You're Supra just can't compete
Now THAT is an interesting question! I can just see it now
"Those pesky manufacturers are gouging the public"
"Mechanics are just interested in quick expensive fixes with substandard parts"
"I used to hang around Chevy engineers when they were designing the Supra..."
"The manuals can be found at
That runs away when you pull gun.
Welp, it gets me to Vegas 45 minutes faster than my truck...that's relatively fast.
True, but the more important thing is how fast it gets you *out* of Vegas.
I used to love going to Summer CES in Chicago. After they stopped doing the show there the only choice was Lost Wages, New Make-you-go. Since I rarely drink, never gamble and have zero interest in hookers, that town is of little interest to me.
I did have a good laugh the last time I went to CES there though. As you walk out of the convention center there are always a bunch of cute models handing out promotional literature, copies of the show mag, "TWICE Daily", etc. I would just hold my bag open and let them drop things in as I walked the gauntlet.
I'd usually just toss everything into my suitcase and my wife and I would sort it all out when I got home but one evening I stayed in my hotel room to read some of the show mags. In the bag were several multi-page brochures featuring ladies of the evening in full color photos. Had I not checked that literature would have been the subject of some heated discussion upon my return. :^)
I don't collect any of that crap anymore...I just get the free screwdrivers and hats and crap.
The ISC show was boring (Anaheim) before they moved it to Vegas.
Once I won a raffle at ISC -- got a keypad operated door lock. It was kind of cool but I didn't really need it and it wound up sitting in my garage. I finally gave it away to a customer years later.
One year one of the manufacturers ran a booth with an enclosure full of money. You got 30 seconds to grab all you could. The problem was they turned on a powerful fan which made the stuff blow past you faster than an inverted 737. IIRC, I got about $5 or $10. Most people were lucky to get even one.
The NY-ISC show used to be good when it was still in the Coliseum. I always hated the Javitz center though. The HVAC system never got rid of all cigarette smoke. A few years ago they made it non-smoking and that helped, but the place is still like a glass bird cage and you have to walk for what seems like miles just to enter the ISC area.
Also a lot of manufacturers dropped ISC a few years ago. It used to take two days to see the whole show. Now it takes part of one afternoon.
The plus side of the Javitz center was that the NY-ISC coincided with a major fashion NY show and the lobby was usually packed with models. :^)
screwdrivers
It sure was a lot closer though. I like Vegas, but not the drive. Anyway, I'm just about out of screwdrivers, so I'm going. js
I just returned from six weeks in Florida and three days of driving to get here, and am now catching up with a gazillion posts that I missed when down south (for some reason, I couldn't get into my newsreader.....)
I did have an 832 catch fire and nearly burn a place down. The AC rectifier fried and overheated. When I got there, there was foul smoke everywhere, and as soon as I opened the can, the whole mess went up in flames. I do think this was an isolated incident however, due to a defective lot of units that were installed on a run of panels a few years back.

Last time I flew to Vegas was just after 911. It took 7 1/2 hours from my house to the hotel. Probably better now, but I just drive it, what the hell. Doug's good company, even if he does talk a lot. js
Since you're not fond of long posts I thought I'd warn you in advance. I'll be posting a few lists of product URL's today.
Personally I don't mind long posts, I wade thru Mr Cs all the time. I do object to self-centered assholes using this place for their own personal gain though. Fucking jerk.

It's not long posts that we mind, it's your blatant disregard for the others on this ng. js
