I'm so sad they don't sell the spark anymore. I loved mine. Super practical for a couple with no kids like my wife and I. Tons of room in the garage when her and i both had one.

Remember that people generally only post things on the internet when they are unhappy. So it's easier to find negative information than positive. Could be accurate, could be an angry customer. Take it with a grain of salt.

In my opinion gas price fluctuation only affects those that drive a TON or have way too tight of a budget. Budgets need padding for uncontrollable fluctuation.

More like: time to sell.

I've always thought the bigger RC planes were a super cool hobby. But I've also always thought "wow that's a lot of money to fly around and risk losing". Similar idea to a fancy drone i suppose. Mostly based around my tendency to break things.

I love these cars. Something you can daily drive, have fun, and even get ok fuel economy. Long live the hot hatchback.

Definitely not knocking the product. I'm interested in using it. But my understanding of it's use was to coat an ATV/UTV with it before heading out into the muck. And that this would make it easier to clean afterwards. And that you would recoat the areas fairly frequently.

I thought this was a plastic dressing? Or is it marketed as something else? Doesn't seem like it's thick enough to provide any meaningful protection.

I've been cutting mine for something like 10 years. 6mm guard and buzz the whole thing. Wife does the back and above my ears.

Do you idle the engine to warm it up occasionally? If so I'd change the oil. If you get it up to operating temp every time you drive it, I'd leave it for another year.

I generally use the lowest flow lock setting. But that's to put some small effort into having it stop around the same spot every fill up. Reduce slosh during fill i guess?

You get what you pay for in tires. Not to mention all seasons really just can't do the full job in our cold winters. The rubber just gets too darn hard to grip.

Physics demands that the more traction your tires provide the more rolling resistance there will be. But from my experience a well designed all weather will have very little effect on your MPG. Hard to pin point in normal driving with all the variables.

That's really my base point, live within your means. The foolish statement comes from the idea that people could live so close to their financial limit that an uptick in fuel prices disrupts their finances.

Don't get me started on want vs need! The things you hear people say they "need" can just be hilarious. People can spend their money however they want but at least be realistic about what you truly needed.
