    Doggie PooPoo Pictures Needed - Yes, I'm serious.

    Okay, I can't believe I'm actually going to ask for these, but here goes: Please email me high res photos of your (or anybody else's) dog taking a crap and send them to klst6520@msn.com I am convinced that there is a niche market for candendars and coffee table books as gag gifts, and I need...

    Leaking Water Hose - Where does it go?

    I've had a slow water leak for a while now, and a couple of days ago it allowed a little air into the system when I was pushing a little harder than usual. I can see the leak on this end, but I can't tell where the hose ends up. The hose looks like crap, needs to be replaced, and looks like a...

    Worth it to flip a 92 Cressy?

    I was approached by somebody at work with a relative who owns a 92 Cressida with a BHG in otherwise great shape, and looking to dump it cheap. I took a quick look at it (they were not there), and the body was in great shape with no rust and good paint, and interior was in amazing condition...

    Anybody Installed XM Radio Antenna on their Supra?

    Didn't see anything in a search, and I'm ready to put my antenna in and start using my XM2Go in the car again. I think hiding wires under carpet/trim, out the top of the hatch and then mounting the magnetic antenna 1/2 way between the hatch and targa would get me the best signal, but I'd like...

    There's a lot of discussion on this topic, but I'd like some numbers to help me decide whether to go ahead with the mod when I do my 5 speed swap. If you've done this mod, let me know if you love it or hate it. Please, no voting if you don't have first hand experience with it.

    New spark plugs after water in the valley?

    I went to pick up my car from the paint shop after her new colors and tinting were finished and she ran like complete shit. No question there were less than 6 cylinders firing, and I saw water in the battery pan and on the AC compressor. I turned around, brought her back, and told them to make...

    Another Dead Yellow Jacket - hehe

    So, I'm at my desk and a yellow jacket lands on my arm from out of nowhere, so I grabbed the nearest beaker, caught it and now have a recipe for making it completely disappear for those who have access to a lab: Add the following to a 100ml round bottom flask: 1 really pissed off yellow...

    Might Build a New House? Consider This...

    Please learn from our mistakes!!!!!!!! We had a new home built in '00 by DR Horton - a huge company that built 51,000+ homes in '05 throughout the United States. I'm not going to go into all the details here, but it was never a good experience for us. We were led to believe a lot of things...

    Kill a cat Theresa - Kurt's Answer to California

    I think I have a very simple win-win solution for the eco-conscious Californians who keep passing senseless legislation and who are now responsiblle for the sickingly frivolous anti-automaker lawsuit. I propose that all automakers simply agree to no longer sell new cars in the state of...

    How to get the BEST $2500 Paint Job

    So I've got $2,500 to have my Supra painted in the next couple of months. I'm seriously debating doing the prep work myself, but my wife is pushing to have a paint shop do it if it means me not spending every night for a month or more in the garage. Yesterday I got this quote: $2,500 for 2...

    A new concept - weigh in political thread regulars!

    So I've had this crazy idea of the perfect government for a while, shared it with a few people for fun, had some interesting comments, and wanted to see what some of our politically outspoken members had to say about it. (ahem, Supracentral, Nick M, Weezle, Joel W, and a few others...) The...

    Photoshop My Ride Please! - Two Tone MKIII?

    So I'm thinking about new paint this winter. My '90 Turbo is red, and it's not my favorite. I'd like to change the color, but I don't want a half-a$$ed job and since I won't be pulling the motor to do the engine bay that's the way it would end up. I absolutely love the dark graphite grey...
