    Have you converted to a strict vegan diet? How's your health now?

    IIRC, females seem to have more issues with going vegan than males. I think it has to do with the lack of iron from meats and other animal products. There's a vegetarian lady at my workplace who's currently pregnant with her first. She's terribly iron deficient, to the point that supplements...

    A rogue tire smashes a Rogue

    That's litereally the best case scenario for that rogue tire. I've seen situations where the tire/wheel goes under the vehicle, or the tire/wheel goes into the passenger compartment.

    I can't work on my cars anymore.

    💯 I'll add tire rotations and tire pressure checks as well.

    Worth the money or should I do it myself?

    Find a better mechanic who's not mobile. Especially one with a good reputation in the area.

    assisted stranger; she was unfamiliar with new hybrid CR-V

    Not necessarily. If the vehicle wasn't driven recently (as many new vehicles sit on the lot before purchase), the battery was probably low causing the engine to start. Only once there was sufficient charge did the gas engine not need to be started, hence the scenario in OP's post.

    oil for 2018 Mercedes CLA 250 with 95k kms

    Please keep us updated with any perceived changes in overall performance of your MB. I also ran Castrol Edge 5w30 in my NA Honda for years with an OCI of 6 months or about 1500kms (it's a grocery getter). I only ran it because I got it free with gift cards from Home Hardware. On a whim I...

    oil for 2018 Mercedes CLA 250 with 95k kms

    I agree with @CleanSump suggestions above. Castrol being a group III oil, it doesn't protect nearly as well as the ones he's suggested.

    It's a decent oil. Certainly not the best, but not the worst either. 🤷‍♂️

    Replace Ford Windstar AC Clutch Bearing in Vehicle?

    Admittedly, my father is quite lazy (always has been), so preventative maintenance was never his thing.

    Surprised by a $68 countertop ice maker.

    After the built-in ice maker on my brothers fridge died, he also invested in one of these units. His review is similar to OP's, as it's far cheaper than fixing the ice maker on his fridge,

    New Headlights !

    You are correct. IMHO, the majority of folks with headlight issues (that aren't cloudy/hazy plastic lenses) would benefit greatly from a set of replacement halogen bulbs. Not only are they cheaper than LED, they maintain the OEM beam pattern, while being easy to oncoming drivers.
