Dump that FORD 370....
I have a 1987 Ford F 700 dump truck. It showing just over 40k miles, rust free, it's a pretty nice truck. Hoping to make friends I would like to repair the truck, keep it on hand. One can never tell when they might need a dump truck. It has the 370 engine, it runs fine, but shows water in the oil. All my local sources are say the intake gasket is probably bad. I don't know, but I don't want to get into a trap. What are your thoughts? Anyway to check and make sure what is wrong?

Now this is weird!
The District Attorney's Office says the charges against the man accused of firing shots at "Dog the Bounty Hunter" last month have been dropped. Hoang Nguyen was facing attempted homicide charges. It all started at 7:30 p.m. on April 21 at the Galley Apartments at 3617 E. Uintah. According to police, Colorado Springs bail bondsman Bobby Brown and TV personality Duane Chapman were attempting to execute a warrant. The original report said when Nguyen saw "Dog" approaching, he pulled out a gun and fired at least one shot. However, police say there is no evidence, meaning shell cases or property damage, to prove that a shot was fired. Or maybe it's not! "DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT"

Sellers that offer Pickup Only-No Shipping
This is an open letter to all sellers that mat read this and if you are guilty of what I am referring to then you know who you are. Before I ride off into the sunset and away from ebay forever there has been one thing that has always bothered me, and it has to do with sellers of vehicle engines and transmissions that do not offer shipping and want you the buyer to drive across country to physically pick up and haul away whatever it is that you have purchased, ridicolous! Sellers, you do realize that by excluding any shipping of the item that you attempting to sell that you are limiting your potential buyers? That by listing an item and stating pickup only automatically causes me and I'm sure many others to just click off your ad and move onto to another sellers item. Perhaps if ebay can ever pull their heads out of the sand and get their ebay motors problems resolved they might look at having an entire section that is devoted to only those items and/or sellers that refuse to have any shipping, just make it their own little 'you come and get it' section, that way all of the other sections with items for sale would be a lot less cluttered, oh well just excuse me, I'm blowing off some steam, this has always been a pet peeve of mine, it sort of rings bells with being excluded and selective sales strategies, if a seller really only prefers to sell something locally and have someone come and pick it up then they should place their ads in the local paper or neighborhood bulletin board but then again what does it matter, with the way the new and improved ebay motors currently is, I will not be buying anything, anytime soon from anyone on ebay, moot point.

Need Advise On An Old Cadillac Fleetwood......
I have a 1994 Caddy Fleetwood, one of the last years for the big ones with the Corvette (good) engine.....I'm the 2nd owner and purchased it when it was only 2 years old/40,000 miles. Now it has 150,000 miles....I always maintained the engine pretty well (oil changes, etc). But I went through a divorce 5 years ago, and didn't have $$ to put into the car so it has several typical caddy problems, like windows not working, air messed up, dash panel cracked from weather, etc. And it is starting to show some light rust. I had the tranny rebuilt 1-1/2 years ago, only drove it 5,000 miles since then......and a couple of weeks ago, the tranny went AGAIN....UGH. The mechanic won't stand behind it (was only garanteed for 1 year).......I'm just SICK over the tranny going so soon (this is WHY I spent $1300 to have it REBUILT, as apposed to a USED one)......so I'm trying to decide if I should fix this tranny again, or try to find another 1994-96 Caddy with lower miles/better condition/etc .....plus, I'm picky and only want Black (in other words, trying to find a needle in a haystack........lol). I have been watching Ebay, and geez these cars are holding their value!! There was a wrecked one that just sold for $1,000. And there is one with only 30,000 miles that is currently at $7,000 and the reserve isn't even MET. Others with over 100,000 miles are still going for $5,000. My friend who buys/sells alot of cars, says I shouldn't put more $$ in this car, he thinks I could find this same car/better condition for cheap on Craig's List, but so far no luck. I also checked autotrader.com. The ones on Ebay seem to go pretty high dollar, and most are far away (I'm in PA)......I am SO scared of buying something sight unseen, having it shipped, etc. And 1/2 of me says I "know" what I have in my car, and worried that I might be buying a lemon.......ugh. So, trying to weigh the decision out. Any advise??

What causes an engine to smoke like this?
I was driving home though the mountians in western MD after delivering a car, and I was following a late model GMC pickup for a few miles. Speed was around 75 mph down the hills and I assume he was coasting because I was too. Everytime he got to the bottom of the hill I see a large puff of smoke as he got on the gas. There was no smoke while going up the hills as if there may be worn rings. What causes this?

Where did the GOOD motors menus go?
Several months ago (last year perhaps?) Ebay Motors used to have a VERY superior filtering scheme to what they have today. Is there a way to "turn on" that past or to somehow get the error ridden current release fixed? Whenever "searching in current results" it always goes back to the HIGHEST level, totally missing the goal of searching in results. Also, the filtering for searches changed significantly - now showing "ranges" of years, not individual years (and that new bar on the left works only some of the time). MOST of the "series" designations that Ebay has are wrong anyway: Land Rover, Volkswagen, BMW, Porsche...I could go on. PLEASE bring back the pure filtering

What a Great Story:
updated 1:30 p.m. MT, Fri., May 22, 2009 WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates says American soldiers have more than their military might and training on their side in the war in Afghanistan. Some have pink underwear. Gates told an audience in New York about Specialist Zachary Boyd, routed from sleep by enemy fire on his post in eastern Afghanistan. "He immediately grabbed his rifle and rushed into a defensive position clad in his helmet, body armor, and pink boxer shorts that said 'I Love New York,'" Gates said Thursday night."Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective, an AP photographer was there for a candid shot," Gates continued. The photograph by David Guttenfelder ran on the front page of the New York Times and is featured in the msnbc.com slide show on this story. Gates said Boyd, from Forth Worth, Texas, later told his parents he might get fired. Gates assured his audience at the Intrepid museum, and Boyd, that his job is safe. "Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind of courage," Gates said, adding that Boyd may have hit on a new kind of psychological warfare. "I can only wonder about the impact on the Taliban. Just imagine seeing that

I told them or asked if there was anyway I could get them sooner and explained I was a dummy from Iowa and thought they would prob have a set on the shelf. Now here is were it gets good. The Legendary sales rep tells me if I skip them and order straight from their supplier I should be able to get them sooner. He gave me a phone # and contact name and told me good luck. I called the supplier and long story short the covers arrrived today {Sat.} and look great. No heat sealed seams all stiched , correct grain ect , there made in the USA {N. J.} and they fed exd them to me when done. No extra charge , just a thanks for your business note. $46.00 less than what Legendary told me. Yep thats right Legendary only makes a $46 markup on a full set of near $600 seat covers. I am tossing my yearone cat into the can. I have a new supplier.

The only thing it needs is the upholstery could use some extra cushioning. There were only about 2200 of these cars made. Being a convertible definitely brings up the price.

Cash for Clunkers Ending Monday
Really! We mean it this time! Rush right down and buy a car! Link Appliance manufacturers now want their own rebate program to replace older appliances with newer, more energy efficient ones. From WSJ: US Program Will Offer Rebates For Household Appliances * By Bob Tita Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--Appliance manufacturers are counting on a "cash for clunkers"-type rebate program to revive slumping sales of refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers. Beginning late this fall, federal rebates will be available for purchasers of high-efficiency household appliances, furnaces and air-conditioning systems. Congress authorized $300 million for the program earlier this year as part of the federal economic-stimulus bill. After seeing the recent surge in new-car orders attributed to the federally funded clunkers program, appliance industry executives are hoping to lure consumers back into appliance store showrooms with rebates that are expected to reach $200 on some types of appliances. "It's a good way for the consumer to get back into the marketplace," said J.B. Hoyt, director of governmental relations for Whirlpool Corp. (WHR), the world's largest producer of household appliances by revenue. "Clearly, anything that boosts business is good for us." Whirlpool has been pushing for such a program for years. The 2005 energy bill included an authorization for $300 million over six years for energy-efficiency rebates on appliances. That authorization was never funded, but in the 2009 stimulus bill, the entire $300 million was authorized. Appliances covered by the program include dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators. They must carry Energy Star ratings, indicating they meet energy-efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. To qualify for rebates, buyers won't have to trade in older, less-efficient models, which is a key component of the car program. Appliances made by companies based overseas will be eligible for the rebates if they have the Energy Star label. In 2008, about 55% of newly produced major household appliances qualified for the Energy Star designation, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers in Washington. Whirlpool, Electrolux (ELUXY), General Electric Co. (GE) and other appliance companies are mired in severe sales slumps linked to the collapse of the U.S. home construction industry and prolonged by an economic recession that has damped consumers' interest in buying expensive durable goods. The $300 million was distributed to states based on the number of households. But the federal government left most of the details, including specific rebate amounts for each type of appliance, up to state governments to decide. States' plans for the program are due to the Department of Energy by Oct. 15.

Policy on stating 'Clear Title'
eBAY should consider changing their requirements for sellers listing vehicles with statements of 'Clear Title'. Over the last several weeks of engaging in bids for used RV's and ensuing dialogue with some sellers, I have found that in fact they DO NOT actually have 'clear and conveyable titles' due to outstanding liens for these vehicles due to using the title as collateral to secure a loan of some type(i.e.; auto title loans, personal loans, etc.). The legal definition of a clear title is one that is free of any and all debtor liens or encumbrances and would be immediately conveyable by the seller to a new owner. This should be the case when stating a clear title at the time of listing an auction as opposed to selller waiting on a buyers money to satisfy any liens or encumbrances to make said title 'Clear and Conveyable'. A simple solution would be to make sellers aware that if stating 'Clear Title' they must in fact have possession of the legal title for said vehicle, clear of any and all encumbrances. On the other hand, if they have used the title as collateral to secure financing for said vehicle or for any other loan purposes where a bank or lending institution holds title ownership until said lien is paid in full then sellers should be given the choice to state a 'Clean and Conveyable' title. This way buyers will know in advance that at the time of winning an auction and preparing to take delivery, they will need to work with the seller and/or any current lien holder to ensure a speedy and uneventful transfer of said title to the new owner. I for one would be very upset to have traveled several hundreds of miles after winning an auction with CASH IN HAND, expecting a clear title transfer between only seller and buyer, to discover that I would now have to wait for the seller to use MY money to clear all liens in order to convey that so-called 'Clear Title'. This also becomes evident when running an AutoChek or CarFax report on listed VIN's which is another issue in itself as I have also found a number of listings with either no VIN shown or an incorrect one. This clear title issue should also extend to the numerous wholesalers listing on eBay who in fact many times use the titles of vehicles they have purchased at auto auctions to secure financing from their lending institutions. While many of these wholesalers do state in their listings that title conveyance can take up to 30-days (which is a clear sign they do not actually own these titles free and clear) it can be misleading to actually state clear title in their listings.

MSNBC: Gun-toting protesters are 'white' racists...
.MSNBC: Gun-toting protesters are 'white' racists... Black Guy with AR-15 edited to conceal his race. Link On Tuesday, MSNBCs Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black. Following Brewers report, which occurred on the Morning Meeting program, host Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC pop culture analyst Toure discussed the supposed racism involved in the protests. Toure argued: "...there is tremendous anger in this country about government, the way government seems to be taking over the country, anger about a black person being president....we see these hate groups rising up and this is definitely part of that." Ratigan agreed: "...then they get the variable of a black president on top of all these other things and thats the move the cherry on top, if you will, to the accumulated frustration for folks." Not only did Brewer, Ratigan, and Toure fail to point out the fact that the gun-toting protester that sparked the discussion was black, but the video footage shown of that protester was so edited, that it was impossible to see that he was black. The man appeared at a health care rally outside of President Obamas speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Arizona.

I replied asking for more photos, got those, then I asked the engine type and transmission, then the model number ... each time she replied with the info I requested along with a request to commit immediately as she needs to get the eBay shipping form filled out (yeah right!) Gonna let her stew for a bit and then request some totally off the wall info and see what she says. I have already reported the ad as a scam to several sites where I found an identical ad and that had her email address listed. Just curious if anyone else has ever played with scammers? I had years ago, but this one really got my goat since we have been looking for a few months now for an RV and it got my hopes up of finally finding what we were looking for! Shy who has a bit of a in her at times!

Bad seller lurking on ebay motors
I recently won a 2006 suzuki katana on ebay motors. The seller assured 100% satisfaction. The bike was described as "road ready, fluids checked, recently serviced, and cosmetic flaws are pictured" Well the bike is not road ready it has broken turn signals and will not pass inspection until I PAY to fix it. This was not shown/visible in their "pictures". Fluids checked... I recieved the motorcycle with NO OIL or BREAK FLUID, and the small amount of gas it had was mud brown!! When I asked why I didnt get a response. The bike is said to have been recently serviced... The whole chain has rust on it.. the oil filter has caked on mud and grease on the outside of it and doesnt show any signs of being "recently serviced". The cosmetic flaws... now some were pictured yet the pictures look way better than the bike.. When I emailed them prior to auction end asking info they told me look at pictures. The bike appears to have been in several accidents with scrapes digs and scratches everywhere. I did not recieve my title or temporary tags for the bike (like they promised to). I finally recieve the title 33 days after the end of the auction. The title does not match the bike neither does the bill of sale. I will not be signing the bill of sale.. The bill of sale and title says its a black bike.. the bike is pink, it was advertised as pink sold as pink and arrived pink. The title and bill of sale also say its a 6sx750, it is a GSX750F Katana.. now I need to pay to fix a title they screwed up. If that is not bad enough they advertised the motorcycle in the auction as having a "clear title" Well.... They didnt even have a title for the vehicle until August 7th 2009. The auction ended July 13th 2009. I reported the issue I was having to ebays buyer protection what a joke more like SELLER PROTECTION. I told them I was unhappy with the condition of the bike and it was not as described, and at that point in time I still hadnt recieved a title. The seller(s) told me, my father, the conflict resolution guy they were going to give me a full refund and have the bike sent back to them, on the condition I changed my negative feedback about them to say good things. I agreed to fix my feedback for the refund cause hey $4500.00 is $4500.00. Well they agreed to this then "changed their mind" (Ebays buyer protection can't do anything about it cause "it isnt in writing") And the seller still expects me to change my feedback for a mere $800.00. I don't think so. I say they because the seller is listed as Robert Wilson, but his son Brandon Wilson is the one that seems to do all the negotiating. It is my hope that other buyers do not fall victim to their feedback rating of 97.3% (now 95.7% since they don't care about making the customer happy or keeping their word) because i beleive i am not the only buyer whom had an issue, and i think they pressured past unhappy customers to change the feedback to make them look good, in exchange for a "full refund" or a small pathetic bribe like what was offered to me. They would not answer my calls. They do not respond to emails, i do not have a paper trail at all on these guys. They prefer to "do their business over the phone (their phones arent even land lines all are cell phones) ". Do not fall victim to these sub-par sellers with "good feedback" They do not care about their customers and do not (or at least for me) did not accurately describe the item. They do not stand behind their sales or products and are only out to make themselves look good. And dont rely on ebay to bail you out their only looking out for number one as well. Ebay wont handle issues on ebay motors they pay an outside company (Auction Insurance Agency) to handle the problems. And pay pal forget it pay pal wont cover issues with Vehicles. So no one will help you, so if you decide to buy on ebay motors if you cant check it out in person dont do it, because you may end up like me with a deal thats "too good to be true". Ebay's auction insurace agency, also doesnt care about accuracey of descriptions on ebay motors, so apparently you could put up a picture of a brand new car and really sell a piece of crap because they do not care and wont help out the buyer (the photos posted and the actual condition of the vehicle isn't important to them). They bail out the seller to come to an "agreement" with the buyer because in their eyes helping out the buyer costs them too much money. i will NEVER buy from ebay motors again and i suggest you out there in ebay land NEVER BUY FROM "HAWGTOWNCYCLESGALORE" or purchase from sellers that go by the name of "Robert Wilson, or Brandon Wilson" Buyer Beware: Paypal doesnt offer buyer protection on vehicles. Ebay themselves do not deal with ebay motors issues. Auction Insurance Agency in my case was not out to help the buyer they were out to do whatever is "cheaper" for them. Read what is covered by the "Vehicle Protection Program" they claim body is protected yet the paint *which i always thought was part of the body, according to them it isnt*.

Play Name that Car?
Anyone wanna play? I have this photo, I estimate dates to 1908-1912 roughly. I think the touring car looks similar to a 1909-1910 Ford Model T but it does not quite match sample images I have found so far. Fenders and headlights seem a little off and the hoods did not have louvers. The running board tank and circle panel between doors seems unique also. Though I know that some of this can vary on model lines.

I just wasted an hour and a half of My morning searching to no avail. Who's job is it to work these bugs out? After 6 Mo's they still have no clue as to what peeps are here for? So they load the search function up with their fancy Java, only to give incomplete results, slower page loads, with crappy filtering. When are We going to get an ADEQUATE search system? The old system was fast, easy, and accurate. The New system is slow, gives very poor filtering capabilities, and the most frustrating of all, it resets Your search box when switching thru any of the ridiculess java functions. I'm totally fed up with this crappy rework! Someone needs to be FIRED!!!!

Ebay Compromised again
Last night I made a bid on a vehicle offered by Northpoint Toyota in Arkansas. 15 minutes after bid was made I received an email directly to my home email, addressing me by name, not through the ebay messaging system from this dealer. I then received a phone call from the same dealer. Think about this! I made a bid under my member name and yet this Dealer got my name address and phone number from EBAY. Think EBAY might have a problem here if this software the dealer used gets put into place. I have placed a complaint with EBAY regarding this but we all know how that does not work.

We strongly encourage buyers to work with sellers before opening a claim relating to a purchase. Buyers and sellers agree to follow the requirements of the eBay Buyer Protection Policy with respect to claims. eBay Buyer Protection covers only claims filed in accordance with the eBay Buyer Protection Policy, not claims filed with PayPal. We may suspend the eBay Buyer Protection Policy without notice if we suspect abuse or interference with the proper working of the program. We require eBay sellers to comply with our resolution process. Sellers permit us to make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any claim that a buyer files with eBay under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy.

I'm A Grandpa
First grandchildren, twin boys, born Monday evening, taken by cesarean four weeks early due to complications with one of the boys. Healthy one James weighed in at 5.5 lbs, and he and mother came home tonight. Joseph, 5 lbs, has VATER syndrome, with multiple problems, primarily with lungs and, more seriously, with his kidneys. Doctors said a few weeks ago that he wouldn't live but a few hours; now there is hope that wasn't there even right after birth. I know some of you already know about it, and have been praying for him; please continue to do so. It means a lot to us to know people are asking the Lord for healing for this little guy. Beautiful boys, by the way. And I'm not just saying it 'cause I'm their Granddaddy. I'd say it if they were your grandsons too!

Mercedes-Benz Car Cover - But What Model
I was given a car cover for a Mercedes-Benz and the only thing I could find that might be a tell is CMB66055NH. There is also a stencil print inside the cover with CMB66055 and 02/00/0 under it. Does anyone know what model and year this may belong to? I have seen one car cover on eBay motors with CMB-66003 and that belong to C350. This is OEM. It comes from Mercedes-Benz. This is not some aftermarket car cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a buyer that has not paid for the vehicle and has not given me any indication that he is intending to complete the sale. He seems to always have another question for me after I have already answered several of them. I don't mind answering questions, but most buyers ask them during the active auction and not after they won the bid. This buyer asked no questions during the time that the auction was open.

Yea, Here's a teacher that needs some....
YAKIMA, Wash. — A Washington kindergarten teacher who sent a 5-year-old student home with a bag of feces tucked in his backpack has been formally reprimanded. A West Valley School District official warned teacher Sue Graham in a letter that similar behavior in the future will result in disciplinary action, including termination. more education! The boy's father had said his son arrived home in April with the plastic bag of feces and a note that read "This little turd was found on the floor in my room." The boy was moved out of Graham's classroom after the incident. The May letter was released Thursday in response to a public disclosure request from KIMA-TV. The district had previously said "appropriate action" was taken against the longtime teacher.

Jackson Doctors are in deep....
poo poo! Jackson Docs Can Run But Can't Hide Posted Jul 4th 2009 12:23PM by TMZ Staff As law enforcement officials comb through medical records to determine who supplied and administered the anesthesia Propofol and other drugs to Michael Jackson, we've learned there may be a fail-safe way of getting at the truth. It's no secret -- especially in a celebrity town like L.A. -- some doctors use pseudonyms for celebrity patients and sometimes their medical charts somehow get "lost." But we've learned most doctors leave an indelible footprint when it comes to treating patients. Many doctors -- especially ones with big practices -- use medical software systems from MD Systems, NexTech and other companies. These companies provide the software that makes it easy to input billing data. Doctors typically input the patient's name, billing amount, type of treatment, type of drugs prescribed and administered, and date of service. Here's the thing -- that data cannot be deleted from the server. The system allows doctors to add other data like medical charts, and those things can be deleted. But if someone deletes that info, the software shows the name of the user who did it and the date it was done. Bottom line -- the basic billing information will not go away. As we reported days ago, law enforcement found Propofol inside Jackson's house. Propofol is an anesthesia, which should never be administered outside a hospital, and it's looking like that drug killed Jackson. If cops find who supplied it and who administered it, the docs could well be prosecuted for manslaughter.

UPDATE: 1993 GEO METRO automatic 3 cyl
Sorry I did not reply back when I said I would last time I posted. I went to AutoZone and told them to test anything they could do for free. They tweaked whatever they could on top of the car under the hood and which improved the acceleration and now it only dies when you are at a stop and have the AC turned on. With the AC on it will also die in reverse. If I don't have the AC turned on during those times it won't die. Once you get going it runs fine with the AC. I have learned to turn the AC off when I stop or in reverse. So does that give you an idea of what could be wrong with the car? I heard that someone could do like a 150 point inspection. Would you recommend I have that done? Trying to sell the car and if it sells great if not this will be a nice project car in the future I suppose. Are you

Opinions Please - Motorhome scam?
NEED YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE - read the reply below that I received from the seller of a motorhome. I didn't find it on eBay and didn't know it was ever even listed on eBay prior to this reply and was seriously considering purchasing it. I thought the motorhome was in the Austin TX area not far from where I live and when I asked the lady for directions to go see it, I find out it is in Florida and she wants payment to be made through eBay. Thanks, Fred Would appreciate your comments after reading this following reply: * * * * * * * * * * * Hello again, The vehicle was listed for sale in an auction on eBay but I have removed the add because of some 'serious' buyers . They promissed they will buy the vehicle from me but they proved not to have the money to pay for it . At the moment, the vehicle with proper documentation including title and keys is in a storage facility in FL and shipping to your address is already paid by my ex-buyer. The financial part of our transaction is going through eBay's Purchase Protection Program and here are the steps: - I need your full name, shipping address and phone# - I will forward this information to eBay's purchase protection department and they will start our transaction - eBay sends you the invoice with payment details for our transaction - payment must be sent through Bank Wire Transfer to an eBay Purchase Protection bank account managed by one of their transaction officers ( PayPal can't be used because it only covers $ 2000 ). - after they secure the payment in their account, they will notify me and I will start shipping. Shipping will take no more than 5 days ( 2 days to prepare the shipping and 3 days for the shipping depending on your location). - after you receive the vehicle you will have another 5 days to inspect it. - when the inspection period ends, eBay contacts you and if there are any issues with the vehicle, they will fully refund you within 3 business days and the vehicle will be shipped back at my expense. If all is good with the vehicle, which I'm sure it will be, they will assist you with the title transfer and release the payment to me. I apologize if it seems like I'm pushing on this deal but I really want to be sure that everything is clarified before any further steps. I'm a serious seller and I prefer to deal with a serious buyer. If you agree with these terms, please send me your full name, shipping address and phone number, in order to start the transaction! Thank you,

Collector cars and parts of the week?
Found a guy up the road here who claims to have an engine and drivetrain for a Henry J, an "old" caddy hood and grille. I may check into this stuff. Way back in the boonies of PA (I'm talking piped in sunshine) sunday I found this old service garage with a 1946? GM sedan, the newest car was about 1954, and the place looked as if they had locked the doors and walked away 50 years ago. I had a Boxer dog I had just adopted minutes before, so I did not get out of the truck to check it out. Definitly looked like something old was inside, just could not take two minutes to check. There's still old iron out there.

Cool Feature On Google Maps
My wife just showed me that on GoogleMaps.com some of the search results show a "Street View" of the address. I guess they had hired people to drive and video the actual physical adress, and are uploading it onto their maps. If the adress you search can be seen, the menu box on the map will say "Street View", just click on that and you can "drive" down that street and see the buildings, homes, etc. Of course, this might have been out there for a while, but I just found out about it today. Pretty cool! Now maybe you won't even have to go and inspect a car your interested in, hopefully it will be sitting on the front lawn with a for sale sign and you can check it out from home! . . .

2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Coupe
This is one I took a gamble on today. 2008 Altima 2.5S Coupe with 87K miles. Can hardly find a parking lot ding on it. Drove it to Huntsville and back to Bham today. It's sweet.

Another reason Ebay drives me crazy
Recently I listed 9 die cast/plastic models for sale...thought all was well....then I see one of them was over, thought someone hit BIN...Nope,seems ebay cancelled it...reason stated in their email was..."cant use the words,"like new" in the description....we are talking a model for goodness sakes,dont really see the big deal...anyway,seems petty,so they credited me,and I relisted it, and dropped the 2 words....but as I advised them they could have just sent me an email ,and asked me to drop the 2 words,but,heh, its ebay,no reason to think common sense would work.....and I assume the "bots" picked up the verbage,am I right on that Doc?...

How to give a speech at a Wedding Committment Ceremony

A little bit of forward planning will make your speech easier to give than you think. Some people make it look easy but they have usually thought about their speech and planned it out.
My best guide is to make it short and sweet. 3 minutes if you really want a time limit. Unless you are a really good speaker and have a great speech then keep it really short, funny and inspiring and the guests will love you.
In general - Think Past, Present and Future and in 3 short minutes you will have made a great speech.
- The Past. If you have a short funny story about their younger days tell it. You can embarrass them (but not too much)
- Thank them for the joy they have brought into your life and marvel at their ability to make it this far
- The Present. Tell them how special they are
- Thank your guests for coming and of course the presents, and
- The Future. Say what you want the future to hold for the lucky couple, and
- Raise your glasses to toast.
You probably know all the other tips like
- rehearse your speech,
- write it down if you want but try not to just read it out,
- look at your audience,
- if you leave something out or make a mistake just keep going. Chances are the guests have had a few drinks by this stage and after all they are friends and family here. They aren't here to criticise your speech. They are here to celebrate the coming together of two very special people.

Customs can add up to another 30 business days to the delivery process due to their slow processes.
We usually ship by Registered Australia Post due to it’s reliability and low cost, but the downside to this is that there is no internet trackable number to follow progress of your shipment and it is slower than using the couriers, although the item is still fully insured. We are issued with a ‘Registered Mail’ consignment number which can be used to make enquiry at the Post Office here in Australia and also to claim insurance (should this ever be required) but it can’t be used for online web based tracking – that service isn’t available using Registered Post
We do realise that it would be nice to be able to track on the internet but it’s a cost matter: If we used insured couriers for example our shipping costs would have to be approximately four times higher than they are now
We can provide an express courier shipping facility (which includes an internet trackable number) for an additional $100 shipping cost which is effectively cost price for this service – we would not derive any profit from this service should you choose to use it as this does represent the typically cost charged for this service in this part of the world
Our own experience has also shown that the implementation of the Homeland Security Laws requiring package searches on entry to various countries has added a whole new dimension to shipping times. Pure shipping by Registered mail typically takes 3-15 Business days while Customs can add another 5-10 business days to shipping times in countries where customs is 'fast', for example Singapore. In countries where we have found Customs to 'not be fast' (Canada and Netherlands in particular spring to mind), Customs can add up to another 30 business days to the delivery process due to their slow processes.
Please rest assured we do not 'hold onto' your money; we ship 98% of all items within two business days of us receiving payment
