I think it’s Japanese cars in general. It’s not new in the last decade or more… The windshield thing is no different than Chrysler cab forward from 30 years ago. That certainly did help aerodynamics of course. But I fit in those cars. In the Japanese cars my head hits… it’s why I bought my...

Out of curiosity, what was the rationale to dump Makita? I have both.

I’ve gone cross country to get classic, pristine old Mercedes diesels…

So the roofer can pay illegals, and drive around in a fancy done up truck. It’s a real sham. Problem is, not many folks want to go up on their roof, let alone walk it and work up there. I get that part of it. If these insurance companies are mandating 15 years, it probably makes sense to...

Yet another scam/racket…

I’ll be surprised if you can get them apart. Please show how if/when you do? I travel enough that my bags see some miles on their wheels and servicing them better would be useful!

I agree on searching for adequate pay. Relocation and running away only works so far. The costs of many items don’t change between high and low cost of living areas. Thus the question - how are the other new hires swinging it? Is valid. Somehow people are doing the work… or the place is...

None? I’d go super lube. Which is worthwhile having. It is more compatible/plastic safe from what I’ve seen. I had to lube a suitcase like that once, and I used corrosionx, which is a great product. It crept and destroyed the plastic/rubber portion of the wheels. Silicone may work ok...

Good on you to help your daughter. Maybe an issue is living in the city, I get the desire to not drive, but beggars can’t be choosers comes to mind. Not to sound coarse, I apologize, but the budget should balance. I wouldn’t want my kid to be subject to lousy or unsafe situations either. But...

That question could be asked of anything. And as you know, objective results are extremely challenging to come up with, for any product and use scenario. As a long time user, you should know that. Doesn’t mean the objective question is invalid, it’s just not something that will be easily...

They have great products. And their greases are some of the best you can find. The issue typically was cost of shipping, unless you bought by the pallet. They do offer some product on Amazon, fwiw. I’d use any of their products with full confidence. If you were remotely near a distributor I’d...

It’s unpropelled? That’s the mower I want!

I bought a JD professional used mower last year, and love it. Also got two snapper hi vac mowers. But buying a new Honda before they go out of the industry is still going through my mind… even if I just keep it dry and in the box.

If a wet finger will dissolve it, then there’s no reason water shouldn’t. Unless your water has a LOT of minerals in it. Look into marine products like Salt Away. They may help a bit. Otherwise a pre-foam, then a light wash using a porous grout sponge and a high soap ratio wash, then...

The latest ones are really good looking cars imo. And we’ve seen a few discussed on here with many hundreds of thousands of miles.
