    Why do people strongly opine about topics they know nothing about?

    I say it at work every day, if I'm not learning, I'm dead. Life would be incredibly boring if you knew everything. Can I draw educated guesses on complex ideas or problems based on other areas of expertise and have it be reasonably useful in working through that problem? Sometimes. But I'll...

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    I hit 500 miles on my Colorado and then did a full send max tow. It 100% is for the diff break in though. I also agree with harder break in. Granted I've beat the piss out of mine since new but it has so far been good. 70 max passing, 65 in the right lane towing. I'm more concerned with getting...

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    To be fair.... If I walked into that in a parking lot, I was probably walking way too close to the vehicle to begin with.

    Have you ever had a fuel issue from a gas station?

    As a county hazmat rep... thank you. :LOL:

    Only on the water... coincidentally above ground tanks too.

    People who trade in vehicles after 0-2 years for silly reasons. Are people really this bad with finances?

    At this point in ownership it's been cheaper to own it than pay the lease payment. Just spit balling but somehow the average monthly payment people make on a vehicle is in the 700$ range. (Had to double check that.) Being generous with trucks I figure $450 to $500 a month is probably about the...

    People who trade in vehicles after 0-2 years for silly reasons. Are people really this bad with finances?

    I'm not a small dude by any means and have rode in the second row with the front seat back and it's not terrible. Dad's F150 crew is arguably worse because you can't push your feet out under the seat in front of you but space wise does have an order more room for sure. I'm a bit more torso than...

    People who trade in vehicles after 0-2 years for silly reasons. Are people really this bad with finances?

    That originally was what I was doing with my 19 as far as acquisition... But I came to find out I was too picky and a lot of it came down to color and options as I intended to keep whatever he found. A very good friend found a trade in that was nearly what I wanted, repeat client of his and knew...

    People who trade in vehicles after 0-2 years for silly reasons. Are people really this bad with finances?

    I had a coworker trade a ram 1500 for a titan because it was 1 mpg better on the highway and 5$ less a month. He had the ram 5 months. He is not able to afford it. It's a mix I think... for the average buyer it is an impulse and they do typically settle for whats on the lot and don't actually...

    Tire Manufacturers and their sub-brands

    Hercules is technically in the good year group as well. I don't believe they are owned by them but cooper/goodyear is the contractor for tire production?

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    I actually thought about you today. Had a women rip out of a parking spot in reverse as I was passing through the lot. My girlfriend screamed and I chuckled and said "we're about to see how well her reverse cross traffic alert/braking works." Needless to say Lexus's seems to be okay on that...

    Water main and sewer line insurance through "the water company"

    My primary job is working for the water company. I actually run the water plant. But as others said, our authority is responsible to the curbstop (shut off at the street) and the meter itself, though it is the customers responsibility to protect the meter from freezing and other damages. Any...
