My 2015 Focus display is about 3-5 mpg optimistic. The car gets an average 41.7 actual mpg over 3 years of tracking, the dash always shows better at fill up time.

I had a 90 Caprice with the 9C1 police package. It had the 5.7 engine with heavy duty cooling that included an engine oil cooler and a complete set of those green silicone hoses all from GM. Not sure what people are going on about with silicone hoses being permeable and having to check the...

The red stand, made in USA or not, looks really crappy. Probably not a good idea to use either ones. 'Monkey Ward' most likely is Montgomery Ward, they used to sell tools decades ago, not sure if that company is still around.

Bought a Teng Tools 1/2" drive metric 6 point socket set about a month ago. Used them a couple of times since then and really liked them. I have all the sockets I need, but in 12 point. My 6 point sets at home were lacking and Teng has a 15% off sale going on this month so.. The 1/2 drive set...

Have always used FelPro or Victor, never a problem. Last FelPro I used was a top half set on a Forester. 40k miles later still dry. I have an Odyessy scheduled for a reseal. It has a leaking oil pump and valve cover gaskets. It's getting a timing belt kit at the same time. The valve covers and...

It's getting harder to find stuff that's designed and made in the USA, but here's something. A friend of mine gifted me this set, I haven't used it yet, but it looks well made.

Needed a better battery charger, got this one. I like that it can be used as a power supply also. We'll see how it does eventually.

I bought the socket set and a bit set from them, these are the first Teng Tools I have bought. Heard of them a couple of years ago, a Swedish company with tools made in Taiwan. I have never seen any of thier things first hand, but they looked good in pix, I wanted to see for myself. Now that I...

Needed a set of metric 1/2" drive sockets in 6 point, got these. I like that the sizes are stamped on the sockets, not printed on them. Also liked the finish. They come in a plastic trays that are designed to be linked with other trays of thier tools. $67 life time warranty. Very nice set.

Lol...nothing that exciting, I get paid to keep jets flying.

Just got done with a 4 wheel brake job on a friend's 2007 Tahoe. Used 4 new Wagner rotors, Raybestos Element 3 pads, 2 brand new Raybestos rear calipers and Raybestos brake hose. All went well until the test drive, and I find both rear brakes are dragging. After some time figuring this out...

Dashcam video of this crash. The crew did a good job of keeping the airplane under control, they flew it all the way down.

A lot of pax evacuated through the 1R door.

The EBC Yellowstuff works well but they do generate lots of dust.
