  1. Curved screens are a gimmick. Here's a hilarious video Vizio made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHjsKHKKnw0
  2. Funny, my buddy is a mechanic for the Coast Guard, he was the one that had the enjoyment of re-rigging all those boats! Nothing but headaches with the E-Tecs, especially when they tried to warranty all the blown powerheads. They finally told Evinrude to shove it and went to Yamaha.
  3. Sounds as simple as the process for our Lund was, good job! I bet you can't wait until the softwater season!
  4. There's a reason why the Canadian Coast Guard got rid of the E-Tecs..
  5. Ecodiesel 10,600lbs, F150 13,300lbs... when are you ever pulling close to 10,000lbs? I would guess, never. It's got a lot more with it being a half tonne chassis then it does the engine. Also, if you are pulling a trailer with that much weight, you're buying a Duramax, Cummins, Powerstroke.. Not a 1500 series truck.
  6. I'd probably find a close out Samsung 8500 series plasma and be happy for the next 4-5 years (If you can find a Panasonic VT/ZT even better!)
  7. I'd like to see him through the scope of my .270.
  8. Upscaling is garbage, doesn't matter how good the set is... SD is SD.
  9. The X5 is a BMW SUV that comes with a diesel, same with the Audi Q7 and the Audi Q5 I've been running diesel vehicles for about 15 years or so (All VW TDI's).. I have one, my parents do as well, as does my sister. I'm the resident family mechanic, lol! You really can't compare the old diesels with the ones you can buy today, way more power, a lot cleaner, etc. Sure they have their problems (Like all cars do) but for me at least the positives outweigh the negatives. My last TDi had 600,000kms on it before I retired it, my current wagon has close to 400,000kms with no signs of letting up yet. Keep your eye open for the new GMC Canyon in 2016 with the 2.8 Duramax, should be quite the truck!
  10. Good job man! Nice to see someone actually do some fishing here
  11. From what I've been hearing a decently equipped Ecodiesel is around the 43k mark.
  12. BillM

    Found One

    That's one pissed off bird.
  13. Terry, to the back of the room! lol!
  14. As long as the winds stay calm we'll be good.
  15. Was fishing Lake Gibson the day Leslie Mahaffy was found, not something I like to remember.
  16. It's completely different, I dunno how you're even comparing the two.
  17. Who thought building a hockey rink right besides the road was a good idea?
  18. That's an old floating Rapala.
  19. I can't stand the SportsNet announcers, just horrible. Lots and lots of chances tonight! Would have liked to see at least one point out of this game. Too many posts!
  20. Dude, it's dude, not doood.. LOL! It would be nice if the posts co-operated tonight!
  21. Darwin works in mysterious ways.
  22. Dude, seriously you try way TOO hard sometimes, lol.
  23. 1/40 @ 500mm hand held is an accomplishment, lol.
  24. They're ugly, and I like a full cork grip.
