first meal on the Blackstone 36"

You just might have it... You could let the insurance adjuster decide whether they cover it or not. I didn't think mine would get covered but it took them less than ten minutes to decide they would. Saved me 10G. I'm sure lots of substandard work gets covered by insurance, electrical fires...

I'm not a roof guru but shingling over a poorly installed roof just doesn't seem like a good idea. When the homeowners insurance company had mine replaced they paid for a tear off of the original shingles. House was 20 yrs old at the time. Homeowners insurance wont cover it? You have wind...

'98, agree. 2014, when you have the head on shot of the roar the jaw structure and musculature is very similar to the JP T-Rex. Contrasted to Japanese Godzilla's which have a head somewhat like a gator with a short snout.

The 98 version could be retitled "American Godzilla lays eggs". Part of the reason the JP T-Rex rip off bothers me so much is that the 98 movie was loaded with T-Rex rip offs. Remember the cheap not-so-special effect cloning of the baby Godzillas doing the T-Rex walk? Ugh...

Ugh... Not enough Godzilla, too much of poor character development. For as much I didn't like most of the movie, the parts with Godzilla in it were worth the price of admission. Spoilers below: Why the Jurassic Park T-Rex rip off? Why not use the traditional Japanese Godzilla head and...

I didnt explain my thoughts well. With the computer being susceptible to voltage changes, a weak battery could have low voltage or cause the alternator to surge trying to bring it up charge something like that causing problems with the computer.

Original battery? Mine went bad a couple of months ago. With the way tunes fail to load if the battery is low on these cars and how disconnecting the battery seems to have fixed it, I would check the battery.

The egging of the bores, is that from power made in the bore or the stress on the block from the power transfer of the engine to chassis/driveline?

Charging light and airbag could be a sign of the battery going bad. I had the airbag light on because of a weak battery. Had to replace the battery. Check the battery connection and get the battery tested.

Pull the ODBII codes too.

It works on those, the cheap socket stretches over the lock a bit and cuts into it a little bit. You need a socket that is just a little smaller than the lock, but big enough that it wont spilt when you hammer it on.

I've used the cheap socket trick on the old McGard locking lugs. Heard of using an air chisel to spin them off but never tried it. Put the chisel in the groove and hammer counter clockwise on the lug. You could try welding a nut on the end of the lugs if you can get to them. Clean up the rust...

Not discounting a Tq Mgmt issue, wheel hop means that tires are not on the ground 100% of the time and as such they are not driving the car forward. This would result in a loss of accelleration, which could be felt as a loss of power.

Or paint the trailer wheels black in the center and silver on the outside to match teh wheels on the car until you can caps or nicer wheels.
