    Best pistol grip tactical shotgun <$1000

    I have wondered about pistol grip shotguns for some time. Never had the opportunity to shoot one however, I have been told that they are terrible on the wrist. I presume it takes a fair amount of practice to get a good hang of it.

    Looking at a 2017 Accord V6...

    I agree with you 100%. First brand new car was a 2009 Nissan versa, white color, manual transmission. Turns out the white paint they used that year had a lot of Online complaints for being quite thin. At the 3 to 4 year mark, multiple areas of rust formed from the front to rear of the car. At...

    Looking at a 2017 Accord V6...

    Greg- Modern steel metallic. Manual transmission only had the two silver options for color. I prefer white or brighter colored cars, the dark gray definitely grew on me. I hand wash mostly but the paint overall really held up nicely. I did only keep the car two years however. Car was always...

    Certified Used Toyota; 8 miles.

    To echo what ecotourist wrote, I remember reading an article by five or so years ago mentioning CPO cars having repairs and body work done and never mentioned on the Carfax/bill of sale. I myself would definitely go over any car with a fine tooth comb, let alone a near new car especially given...

    Any Paint/Body Experts?

    Get yourself a cheap heat gun from harbor freight. Hair dryer will probably not work. I used a heat gun several years ago for the first time when my car got hit in the parking lot, worked like a charm. Hair dryer did absolutely nothing in that case, probably because the plastic bumper was too thick.

    I got a "new" truck

    Nice find, overall I think you paid a very fair price given the condition. I think it's a smart idea to leave it in quarantine, probably just park it out in the sun for a week at least. After that to get yourself a few trashbags and get all that junk out. Be very careful, I agree with the above...

    Critique my purchase: 1962 Dodge Lancer

    $1500 is a steal for that car. It is a beauty and looks to be in good shape for a near-60 year old ride. I like the color combination, the exterior blue is a really nice royal shade. I hope you restore it and keep it as original as possible.

    Three prong outlet question

    Hi, I have a few two plug outlets in my garage and most of my power tools / LED shoplights are 3 prong. I have in the past used 3-prong-to-2-prong adapters. My neighbor recently made a comment that I should have the outlets changed because the adapters are "a fire hazard". Any truth to this...
