I agree that these were not normal situations. However, they did happen in two different cities, hundreds of miles apart. That was the last straw. ONWARDS....to the shredder!

I would run out of fuel before using Valero. Bad gas (twice) when they first came to deep South Texas, and credit card number theft at a different location cured me of them forever. The bad gas was an expensive repair for lawn equipment, car ran like POO. Trying to get my money back from the...

Seeing these Essex class carriers takes me back to the late 60s when I served aboard her. I was one of the lads here:

I have used the free edition of Bitdefender for quite some time with no problems at all. Is it the paid one that's causing problems?

The toy I miss the most...

I pay for 300 Mbps, but it varies depending on the time of day and how many people are online in my rural area. This is @ 10 AM on a weekday so most are at work. During the busiest times, it can be half of this.

I had an 84 Buick 3.8l with an electronic carburetor. It was in between regular mechanical carburation and fuel injection. It started having problems, and no one knew how to solve them. I found an old-timer at a garage who was about to retire, and he got everything squared away. He was possibly...

I used this when I detailed for a living. It worked extremely well, with only occasional light scrubbing required for severe cases.

I haven't been in a car without heated seats in a long time, especially at this price point. Considering your location, is a heated seat a necessity?

I proudly served in the USN but it's been a while. I received an honorable discharge 53 years ago this month (Nov.).

Yamaha, Merc (Tohatsu), and Suzuki are all good choices. The weight differences are so small that I can't see that as a deciding factor. Electric or pull start? Power trim or not? Both add weight. Print out the engine specs for each maker and compare them. Who offers the best warranty? Which...

I only get 12 OTA channels. Of those one is in Spanish and two are repeats so nine actually. During the day it's the same old soap opera & game show crapola so I seldom watch it at all. Streaming is 98% of my viewing with an occasional western over the air. Two of the nine are old Western channels.

Fell two stories? I highly doubt that the screen is the only thing damaged. I'd replace it.

Historic would be 10¢ as in "drop a dime".
