    Mac Geeks

    Last night I downloaded a movie from itunes. For some reason it downloaded like shit and kept stopping. Finally when it was done, it said the download was not complete and it might contain corrupt files. I played the movie anyway and it seemed to work fine. So here's the problem, the movie...

    New Rovers in Seattle

    I've been wanting and needing to move out west for some time now and Seattle just became the place. I have my D2 in Magnolia with me now and in a few weeks I'll fly back for the D1.

    Overheating, blown head gaskets, slipped liners

    The next time someone says their truck is having a problem with one of these the first thing you should look for is how much caked on mud is on your engine and in your radiator. This is the second truck I've bought for next to nothing because of a blown head gasket. The truck i'm working on...

    WTT D2 headlights for D1 headlights

    I have a pair of perfect condition d2 headlights with bulbs that i'll trade for perfect condition headlights with bulbs. If you have a set you'd like to trade just make sure they're in perfect condition (no cracks, plastic tabs still good, etc.). I just prefer the look of d1 headlights without...

    Disco 2 no fuel pressure

    So I picked up a disco 2 this fall with a possible slipped liner. It ran but would overheat. I pulled it over to the garage one day and when i went to start it up again it wouldn't start. It was extremely low on gas so i figured i ran out and put a few gallons in it. Still wouldn't start...

    Anybody familiar with 62 Corvettes?

    I tried a corvette forum but thought I'd give you guys a shot too. I think the ignition switch is fried on my dad's 62 vette and took out the coil and battery. Does anybody have any idea how to get the damn switch out?
