The magical BHO has the devotion of a few idiots out here who hold positions of power in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Seattle. The solution to their many eco problems is to hike the taxes upon the population until we cease consuming. Fuel taxes were just hiked $0.18/gallon. Our current

[MBZ] Screwed up the blinkers

A few years ago I made a mistake and installed LED bulbs in the SL. Thought I was going to save the old wiring by fewer electrons flowing and heating it up, stripping off ions and melting the insulation. The lumens from these sad excuses for light were minimal. The sunny day drive yesterday

The W220 is back on the road without airmatic issues. Lemforder part installed at my shop is the same as Benz, with the star ground off. My guy was not going to waste time and money putting one with a star in, so I told the idiots at the Stealership they screwed it up. They were unsure, but

Gary is pretty good to deal with it you toss some business his way. The website does an ok job and prices are standard. For the items that are harder to find, Jabba does a good job finding the hard to get things. He got me the NLA front disc brakes on the W140, fixed my screw up order for

The Iditarod race is having big issues due to the lack of snow for the race. Normally starts in Anchorage, but no snow there, so they have to move the start to Fairbanks. There has been a bit of a drought, and when there is precip, it is too warm to make that be snow. El Nino is making PNW
