I'm curious to see what ours (2020 Forte FE) looks like when I change it and the filter just after 60K, this summer or fall. This was at 40660 miles in May '24

Exactly!

I ordered 5 last night and got them delivered to home for free today. Tried ordering 4 locally for pickup (~2k miles away from home), order was canceled immediately and got this email. Price went up in the cart to the normal $27.xx.

I don't believe my Uncle's '79 Fleetwood even had the Econo-Minder. The fiberglass skin on the hood and the rear disc brakes were note worthy on it. Don't recall it having recliners either.

I am completely baffled at the lack of manual or power recliners in big GM. They were available since the mid 70s, but so rarely purchased. My car always made people do a double take. I really needed the adjustability after my spinal surgeries.

That was an unusual car, even when it was new. I would love to know the percentage of d'Elegance and Fuelie in DeVilles.

"This is a 49 state tire" 😂

I put one my 2019 L86 when it had 18K miles on it. I have less than 20K now. Easy for me to reach. Cheap one with a dipstick too.

Most of my neck and lumbar spine are fused. I waited too long and my nerve deficits are permanent (I didn't know any better, pain was not my chief complaint, bad opinion of back surgery). The longer nerves are compressed, the chance of recovery is reduced. I had a laminectomy first, but fusions...

Idaho is the same way. The homestead exemption form I just filed specifically lists that disclosure of the purchase price is not required. I've been watching Google out of curiosity to see as our info becomes public. When we bought our previous home in Boise 28 years ago the form specifically...

Unlike the big FWD cars (Electra, LeSabre, 88, 98, DeVille) with dual fans, The midsize cars aren't as good a candidate for R134a conversion. GM added a pusher fan that is ECM triggered on high head pressure for the '94 to '96 models. I added the same fan to mine ('92) with a creative automatic...

Both were F.I. before 1990. The 3300 V6 is sweet, the odd little brother of the 3800. Only MPFI (rather than SFI), no camshaft position sensor, MAP or EGR. Surprisingly easy to service.

Worst medical experience of my life. Young resident did it twice as he couldn't get fluid the first time with the revelation "your spine is more like an adult". I was 15 years and 5'10". I had pain for weeks. I had another a year later that was nothing like the first one. After a life of back...

I'm surprised at the lack of conformal coating.

A leaf blower is good to blow the insulation out of the soffits on a single story house. Idiots had filled them on a house we just purchased.
