Been a gearhead my whole life... current project is a #s matching 64.5 Mustang 289 4bbl car with 3spd manual... still in the planning stage and haven't decided whether to restore her or restomod her...

Oh this hits home even more now, our schnauzer, Samson, will be 10 this year and has slowed significantly, but we hope he still has many years left with us. They have such personality that I can imagine that's quite the loss around the house... again, thoughts and good wishes with you... Edit...

Man, that is rough... sorry to hear of your loss. My stance on the matter is always to celebrate life rather than mourn death, but I'm sure we all deal in our own way. My thoughts and good wishes are with you... -Mike

All very sound advice, sounds like I'll just continue to stick around here and do as is always recommended... read more, post less...

I'll check that out tone-ny, thanks for the suggestion. -Mike

Min Ron Nee's Encyclopedia was the one book I was referring to at a $1200 price tag, I think from the reviews I saw of it I may continue to seek a cheaper used version. I will also check the list that has been suggested and see what it entails. Thanks for the suggestions so far and as I...

I did use the search function on this first, which resulted in me finding quite a few interesting and eye opening threads on how things are conducted around here that I took the time to read in their entirety. Anyway, to not get overly lengthy here, my simple question is which books or...

As I recently became active again on CP from a very long hiatus, this was a great read to remind of what and what not to do. What a great reference for us noobs...

Bump - Just in case anyone missed this the first time Mike

Good ole cherry mash!!

I have heard that their customer service is top notch with items that have simply quit working or have defects. I would caution you as to sending them anything that might have sentimental value though as I have heard that more often than not they will simply replace the item with a new one...

slice stem off medium to large jalapenos cut jalapenos in half from stem to tip and gut them fill both halves with cream cheese or cheddar cheese (we also add some onion, chive, garlic, cilantro, or other flavors on occasion) put halves back together wrap jalapeno with half slice of uncooked...

Not angry with the company in the least and have no reason to be. Whether they replace my lighter or not, I will still continue to buy their products and support them with my business. Their products are still of the highest quality and it is hard to find lifetime warranties on anything in our...

Well, my problem is that I don't have anything to send back to them. The lighter in question was stolen by some jerk. So, I am trying to contact them to see if the warranty covers lost/stolen items at all. My Element lighter was no more than 3 or 4 months old so this really sucks. I still have...

Hey Everyone, I just wondered if anyone has heard anything from XIKAR(Andy). I had an issue that had to deal with my Element lighter and sent him a PM quite some time back trying to get some info on what it is that the warranty covers. I also emailed Xikar directly via their website, but again...

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to throw it out there that I will be in the Enid, Oklahoma area from August 21-29. I know there are a few that are in that area so if you would like to meet up for drink/smoke hit me up and we shall see what we can get arranged. Mike

An extension of gratitude to the mystery bomber who kindly scattered the contents of my PO Box minus the remains of one package... You will be happy to know that the contents of you package have been received and everything looks outstanding. :love: Thanks Again... BTW: You have been...

As far as a major figure goes, I would have to second George Burns. :thumbs: Had him pinned the whole time while reading this, but got beaten out by another member. On a realistic note, anyone from here at CP. It seems I always join online forums/communities that never have anyone in my area...

LMFAO Well, I guess since I hung em out there, I deserved the shot in the bag that I got.

Reading it right now, in another window. :thumbs: And, again I will apologize if I seemed to come off the wrong way, that was not my intent. Mike
