Right now, the amount of products that used to be made in US are taking a further (HUGE) dive from where they were pre-pandemic.
When carbon steel went from $.39 to $.60 a LB, it negated any tariff in place to ward off pre-finished...
Sorry, with all due respect. All this talk of inflation being transient and 2-7% is a joke.
I run a business that manufactures steel framing and components. Steel was $.38 lb in March 2020. It is now $1.20 lb. Wood, plastics, resins, transportation, etc and many other costs have EXPLODED...
So Will (1 old racer) That looks like the ticket to me.
I cannot really tell from the photo but that ramp set is wood correct?
I think I am going to try to replicate what you have there. Really nice job.
I really like the fact that you can just leave everything in place.
I do not have jacking...
Looking at a Quick Jack and need advice
For lifting the 2017 GT350 and poss, my wife’s Tesla model X, and a Canyon or 1500 size pickup.
I think the Canyon curb weight is 6000 lbs.
I called BendPak and they said for the Shelby they rec BL5000 SLX
But they show a recent mustang on a BL5000EXT...
So I picked up one of these Craftsman V20 portable inflators. I works off off battery, cig lighter, or 110 outlet. The plastic and switches feel a little cheap, but I tried it out and it tops car tires pretty quickly. Today I got four truck tires (for 1500 size pickup) on rims that had been in...

That thing is def cool.
Looks like it also works as a pinpoint blower which would help w motorcycle washing as well. I will pick one of these up for now.
I am still confused about the cordless impact gun.
IF I use a...
Oh great, can you tell me make model? Can you set torque value? I would assume yes but I have not seen a tool like that.
Also I won’t do a lot of painting, just maybe a pc of furniture or two, here and there. Just home use.
I would appreciate if someone could steer me in the right dir. I am building a house in NC and will be really far from any gas stations. I want a compressor for the garage, I want to be able to:
Run an impact wrench to RM lugnuts / wheels
Keep tires inflated
Run sanders, maybe paint guns...
The pass side on mine never has any oil. The other one will collect oil, poss depending on how long it runs at high revs. I think most blow by is at high revs. It’s good to get that oil out or it would normally be fed back in for combustion, which is not.
Also, if you tried to force it on and...
I appreciate the field work to put my mind at ease.
I guess it is a rev match or at least a stagger for a second before the revs drop in a linear way.
I took a phone video but I think you guys are describing exactly what I am seeing so all good.
For the life of me I don't remember it doing that...
Sorry - I missed ckg this post for the past day or so.
I appreciate the input.
As for the hypothesis that it is a "rev matching feature", that would explain it, but I swear I do not remember it doing that last season.
However, I have trouble remembering a lot of things LOL.
I will try to make...
Not sure if that would have anything to do with this issue.
I was not using cruise control at all. ( I don't think I ever have )
It's just this weird hang up or "pause" for a second when you press the clutch in.
Usually the revs will lust drop down without a pause, now its lie they drop off of...
I have a 2017 MY purch Aug 2016, with about 7500 miles.
So far so good, one AC repair, some other minor stuff.
I noticed something this year on my second drive after winter storage.
I drove about 160 miles this weekend, up and down the parkway to the shore.
On the way down I "thought" I...
2017 Track Pack
So I am at about 6500 miles.
Had Oil Line recall Change.
AC Started blowing hot air.
dealer took it in 48 hrs later explanation was "blown clutch"
in compressor I guess. was basically stuck in position.
From invoice...
LOL agreed.
I am sure it goes without saying, in the Aston Martin dash you get a 3D animated technician in white gloves politely requesting that you check your oil level.
I think a lot of the GT350 engine failures are due to running really hard, and not pulling out that dip stick on a reg basis...
