I had a friend sell an 88' Supra, and he to this day wished he had kept it. Their good cars. What it comes down to is whats going to make you happier at the end of the day, I bet you it would the supra, and not the crown vic. Honestly the taurus, if you buy the hot one, is also good, and the crown vic... isn't. it makes you feel like your drowning in wall paper paste(I know, that's not my joke).

Update: Noone came through with the money and this afternoon i removed the rear end and drive shaft. I'm going to remove the transmission sometime within the next week. Im going to figure out what's wrong with the transmission and replace all the seals in the rear end.

Hang in there Bio -

I have attempted to do something like this in the past and only ended up removing a few bolts and ran scared. I have a rudimentary mechanic ability and can replace a lot of things, but not a fun thing for me.

Reading each post one by one, and each pic that I have seen was fun. It is almost as if you are fighting a battle and winning against all the nay sayers and so forth. Also, it is a testament to your "drive" to get this vehicle running and working.

Which do you guys like best?

Whichever are lighter! Repeat after me. Weight = bad. Unsprung weight = really bad.

Barring that I like the looks of the second better, but not by a lot. If you already own the first set; the additional money layout for the other set would be pretty far down on my list. If they are equal weight and you can straight trade your wheels then go for it.

One of the guys at work has 2 of the first one and I think I can talk him down to 150 for the pair. Both wheels are aluminum and are lighter than what I have now. I plan to buy new tires too when I decide on the wheels, looking at getting Kumho ASX's. It's cheaper for me to buy through the dealership than Tirerack.

How much are the remaining 2 going to cost you? I'm not a big fan of mismatched wheels it looks half finished. Any chance of selling your current wheels?

Doubt I could sell the current wheels. Those go for about $100 each on ebay.

Well if you want my opinion. 150 for his 2 and 200 for the other 2 on ebay is 350 that could go into other more important things would be my first thought. Only you know your budget for this car and how important wheels are to you personally though.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
