Last year, when I swapped the pump in my Mustang, I figured the tank would need a cleaning after 23 years and ~50K miles. I poked around the inside with an endoscopic camera, though, and it was as clean as a whistle. Maybe the PO flushed it out at some point.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey White,

No G-mail, we have Exchange servers at many of our clients sites and those that don't, use Office 365.

Downdetector is also good for internet outages such as Comcast. We often times will check there to see if there is an area-wide outage when one of our clients goes down. It's better than sitting on hold for 20 minutes only to find out it's a regional outage that we can't do anything about.

I have not used Honey but I do use camelcamelcamel.com They are an Amazon price tracking site. They'll tell you the price of an item over the past year and let you set alerts for when the price dips to your preset level.

That's good to know about those Intel SSDs. I have installed hundreds if not thousands of SSDs but almost all have been Samsung. I have only seen 2 failures of those. The Intels have been looking interesting as the prices come down but I think i'll stick with the Sammies.

Well these just came in today. Never had Infinitys before so this should be interesting. Still waiting on baffles before I can install them though.

I'm curious how you like those once you get them installed. I got the Pioneer 6X8s that Crotchfield suggested. Meh, they're better than stock for sure but not too impressive overall. Also, I would like to know more about the baffles? I've seen them before but never used a set. Obviously you feel they are worth it but I would like to hear some opinion on why/how they make an improvement? Please note this is not criticizing in any way, I'm honestly curious about them.

Buck, you are good man. I have always been a RF fan but these had really good reviews. Especially for non amplified applications so we will have to see. The baffles are supposed to help with bass response but I'll let you know what I think about the setup.

JP - I've found baffles can actually reduce bass extension. They do , though, provide moisture protection for the speaker. They can also help with bass "punch." That said, the #1 thing you can do to help speakers meet their potential is sound deadening. I took my doors to an extreme, covering as much of the inner and outer skin as possible, but even a small amount can make a huge difference. Just an 18"x18" (or larger) piece on the outer skin behind the speaker, and a 12: radius (or so) around the speaker itself can make worlds of difference. I used
Noico sound deadener from Amazon Noico sound deadener from Amazon
on my truck, and found it to be just as good as the more expensive stuff like DynoMat. I'm not the only one who likes it. Check out this comparison: https://soundproofliving.com/noico-dynamat-review/

I use honey, it only pops up when I’m in a checkout webpage. It’s saved us a good chunk of money. It’s never worked on amazon but most other stores we get savings. Target, academy sports, Walmart, clothing stores, baby item stores, autopart stores, you name it.

Ohio, I might have to give that a shot. I will at some point be adding a sub behind the back seat just to add a little depth. More than likely this. This will be a departure from my comfort zone to say the least.

2100, it found black headlights for me on Amazon yesterday for $20 cheaper with the same rating so I'm liking it so far.
