  1. I asked that. They said the loaner rules require them to have the parts to do the repair. Probably going to call corporate and see what they say. Also for the added wild card enjoyment. The dealer uses RX350's for loaners and a large number of them are not available due to a recall for rear camera.
  2. Seem to be the poster child for weird problems on my 2024 RX350. last year needed a new drivers window since a 6 inch scratch magically appeared on the inside of the old one. Glass is not easy to scratch and they found nothing inside the door. I change my own oil but for 55 bucks they will rotate the tires at 20K. Great price for me to avoid doing it. While waiting get a text and video from technician. CV boot has exploded. It is torn all 360 degrees. These thing are supposed to last 10 years. Service manager is like - never seen that on a new vehicle. Replacing entire CV joint under warranty except the part is unavailable right now. Maybe in 2-3 weeks. Since it had not slung too much grease out I wrapped the tear in duct tape and will drive it until parts come in or destruction of CV joint.
  3. I was wondering the same.
  4. Not quite. The famous Auburn/ Miss State 3-2 game from 2008 set it back to around 1900
  5. This is correct. You need to enjoy pain for the last 15 years or so. Every few years they come thru and you have hope then someone pounds your big toe with a hammer again
  6. Vintage Le Menu microwave dinner plates. These are from early microwave dinners and almost indestructable. Mom gave me a dozen or so years ago. Work perfectly for anything i don't need a "real" plate for. Breakfast pastry etc. Can still microwave them today
  7. In the 90's you were not allowed to buy cold beer in Starkville. Only room temp. I guess they finally figured out that college students knew that refrigerators existed.
  8. Be glad they didn't settle on vuvuzelas
  9. Good point. I only saw the original so that was my reference
  10. Back in the 80's Pat Dye commented on playing Alabama. If it's 4 and 1 you better get 3 yards
  11. No - he drilled Ray Nitschke who was playing a LB. Twice
  12. Ha.. My old british MGA has a crank just in case you do that. Last car I know of that allows that. Now getting to actually work in dead of winter is a different issue.
  13. Not a fan of black - too hard to keep clean.
  14. Can't remember all the details but there was a story about him and Newman when Newman died. They were friends off camera and Redford got tired of Newman always talking auto racing so he found an old wrecked Porsche and had it delivered to Paul's house with no explanation. Later Newman returned it as some sort of a lump of car. Redford had it made into a lawn ornament and sent it back
  15. Was going to post this. Excellent choice.
  16. One other item just hit me. There really isn't anything like a current back cover. That cover is on a spring and you can reach right into the works. Nothing screwed down and no gasket. Nothing to keep dust, moisture etc out. Granted it has been in a drawer but I am amazed that a 125 year old watch could still run after winding.
  17. And this is just darn interesting. Next month Huntsville has an event called Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll where over 70 of us play various people buried in the cemetery. I am playing the former head of Studebaker and building an early 1920's outfit. I decided I needed a pocket watch. For some reason I have my Dad's old jewelry box which has items from his dad. I found the Longines below. All it needed was a new crystal. It still ran and kept time. The serial number is from late 1890's so 125 year old. My real question that can't be answered is why it was there. Dad never wore it and my Mom made a shadow box years ago with a pocket watch from my grandfather. Also my grandfather probably would not have paid the price for a Longines. My only theory is that Dad acquired it because he played the same person in the stroll 20 years ago.
  18. Seems like the current trend here..
  19. I did yesterday. With everything being rebuilt (engine, transmission, suspension) it is literally a "brand new" 63 year old sports car. Forgot that you can drive fast with top down when you have 105 HP pushing only 2000 pounds. Which is why the first Miata used the MGA as a model. As far as avoiding police - I have a "friendly" speedometer. We did not rebuild it and it seems to think 55 is 45.
  20. I hate to wonder what you were doing. The car only had about 100 hp.
  21. And it's home!! Scariest part was after. It was a full enclosed semi truck carrier and they backed it all the way down the road and then into a 4 lane road. he said there was no way to turn around.
  22. Getting real close. Loading in transport yesterday. Should be here before dinner today
  23. First time you try it - put some tape on the surrounding area. Not difficult but you don't want a "learning" scratch. Really liked my classic sub with the holes for the pins versus non hole models
  24. Camera reminds me of what people always seems to have handy when Sasquatch shows up
  25. Unfortunately you are off by a year on the chase. This game was in 1983 at Auburn. The chase was 84 in Austin. Sorry to be "that expert guy" but 1983 and Auburn still makes me ragey. Claiming it 40 years later is not what I would have chosen but, based on the current landscape - I will take it. I feel sorry for some of the 83 team that have passed on and never got this - Kevin Greene comes to mind
