How Bad Have You Got It?

I just heard on Totally NSACR that a kid in Alabama had it so bad that he stole a credit card and bought over $3,000 dollars of NASCAR Memorabila over the phone.

 

The officer who arrested him said, "He wasn't on drugs or anything, he just really likes NSACAR."

I was reading in NASCAR Scene that people are writing in and complaining about the "how bad have you got it" spots. They say it makes NASCAR fans look like idiots. I think they're hilarious.

I think they're awesome.

 

I can't ever decide which is a favorite, but I think it's the older one with the guy spraying champange all over everybody at the Wedding Anniversary Party.

I like the guy that gets pulled over for speeding in a chevette, metro, festiva type car....then bribes the officer for a 180 or so MPH speeding ticket.

Those commercials are great.  And what is wrong with swerving around in slow traffic to clean-off your tires.  I see nothing wrong with it.   :D   :D

These commercials are the best!! :D I like the one where he cuts part of the volleyball tent and puts it up in his driver side window. The cleaning off your tires one is good also! :D  :D

My other favorites are:

 

when he drives around swerving through traffic while his kid video tapes it, then they watch it in fast forward

 

and

 

the newer one where he's jogging and he jumps out in front of a car so he can smell the skid mark the tires leave when they slam on the brakes.

 

:D  :D

They were thinking of me when they made that

one. :D

 

The first time I drove I accidentally popped the clutch and left a little mark, more like a dot of rubber (Now this is a 4 cylinder honda, remember). So I drove back around, stopped, and just starred at my marks. :D

    • Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?
    • Sounds about right. I miss the days of mechanics lol. 
    • On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
    • maybe get a service manual off ebay?  or check charm.li (website) or subscribe to alldata.com for it?
    • This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
