Alrighty, then. Would you prefer "I change my plugs, air filter, wiper blades, and oil/filter (running Royal Purple only) every other week with less than 500 miles on them, because YOLO!!!" instead? Lol

Sweet. That's exactly the gauge I bought and keep in the car. Felt weird spending that much on a tire gauge after buying so many of the cheap parts store gauges over the years. Haha

Agree with this. You should be able to locate the values and test procedures via Google fairly easily.

Do you recall what brand of gauge won? Just curious. I don't really care for watching influencer/creator YouTube vids, else is looking it up and watch it myself. Lol. Thanks!

What's your current price for regular? Do you carry race gas? Lol

Thanks, I'd never even thought to look if something actually existed for the purpose. Haha. Cheap enough it might be worth acquiring as needed...

I use this as well. They also sell it by the quart, which is a little cheaper but requires you to do math (the qt is to dump in a 55 gal drum). For winter use, I just add 1.5qt of 91% isopropyl alcohol per gallon, which takes the freeze point below what we usually see here in Middle Tennessee...

If he likes the M12 stuff, he'll absolutely love the M18Fuel line! My M18 tools aren't even fuel, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. My original drill and impact set is going on 15yo, and the original pair of batteries still work. Capacity is diminished a bit, but still solid. Got the M18...

You might be surprised. A lot of otherwise sane and rational humans believe in the existence of cryptids. I like to entertain the idea, it's a fun thought exercise. But I wouldn't put myself in danger to go searching for them, no matter what!

That was George Washington Carver (if you believe the history books, anyway. Kind of another Bell/Gray situation, but PB instead of the telephone!). Carter just grew 'em. Lol 😆

Their main plant about 15 miles from my house closed several years ago. T'was the HQ, they got bought out, but I think the brand was pretty much abandoned and/or offshored. Was kinda weird because they weren't unionized as far as I'm aware.

Thanks for this resource! Some OEM parts for our 08 Hyundai Accent can be challenging to source, or their price is fear-inducing. Lol Will add this to my list of sources for sure! Happy New Year!

My 07 Mazda3 (2.3L) has been the same on both plug changes (75k and 144k)---a mighty "crack" followed by an ear-piercing screech for the first 1/2-1 turn, then they thread out by hand. I assume the crack is from the carbon on the threads that protrude into the combustion chamber, with the...

I had a harmonic balancer let go on the interstate once. 85 F150 with a 351W. Felt like the whole motor was going to come apart. Was shaking the truck in every conceivable direction, and some directions that are mere concepts to theoretical physicists. Lol. Worked at AutoZone about 2 miles away...
