1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That’s good that you bought a house. So many people leasing and renting.

 

i just want to make sure my truck is near 100% protected so I can enjoy it on the mean nasty winter streets
at my trucks age i can not be overlooking body panel stuff or its going to cost a boatload of money to fix properly
and i already am needing a newish economy car in the near future

 

how close to DC are you?
i read that area is bogo expensive on housing

This M18 set any good? I went to Home Depot and couldn’t find those crazy specials you were talking about.

i am just looking at whats available out there on the truck market
have not seen any near comparable in more than a decade, and it will soon be two decades to see what the new design and makeup is going to be on the next gen
the Colorado looks interesting but not looking for any 4door type of truck
probably would swing a T4R, those look cool but the tag on those are near $50k! and then i have no pickup to haul stuff when needed

 

There wasn't a single GTR at the Express Rally event last weekend. There were two guys there that I recall had GTRs last year and were driving Lambos this year.
In years past, there were more GTRs than Lambos, but that has changed.

 

Hey now... Do clamps count? Tired of putting this stuff off - I WILL get the radiator flush and clamp replacement done tomorrow. Cleaned up quite a bit of the pink crusty gunk on the lower at the inlet where it was slowly leaking.

 

Something about getting a bundle and returning a tool for extra money.

 

Every other car I saw in Los Gatos was a Porsche Cayenne. I think it’s a sign.

 

That damn red one on Copart is $1,200 now. I’d buy it if I had a business license.

 

Nothing Copart will accept.

 

To add insult to injury, it’s at the Copart in my hometown.

 

Especially when there the nearest dealer is in St. Louis and there is Nissan dealer right there.

Not that I could own either, but I kind of like that a GTR is a little less "tony" than a Lambo.

With the round tail lights, it just looks like some kind of a little shiv-a-lay sports car. That may be the reason for the change. The GTR was too common looking. LOL

 

Most of the BF & pre BF sales are over. There may be deals coming up for Christmas but not nearly as good.

I personally wouldn't buy that kit. I don't see the point for DIY automotive work. The 1/2 High Torque is a good gun but depends on your needs. It's big & heavy, over kill for lugnuts & suspension work. 3/8 Mid Torque is a good gun but again big & bulky for a 3/8" gun. I do have the Mid Torque but in 1/2". I had the 1st gen High Torque but for the reasons mentioned I gave it to my brother. For a 3/8" impact I prefer it to be small & compact, 3/8" size impact guns aren't commonly used for high power. The M12 3/8" Stubby is a good gun. I went with the M18 3/8 compact even though the M12 is slightly stronger.

 

I run all Milwaukee stuff. M18 is great. The fuel line is their better stuff

 

yeah, to clear the hell out of there as fast as you can...

 

I just want a good, strong impact I can use for those really stubborn fasteners at the yard. I can’t find a store with the Milwaukee stuff in stock. I want to hold it and feel it before I buy it.

 

Those "return deals" aren't advertised by HD. It's a HD hack so to speak & they'e been possible for years.

 

Are catch cans legal?

 

Not here. Take it off before your next smog. I welded a bung to my intake to remove the Meth nozzle when it comes time for emissions.
