Well I placed an order for different speakers a little over an hour ago. They are already shipped and the company sent me a tracking number. I guess some company's just do business well and some don't give two ****s.

I ordered my tires on a Monday morning and they shipped within an hour from their warehouse and arrived like 3 days later.

It was great. Discounttiredirect

yea I've never had an experience like this before, but have been hearing about it more and more. I care more about customer service then i do about price.

The M3 seems to be alive! I'll be test driving it tomorrow morning when I'm not so tired if it breaks because I messed something up.

When I went I spent about $3K in food and booze. That was some crazy 4 days! I spent $40 on video poker the ENTIRE week (even though I played it for hours and won repeatedly and dumped the winnings back in).

Tire rack is even better because their warehouse is in NJ so you can order late in the day and they will get to you by morning. That's pretty cool.

My dad is selling his '69 Camaro. Some guy from Idaho is going to check it out March 24th supposedly. I can't believe my dad is getting rid of it after all the money he spent, but then again, he never did race much with it.

Was a complete drag car. Had a ZZ572 crate, with Powerglide. Ran alcohol. Bought it as rolling chassis and dumped a lot of money into more chassis work and all sorts of other things.

Car ran 8.80s off the footbrake.

Damn, impressive. I'm more of the kind of person that would want one that has more of the classic muscle car look.

I don't feel like making a thread, but do you guys know if it is normal for a GM fuel pump to be loud? I can hear mine clear as day over the motor idling.

in my research of woodworking... i think i'm leaning towards hand tools. i can fill a shop for a little under my 2k budget w/ hand tools of great quality. still need to run electric out there for more lighting, maybe install a couple windows in the garage for some natural light.

still researching as i wait for my tax refund to hit.

None of mine were ever loud. I'd check your fuel filter first. A clogged/old filter could cause the pump to work overtime.

Yeah, happened in my truck when I had it. Fuel filter was clogged, so I just went to buy a new one, hoping that it would fix the issue, and luckily it did. If it didn't, wasn't looking forward to dropping the fuel tank lol.

my jeeps would hum quite loudly once warm. i was told that it was normal and could last years that way. I swapped it out and it's been fine.

I've watched a lot of Holmes on Homes and I've learned that everyone hangs an orange electrical cord in the air from house to shed/garage and staples it to the wall. Then runs a 20+ amp welder through it.

I can't *believe* some of the **** I've seen on that show. I thought *I* was an amateur.

Mine sounded like an electric razor in a tin can... the new one I got is quiet, but it's getting louder, I really hope it's not on it's way out again...

Mine was loud no matter what I did. I found out it was actually pumping at around 1/2 it's volume, because the internals were shot. Although, nearly 100K miles would do that lol.
