I'm no expert, but I am arms length away from a good amount of trucking... - Demand for trucking services far exceed supply. Price is what it is and you are just happy to get service within 36 hours - I'm guessing any drop in sales would be related to interest rates - Couple years ago, I looked...

+1 for change it now. What fuel? LPG or CNG? I hope there is some kind of notification with that thing. Guy I know, his neighborhood was out for a few days. Half the neighbors were on automatic generators... They plugged away, full blast 24/7... Only to find out they blew thru 5,7 hundred...

@grasscutter well said. Agree. Global marketplace has to be murder; the matrix of regulations they have to consider. Then use a magic ball to guess (bet) what the future holds. Take into account component sourcing, tariffs, taxes, interest rates, labor... gotta be a lot of grey hairs at any...

Good on you, knock out an early change. I'm the same way. (Miss the spin on metal filter. My '17 has a cartridge that is frankly a little pain... Much rather pay an extra ~$5 for old school)

I'll agree Toyota seems to be resting on it's laurels and the price does not correlate any more (Crazy to think there is a "Toyota Tax" like there used to be with luxury/sport brands) In all fairness: - 40,000 on a rental is probably like 100,000 on something a single owner car - We have grown...

^ This is the way

used and with a [repaired] crash history for sure lowers trade in, so should certainly get you in it for less Me: Aside from the yet to be released Slate I would not consider any EV other than Tesla and baring some kind of insane lucky find would go Tesla CPO (Even though there is an...

Speculative guess: tax on the gas alone may be nearly identical, but the other business' costs are higher and simply have to be passed along to the consumer. i.e. costs: land, construction, labor (higher mandatory wages), corporate taxes, utilities, hidden taxes, insurance, theft recovery...

True story, my Mom made my Dad get a new recliner. Old one was mint, maybe 18 months old. Probably cost them $800+. She just didn't like it. Dad tried to sell it cheap on CL or FB: nope. Then tried to give it away; also nope. Last ditch, he put it on the curb with a $100 sign on it... Next...

- Slip a quart in with every gallon or so of oil to be recycled - Use small quantities to get bond-fires going in the yard - Check local junk yard. They probably have to drain and dispose of gas every day. - I would definitely NOT run it thru any kind of motor I cared about ? can you just...

If these localities were actually serious about speed related safety, when you got caught you would have to take a time out; Say 20 minutes on the side of the road and then some kind of on-line retraining at home. But, this would not generate any revenue... :(

Speed traps are quick turn revenue streams. The vast majority of "Customers" simply pay out. Disputing the "Bill" is very inconvenient and in the end everyone settles up their "Tab" lest .gov clips your wings. Localities, backed up by the state, insurance companies and dimly lit rooms full of...

Is E10 a thing in your area? I would be very suspect a 2004 motorcycle came from the factory with ethanol proof components? Can you source 100% gas? Maybe there are some key components that can be changed out (My '01 Ducati had 2 (rubber?) fuel lines that were turning a weird grey/brown)

10 or 15 years ago I remember reading this article about a new iPhone, forget what #.... BLUF: the changed the designed and actually made it heavier on purpose as it improved the consumers perception of quality. Does this apply to a TV that gets mounted on a stand/wall? IDK

FIFY 😁 (I will also consider a Corrado with the VR6)
