    ZEP degreaser Citrus vs Purple?

    This is the stuff you can buy at the store, not sure if it's the same citrus that's been recommended before. Expected use is your basic "household" :D degreasing: axles,bearings,chains,pieces,parts,etc.

    Removing grease from rims?

    Degreaser & plastic scraper(s) over a large plastic tub (HD sells black tubs near concrete supplies for $6). HD also sells their ZEP brand degreasers which ought to work good once you get the thick stuff off. Buy a gallon and a spray bottle. Start with the scraper; you're just going to have to...

    Audi tt roadster or Pontiac Solstice

    Can you share where this info can be confirmed? That Ecotec = Toyota? I'm wondering when the last time Toyota offered a turbo powerplant (MR2/Supra?) and where one could get toyota turbo parts for their Solstice/Sky?

    I'm liking Arizona

    Technically, it's loitering/trespassing. But it's up to HD to tell the police to enforce or not. Whether or not you "look" like you're doing anything wrong isn't the idea. If you're an illegal, you've ALREADY broken the law. The fact that you haven't been busted YET doesn't preclude you from...

    What's your idea of the perfect PERFORMANCE boat?

    Says who? All the marketing money and everyone that drools Cig? What can a Cig 39/700 do that the other 10 or so options can't? Why would I spend at least $500k just to be like somebody else? I'll take an Active Thunder comparatively equipped. Or for the same money as that Cig, Pat "might"...

    Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Arizona law

    Who says you have to carry your original card? I said it's pretty easy to confirm the number and matching identity. Your state of residence (by way of your "government issued ID", as required by every state) already requires your social security number to be on file. Daredevil: how many of...

    Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Arizona law

    A "citizen" has (is supposed to have) a Social Security number; not too difficult to verify. A "foreign tourist" is supposed to have (and carry at all times) a passport and if required a travel document indicating reasons and times for being here and when they're leaving. A "permanent...

    Bank wire transfer info

    Banks can use tons of routing numbers. Different for checks, deposits, ACH, FedWires. I guess there are still some banks/branches that have grandfathered special hours. :D

    Bank wire transfer info

    For $200, do you know what your bank charges you for incoming wire fees? Add that to the total.

    Bank wire transfer info

    It's possible, but it's not that easy. Make sure the info you give out is NOT the routing number off a check or deposit slip, but the bank-provided routing number for incoming wires. Do you have different accounts such that one doesn't keep much of a balance most of the time? That's the acct...

    '04 Suburban t-case buttons

    :D Losing one button is that involved? LOL I'm working in client's office tomorrow so may be limited on phone time. Let me know if there's a good or bad time to ring you. I can ring the local number so as not to use up the 800-; I'm "local" KPMP=Pompano. Thanks Jim.

    '04 Suburban t-case buttons

    Had an '01 4WD with 4 buttons: Auto, 2HI, 4HI, 4LO. So far only looking at pictures, but seeing '04s with only 3 buttons. Some of these are advertised as "AWD" instead of "4WD". Wondering if they consolidated a button or changed the transfer case. I know there's a difference between the "AWD"...

    Trailer tires, what do we like these days?

    That's what I did on my trailer. And tire covers. Anything to keep the sun/UV off. Even if stored under shade or indoors, cover the tires in black plastic bags. If you have an old Sunbrella cover, have it made into a couple tire covers. And UV-protectant tire dressing on both sides of...
