    54 week old LG refrigerator failure

    What is OP's definition of "failure"? I ask because the vast majority of failures are with anything connected to adding outside water to the unit. Buy units without water, ice makers etc and they generally last.

    How to remove spilled engine oil from alternator?

    water won't wash oil away. You need a solvent. But honestly at this point, I would leave it be as you may cause more damage than it's worth.

    Does Ford Have Too Many Engineers?

    Sometimes the pencil pushers ARE engineers as well. Funny but if Farley wants higher efficiency he needs to start from the top down. It's the system Ford has created and it doesn't come from the bottom of the engineering ranks.

    Very small new houses in Texas

    It's about time. I have looked at the new home market since 1990. Never would go new as everything studiply big. As far as zoning restrictions, that is just plain wrong and immoral. The poor need a place to live just like the rest of us.

    Sam’s Club/Costco purchasing programs?

    I just bought a Subaru Forester. I had one dealer offer the Costco program, would be at MSRP. I ended up getting the car from another dealer for $2000 UNDER MSRP. Waste of time.

    Mechanic couldn't get brake rotor off?

    I took my 2010 Mazda 3 in because I couldn't budge the rotors and didn't have acetylene. They pounded so hard it cracked the rotor in half.

    Pros vs Cons I/O vs outboard

    I/O's are great because it feels like your 300 lb buddy came along on the trip. They are just too heavy and reduce gas mileage too much.

    Interesting conversation at O’Reilly

    My father ordered a 1972 F150 (don't think it was called an F150 at the time). Three on the tree, NO power steering. Both him and my Mom drove it.
