    Reminder to periodically replace your water supply hoses on your clothes washer.

    Don't forget your toilet supply line! That should be changed out at the same time interval.

    FORD now charging for customers to use the Mach-E "Frunk"

    This is a great example of how people will complain about everything. The MachE didn't originally come with a heat pump. People complained. A heat pump was added, which ate into frunk space. People complained about the frunk being "useless". Ford charges less for the product and makes the...

    FORD now charging for customers to use the Mach-E "Frunk"

    This is somewhat misleading. They dropped the base price across the line (varies by trim) and then added this charge back in, if you want it.

    Could be. Don't knock a slider until you've tried one tho.

    Had to look that up. We do have Culvers, but Slider style burgers are popular here (think White Castle with a very thin layer of meat).

    2017 Buick LaCrosse, Castrol Edge EP 5W-30, 7.215 miles

    I’ll follow the OLM, 10% is around 6,800 miles or so. I was skeptical about the OLM on this vehicle but it seems to be as good of a benchmark as any.

    2017 Buick LaCrosse, Castrol Edge EP 5W-30, 7.215 miles

    Post your latest oil change

    2016 Focus ST with 95xxx on it. Mobil 1 with a Fram Ultra was in for 3,000 miles, changed it early as I needed to do the motor mount and I hate working on cars in the winter.
