    Garbage Disposals

    I dislike garbage disposals all they do is add a failure point and their are plenty of other ways to dispose of waste. IE the trash or better yet compost it. I refuse to install them in my rentals, actually I take them out.

    Jeep Models - The Good and the Bad?

    It depends what model, the little cheap ones are penalty boxes for people who either don't want a Wrangler, or can't afford the Grand Cherokee which is decent. The GC is pretty much an ML Mercedes, but that's not such a bad thing. I still think the Wranglers are very cool just not comfortable...

    Couldn't pay me to drive that dinosaur. For $100 I'll take one and enter a demo derby, good for that, its about it.

    Amazon free shipping is now $49 minimum order????

    IDK I have been a Prime member since 2006, I have been very satisfied with Amazon. I watch their shows, loved the Man in the High Castle, and I order a ton of stuff threw them.

    Death of manual transmissions?

    They are going the way of the crank start, only old timers drive them. I have zero interest in owning one unless its in a toy car...and it would have to be a vintage toy car because modern auto's are just better. Most of the cheap cars on that list with a stick are incredibly bad, Chevy...

    Why am I killing 5.9 Cummins CR injectors?

    I use Fleetguard on my Cummins but its not a common rail. Having said that it sounds like the injectors were poorly rebuilt. Are you running any additives?

    Trailering package for new vehicles?

    On a new vehicle the trailer package is typically like $300 and includes a nice factory hitch and wiring. IMHO its silly not to get it, what's $300 on a $30k purchase?

    Silly family car decisions

    Growing up my dad had a regular cab pickup which worked just fine. We had no issues moving around with me and my sister when we were little. My mom always had either an Oldsmobile or later an XJ6.

    Poor shifter design causing accidents

    The kicker is Jag, BMW, and Ferrari have been using funky shifter's for ages with no issues. The XF has used the same knob for it seems like a decade... It seems, surprisingly, that the average IQ of their buyers are a bit higher than FCA's customer base. I played around with my Ram this...

    Which state is the worst state to run a business?

    Notice all those states on that list are empty and no one who has any money lives their. Their is a reason that all of the money is concentrated along the coasts, its where you can do business. NYC is the big leagues in the real estate world, people pay $5k a month to rent a so so apartment...

    Warming up engine is useless and waste gas

    Don't care I want the heat on and gas is a $1.60 a gallon. My truck ran for 20 minutes this morning and when I got in with my hot coffee it was nice and toasty inside.

    Timing Belt ??

    TB's are about cost. Its cheaper to make a belt quite than it is to make a chain quite.
