Nope...people I don't talk to in 20+ years have no business in my daily living today



Too much BS and drama....let alone get in trouble with work in some posts.

Now, in another note....trans is at the shop, getting a full man Comp job Plus since he has my converter I asked to "loosen" it up some (hurting my 60's) This should be fun.

Trans will be tested before I get back.

For a daily, it is awesome. It has more trunk space. The interior is super comfortable. It is a fat piggy in comparison though. They both have a place in my collection. Need to get the seat swapped out so it can move forward. The wife want to drive it but the driver seat is stuck all the way back.

I do enjoy knowing people see it and assume it is a turd 5.0 car. So many used to a fox being swapped and not these.

More $$$ would be nice....but only had 57 days off last year (counting 3 weeks vacation days)
Not looking for more days to work...and no guaranty to be off at X:xx o'clock everyday

So, it would only **** someone off when their "stuff" isn't ready at a certain day/time.

I'll have to research why folks buy Hobart. I'm happy with my Miller.

hobart, owned by same company that owns miller, often uses similar if not same internals (on key components) and is cheaper. the value is hard to beat and the fact service parts are available at Tractor Supply Company, it's a hard machine to beat.

Ah, thanks for saving me the trouble Matt. I had never known. I did know they were not as cheap as the low end stuff I see, so that made me think there had to be some quality.

Yep, the Hobarts have a great reputation. I should have bought this 210 MVP years ago. It welds great.

In all honesty a lot of these lower price units are equal in quality. They weld nicely for a hobbyists, but the prices start going up on the other units because of the power and durability they offer. When you're welding 6+ hours a day every day, these units simply won't last like the more expensive ones. Even the Eastwood welders are pretty nice. I compared one to my lower priced Lincoln and it welds just as nice as it for under $300.
