Recalling Gavin Newsom would be a good start.

And I do want to ask the mechanic how he adjusted the cable end, so it looks like I will have to take it back.

Sounds like a good theft deterrent.

California has a death penalty. The people voted for it. The Supreme Court has upheld it.

The brake petal in most vehicles has a safety start switch , if it starts in neutral then press it down in park , that could be the problem , in my 04 superduty mud from my boots would jamb that switch up , causing it to malfunction, there’s a discussion on this topic in the 6.0 diesel forum on here ,
Rob I’ll have to watch the video for the sirloin , Brazilians also eat horse meat if I’m not mistaken, I’m alil partial to beef and pork.
somebody needs to load that guy with some horse tranquilizer, and parade him through Niner country for some free bamboo whoop azz, I’m with Hank target practice with this scum .

Okay guys,

I need to order replacement headlights for my Dad’s 2010 F150. Which manufacturers should I avoid? Any r recommendations or things to look for? Probably going to stay pretty much stock with this.

You will need H13 or 9008 lamps. Both are exactly the same. You can stay with halogen bulbs. Sylvania, Philips, and Hella are good. Hella offers the brightest halogen bulb. Sylvania offers the most options, including LED.. All are reliable. Amazon, Wal*Mart, any auto parts store should have a basic lamp. Pricing will vary greatly. Wal*Mart and Amazon will have the lowest prices. You already know that a $12 light bulb will not be as bright.

California has a death penalty, but nobody wants to use it even though the voters voted for it twice. Typical.
Scott you may be on to something there. I will see if pressing the brake pedal in Park will allow it to start.
When buying bulbs, I usually stick with Sylvania, however, I am sure Hella and Phillips are good too.

My bad, I didn’t see it until this morning. I meant to type headlight assemblies. One is broken and the other is frosting.

We got a full set for the 2010 Tacoma for around $120 IIRC. They had to be aimed a little, but we've had them for a couple years now without trouble.


WRT burgers, Yahoo Life rated hamburgers for which is the healthiest. Although, when I'm choosing a burger, the healthiest choice is not really on my mind.

The truck started off with OEM. You can go OEM for replacement. Aftermarket body parts for collision repair are usually cheaper. Not better. But I don't know if they could be much worse. In most cases, you still have to aim and adjust after installation.

Already? How many miles did the OEM tires last?

Interesting. I think my foot is always on the brake when turning the key. It's something that I do without thinking.

Brazilian steak is pretty good. In Brazil, they figured out how to take different cuts, which may not be as tender, and make it really good. I am impressed by the way they prepare the sirloin cap, top sirloin, and bottom sirloin.
