Wandering yet a little further off topic, many years ago three friends and I piled into a VW Bug owned by one of them for a trip to SoCal. Now, the guy who owned the Bug was not the most car-savvy t

Not true. There's definite limits on how many candelas headlights can throw down the road. If I had a few more minutes I'd go look it up. The problem is that the DOT has always been obsessed with th

I don't think it's likely to be a problem. BUT... If I owned a GM vehicle that was sold in any markets outside the US (notably the Corvette, and usually the trucks/SUVs) before I tried to do anythin

I've been told around here (San Mateo Co, CA) that the county limits them to taking - what? - 2 gallons per person per dropoff. That's basically one BMW V8 oil change. The recycling center in Belmon

I might use Sch40 PVC for a line I'd set up for temporary use, but not for anything I was going to leave in place for months or years. Sch80 PVC is a whole lot stronger, but more expensive than any

Yeah, it's very highly dependent on who's working that day, and how much else they've got going on. I ended up getting most of the gas pipe for our house at OSH. It was easier to have the guy inside
