  2. I split on Robots Ride Camels in Kuwait · · Score: 2, Funny
    some acid with my girl in Mexico. A couple of pieces of blotter, I think it had the "freak brothers" on it. We tripped for hours in a little park in Matamoros watching a guy that had 3 monkeys riding dogs. It was fucking great, they were hauling ass screaming and jumping through hoops.

    Tiny robots on robot dogs would be cool. Damn, I feel like dropping a tab or two.

    I can remember it seemed like it doubled in price every damn week. One particular week I think it was Tom's Hardware that was blaming the price hikes on storms or earthquakes or some such nonsense..so much for that.
    It was nothing but a bunch of greedy monopolistic bastards; kinda like big oil... ooops....

    damn light pollution! Looks like a good excuse for a road trip.

  7. OBD-II on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    and the newer CAN protocol diagnostic trouble codes are all the "trouble shooting" it can give you. OnStar is tied into the cars PCM. Warning lights ie.. ABS inop, low oil, CEL.. etc are triggered by sensors tied to the pcm also.

    It can't tell you "hey loyal customer your axle is about to snap!" But they will be able to tell you why your check engine light is on.
    Don't you guys remember the FBI snooping on people using this "helpful" system.

    As someone who has worked in a Cadillac-Buick dealership I can tell you "MOST" gm products are the same.
    Look in any professional service manual, you won't find Buick, Olds etc; you'll find "j body" "b body" "F body" and so on.
    The difference is in trim packages.

  15. Re:Mine is about what is expected on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1
    I wasn't trying to attack you. I know that if you go over the manufacturer's recommended pressure by too much you will have a slick in no time flat.:-)

    If the tire tread is more worn in the middle than on the edges, the tire is overinflated. If the tire treads in the middle are less worn than on the edge, there's not enough air in the tires. 17" tires are expensive! I try to keep em' rolling for more than a year.

  16. Re:Mine is about what is expected on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1
    Read this and this

    "The pressure listed on the tire sidewall is the maximum tire pressure - or the tire pressure that is required to carry the maximum load of the tire. It is not the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, which is a common misperception."

  17. Re:Mine is about what is expected on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1
    This does bring up a question though: should tires be inflated to their stated maximum, or below that? If so, how far?


    Look in the door jam, glove box or on the back of one of the sun visors for the manufacturers' recommended tire pressure. Usually around 30-34 psi. Don't go by "max pressure" on the sidewall of the tire.
