    Everything is potentially fake / counterfeit these days

    For sure. Everyone wants a bargain and want to believe that they are smarter than the people and companies selling these products and can come out on top. A cat and mouse game where neither side holds any advantage for long. You pay your money and take your chances.

    Ozzy Osbourne has Died

    Ozzy has left us, but his music lives on, particularly the early stuff which was not only great, but groundbreaking. RIP.

    2005 Ford Taurus Rear Brake Job for Drum Brakes

    A cost of doing business and living up north. Brakes aren't the only part of the undercarriage that gets destroyed by the rust. Not only the cost of replacement parts, but the labor and effort to remove the rusty parts.

    1973 New Yorker is rear-ended by Kia Forte

    My dad got rear ended, similar vintage Newport. Huge trunk was crushed practically to the back window. It was less than a mile from his house. He did drive it home. Unfortunately I lost the pictures of the wreck.

    Tallest building in Oregon sold for pennies on the dollar.

    Given what has been going on in that city, not surprised. Actions have consequences.

    Federal EV tax credit set to end completely September 30th

    Methy Mike and the Sketchy Bunch

    More enforcement and longer jail times for property crimes would help. Rehab stints for the offenders, not so much IMO.

    Rare waterfront home under $700k USD in California

    Riverfront to be a bit more specific. Often at a much lower price point than front a salt water bay or even better, the actual ocean.

    Weeding Out The Bad Fuel Stations

    In over 50 years of driving and buying the most convenient and lesser priced gasoline I have yet to have ever had any problems with bad fuel. But the day is still young, so perhaps I will later on.

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    No smog tests by me. But since I changed the cabin air filter 2 or 3 years ago, my vehicle is also a "clean air vehicle"

    Wisdom from old adage

    I contend that the reason that it teaches the value of every drop is that water is heavy, over 8 pounds a gallon. A 40 pack of Costco half liters is over 40 pounds which I carried a couple of into the garage earlier. Fun times.
