SAAC Forum

It's working normally for me also. My bookmark is to the main page https://saacforum.com and my browser remembers which of the sections I've expanded (or hidden). At the right side of each section title are links to Unread Posts and a + or - sign that will expand or hide that section.


Go to the page/view where you want to start and bookmark that page (or change your current bookmark to that URL). I hopes this helps.

Again the question is would YOU sell below market because the buyer was on the saac forum..

Not generally. But if it was a SAAC member in South Florida I might triple the price.

If it's health at issue, I would drag myself to the garage and die in the driver's seat. Much like elephants have their own dying field.

Maybe that's what this guy was doing???


You bring up a good point Richard - how would the price of the car be affected if you knew that the owner died in it? Or was "buried" in it? I've heard tell that some car buyers found cremains in the vehicle!

I don't believe this device would be effective for theft recovery. Per Apple:


"AirTag is designed to discourage unwanted tracking. If someone else's AirTag finds its way into your stuff, your iPhone will notice it's traveling with you and send you an alert. After a while, if you still haven't found it, the AirTag will start playing a sound to let you know it's there.
[/color]Of course, if you happen to be with a friend who has an AirTag, or on a train with a whole bunch of people with AirTag, don't worry. These alerts are triggered only when an AirTag is separated from its owner."
Imagine you are the thief and you have an iPhone with AirTag tracking "turned on". As you speed away with your new acquisition your iPhone alerts you that someone else's AirTag is travelling with you and is separated from the iPhone it was paired with. So you pull over and begin searching the car. Eventually the AirTag starts beeping and you find it. Then you chuck it in the nearest trash can (or another vehicle) and take off secure in the knowledge that the owner can't track you any longer.

My folks owned a 1970 Country Sedan that looked just like this one. That is the car that I took my driver's test in. During a blizzard in Central NY. Doing a three point turn on a back street in Fulton with snowbanks on either side was challenging!

Fast forward a couple years and as I was leaving the McDonald's where I worked I wanted to show off for a buddy. I backed the car up, put her in neutral while it was still rolling backwards, nailed the gas and dropped it in drive. I laid down about 6" of rubber before the u-joint broke. A lady customer, trying to be helpful, looked under the car and said - "The same thing happened to me. All you need to do is get a coat hanger and tie it up!" Umm, no lady. That ain't gonna work this time. Fortunately the McDonald's was only about 200 yards from the K-Mart Automotive where dad had just gotten the u-joints replaced, so me and my friend pushed it over there. Dad gave them hell for using low quality cheap u-joints and had them replace it for free. The mechanic told him that he had only seen that happen before with drag racers. When dad came home with the car he asked me if I had been drag racing. No, technically I wasn't drag racing! I never did tell him what really happened although I think he had a pretty good idea. Fun times!

She served our family well until she rusted out. We were on our way back from a camping trip a few years later towing a pop-up camper when all of a sudden we heard a terrible scraping sound. The trailer hitch had rusted loose from under the bumper and was only held on by the two forward bolts through the (rusty) frame. We were still 50 miles from home so my dad dug out a length of nylon rope from the camper, jacked the tongue of the trailer back up and proceeded to lash the hitch to the luggage rack. We made it home no problem.

One other memory; after purchasing the car (new) my parents took it back several times for a weird "humming" noise that occurred at speed. The dealer never could figure it out. Dad finally figured out that it was the hollow tubes of the luggage rack that was making the noise. So one Saturday I helped him take it apart, plug the end of each tube with duct-seal compound and fill them up with sand. Worked like a charm!

It's number 3933. Apparently the only one with mascara?

My bet is the starter. Maybe you should sacrifice some fire water for the Mohegans?

I'm still pretty happy with the Blink cameras. I did add one of the current two-way audio models and it works better than I thought it would. Battery life has been 12+ months and the lithium AA batteries aren't terribly expensive. The free storage is way more than I need for two weeks worth of recording (6 cameras). Because they can be easily disabled (or stolen) I have them arranged so that every camera is watched by at least one other camera, so if someone were to try and disable one I would have video of it.

The negatives are false triggers of the motion sensors by frogs, insects and wind. Frogs love to sit on them. The other issue that I have is my Internet connection - crappy DSL (500K upload/5Mb download max). The upload limitation causes a bit of delay from alarm event to notification of my phone (30-60 seconds usually). But someone causing trouble isn't going to be gone in under 60 seconds (that only happens in the movies!). ~Kevin

Feral cat. And don't feed it.

If you don't want to do that, snap traps baited with peanut butter work pretty well as others have said.

^Nice car and beautiful car bar!

Nice article about driving vintage performance vehicles featuring a 1967 Shelby GT500 owned by Phil Bell.

Money quote: "You have to have a much higher level of respect for the car," he said, "because the car doesn't have anything to save you. There is no nanny system. It is just you and your steering wheel and your right foot and the road."

Great to hear your story and welcome to the club! Very cool car!

This is such a common question on this forum and it has been repeated so many times my suggestion is that there should be a "sticky" section where previous threads are readily available and plain to see and find.

I can think of at least three previous discussions that I can't even find with a key word search? I think that needs to be dealt with technically here if possible?

So there are two headings to start with, tires, clutches. Maybe Cobra fender shapes (with pictures) to save Ned from repeating?

Agreed! For whatever reason, the Search function on the forum leaves a lot to be desired. I've tried searching numerous times and most of the time I give up before ever finding what it is that I was looking for.

QuoteYou must have taken crazy uncle Joe's advice.

Whoa! I didn't say anything about sniffing hair or firing two shots out of your double barrel shotgun outside (leaving you unarmed) or shooting someone in the leg. Every situation is different and there are a variety of opinions regarding self defense weapons and tactics - even among professionals. Richard (and others) are probably getting a lot out of this pharmacy discussion of firearms. I'm sure that he'll inform himself and make his choices accordingly. ~Kevin
