It's not that people aren't willing to take on mortgages with a 7% APR. There are many, many people ready to sign paperwork. It's that the people with 3% mortgages aren't willing to sell their homes and walk away from that rate. Inventory is really screwy and one statistic shows that: New...

Let me get this straight: People who live where a massive storm blows through every three years and wrecks havoc amongst 1/3 of the homes in the state are surprised that their insurance rates are going up? Seems like maybe Florida should invest a little more in their state's education system.

Calculations are a little off. Average price of a new car in 1996 was $18,777. Over the past 28 years, inflation has averaged 2.52% year-over-year, leading to a cumulative cost increase of almost exactly 100%. Based on the actual rate of inflation, using the $18,777 average cost in 1996, the...

PF63 DID recently go through a redesign. Purchased from my local Chevrolet dealer: Looking inside, it appears to be the plastic cage of a standard Ecore but the baseplate is obviously different than the typical flat-baseplate Ecore design.

ICAN, The HighWire, Del Bigtree, the Selz family If you're looking for a reason why people are becoming dumber, that's a solid list of reasons to start with.

Honda HRX217 that's 10 months old. It replaced a Honda HRR216 that was about 15 years old. There wasn't anything wrong with the HRR, I just wanted to replace it with another Honda before they stopped manufacturing mowers. Ended up giving it to my nephew and he's using it at his home. I actually...

Does nobody read the article and do the most minimum amount of research? A google search turned up the following information, all from NHTSA: Makes and models mentioned in the article: Lincoln - 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC underhood battery current sensor may overheat and catch fire Jeep Cherokee -...

Very, very few people have actual phobias. Some things make people uncomfortable or maybe they don't particularly like them. Those aren't phobias. Those are dislikes. Phobias are truly debilitating clinical anxiety disorders. Ask yourself, "Would I rather commit suicide than face a spider?"...

Define "street tire". Amongst competitors and race sanctioning bodies, anything with 200tw or higher is considered a street tire. Any tire in the 200tw category will have better dry grip than the PS4S. You won't get 30K miles out out them though and you'll probably be staring down the grim...
