My dad was in the antique/estate sale business. Up until about 2005 they bought and sold whole house contents, it was fairly easy money, older folks still were in to collecting and then things took a change. By 2010 they stoped buying whole home contents and especially furniture. Before Dad...

Relax, it’s probably one of the BITOG moderators trying to hide/stay off the grid incognito.

I’m surprised she got it past the customs and the food contraband sniffing dog. Maybe because it is not raw?

There was a recent article in a peer reviewed medical journal that researchers discovered that those who have, or are developing Parkinson’s disease, develop four unique molecules in their ear wax. I believe they are esters and aldehydes so they will have an odor. Seems like a place for a...

I went with my daughter this morning to drop off her 2024 Taos for its first oil service. About 5200 miles on it. They called it the10 k service. During the paperwork I said to the service writer that I did a top off with 508.00 M-1 and was surprised that it looked greening-blue. He looked at...

I sold an Audi A6 to Carvana a few years ago - in December. Covered with road salt. Cleaning it up was a waste of your time unfortunately. The only thing they check is that the mileage on the car is within 100 miles of what you said it was and that there are no unreported dings or dents...

In my mind I convert run hours to miles. A air cooled gen is to my thinking like driving 65mph. 73x65 is just about 5000 “miles” and so my recommendation is change it, especially since it only holds a bit over a quart.

This is a great road trip vehicle. A real sleeper in the used car market, deals can be had if you look. Has biggest second row seat and leg room of any car I have seen. Extraordinary comfortable cruiser. Third row folds flat forming 4x4 pallet sized space. Tall but easy in/out and loads of...

There is a rather new book out titled “Hot Dog Money” by Guy Lawson. Very interesting read and it names names. It was pre all the NIL stuff but that was only a couple of years ago. It is a must read true story written about someone very involved in greasing the football and basketball...

I’m enjoying this thread. I bought a Walther PD380 last month for possible CC and partly just because I liked the look and the perfect fit in my hand. I also liked how easy it is to rack the slide. I have a 5 inch Walther PPQ M-1 with the ambidextrous paddle mag release and I really like it -...

Could be…

Your story is that some vendor contacted you and asked you to order an item through Amazon at no cost if you left a good review? No way will Amazon set up an exclusive portal so that you can purchase merchandise from them at no cost and have them ship it to you under the guise that you are then...

KrisZ - I’m curious, to have that strong of opinion on how the Vine program treats its Vine reviewers and what’s required to remain in the program you must have been in the Vine program and had a bad experience and left it, or perhaps they asked you to leave? How long were you an Amazon Vine...

I bought this M-1 0w-40 European grade yesterday for $27.95 for a five qt jug. It has a Ford approval along with all the desired API and euro approvals.

I just had a natural gas fueled Kohler 20RCA 20kwW generator installed last week. It will flop over and start itself up after a 10 second power outage. It is derated to 18kW on NG. Plenty for 100% of my power needs plus I wanted extra kW’s so I can extend a power cord to my neighbors on...
