    Quick Valve Washer

    I like the fumoto valve a lot, put it on every car I get, never had a problem. I guess $3 bucks to put a washer in an envelope and mail it doesn't sound to bad to me, but I'm from Canada where we are used to overpriced shipping charges. I know it hurts when the shipping is more than the washer...

    Effectiveness of Winter Tires?

    I drove many years without winter tires, and it's definitely winter here for half the year. I got snow tires about 4 years ago and it's one of the best things I've done, should have done it sooner. Will always have a set of snow tires. Get a second set of rims so you can do the swap yourself...

    Maple syrup

    Found these guys to be the best and I've tried a lot of maple syrup. Better to buy from their site than Amazon. Mount Mansfield Maple Products I always get grade A dark. Never of a fan of the light stuff, even though it's more coveted. A lot of work to make it, I did it once with buckets...

    Extreme Cold and Coolant Concentration Behavior

    Subaru Impreza - mechanically reliable?

    I have a Subaru with a new FB engine in it. 1. There is an oil consumption issue with the new FB engines. I know. 2. Look in the owners manual, Subaru lists a quart every 1200 miles is NORMAL. They'll smile and tell you it's normal to add 4 quarts every OCI, almost as much as the engine takes...

    Loctite Oil Pan Drain Bolt

    Rule 1 Man Code: Don't frig with another guys vehicle in anyway. Safe and simple. I'd hate to see what you do to a non-buddy. Life's busy enough for your 'buddy' without you doing [censored] like that.
