    Buying a new String Trimmer

    I've owned both Echo SRM and Stihl trimmers. About 3 years ago I decided I wanted a heavier more robust trimmer. After a little research I settled on the Husqvarna 525LST. This machine is a beast. Nothing slows it down. Large clumps of crabgrass or high grass, thorns, thistles, you name it...

    Most reliable used simple/basic vehicle

    If you consider the Focus, do the older body style like gman2304. When Ford went to the dual clutch transmissions the Focus became one of the worst vehicles you could buy (unless you did a manual). My vote would be for anything Toyota, Corolla or Camry. Honda, Mazda, Subaru are also good...

    Gas trimmer purchase?

    I've owned both Stihl and Echo. Three years ago I purchased a Husqvarna 525LST. This is by FAR the best trimmer I've ever operated. It is a little more expensive than the models you are looking at, but it will POWER through crabgrass, weeds, thorns, thistles, you name it. Nothing slows this...

    This truck is a lease so I'm doing the 0w-20 until I decide if I'm going to keep it. It is the 5.3, but what is good for the goose (6.2) is good for the gander (5.3)?

    Are license plates referred to as "tags" in some parts of the United States?

    I've even heard them called "license tags" in my corner of NC. Or when pricing a car, I've been quoted, "tags, tax, and title."

    Want to smack the Subaru engineers (oil filter placement).

    We had one of those Subies like that. Luckily I used a cap wrench, but still had to be careful about burns. I rather suspect this design and its associated complaints is what prompted Subaru to move the filter up top where it is now. Subarus are now one of the best vehicles for oil filter...

    Dishwasher Noises... normal or signs of failure

    100% agree on Bosch. We've had lots of dishwasher is various houses: GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and Kitchen Aide. None were as good at cleaning and none outlasted our current almost 10 year old Bosch.
