What kind of truck do you have?

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger. Currently running on 5 cylinders, so you get a GREAT back massage when you go down the road.

I didnt know that in Oregon you are't aloud to pump your own gas........ wow haha

Is it the 3.0? Is it just a misfire in that cylinder or something else? Good luck with that anyway haha. I'll stick with my bullet proof I4.

I've actually got the 4.0... And I have no idea what it is. Possibly a spark plug issue on one of the driver side cylinders but I'm not sure.

Find a friend with an OBDII puller. That should tell you.

At least my family actually knows how to.. A good percentage of the people here don't know. The same law is in the state of New Jersey. Another crazy thing about Oregon is that a lot of the Locals JayWalk just so they can get across the street. It's a weird state here. Oh yeah, and it's not an official Oregon day without seeing a bunch of stoners because recreational weed is legal here... It's a crazy state.

Seems weird that your not allowed to do that. Over here, it's all self-service everywhere (although I don't do it very often).

I fly to Atlanta tomorrow to go see some old friends, not looking forward in to running into King at the airport.

You wouldn't look forward to meeting me?

It would just be super awkward if I bumped into you.

I have no plans to be at the airport so no worries.

I have a question for those of you who have built roller coasters on grass. Does it kill the grass at all, or did you store it in separate pieces in a different locations and assembled and filmed in one day? I started building a pretty big ride and don't want to start a thread until I know I have a location for it. Otherwise I'm going to have to clean a garage out.

[CW5X]

It doesn't really kill the grass as long as it's just K'nex you put on it (wooden boards and stuff do a bit more damage). I left Minotaur on it for most of the week and there was nothing except for the stuff where the boards were. The main thing is just walking on the same spots repeatedly which can wear it down and make it a little muddy when wet. I guess that it could block the sunlight more if the supports are quite thick so it might be more of a problem if it's a wooden style ride.

Im taking my driver's license test in 5 days in my dads 2016 toyota carola, I was wondering, will they let me use the rear view camera that the car comes with on the maneuverability test?

I cant find any clear answers online, so im wondering if someone here might know. Im in Ohio, if thats important.

I've been working hard getting all of my school work done and I can proudly say that on June 30th I received my diploma! I'm officially graduated and it feels amazing to know that I'm done.
Also, the 13th of this month was my birthday so I turned 17, it's crazy how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday I joined this site.

Well, now that school has finally come to an end I have more time to do stuff for me, so I've started building again. Does anyone know how to post pictures? I was able to do it easily through photobucket but I can't seem to figure out the SSC gallery. Is there a thread that explains it? I am really curious because I want to become an active member once again.
One more thing, had anyone experienced issues with the mobile site of SSC? For the longest time it wouldn't let me log in, and when it did the site would not load properly. It could be my iPod, but I'm just curious.

When my sister took her road test, the instructor covered it up as not every car has one. This one was in NY, but I would practice without it.

Cool, thanks! Looks like I will be creating a construction thread in the next few days.

Just hit "More Reply Options" and you can attach photos straight to the post. It's a lot easier than going through Photobucket. The mobile site seems to work fine for me (that's the main way I access SSC now), but I'm using Chrome on my phone.

Yesterday, When I stepped out of the plane, I was blasted with the humidity. Ah, good old Georgia weather... Also, I had the chance to go to SFOG today, but I got really lazy and said no.

It is very warm and sunny here in Germany. I told the weather we were going to Canada so it should be dry for a while.

Hey BGT, just a quick usability suggestion if it's an easy fix. I love the "Latest Posts" addition on the top right part of the forum sub-header, but when I click on the "Longest Thread" it takes me to the first page of the thread. Would it be possible to just take me to the latest page? 

 

It is hot here in Orlando. I have been able to check out all the major new attractions minus Cobra's Curse. Maybe it is my inner coaster-enthusiast, but in order of the new attractions I have been on I would rank them: Mako, Kong, Soarin', Frozen. I think I just had too high of expectations for Frozen. A lot of people saying it is Disney's "Best Dark Ride" which it absolutely is not. Animatronics are ridiculous, but the ride system still feels "old." Soarin' is just insane because the quality of the media is absurd. I was getting some major fish-eye since my buddy and I were on the outer-most seats, but my god the media is nice. A few too many "uh oh you are about to get hit by something" media transitions, but still enjoyable.
