Ms. Pounder will be so pleased.

Actually, I heard Carol lost 75% of her weight, and is now a quarter Pounder.

I had my first set molded into the things that you see hanging from trailer hitches and such.

Is that a tear in the aluminum just below the pinstripe?

No, its the graphics that are dried and peeling.

I'm going to end up pulling off all the graphics because most of cracked, peeling, or gone all together.

A heat gun works well for that sort of thing.

Shouldn't be your last! Camping and paper plates just seem to go together! :lol:

Do like Carl says, and use a heat gun. Then, leave it downtown for a couple of nights, and if it's still there, it will have a very unique, one of a kind paint job, courtesy of the local taggers.

In the province of British Columbia we can't get our call sign instituted as a TOP (temporary operating permit) though..... :-?

Down here we have moonshiners running stuff through the backwoods. Do they have "Round baconshiners" up there?

[NA4BH]

Syrupshiners, I answered my own question.

[K9CCH]

y' all are a trip

[NQ6U]

Fixed that for you.

No...... we don't have "round baconshiners" here......but mentioning moonshiners,my father-in-law has explained to me in the past that in his youth days in the 50's,he ran around with a bunch of moonshiners on the flats of Saskatchewan who were distilling liquor from wheat grain and running the stuff into North Dakota......but I do digress.......:-D

[kd6nig]

I'm trying to figure out how you can have it on 3 vehicles. Do they have a serial number on them or something? CA would freak out if they ran a plate and it came back to 3 vehicles, for sure.

My ham plates mounted to my work truck:

At least it's my ride........:yes:

[NQ6U]

Hey, cool! Someone who's pickup truck is older and a bigger piece of shit than mine!

[VE7DCW]

I can't close the drivers door properly and the XYL broke the door handle on the passenger side,the muffler is almost dragging,the dash lights don't come on when I turn on the headlights,the windshield seals were leaking until I put silicone on it to keep the rain out and the glove box door falls off...... tell me Carl, how could your truck be a bigger piece of shit than mine ever could?? :rofl:

[NQ6U]

Thanks for proving my point, Gerry!

Mine's not quite as bad as yours, although the ABS light is always on and there's no interior panel on the driver's door and the door locks don't work and I can't turn the radio off (better than not working, and I can turn it down) and sometimes the windshield wipers come on all of their own accord while other times they don't work at all while at still other times they're always on full speed even when I select "intermittent" and the body is rusting from years of working at the salt works and for the last year the "check engine" light has been on, until about two days before I had to take it in for it's biennial smog test last week (which can't be done if the light is on) when it mysteriously went off with no outside intervention. It passed the test easily, though, so it's back on the road for another two years, by which time it will be old enough to buy itself drink.

So, yeah, yours is a bigger piece of shit.

[kb2vxa]

You only need two tools to fix it:
1) If it's not supposed to move but does, use duct tape.
2) If it's supposed to move but doesn't, use WD40.

Then there's the universal tool; Germans call it a Unimog, Americans call it a Round Tuit.

[KG4NEL]

If you want to compare rust holes, I'm game...

[KG4NEL]

I've had a CEL on for two years, although I've narrowed it down to either the O2 sensor or MAF. Yay for OBD1.

Told myself I'd get rid of it at 250K, but that was 15K ago...

[NQ6U]

I forgot to mention the intermittent(!) slow coolant leak. I know it's general location in the engine compartment by where the drip on the driveway is and I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the the vacuum-operated valve for the heater, but it never seems to leak when I'm actively trying to find it. Then there's the cigarette lighter socket which has fallen off because the plastic dashboard has disintegrated around the hole where it fit. Oh, and the back bumper is drooping after some asshole hit it while I was parked, then took off without leaving a note.

I could also mention that the goddamn thing can't get out of it's own way up any sort of hill at all, but that's endemic to all Ranger four-bangers.

On the positive side, the tires and brakes are both good.

Have you tried using....fast coolant?

[kb2vxa]

"...but it never seems to leak when I'm actively trying to find it."

Did you ever try to run a TV shop with an intermittent running for days on the bench and when it shows up by the time you walk over and stick probes in it the darn thing is working fine again? Meanwhile the customer is at the counter screaming "WHERE'S MY TV?" Oh great, another hair puller you'd like to toss out the window!

Then there was The Mystery Of The Missing Picture that drove me nuts, nothing but snow and no sound the customer says, but in the shop it's running just fine. Back home it goes, no charge, customer calls, "No Picture!" WTF? OK, I hop in the truck to see what's going on, sure enough just snow and no sound, just white noise so I drag it back to the shop. I'm going to fix this thing if it kills me and one nearly did but that's another story. Same as before, it's working perfectly... but wait a minute... we have a BMF antenna and a distribution amp, hmmm. I turn the gain down to zilch, the other sets are working, sort of, but this one kaput. Two new tuner tubes later it's working, everybody happy.

As for the coolant leak, a can of Stop Leak works but why spend money when you already have it in the kitchen cupboard? Put a cup of oatmeal in the radiator, it works for me, Cousin Goober the Redneck Engineer.

I think they spelled "California" wrong. According to a certain person it is correctly spelled "Kalifornia". You might want to have the correct the mistake and change the C to a K.

That certain someone of course is using a derogatory spelling of California that even I find offensive and i'm not a citizen of the U.S. ........ if I remember correctly she was told off by QRZ staff not to use it, but she still tries to agitate it by it's use despite the warning! ...... offensive seems to be her unofficial middle name. :irked:
