Not bad for 24 carat gold!

I was with Liberty Mutual for 17 years. When my most recent renewal for auto and home arrived back in December, I decided to shop around. I was able to obtain the same and greater coverage with NJM (New Jersey Manufacturers) and saved $5000 on my annual policies. While overjoyed, I couldn't help...

It does.

I purchased the Honda in my signature in 2011 with 50,000 miles on the odometer. I have never changed the coolant nor have I had to add even one ounce to the radiator or the reservoir. Just a few weeks ago I purchased a tester. The coolant was absolutely crystal clear, still green but no...

For the first time ever, I just used an M1-110A canister filter on my Honda. You're right, the filter felt very substantial and solid. I noticed that the gasket is pre-lubed as well.

You could be onto something. I heard a report on the radio just a couple of weeks ago that showed evidence, in certain circumstances, of AI being sarcastic and vindictive. So, be nice to those robots you meet on the way up.....

I spent a summer many moons ago working in a small plastics factory. They made items such as ash trays, can openers, bell covers, etc. Any time a finished piece came out of the mold, there was always a slight bit of excess plastic that was squeezed out but still part of the product along the...

Thanks to all who responded! This forum is an absolute wealth of knowledge. By the time I called the mechanic yesterday morning, you all had responded so I was curious as to what he was going to say. He too immediately thought starter and that's what it was. Job done and the 'ol girl turns over...

It did crank a couple of times and then just died.

About three weeks ago, while getting a couple tires for my Honda, the counter person told me the tech did the routine exam and my battery did poorly on the load test as well as being corroded. I knew it wasn't corroded as I had just recently cleaned the terminals so I just assumed it to be...

If your debit card is connected a bank account with FDIC insurance, is a debit card "hack" or theft a covered loss? I've had credit cards hacked and used fraudulently but never a debit card.

Me, I'd be getting a new hot water heater. Especially if you spend much time on that treadmill!

I really didn't want it to sound like a "purchase" or even an expense. My wife and I and adult kids go to Cape May every year for vacation where the rooms are costing about $700 per night. Drives me crazy to even think about it but I keep my mouth shut, go and have a wonderful time, which might...

My problem is that the crush washer usually is so stuck to the pan that I can't get it off.
