So the wolf didn't try to eat the 1911, but he did try to eat it's food.

It's not the Glock's fault that the dog knew the combination to the owner's gun safe.

The last one I owned came with a 1942 build date, and I miss it dearly.

Dad has Grandpop's WWII service weapon. Not sure of build date

Any time I have seen a modern F1 car I've been surprised by the size of it.

I feel the need to perform a public service...  All Nipondenso starters, as the one pictured above, have replaceable contacts in the solenoid.  Easily accessible, cheap, and a great way to save some dough, if you can find a source for the contacts.  There's about 4 common ones.

In reply to Streetwiseguy :

This should be required reading. I can't count the number (upwards of 21, then) of people I sold contacts to when they were ready to dish out real money on a starter-shaped lump of off-brand sweat shop sweepings. Once I equated it to buying a really cheap pair of boots because they broke a lace, they usually got with the program.

The Ford starter in my FSJ at at the ripe old age of occasionally needing some percussive persuasion. No replaceable solenoid contacts in it, AFAIK, so I'm relying on hammer blows and profanity in equal measures.

Bold of you to assume it was locked up.

I have my grandfather's 45 ACP colt revolver from WWI. He was issued it, but the note that he left with it says that he never fired it in combat.

He picked up a 1911 and a Springfield (officers weren't issued rifles) when he got to France. The 1911 got stolen from his car in the 1930s.

My takeaway is that the Crown Vic has the potential of being an F1 car.

Show me the kitchen utensil/gadget comic cause my wife suffers from that collection.  

You should see the size of that Pampered Chef warehouse.

Or if you are cheap like me, you space the contacts further in with a pair of washers so the plunger hits the full thickness of contact again instead of the 1/2 to 1/3 thickness that is remaining from wear.

At least, that worked on my '88 Subaru and another one that I can't remember.
