buying a car would be a worst case scenario. We probably think most days the wife can drop off/pick up. The accord is short tripped for her job. She is walking distance but has to carry things most days. I don’t want the GX getting beat up in parking lot. Our accord barely fit at the new...

I understand 15k sounds a little crazy for a beater but I want something that won’t possibly have the issues of a higher mileage beater. I’m sure that some of those high mileage beaters could last years with out major issues. Again these are ideas and thoughts for purchasing , good or bad. My...

I posted in the “third car as a beater” thread but I wanted to get more specific. My career path has changed. Old job provided me with a company van. My new job is 3-4 miles from my home. That will not be a problem for spring, fall, and summer except for bad weather days. I plan on riding my...

Anyone here using a Prius as a beater? I maybe switching employers. My current position provides me with a company vehicle. If I take the new position I will have maybe a 3-4 miles of driving. Now I plan on biking weather permitting. The last couple days it has been below 0. I was entertaining...

I ending up buying a Gooloo gt4000. My employer has several dead service vans in the parking lot. I couldn’t think of a better way to test it out this weekend. My son loves the light and he charged his oculus, just to see if it works.

Yes Hulkman. I must have been looking at the Noco at some point. Gooloo gp4000 and Hulkman alpha 85. I had to watch the project farm video with the sound off last night while I’m a hotel. I googled reviews for jump start packs. To me the top three that came up the most were Gooloo, hulkman and noco.

Some of these reviews on the gp4000 are confusing. People say it will start a completely dead battery and others say it absolutely will not. I need something that will start a stone cold dead battery. Also needs to fit or stay on the car.

I saw the project farm post, that’s what got me thinking I should have one. I almost ordered the Gp4000 last night for $148. I didn’t know much about it or if there was something better. I didn’t want to be impulsive and regret it. It’s $188 today. I should have bought it last night.

I probably should have one of these. I was looking at the Gooloo gp4000 or NOCO alpha 85. Does anyone here have experience with either of these? If you have one what are you using and how well has it worked for you. I have a 4 cylinder Honda, Lexus gx and keep a work van at our home. I was...

I’m also wondering. My last oil change I purchased QSFS 0w-20 for our accord. So what is comparable to the old Mobil 1 ep formula?

Well the selection at Walmart was slim. I pickuped up a jug of QSFS and a xg7317 filter. Other option was Castrol edge and super tech. All other 0w20 was gone.

I used the Mobil 1 extended protection because it was highly thought of here. I had no intention to use it as an extended drain interval. I was just trying to buy a food oil for this engine and how it gets used. The oil is ready to be changed and I’m seeking advice for the best protection for...

The car does get the occasional long trip up to the up and Milwaukee when I know parking in tight spots will be an issue.

My small stash of Mobil 1 ep is used up. I had a hard time finding the last two jugs. From my reading here the formula has changed, so I’m wondering what to buy next. This car is short tripped mon thru fri. We use it for around town driving often less than 15 miles total. The short trips are...

Has anyone else noticed the top tier rating stickers removed or covered on the gas pumps? I noticed it at our local qwik trip. Not knowing what happened I drove to Costco to fill up instead, and it was on our way to Milwaukee. If this becomes a thing with detergents not being available to meet...
