    List when you found evidence that previous mechanic messed up

    1) Had a mechanic install plugs on my daughters Jetta with a 2.5. The next plug change I did myself, each plug was loose and I was able to take each one out without even putting a ratchet on it. 2) Had a 1996 Corvette was serviced at the dealer. When I got home oil was overfilled by 2 quarts.

    I do like that car and the color is amazing.I know people like to knock cars of that era for lack of performance, but they handled great and the brakes were better than any of the muscle cars that preceded them. Also there interiors were more comfrtable. Personally I would take one over the...

    Percolator vs Drip Coffee maker

    I just brewed 2 cups of coffee one with a Farberware percolator and the other with a no name cheap drip machine. Poured both in a clear mug and the drip coffee was noticeably darker. It wasn't even close. I would think the percolator would brew a stronger cup. Anyone know why this is so?

    VW 508 00 in short supply

    Yes, I actually ran that in my 2019 Q5 which also required 508 00 since it was off warranty. We have been taking some road trips and decided we wanted a newish car and not keep them as long as we did in the past. Funny story we had a 2018 Q5 which was giving us trouble with not recognizing its...

Also car is under warranty and I will trade it as soon as the warranty is over in 4yr/50k, why on earth would I use a non approved oil. If the motor fails...

    Any car shows that aren't "Cringe Worthy"

    Why are so many car shows on TV cringe Worthy. The only ones I have seen that are decent are the older Wheeler Dealers, Power nation where they rebuilt some cool cars (old SS Camaro Z06 etc.) I can tolerate Graveyard Cars because I was a MOPAR guy back in the day but the owner is trying to...

    VW 508 00 in short supply

    I went to buy some oil for my 2025 Atlas VW spec 508 00 and Walmart was out of that spec. Is this an issue already due to the War in Iran or is this just this specific store. I may try another later
