She hit 100 km/h, we heard a "pop" not unlike when the turbo on my Ranger died, and then it started to rapidly shut down. We pulled off on the edge of the QEW in Oakville, shut down the engine, let it reboot for a few minutes, and then she tried again. The second time, we didn't even get 500m...

No, I kinda feel bad for the guy. I think that the service department is going to get an earful on Monday. We noticed that he didn't even offer to drive the thing back, so we think that he was just as shook up as my sister.

Took my sister around to dealerships to test drive new SUVs to replace her 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, which was totaled in an accident a couple of weeks ago. We were test-driving the 2026 Santa Fe on the highway when it just lost power; even the rep didn't know why. At the time, the car was in...

I second what @Nellieg said. There used to be a Cajun restaurant in town that I loved to go to, and would always have the gator bites as the appetizer dish. Sadly, that place closed after many years.

Yeah, back when I first went it was "Cowboys and Indians", and actually was that up until relatively recently; the first couple of times I took Thing 1, that was still happening, although I don't remember them giving us cap guns; of course, if you bring your own, you're welcome to join in. I...

If you're ever out in NC, check out Tweetsie Railroad; they've got a couple of narrow gauge loco's and have built a whole theme park around them. They've also got one of the few workshops that restores and maintains loco's of that vintage, and during their Railroad Heritage Weekend in August...

Thanks, fellas. Yes, we're very fortunate that no one got hurt, and I am rather proud of how Thing 1 handled herself. The day will come soon when it's time for her to fly the nest, so it's good to know that despite her fondness for being silly, she's got a solid head on her shoulders.

Having hijacked my own thread, I'll attempt to put it back on track. As noted, I didn't get a chance to try out the MF200 this weekend, but gave it a little bit of a trial run just now. This is the base of a spare monitor that I sometimes use for work, but usually sits on an MDF shelf, so the...

My intention had been to test it out a bit more over the weekend, but my mom and kid ended up getting rear-ended (twice!) as Car 2 in a four-car wreck, so plans took a bit of a turn. They were stopped behind Car 1 at a stoplight, when Car 3 rear-ended them, pushing them forward into Car 1. Car...

In response to That was one of the suggested uses, but I wouldn't do that with the "stock" round nozzle (the one that's attached during shipping). The airflow isn't directed enough for my taste, and I think that you would risk blowing embers in all directions. Having said that, I have not...

@Wolfbox asked that I repost this as a stand-alone thread, so I'll start by re-posting my original review: My Wolfbox MF200 arrived in the mail today. First impressions are solid. The packaging is well thought out and appears to provide ample protection, always a bonus with electronics...

@Dr. Zaius, for decisions like these, I like using a "pro-con" chart like this one: So, in this case, the impulse would be "trading the Ranger for the Maverick" - In the top left corner, you list all the reasons that making the trade is a plus - In the bottom left corner, it's all the reasons...

This is the predictable result of the participation trophy culture that started in the '90's. I'm all for being inclusive, but not when it's gratuitous or at the expense of the masses.

That was one of the suggested uses, but I wouldn't do that with the "stock" round nozzle (the one that's attached during shipping). The airflow isn't directed enough for my taste, and I think that you would risk blowing embers in all directions. Having said that, I have not played with the...

I I got mine today. Here's my write-up on first impressions: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/backup-cam-dash-cam-2-in-1-giveaway-upgrade-your-rig-with-wolfbox-g900-pro-mf200-air-duster.42495/post-896939

My Wolfbox MF200 arrived in the mail today. First impressions are solid. The packaging is well thought out and appears to provide ample protection, always a bonus with electronics. I very much appreciate that there's an actual, printed user manual and that I don't have to wrangle with a QR...

I don't quite know if it's equally bad or worse when they bring it back to the corral but half-ass the putting away so that they're blocking off the entrance to the corral for anyone. It's like, c'mon you lazy SOB, you've taken the time to bring it back, take the extra three seconds to push it...

Buddy of mine up in the NC High Country was once showing some tourists the area when he felt something coil up around his leg. Turns out, he had stepped on a rattlesnake's head; he sent the tourists back down the way they came, then squished the rattler's head in the dirt and waited for its limp...

I'm mad that it has to be done but glad that you guys did the right thing. Good on you!
