My Traverse won't run well without them. Otherwise, I'd say screw it and drive it as is. Also, inspection and registration both need to be renewed by the end of next month so I want to be in compliance. lol

What year is your car ? And both need to be replaced at the same time ? That probably cost a few $$$

2011. It cost nearly $1300 bucks buying both of them. We're saving money by replacing them ourselves. I'm sure we could get away with replacing one, but we'd rather go ahead and replace both.

Thanks for the feed back. I knew they would be high, I just didn't know how high.

We could've gotten them cheaper, but I didn't think about it when we bought them. I was thinking about getting the car back on the road ASAP. The point is price wasn't that much of an issue for me as it should've been. Oh, well. We'll know for next time.

If mind ever go out, they won't be replaced. They stopped testing here some years back.

gotta be careful who you go to ... I'm certain you have those 'friends' ....

There were lots of Kustoff signs (our district congressman), a couple for Kustoff’s opponent, a handful of Marsha Blakburn signs, 2 for her opponent Gloria Johnson (trails MB by 22 points in the polls ), quite a few Trump/ Vance signs and 1 Trump/ Pence with Pence’s name painted over in white paint, and didn’t see one single Kamala sign outside. Granted, this district will go 75-80% Trump but not even a sign. Thought it was weird.

As always, we don’t do like sh-t hole places like Cal and we have to show picture ID to vote. That should be the law everywhere

In and out in less than 10 mins, no issues although was hoping some libs would’ve been outside trying the voter intimidation thing :-)


Would love to hear other’s experiences

Have not voted yet, but I did drive from SE Texas to NE Texas almost to Arkansas. Did not see ONE Harris Walz sign. Did see at least 150 Trump signs.

I did see ONE Allred sign. Dem running for Senator against Cruz.

Makes me believe she will lose by double digits

My mom and I can't stand Colin Allred. Neither can my brother Jamie and his wife. Allred's one of the biggest liars I've ever seen. I mean it's pretty telling that Harris County DA Kim Ogg, a Democrat, is endorsing Senator Ted Cruz to keep his seat and not toe the Democrat Party line. In all honesty, it shouldn't even be as close as it's polling, but some people (including someone on here, actually; I just don't remember his username) think Cruz has no personality. I personally beg to differ. He just doesn't put up with bullcrap.

Also, which county did you say you lived in again? I live in Liberty County. I also have family in Harris, Chambers, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Polk (especially Polk), and Montgomery counties, respectively.

You are probably living on top of the Salt Dome. You are sitting on top of the largest reserves of Natural Gas in the world.

I don't live along 146, unfortunately. I live down 1409. In fact, my subdivision is situated within three miles west of the Trinity River. (That as much as I'll say. I'm not giving away my actual address on the internet. lol)

Speaking of 146, my dad worked as a maintenance electrician at the Enterprise plant in Mont Belvieu. he was literally within two hundred feet of the explosion they had there in 2011. He said that when he ran to get out of harm's way, he hadn't run that fast since his track days at Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown. Sadly, he passed away in 2017. Besides, I doubt she'd know who my dad was anyway. But that's quite the coincidence.

They are building subdivisions on top of the salt dome just south of Dayton. I wonder if the perspective buyers are told before they sign…..You know they are!?!??

By Angel Lagoon? Yeah, I know. I'm not sure if they're being told or not, however. I haven't really paid much attention to it at all. (I probably should though.) My brother's neice (by marriage) is working at the water park. I'm sure she'd know something. Dayton's population is expected to explode over the next several years, and the poor town doesn't have the infrastructure to handle it. Also, I've been meaning to mend a friendship I once had with a guy who's now the managing editor of one of the two major newspapers in Liberty. I'm almost certain he would know something, too.

No, my subdivision is in a heavily wooded area. It was first developed in the early '80s. We're pretty close to where a paper mill used to be located, actually. I wanna say...about a mile up the road from where the entrance was. We do live outside of the flood plain as well. (I think we even live outside of the five hundred-year flood plain.)

Anyway, I've only seen a couple of campaign signs out here in the neighborhood. That said, I have seen quite a few neighbors with Trump 2024 flags. That's definitely reassuring.

As of yesterday, 1million votes cast in NC that's close to 20% of the 2020 total of 5.4million. Sounds like NC is on pace to surpass 2020 voting.

There is a long line snaking at my local early voting location. I do not recall a longer line in my 40+ years of voting. I live in a deep red area.

hmmm, wonder what I'll see this week. Usually I can just walk right in at mine. I usually spend more time talking to the poll workers than I do actually voting.

I just cast my lonely vote for a Republican in an 80% Catholic and Demoncrat population. While I was there I was wondering how many have actually cast their vote for a Republican for the first time? Nah, wishful thinking, El Pasoans don't change, they're not too bright.
