What is bad about them? I don't doubt you. It's a Chevy after all. I use to own a cobalt so I'm fully aware of the heat shield rivets rusting after 3 days and the really crappy auto stop function when the brake is pressed at a standstill. As long as the engine doesn't grenade itself and it can absorb a pothole without trying to murder me. That's all I need. And it's only 7k with 57k on the odo. Haha.

:hello:
A buddy of mine is bringing over his f150 this morning and we're going to change out his serpentine belt, ideler pulley and install some H.I.D. bulbs for his trip out to Kansas to pheasant hunt. Then work on some fire wood and if I'm real ambitious go get a hair cut and beard trim..... the other day the guy at the car wash called me Mr. Clause :icon14: :rofl2:

I have worked on quiet a few of them.Both the NA and the turbo versions have problems with the intake manifold and valve covers leaking vacuum and causing all sorts of drive ability and oil consumption problems.There is a laundry list of TSBs on them.:shakes head:

Hey, just curious... in your opinion, which brand(s) do you feel have the fewest problems?

You might have to cut the bottom of the last 2 rafters off. I can't tell if it's camera angle or if they are way out of plane. May need a little butchery with a sawzall to clean out the corner.

To get a backer in the corner of the flat just cut a 45* on a 2x2 or flat 2x4 and run it from the ceiling joist into the hip at the point the flat part planes through. Might need to do one both ways. Don't worry about it being right at the end of the sheet. It can be back a couple inches if need be to make it fit.

If you do have to hack some off the bottom of those last jack rafters put a nailer on the side of the rafter on plane with the others before cutting off the bottom. This lets you use the nailer as a guide and will look a little less butchered.

The wifey bought a couple containers of Mexican style Ramon noddles the other day. So I decided to have one for lunch when I got home from work. :yum:

OH MY F@#KING GOD!!! :eek:

An hour later. My lips, tongue, the back of my throat is still burning. My forehead is still sweating. My nose is running.

I even tried to tone it down with some sugar. Ate with a half of loaf of bread too. No luck. Think it was pure curry with ghost peppers or something. I'm dreading about going to the pooper later. :eek:

But it had good flavor to it. :yum:

This is what EW needs to fix himself. :tup:

Damn, I'm in Spokane today. I could have had the company ship my 18" base wheels with Blizzaks to here and you could have come picked them up.... :shakes head::shakes head:

Yes, I know that Oregon isn't Washington, but surely you are close...:bowrofl::bowrofl:

You are quite wise.

The prior owner was a strange, strange man. The house, which he also built, is made almost entirely of rebarred concrete block. Not many windows pre-rehab. And there was a "picture window" out front that looked suspiciously like a firing port, with excellent lines of sight to each end of the street...

I guess he took "a man's home is his castle" to include defending that castle from the Soviets.

You! Milk binds capsaicin in hot food.

EW is lactose-intolerant but won't admit it. So milk will kill him.

Since I haven't gotten my car back yet could someone look at their climate controls and tell me it the red dots on the silver dials of each knob actually light up with the lights on or just the black faces?
