Ouch, that makes me feel old. My best friend's dad traded in his 1956 Bel Air for a 1967 Firebird when they were first announced. I still remember that as a new car. At least he traded in the Chevy. Their other car was a 1963 Grand Prix with a Tri-Power 389. That was a gorgeous car. Jim

:iagree: Just go into it understanding that you are buying into a system, not just a camera. Once you start to acquire different lenses, you'll realize that it's the lenses that are your investment. As the camera technology improves, you can change the body, but you'll keep the lenses as...

I'm still using the original Rebel (6 megapixels) that I bought in 2003. Guess it's time to upgrade. Great camera Mike! Congratulations on the purchase. Jim

This photo brought a memory into my head. When I was growing up, my mother had a picture of my grandfather (her father), that was taken right in front of a lamp. Positioned perfectly. It was a browned out black and white photo. So, the whole time I was growing up, I thought my grandfather...

With all the sales at Autogeek, and all of the products to try out, how can you ever not have wax and sealant on the shelf :eek: Jim

That's what the rotisserie mounts are for. Bring the roof down to you, rather than you trying to get up to it.:wave: Jim (6'4") :dig:

Baby Oil will soak in and soften up hardened plastic, but it won't restore the color. When we redid my wife's Pathfinder, I used baby oil and then after it had soaked in for a few days I used a dye. Some of the pieces I replaced, rather than try to fix. It is 24 years old, after all. Rick at...

I looked at the Werner and Gorilla platforms. Decided that they weren't long enough to keep me from having to move the platform in order to reach the entire roof. Since I would have to move it anyway, I decided to go light weight. This is also from Gorilla. Rated to 300 pounds. Moves...

:wow:Yes, but is it "paint inspection" Isopropyl? j/k Jim

The Makita Drill and Driver kits come with batteries (either 1.8 or 3.0). If you need the other tools anyway, why not get them and just add the blower to the set? I have used a lot of battery powered tools in my life, and wasn't really happy with any of them. One of the guys who sometimes...

Oh, and once you have a customer coming back, give them some business cards and ask for referrals. Jim

Obviously, something doesn't compute :confused: Two areas to look at. 1. New customer acquisition - In this era of everything on the Internet, people think they just need a website or a facebook page. Guess what, these are just like having an entry in the white pages of the phone book or a...

It will completely dry the entire car. Works great on those hard to reach places that water seems to hide and drip from. With 2 batteries, you have plenty of juice to get everything dry. Which batteries to have depends on your access to an electrical outlet for the charger. The two battery...
