Padgett Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just stoopid thought but if GM is having a chip shortage, why not recycle devices from previous generations. GM electronics have always been very robust though often a bit complex. Suspect part of the problem is relying on outside suppliers (Bosch, Siemens, Hitachi) for what was once done inhouse by Delco divisions. Relays can still be very effective where replaced by ICs.

Philbo Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Magnets came today! RA sent me a pretty decent stash. Setting aside a few for select friends and family but if any of you want one pm me your address and I will send one (while supplies last). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Some time ago I commented that I was at Gibson's [my local You Pick] and once again there was a truck from Tidwell Tires located in Bon Aqua Tn. Spoke a little more to the guy and he said they come up about once a month for them. Two guys and a woman. They buy somewhere around 500-600 tires a trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on the map and it is a little west of Nashville. I hardly every go past Nashville in that direction. That sure is a little place to be buying so many used tires. They must have connections in other places where they can sell them. I'll bet they clean them up and make them look like new and sell them for a good profit.

DAVES89 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It also appears there may be another shop in Texas. At any rate it's a lot of tires on a monthly basis... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 As most of you know I drive my Reattas quite a bit. Today the Black turned 200,000 miles. I always think it pretty neat when all the digits on the odometer roll over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 20, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 My daughter took this photo while on vacation in Baltimore this past weekend. I think it is cool. When I first looked it I really thought there was a hole in the brick wall of the building but there isn't.   4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MAUI Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I have owned my '89 triple blue for ten years and she has been my garage queen since 2014 due to my coming down with cancer and there she sat with a car cover over her during the winters but coming off for the spring thru the fall. What I found out the hard way is that I did not take her out on the road and stretch her rubber. So from 2014 to 2021 she just sat in the garage, however, I did use STA-BIL in the tank and the fuel pump was corrupted with old fuel and the pump (which had less than 150 miles in operation) lost the ability to pump fuel and it cost me to replace it a couple of months ago. I did go to a couple of car shows this summer even though she is a survivor and not a show stopper it is enjoyable to hear peoples response of this 2 seater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you get it out and drive it some. You have a nice looking Reatta. I will be driving mine some soon after a couple of months of sitting in the garage with a bad fuel pump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted October 25, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Needing a new battery for my 2012 Chevy Equinox. It still has the original battery. Want to buy from Advance or Autozone because they are local. I don't have a Sam's club membership or anything like that. Â Advance sells the Diehard for $179 and Autozone sells their Duralast Gold for the same money. Both have about the same specs and 3 yr warranty. Anyone had experience with either one? Â Both stores sell AGM batteries. Are they worth another $130? Same warranty. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
