    NYC ... My view from the past two weeks

    This is funny to see on here. You stay right next to the garage I work at.

    Is there a wheel cleaner that actually works?

    Not to hijack the thread but what's a good soft brush that won't damage an OEM wheel like this?

    Thinking about getting a financial advisor...

    I know this post is a year old but a 2030 fund is going to be extremely conservative at this point. As retirement date approaches, a target date fund becomes more conservative and focused on bonds. These funds are not about maximizing profit, they're about maximizing or minimizing risk relative...

    Bizarre Experience At AAP

    Anybody with customer service experience knows customers rarely tell the entire story. I'm skeptical, especially given OPs need to insult the employee.

    Why crossing the street is so deadly (in the US)

    Every single week in Manhattan, usually several times a week, a pedestrian will walk directly in front of my garbage collection truck going through a green light. There are many bad drivers out there but the stupidity I see from pedestrians and bicyclists on a daily basis is maddening. I can't...

    This is definitely a WOW video- Teen Pushes Bear Off Backyard Wall While Defending Family Dogs

    Good example. The teenager in the original video really isn't dumb like some comments suggest. All animals, including humans, have a fight or flight response. When an animal chooses to fight, regardless of its size or perceived strength, it tells the predator they aren't worth messing with.

    Will this Strike Kill Ford/Chevy/Chrysler?

    The fundamental issue with the logic of this post is that if the UAW requested normal cost of living increases, they would get only half of that at best. That's the way these negotiations work. If they negotiated in good faith, they'd get bent to the rail just like they did in 2007. They need to...

    Exercise and Health

    AI, as noted, it's almost a certainty that your running is the reason or the biggest reason you're in excellent shape at your age. Running is one of the healthiest things a person could do for both their body and mind. Exercise in general is great but running in particular does so much for the...

    GM 8 Speed Automatic-Lawsuit

    The 8 speed was my biggest hesitation buying my 2022 GMC Canyon last year. Especially coming from the ZF 8 Speed. The only complaint I have so far is very minor. When it's cool out(lower 50's or below) the first shift is rough if not warmed up. Other than that, it shifts very smoothly and is...

    Cost for local detailer to do a ceramic coating on my pickup and Crosstrek

    $500 is dirt cheap for this. Too cheap to be true. That's at $500 per vehicle. If you meant $500 for both, $250 each, that's a serious red flag and there's no chance a real coating or paint correction is being done.

    Test drove a Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the high output 3.0L twin turbo

    The 8 speeds take up too much room.
