Heard some recent chatter about the movie Midsommar. People were saying it was good, creepy, etc. I finally decided to watch it tonight. Please give me my 2.5 hours back. I wish I had watched something else.

If you had 20+k sitting in your bank account and you didn't need to use it for anything what would you do with it? How would you invest it say for 5 to 10 years give or take? What would be the best roi?

Hell Yeah!!! Goodbye Bama!!

I actually just had the timing belt etc. changed in late summer this year. Last time I had it done was 2013. It had been 10 years.

Ok, so an update: My car has like 184+k miles on it just for reference. My mechanic said he's only been able to find one transmission it has 114k on it. It would come with a multi-year, unlimited mileage warranty. He said it'll run me $2800 installed. That's $800 more than I was expecting...

Another friend recommended going used as well. Yeah, definitely cheaper than buying a new car for sure! Thanks for your opinion. When I called Ken at Asian Auto Specilists he said they typically offer a 2 year warranty. If true that's awesome.

Still a work in progress. I just got back from a trip and brought covid home with me. Today's was the first day of calling around for pricing. The first estimate was from my shop (Asian Auto Specialist). They would source a used transmission and it would be between $1500 - $2000. He is going to...

I still can't believe I made this thread 6 years ago. Lol! The best thing to put on a sausage biscuit is grape jelly. Order a sausage biscuit from your favorite breakfast place and spread their grap jelly on top. It sounds crazy but it's delicious. It's the salty/sweet combo.

Anyone a fan of AAMCO transmission, or Tranco Transmission? Or any other shops?

Hey all. Only serious responses please. I've got a 2000 Honda Accord that is in good condition minus the transmission. I know this car inside and out and exactly what's wrong with it. The engine is great! It has 188k on the car but the transmission just reached a point where it is no longer...

Not me. I'd irrigate my lawn at night it's best for every reason you can think of.

Not a general one that I'm aware of. Depends on the area. Apparently there is a neighborhood in Maryville where if 2 guys on the same street are washing their cars and the kid down the same street is playing in the sprinkler the water pressure diminishes to a trickle. Sounds more like crappy...

We're getting a few quotes for an irrigation system and keep hearing crazy laws for an area covered by some Nazi water regime called the First Utility District of Knox County/Loudon. Apparently these fools can not only force you to put your blowout valve within 6 feet of your existing meter but...

How are you watching ABC if you have DirecTV? You sure you don't mean Dish?

So pissed! ABC. has been blocked on DirecTV due to a Nexstar dispute for months. I can't even watch the game on tv.
