Please share how the world wide web has saved you money and problems on your own. As for me growing up without it the resources you had back in the day, was asking someone who might know or opening the phone book were a couple of options you had. One deal I had was this stove I bought from Sears Grand. The control board went wakie on it and so I called Sears service and they said a new board was $180.00. I thought that was pretty high and took it out and entered some of the numbers and description of what I had and found what I was looking for at $80.00 and it a perfect replacement. Other things might be troubleshooting problems, as I had in my Ford Ranger clutch system. The problem was after I had the clutch, slave & master cyl. replaced it all worked great until I reached and altitude of 8000' and it lost pressure to the point I could barely shift gears. I found the Ranger has a piss poor configuration in the mounted position of the master cylinder at an angle that made an air bubble very difficult to expel and found a way telling me I need to remove the whole plumbing and elevated in a way to get that basterdley bubble out of there. What was going on was that bubble more than likely was the size of a pinhead would increase in size at higher altitude as the pistons in the slave & master didn't have the same outside pressure higher up as it did down at 5000' and that allowed that little bitty bubble to increase in size and my pedal pressure at 8000' was only pressurizing that bubble that got larger back to lower altitude size. The mechanic who did my clutch thought I was nuts because it worked fine down at lower level. I'm sure I'm not the only who's pulled a rabbit out a the hat, thanks to this web of information. I'd like to hear some other stories from some of you that have made the transition of going from the days of old to our modern way of getting out of trouble in thanks of the information highway.

That's what you call a pig and a poke. I thought it was funny. Just sayin.

tamrock,

Good point about the resources currently available courtesy of the web versus bygone days. In my case I sort of treat it as a virtual library to find everything from recipes, researching stocks to buy, etc....

And since I collect both postage stamps and coins I can do much better at auction on the internet than I would in bygone days buying from local dealers.

Regards

Bill

Here's a few platforms to start with. I might go one up on that and start with that 6x6 chassis
