    Chevy HHR panel, what do you think ?

    Had an '03 PT Cruiser (wife car) which had too many mechanical problems and could not be towed behind our motorhome with out evpensive modifications to driveline. Wife and I liked the look of the HHR, similar in size, which can be towed 4-down without mods. Test drove one for two days...

Took the switch for the trunk release out of the glove box and the solenoid from the trunk latch. Hardest part was getting access to the...

    OT: Standing Up For What's Right - Against Circuit City and the local Police

    TJR, in your scenario it sounds like you willing gave your information, so no, the officer had no reason to ask you for proof. As a witness or a complainant, depending on the type or seriousness of the crime you could be required to provide proof. In Righi's situation, the officer had...

    OT: Standing Up For What's Right - Against Circuit City and the local Police

    TJR, Your right, an officer must have a "lawful" reason to ask for proof of indentification. If your were walking down the street and an officer pulls up and starts talking with you and is not asking you about a specific offense and asks for your name and you don't want to give it, you...

    OT: Standing Up For What's Right - Against Circuit City and the local Police

    No Rich, I cannot condone the officers actions. I think he exercised extremely poor judgement and handled the situation very poorly, along with everyone else in this incident. It may very well have been a POP (pissed off police) arrest, which under the circumstances with the charge the officer...

    OT: Standing Up For What's Right - Against Circuit City and the local Police

    Wow, this thread has taken on a life of it's own. To Rich Stern, TJR and others I still maintain this situation was handled badly by all parties involved and they all bear some of the responsibility for what occured. In my original post I was mearly pointing out that under some circumstances a...

    OT: Standing Up For What's Right - Against Circuit City and the local Police

    I've been in law enforcement for 30 yearst's amazing to me how many people "know" the law when they really don't. Several posts on this subject bring up some good points about our freedoms and liberty's and rights, but without both sides of the story it's hard to say who's right or wrong...

    OT: Nike to drop Michael Vick

    Guys, everyone has their own opinions on this subject, which luckily in America everyone is entitled too. But the simple truth about Michael Vick is he does deserve jail time. He willingly chose to participate in an activitiy that he new was illegal. It doesn't matter how heinous we think the...

    Newsweek article on Global Warming "Denial"

    I don't often get envolved in these tyoe discussions and I never have before on this board. Heck, I haven't even posted much on this board. But having read all the posts on this topic and part of the Newsweek article, I discovered I have some strong thoughts about Bill V's question. The...

    VR-3 rearview camera

    trini 1969, I wish I could aford the Pioneer also. I have a back up camera in my motorhome and leave it on all the time. Use it like a rearview mirror. I had the VR-3 hooked up in wife's PT Cruiser. Never had the interefence problem Rick Owen had when backing up. Just when the unit got...

    VR-3 rearview camera

    I have one of these and it's very cheaply made. I was disappointed with the quailty. You do not want to wire it up where it's on all the time. The camera will over heat. When it gets hot it distorts the picture sent to the monitor. If left on continually the camera will burn out. I tried...

    Towing the ST

    Matt, DaleM is right. If yours is a 4x4 get the Ford Neutral kit. It's about $115.00 from your Ford dealer. You can tow yours four down without a dolly with this kit. It allows you to put your transfer case in neutral and your transmission in park. I tow my 05 4x2 four down without any...

    Splash Guards

    :oI just spent the afternoon installing splash guards on the wife's Saturn Vue and my ST. I couldn't believe how easy it was to install the guards on the ST. It took about thirty minutes for all four. I'm new to the board and ST ownership. Reading the posts the last couple of weeks about all...
