The weather men here (Starkville, MS, where I am for college) have been calling for 3-8" worth of snow. Wal-Mart is cleared out of bread and milk (of course) and the college kids stocked up on booze (I'm kinda shmammered as I type this). Its calling for a low of 8 degrees tonight.... That just doesn't happen in Mississippi. We have a wet, humid kind of cold which is bad.

 

Whats the weather man calling for snow in other areas of the south?

3-4" of snow in Mid-TN, and the Grocery Stores in Dickson were COMPLETE ZOOS! its like if there is even a PASSING MENTION of Snow in the Forecast, They Panic, Stock up on Milk, Bread, Beer, and Gas, then forget how to drive PROPERLY when the Snow DOES Hit!

Same here in north louisiana, calling for a couple of inches, so everybody RUSHED to the stores and cleaned out all of the bottle water and stuff in a panic.. It's pretty sad really, the forecast is today 30's chance of ice/snow, tomorrow will be clear.. Right now its just raining, so I would be surprised if it snowed at all, and if it actually stuck.

I had to wait in line for 30min yesterday because of these panictards, just for some Tylenol for my sick daughter.

Same here in South Carolina. We are heading to the grocery store after church. Not worried so much about the snow as I am about the ice and lack of preparedness that happens when it snows here. Esp. with the roads and the SCDOT. We don't spread salt when it snows...we spread sand. Amazing.

I find it funny how people get all up in arms about a little bit of snow. You'd think it's a state of emergency the way people go and by water/food and other supplies. :(

You wouldn't be saying that if you had to go a week without any running water, electricity, or heat. SC got hit with a really bad ice storm a couple years ago and it really messed everything up.

In parts of TX today and tomorrow they are calling for a CHANCE of snow. The low is 29 for the next two nights and the highs are in upper 30's lower 40's. Its been the same around here at grocery stores. People are stupid. The temp has to be below 30 for a while before the snow here will even stick. the worst will be ice and there will be wrecks EVERYWHERE because people in general are dumber than cows :(

i wish i had snow, we have about 8''s in the field. i can't believe everybody rushes to the store for food in 3-8'' of snow. thats nothing if it snows all night it may snow a 12'' and people don't even rush to the stores for food. thats when i go out. i love driving though town in 12'' of snow. i usually always get some sweet money out of it too, pulling all the cars to there houses.

Usually the only thing the stores run out of up here is road salt and snow shovels.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
