Think Mom's Mercury Milan needs a new transaxle. You can hear it down the street lol. I told her to get a Camry

What would be the best way to mount led fluorescent 4 ft lights to wooden beams without any mounting holes in the back of the lights? Apparently the chinese have never heard of cutting freaking holes in the backs to mount stuff.

Gorilla glue? Special adhesive tape? Hot snot?

If the metal is thin enough, I'd try the self-drilling screws that are used to install metal roofs.

Thinking about just wrapping gaf tape around the ends to the beam and calling it a day. They're so bright that people won't be looking up much anyways.

negative. I wouldn't even bother until early Feb next year. Sony loves to screw fans out of launch parties every time.

you probably wont see one til march next year if you didnt preorder.

they estimated they could get 12 million made by march......then just the other day cut that estimate by 4 million.

they are having issues getting certain chips and also the custom panels and designs are causing delays.

now xbox being a legit simple rectangle seems to be paying off lol

yea 314 avg.

first run was only 301 then the return trip was 331 and it was pulling hard still.

driver let off due to high cross winds.

tires were tested to triple the load the were going at and the car probably has 350mph in it.

i watched the video and it was pulled good at 331 not like the others ive seen where its slow tick tick tick at the end of the runs.

Looking at the video, he had some reserve RPM left as well. Hell, it shifted into 7th at 240mph.
