You really want to use the 3M VHB tape. It is thin and super strong. All others are too thick and will fail after a while Don

Oh I forgot to add that I have a EZ Drain valve on my car. I put the car on ramps and drain the oil directly into this container. Only the oil filter gets drained into a drain pan. So a lot less chance of a mess when only transferring that small amount of oil Don

I work in the chemical industry. I have access to used containers that are tossed as trash. I acquired a 5 gallon container that is very similar to a Headpak container. It is thick plastic with solid and secure screw caps. You can turn it upside down and shake it and not a drop drips out. I...

I bought the same meter to run for my pressure washer. Bought a DI tank to remove water spotting and wanted to keep track of gallons used. Quality meter and happy I bought it Don

When I had my 2002 Cadillac Seville (from 2004 to 2011) I bought a Tornado just to try it. Didn't cost much and I just felt like seeing for myself. The best it ever did for me, if I remember correctly, was like 1/2 MPG increase. But that might just have been me being easier on the throttle. Don

I saw a video quite a while ago. It showed the proper way to tie shoelaces so they stay put. I like everyone else was taught to tie a granny knot. The video shows how to tie a square knot. I do right lace over left lace. Then after making a loop in my right hand the left lace GOES UNDER the...

The wife and I started watching Game Of Thrones. Just started season 4. This show is awesome and I normally hate medieval content Don

I have the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ on my '24 Volvo. Bought them because they had what I would call the most winter tire tread. Plenty of siping. Here in New Jersey we haven't had a bad winter in like 5 or 6 years. But this winter we had 3 snowfalls with some icing. The tires did just fine. I am...

Can you point that out? It looks like the inner tie rod is broken and needs replacement. As well as the outer tie rod. The inner tie rod is not part of the rack. It is replaceable. Don

About 7 or 8 years ago I wanted a new shower/tub installed. Called Bath Fitter as we had used them before. They quoted $10,000 for a surround. I decided that I would do it myself. Replaced the tub and shower surround, installed new flooring, new vanity sink and mirror, wallpapered and painted...

Installed Vredestein QuatracPro+ on my Volvo. Very happy with them. Have about 2000 miles on them so far. Quiet and handle well. Great in the snow and ice so far that we have gotten in NJ this year. Which isn't much. I bought these because they have a tread design that seems closest to a...

Does warranty impact my purchase? No. Never has never will. Usually the cars with the longest warranty period are not cars that I am interested in. Don

They cuff em and stuff em Don

I replaced the openers with new Chamberlain units. These have a 1 1/4 HP motor so plenty of power. Doors are quiet again Don
