  1. One people
  2. Just have them order it. They'll either store to store them or order them from the warehouse, in your case probably Lehigh Valley. Or wait until truck day.
  3. But they last a while. Worthwhile investment.
  4. I know LH owns with Icons that have lasted them 2 years. I don't know about Latitudes or Repels. We just bout Latitudes for the Grand Marquis so we'll see which is better over the long haul, but they both are far superior to any framed wipers I have ever used. I prefer the Icons because they are sleeker and look nice on my sleek car. Repels are a new Rain-X beam style wiper which comes with Rain-X treatment. They are a little more expensive. They are not part of the buy 1 get 1 50% off deal. They are on sale for buy 2 get $5 off, but as you can imagine that's nowhere near as good of a deal.
  5. Never cared for the P-47. A capable plane to be sure but not a pretty one. The P-51 is my favorite fighter (and my favorite plane along with the B-17), followed by the P-38. And now for some pr0n:

  7. That sounds more like the B-24 Liberator or the B-26 Marauder. Both planes were difficult to fly. In fact I bet it was the B-26. That's why it was nicknamed the Widow Maker. A very difficult plane to fly, a lot of accidents early in its life, but it also had the lowest combat losses of an US aircraft during the war.
  8. There was an engine fire on board the only prototype. Crew bailed out, plane was destroyed.
  9. I also have a soft spot for the B-26 Marauder. Oh and I love the XB-38. Pity the only one in existence was destroyed.
  10. Just don't ever plan to drive the leaf more than 100 miles.
  11. Yes, I know my planes.
  12. This is where you guys get schooled. loki is referring to the F-82 Twin Mustang, which, like all Mustangs, was built by North American Aviation. It was the last piston engined fighter to be ordered into production by the USAF. It didn't serve in WWII but it did serve in the Korean War and a night fighter, replacing the P-61 Black Widow. The P-38 Lightning is a completely different plane build by Lockeed.
  13. Either: P-51A and P-51D Mustang or B-17B/C/D, B-17E, and B-17G Fly Fortress. Did you know that The Swoose (40-3097) is the only shark tail B-17 known to exist? I can't believe they have only just now gotten around to restoring the only B-17 of its type left in existence. On a related note, it's nice that Swap Ghost (B-17E, 41-2446 one of only four E's to be recovered) has finally returned home from Papa New Guinea for restoration in the US.
  14. Thanks! I can't wait until the paint is done curing so I can get these guys on.
  15. Well here they are withe the tape off.
  16. Congrats on the new ride dude. When are you gonna get rid of the Jetta's hulk?
  17. Try Rain-X Latitudes (also on buy one get one 50% off) or Rain-X Repels. They aren't as sleek as the Icons but they come with a variety of adapters to allow them to fit most cars...even the newer style ones like what G6's use. Can't guarantee it, but they are worth looking into. Just bought a set for the Grand marquis since Icons don't fit. Seem to work well.
  18. It ran me around $35 for the pair (buy one get one 50% off FTW).
  19. Thanks! For whoever does this or any sort of headlight restoration: make sure you put something back on the lens to protect it. You've taken off the UV protective coating and now you need to put something back on so it doesn't yellow quickly. I went with 3 M Scotchguard. High-temp clear coat is another idea.
  20. You are correct sir, newer transmissions do learn driving styles via the TCU/PCM.
  21. Brake time! Now I wait 7 days for the paint to cure, then they finally will go on the car.
  22. Uh dude, most vehicles don't have dedicated gauges for that stuff anymore besides trucks. Instead you'll fine all that info in a driver information center, which will either be its own dictated screen or part of one of the gauges.
  23. Lose the fart can and its fine.
  24. See reg, I told you they were working on it.
  25. Never really thought of it like that. It just doesn't look like a fan to me...since minvians/MPVs tend to have more sloping noses and sliding doors. But it does have packaging like a minivan. So whatever your fancy. IIRC the Journey has been a good seller for Dodge, so I think these worthwhile improvements will really help increase sales.
