  • code po442

    i have the same problem. i got a new cap from the dealer and no difference (im not 100% sure it is the right cap to be honest). i kind of forgot about it until just recently and went poking around further. just now i went under the passenger rear corner and pulled off the plastic - rubber crap under the corner and saw this grey circle thing (part of the evaporator i assume) just hanging there. it obviously is supposed to snap into or somehow fit into an upward connection but wasn't. it is just kind of pushed up there now, however there was no snap or anything and i kind of expect it to fall back out.


    i realize how vague all this sounds, but any help here would be greatly appreciated. i plan on zero-ing out the code and seeing if it helped.


    thanks

  • A little wheeling in Centralia/ trip to C&D

    google is awesome




    In May 1962, Centralia Borough Council hired five members of the volunteer fire company to clean up the town landfill, located in an abandoned strip mine pit next to the Odd Fellows Cemetery. This had been done prior to Memorial Day in previous years, but in previous years the landfill was in a different location. The firemen, as they had in the past, set the dump on fire, let it burn for a time, and then extinguished the fire, or so they thought.


    However, in her 2007 book about Centralia, Joan Quigley asserts that the fire began on May 27 when one of the two commercial haulers serving the borough "hurled hot ashes onto the dump."[3] Quigley cites "interviews with volunteer firemen, the former fire chief, borough officials, and several eyewitnesses, as well as contemporaneous borough council minutes" as her sources for this explanation of the fire.


    The fire remained burning in the lower depths of the garbage and eventually spread through a hole in the rock pit into the abandoned coal mines beneath Centralia. Attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful, and it continued to burn throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Adverse health effects were reported by several people due to the carbon monoxide produced.


    In 1979, locals became aware of the scale of the problem when a gas-station owner inserted a stick into one of his underground tanks to check the fuel level. When he withdrew it, it seemed hot, so he lowered a thermometer down on a string and was shocked to discover that the temperature of the gasoline in the tank was 172 °F (77.8 °C). State-wide attention to the fire began to increase, culminating in 1981 when 12-year-old Todd Domboski fell into a sinkhole four feet wide by 150 feet (46 m) deep that suddenly opened beneath his feet. He was saved after his older cousin pulled him from the mouth of the hole before he could plunge to his probable death. The incident brought national attention to Centralia as an investigatory group (including a state representative, a state senator, and a mine safety director) were coincidentally on a walking tour of Domboski's neighborhood at the time of his near-death incident.


    In 1984, Congress allocated more than $42 million for relocation efforts. Most of the residents accepted buyout offers and moved to the nearby communities of Mount Carmel and Ashland. A few families opted to stay despite warnings from state officials.


    In 1992, Pennsylvania claimed eminent domain on all properties in the borough, condemning all the buildings within. A subsequent legal effort by residents to have the decision reversed failed. In 2002, the United States Postal Service revoked Centralia's ZIP code, 17927.

  • Mother F**kers

    So where is it they are coating a tail? Even the name has a different meaning.


    i was under the impression that grottinos was basically Italian for small "grotto".


    it's not about the pizza tasting the same, it is about copyrighting and branding. you would do the same thing if you busted your ass creating a business and someone came along and plagerized. what's worse is if the pizza tastes like a$$ (i've never had grottinos, it may taste like God's moms chocolate chip cookies, I don't know) and some dope thinks they are affiliated. Far fetched, but stupider happens every day with lemmings.
