A 2-5 ton portable hydraulic jack is nice to have. I don't see too many flat tires any more though. It takes a bit of room in the trunk (boot) but worth it if you need it. Mine is in a handy case that weighs about 25lbs or so...had it a long time, don't remember the specs. The factory jacks that come with most cars are an annoyance to use. I've used it once for my truck and once for my son's car. They can be found easy enough, parts stores, walmart, etc.

I just downloaded the latest beta v3.18.01 and I closed the Quickbar (it's not for me) but after logging off and back on the toolbar reappeared (I have Screenshot auto-load with Windows). I then logged off again and back on and the same thing happened.
Click the settings button in capture bar and uncheck 'Enable and show Quick Capture Bar'. Or uncheck it in the right click menu from the tray. hm I don't think this is correct. Closing it only works for current window session.

When I was a teen, I had a friend that had that same exact car. It had a straight 6 engine and ran pretty strong.
It was actually called a slant 6, but it was straight, not a V6. A very strong motor, I had to replace the distributor, and it ran great. I liked the '61 Ford Truck too, but the worm gear went out on it. Pretty dangerous since that is part of what controls the steering. I had to turn the steering wheel around 1.5 to 2 times for it to catch.

One of my first cars was a '63 Dodge Dart. Ugliest car this side of hell! But it ran good and the heater worked. In no particular order before I got married and had to straighten up. '71 Ford LTD, '61 Ford Truck, '67 Dodge Monaco-a giant of a boat bought for $175, put a carb on it and ran fine '69 Chevy Truck, '71 Ford Torino, '85 Ford Ranger Here's a pick off that dart, mine did not look this good. It was rusted so bad that if you went through a puddle, water would come through the floor boards.

Yes, I know wraith, I had to be prepared for extended periods of time with no income or work. Sometimes I was and sometimes I was not. Or to spend the time and money preparing and getting to a job, only to be turned down due to a customer's whim or weather or some other reason. Or doing a large job that takes a couple of weeks and to wait, minimum, 30 days for payment. Here in the usa, the best advertisement is by way of the yellow pages, (for my type of work) and they know it, very expensive. Word of mouth happened a lot, but the phone rang more via the yellow pages.
edit- and yeah I got burned on a few jobs for a substantial amount of money, not many times but enough to demand cash in advance from certain types of corporations, or avoid them completely

As a seller or buyer one should not let paypal have direct access to your bank account. At least, if you have too, set up an account just for paypal use. Other then that use paypal through a credit card. Then you can dispute any transaction with paypal and your credit card company. It's in the rules of all credit cards (that I know of) that you can hold up any payment for a certain amount of time in order to settle any dispute.
And yes I have sold things through paypal, but not a car, lol, or anything that much. I did not know you could buy a car through paypal, too big of a risk either way

I configured the program to display the main window after doing a "grab selected region".
Most of the times the main window displays just the captured image (which is the expected result) but in certain cases an area is already selected. Seems to be that it happens when I select a region which is not in the center of the screen but nearer to the edges.
Found this one. In 'Post Capture Options' uncheck 'Auto Select Active Window'.

yes, here is how to do it In the 'File Naming Template' option, 'Default New File Name' insert "%quickfield%" without the quotes. In the main window, in the 'File Name QuickField' put the name you want for your file, it will automatically start numbering as you add more to the folder.
