Question for the mechanics about GMC Yukon

On our 2003 Yukon XL, it has thump when turning left coming from the front right wheel (I think), I have rebuilt the front ends on alot of vehicles, nothing this new though (old by todays standards), I have pulled the wheels off of this thing and took a pry bar to find the loose ball joint or a frame bushing, etc.. and everything feels tight. I have never messed with a torsion bar which this has so not sure if this can cause that or how to even check it. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a project car..

Been looking for ever for the right project car, and I have close a few times but the deals seem to fall thru I had my eye on a 1979 Chevy Monza 2+2 (if you don't know what one is google it, basically like a Ford Pinto with a factory V8), the quality of the car is crap, if you find one with rust it's junk, parts are very hard to find, the one I seen is no rust, I wanted to put a 400HP 350 in it but the old girl won't sell it because it belonged to her dead husband. 1967 Pontiac Firebird, all original, no rust. Original interior was fucked but was all there, ran decent and faded but not rusted original paint. I looked at it several times, tried to get the …

VW GTI, Mini Cooper S or WRX?

So I have a VW Jetta TDI and as you might know it's one of the cars in the emissions cheating scandal. More details are coming June 21 but I'm starting to look at options now. It's said they will buy it back and on top of that give me $5000. Still it has over 140,000 miles on it now. I could opt to keep it and live with whatever "fix" VW adds to it but I assume it will have less power and worse mpg. I'm in "wait and see" mode right now but considering replacements. So... Does anyone have experience with current VW GTI, Mini Cooper S or Subaru WRX (not the STi)? I will not be buying new but late model used. Thanks.

Tractor suggestions?
by JustHatched- 10 replies
- 1.4k views
I know there is some rural types on here besides me, anyway Rose and I are looking to get a new (to us) tractor cuz we had to part ways with the old one because it was old and wore out and we either had to get rid of it while we could or spend a shit load to fix it up. We currently have a small Mistubishi (made by Kubota) but it lacks a loader. It is about half the size of a Ford 8N and really is to small for work around the farm. What we want is something about the size of an 8N that can handle a bucket and pull a mower. Suggestions? We were thinking a Kubota but they are really pricey for a used one and of course there are plenty of 8N's around here but they are ol…

I am doing something Sunday that has been a life long dream of mine. I will be taking a flight in the B17 Flying Fortress Bomber "Aluminum Overcast". I have been in this plane before a couple years ago and was scheduled to fly then but weather scrubbed it. Rose surprised me today with the plane ticket and a membership in the Experimental Aircraft Association. I will do my best to get pics and video of the flight. Edit - the video of my ride on the B-17 (cell phone vid, so not the best quality, turn those speakers up)

Early preview at the upcoming Veyron successor's "official" numbers: http://www.leftlanenews.com/bugatti-chiron-to-get-1500hp-v16-290mph-top-speed-90614.html Please Jesus don't let this come to GTA. Don't need Chrome Adder #2s running around. If those figures are to be believed, 1100 lb-ft of torque is going to be insane. All for $2.2M. So .. $8M GTA dollars? The plethora of special editions following that should be interesting too.

Hello friends I received a gift card for an activity of my choice from a long list of very cool stuff like track run (pilot or passenger), helicopter tour, plane tour, karting, and many other. I'm having trouble picking one in particular so that's where you come in. I love cars and racing so I'm leaning toward a track activity. But a helicopter tour sounds kinda fun as well. I put up the poll so that you guys could easily pick your favorite activities. Please, choose 3 activities maximum. Here's a more detailed list of what I like : Ultralight plane flight (20min flight) Helicopter tour above the Chateau de Chenonceau (6min) 1h …

New Delorean's to be built.

News reports out of Humble, Texas, say the automaker plans to make about 300 replicas of the 1982 DeLorean that has not been in production for 34 years. The company has remained in business by refurbishing old DeLoreans — about 9,000 were originally sold — for enthusiasts. “It’s fantastic. It is a game-changer for us. We’ve been wanting this to happen,” DeLorean CEO Stephen Wynne told TV station KPRC2 in Houston, saying it is possible under a new low-volume manufacturing bill approved by the federal government. “That was a green light to go back into production.” Wynne said he wants to build about four cars a month. Refurbished DeLoreans cost $4…

Well here goes, I hope I will be able keep this thread up to date throughout the rally. The 2016 edition of the Dakar Rally starts near Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan 2 with a short 10 km stage finishing in Rosario. This is mainly for the fans but the times will count and determine the starting order for Stage 2. On Stage 5 (Jan 7) the riders enter Bolivia. There will be two marathon stages, one rest day and the finish in Rosario, Argentina on Jan. 16 for a total of 12 stages and 9237 kilometers (5739 miles).

This could be a horrible idea, it is 1:30 in the morning and I'm tired LOL. I can't take credit; as this was Beez suggestion in another thread (Names of Shame). It was a mention of adding the word "Anal" to the name of passing cars when you're bored. Some don't make sense, some may make you burst out in laughter. So whether its a real car or an in-game GTA car, go ahead and post the name. Ok go. Token xDBx Edited for clarification.

This Friday, November 20 at 6:00am Pacific starts the most historic off-road race in North America, the Baja 1000. Hundreds of bikes, buggies, trucks and quads will leave the start line in Ensenada, Mexico at timed intervals and race south down the west coast of the Baja Peninsula for approximately 450 miles until they loop north and head up the east coast of the peninsula where they finish back in Ensenada for an 840 mile race distance. The course is different each year, some years longer, some shorter, sometimes point to point, sometimes a loop like this year. The idea for the race was born out of a publicity stunt in 1962 by some guys at American Honda to prove the r…

Bentley just made the official announcement on the Bentayga. I've always been amused by the vehicles in GTA. Coquette and new style Baller were available in game well before the real models were on the road too. I've always thought the designers for the game were real car guys for using concept vehicles as inspiration. http://cars.gallery/2015/09/bentley-bentayga/

215Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 2
