Unless it was some ultra rare vehicle that I couldn't do without, I wouldn't waste the time unless I just wanted to take a road trip. Did that once to look at a year old Mustang convertible at a down state Illinois Ford dealership. The trip was a "Trip" to say the least.

Must be a surplus of 2 gallon buckets, and they are trying to clear inventory.

In my experience, the displeasure with the selection really is auto manufacturer specific. Some make choices that complement their product, others don't care as long as they are round, and last the warranty. I've never really had any real beef with any of the OEM tires on any of the Hondas that...

I've generally found that to be the case as well. However, it is worth checking for the occasional exception to the rule. However, the last set that I bought for the Mustang, I priced at a MOPAR dealer that was running a "Buy 3 get the fourth for a $1, sale." I priced the Pirelli's that I put on...

That's not always the worst thing with some prudent shopping, and proper timing. I had Pirelli's put on my Mustang at a local Chrysler dealer when they were running a Buy 3, get one free sale. Tires were the same price before discount as Discount tire, came out close to $50. tire less after the...

Cost savings.

Yes it is. However, there were plenty of 3614's there for the same price.

My Deere LT calls for a AM107423. Bought those for years for $5-6.00. Went this year to get a filter, and found they had jumped to $11. and change. Ended up trying out the Supertech cross from Wally for $4. Picked up four Fram PH4967's for $1.10 Each from the Meijer blow out over the weekend...

I buy 2 gal/year for 2 cycle mix. This covers my blower, 2 weedeaters, chainsaw, and snowblower. It is in that price range around me. I figure that it is not going to break me. Glad Sheetz came into the market, so that there is ready access for it. Beats driving 30 miles each way to get it.

May be a good time to go OF shopping. Finally had the time to hit a couple of other Meijers, and cleaned up at least on a couple of the applications that I needed. Found ten for my pickup. The first five came from one Meijer that were marked down to $2.19 each, minus 25% clearance discount. They...

Not only to mention, one can go flying out the door if severely jostled.

Good choice. Start planning your road trip.

My point is that looking at it from the perspective of which part has the most potential to go bad first in a pressure washer, it has to be the pump. In my own personal experience, I have owned four homeowner grade units: 1. A Craftsman with a Tecumseh motor in it. The Tecumseh ran flawlessly...

The STX hands down. Very stout, simple mower, especially if it is the 5 speed.

Of course, it is the pump that is of the most importance. That is why there are so many gas powered pressure washers in yard sales, and other sales sites being sold for the gas motor because the pump is bad on them. Now, it might be fair to assume that since a Honda engine is generally...
