Could've only been a warning strike.

The next one might hit right on the targets.

Hot off the presses -

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is getting heat for speaking about her “connection” with China during a visit to the Indo-Pacific where she stopped in Taiwan.

“When I was a little girl, I was told at the beach if I dug a hole deep enough, we would reach China, so we’ve always felt a connection there,” Pelosi commented.

NOT THE BABYLON BEE.

Have you checked if it might be a rocker or pushrod yet?

The truck is 300mls away from me Jack. I was approached about the problem. Strange story with such low mileage.

Agreed. I was going to comment about the failure mileage, which is why I brought up the rocker or pushrod. About half the normal lifter failure mileage.

This is something I found while browsing YouTube.
Let's see what the resident brake expert thinks. Start the video at 2:39 in for the brake stuff.

Cold brake stopping probably sucks.

Just curious what thoughts are on this. Someone posts in the classifieds something for sale. An offer is made and accepted. Pick up date and location is agreed to. Seller then notifies 1st buyer that he sold to another buyer (probably for more $$). Is this ok or not cool? Not looking for recourse, just wondering.

​​​​​​​A few ifs in there, but as long as first buyer isn't out any thing (gas money, etc.)can't bitch too much. Definitely not cool though. Buyers can do the same thing, not cool either, especially if the seller had other offers that were better come along they rejected cause it was "sold"
