    Shift knob repair W204

    Probably going to go that route. In the meantime, considering a repair until I find something I like. Thanks.

    Shift knob repair W204

    The ring around the top center of the knob is chipping away and leaving tiny metal pieces in the palm of my hand. I shift gently but it makes no difference. Considering some clear nail polish,but not sure if that will degrade the soft plastic/hard rubber knob material. The car is a 2011/12...

    New (to me) 1998 Nissan Frontier

When I got back home, went to the usual place for gas and had the same problem as before. Another possible cause, hope...

    Air BnB

    1. Thank you "Alien". That was a thoughtful response that covered many aspects of the trade. Helpful on many levels. 2. From my limited experience the destination matters to a great degree on the odds of getting a good rental. More popular vacation locations can be tricky and may require more...

    Electronic steering?No physical connection between the yoke and the front wheels? Another example of "software knows best"

    What to do with capers?

    One can always rinse them if they are too strong a flavor. Supposed to be good for you(if you ignore the sodium content), high zinc content, so there's that too.
