Rosco - Just enclose images in WIMG tags rather than IMG tags

e.g., (wimg)https://i.imgur.com/QRrYHT4.jpg(/wimg) -- use [] rather than () -- yields :

sorry I forget how to img it smaller.

Not a meme but I'm really board at work and thought I'd address a safety issue.

Shop calls me and gives me diag codes and symptoms and wants me to tell him what's wrong with his towtruck.

gk - That sucks. >__< Well, it's not like this thread gets updates that often, so maybe just save it as a treat for once you get home


Last resort as far as images go -- Y'all can always upload them to the site (so they go into the thumbnails bar), but each user has a limit, so it's better for less-than-massive pics.

Consider imgur.com. Free image hosting that is designed to be hot-linkable

Also blocked by my work's spam filters, so I can't check CS out at lunch.

I'll admit that the last time I bought wipers for my Escape I let the counter guy put them on for me and I didn't feel the least bit ashamed

Much the same here. The last time I bought a car, I went with the dealer that had good word-of-mouth rather than choosing a brand first. I take the car back there for the standard maintenance (oil change, etc.). Discoveries over the years: On cold mornings, they bring a portable air compressor out to the service line to top off tire pressures (after confirming that that that the pressure is uniformly low rather than a possible leak) without payment or paperwork. The time I bought windshield wiper blade refills from the parts desk, he sent me through the service line for free installation. And when they realized that I had a brake light out (possibly when replacing the wiper blades), they didn't charge for that at all.

I admit I do too, and let them replace the bulbs. Between my height (I have to crawl on the bonnet to reach the wipers, risking denting it, and lay on the engine to reach the light units) and my dexterity issues (historic carpal tunnel, current beginnings of arthritis, generally being clumsy as s@&$) it's just easier to pay a professional to do it.

OK well that I can see.
Also there are some wipers I have to go out the put in for the "dealer certified" mech. Then again I'm not surprised I don't have to tie his shoes in the AM
BUT some you do need the "knack" to put on.

Otherwise I want to punch your man card.

meh cut and paste I'm not dealing with photobucket's crap to host them myself.

I can see them, but note my previous post -- I've had several images just disappear on me (we've looked into it server-side, no luck) after a few weeks, almost all of them from Rosco's posts.
