Similar thing happened to me recently. They stole an iPod and my book that had my registration and insurance information. They left my stereo system, my sub and amp, as well as a very expensive tripod. No damage to the car, they obviously knew how to break in and I know the car was locked. I'm...

looks like i am gonna have to hit up super burrito in se portland/milwaukie this weekend since i need a little more than an hour to get there and back from work. mmmmmmm. good thing i am heading out for lunch in a few. a sudden strike of hunger has come over me. :D

So, the PATS transceiver went dead in the car. After the tow, the diagnostics, the parts and labor, etc, I paid just under $400 for everything unless you round up to the nearest dollar. :rlaugh::( :nonono:

The problem is that I have no tools or anything and I have no idea what to look for or what to do. I don't know jack about cars at all. This has just come at a horrible time because I just spent around $2,000 to move into a new place. I really wish I could put my head through the wall. This...

Problem is that I only received one key when I bought the car and the materials I read instruct that two keys will be needed or the car will have to be taken to the dealer. I am gonna give it a try just to be safe but I have a feeling I will be spending some money. :(

I plan on doing that once I get home from work to see what happens. :nice:

OK, so I think I have it figured it out. I think it has to do with the PATS. I noticed that when trying to start my car the theft light blinks like a bat out of hell. After searching around on google it seems that it's the PATS going buggy on me. Not really stoked on having to pay for towing my...

I have thought about that and will fuss with it when I get home from work. The car is a 2002. IIRC, I have to access the switch from behind the molding in the trunk correct? I wish I could better describe what is happening to the car. I am not sure what would cause the fuel pump to get killed...

The car has enough juice from the battery and tries to start. It is a healthy sounding crank from as far as I can tell, but it just never turns over like there is no spark or no fuel to get it to jump on. I am trying to figure out if it could be the starter or a fuel pump. I just need to get it...

Got up for work this morning and went to start the car, nothing. Just cranks and cranks and cranks like it is not getting spark or fuel. Being that I know nothing about cars, I am clueless. I have no idea what the problem is so I am curious if anyone here might have any ideas. I suspect it is...

I show up once in a while to watch, never to race. Car is too slow, lol. I am usually there with the camera practicing my panning abilities. :p

I'd check into Toyota. They seem to be doing pretty good with their trucks/SUVs lately. I tested one of the new Tundras with the 5.7L V8 and it was pretty peppy. 381HP/401TQ, 4V DOHC engine with VVT-i, etc... The Toyota FJ Cruiser looks pretty nice but it's too heavy for the power it makes with...

besides a clay bar, what is the best way to remove dead bugs from a car? i have heard using a damp dryer sheet works but i would think that with the texture of one that it would be a little abrasive on the paint? any tips or tricks? :nice:

I'd rather see the whole car done in the chrome, unless it happened to be driving towards me reflecting the sun in my eyes.

yes, i have one. see if you can find me! :D

here's a hint to help if you are using photoshop... you can open the hue and saturation tool (ctrl+u) and use the eye dropper to select the color of the car and then adjust the hue of only that color. that way, the color for the rest of the photo doesn't shift unless the color is present in...

nice thing about this, is that they can dictate who can be in the parking lot and who can't. definitely a nice alternative to SB, across the street, and a little more hidden. across from the cops, a good deterrent for idiots that ruin it for others. once my weekends free up with other crap i...

What do you say to tying these people to a tree and throwing hammers at their faces? :nice:

Not to mention that I am a big Italian. People are dicks man. Take me for example... I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and ripped off my god damn passenger side mirror. :nonono: Self ownage is the worst because you end up having to pay for it. Insurance fraud FTL. I hope you get...

Perhaps just a bit. You still have a LITTLE bit of hair left. :p
