Ah, mori, you have a friend for life. Sapporo......from the Land of the Rising Sun. From the Land of "Zero Defect." From the Land of Perfection. Sapporo. Rich, smooth, creamy. Yet, light and refreshing. I used to drink Heineken and Corona. No more. Those 2 are about as attractive as...

What I like may not turn out to be what you like. But I have been a Suzuki truck user since 1989, so what is that? 17 years now? I used to run them from one end of the country to another, and never had a hiccup from them. By contrast, I had a Ford Bronco from 95 to 98 1/2, and I had to think...

Any car but your own. Seriously, though, this reminds me of Grad School. Some of the gals asked the guys if they would allow the loan of the guys' stickshift cars. Seems, the gals wanted to learn manual standard shift. The reply from the guys was short, sharp, and Unprintable!!!!!!

Can I use Auto-Rx with Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40? I recall reading somewhere that Auto-Rx works with Schaeffer Supreme, even though the latter contains some synthetic content, which is a No-no with Auto-Rx. Incidentally, the Auto-Rx treatment is destined for the fiancee's 2002 Toyota Celica...

Back in the good old days, when I worked in New York, I ran a 351 cube-inch Ford Bronco with Castrol HD-30 monograde dino in the crankcase. Even on days when we had to use shovels to dig our cars out of their tombs of snow & ice, that Ugly sucker fired right up!!!!!! So, don't believe the...

Yes I have. Some of them are really good. Zero endorsements on their licence, zero contacts, zero fender benders. Zero insurance claims. Whenever I am in Los Angeles and hook up with friends there, the only one driver I have enough confidence in for me to fall asleep in the passenger seat, is a...

It is funny you mention Fox now promoting the practice of profiling. I agree with you......when 19 out of 20 of one group are troublemakers, it is not profiling if you single out that particular group. But have you ever tried to make out the case for profiling to the Liberal Intelligentsia out...

I managed to score 3 cases of Schaeffer Supreme 7000 Syn-blend 20w-50. Waiting to go into my Suzuki Sidekick when I've gone 3,500 miles on current Chevron Delo 400 15w-40.

The whole thing can be summed up in 3 words: "Waste of time. Waste of money." Since 9/11/2001, millions of people have been forced to waste billions of hours standing in line, waiting to be checked. The same millions of people are forced to live in fear, looking over their shoulder. All because...

There was this one apartment complex I lived at briefly in Raleigh, N.C. in the mid-1990's. I had this white car then, but whenever I used my shiny fold-up sun-blocker screen that prevents parked cars from heating up under the hot sun, I would always find bird poo when I returned to my parked...

Hot dang, I'd never have guessed that there was so much to bird sh*t. But seriously though, I have had many white cars, they have been poo'ed on a-pleny by all sorts of flyin' critters, and I have not noticed any damage to the paintwork. I would not want to enter it in here for fear of...

Shouldn't most people have damaged paintwork on their cars then? 'Cause very few people have made it thru' a few years' car ownership without bird poo falling on their ride sometime. I might add that I'm not trying to be contrary. Just something that fascinates me, since we seem to have a...

I read somewhere that Bird Poo is damaging to a car's paintwork. Because of this, one should wash it off quick if it gets on a car. Is this true?

I have lived in many cities, and still have to when on business trips. Some densely-populated Urban Areas have really wild and dangerous traffic. One example that readily comes to mind is Los Angeles. You say you do a 120 mile commute daily? I would never do such a commute, because the...
