My 98 runs like a top at 176K and my Son's 03 does as well at 205K. Lower ball joints on the 4x4s don't last as long as one would like though.

Yeah, dude at work bought a new 1500 Ram that drives itself.

No way, put a 10w-40 in it that has some Zinc

The stuff is fantastic, not well respected here but the same people who poor mouth MMO for not having ingredients that show up on a VOA are the champions of Valvoline Restore and Protect...which also shows nothing special on a VOA.

If I ever get to the age to where I can't do oil/filter changes myself then I'll switch to EVs. We have 6 vehicles, plus some tractors, lawnmowers etc and I have NEVER had anyone change oil but me. I couldn't sleep at night knowing they sent that drain plug home with an impact.

Just fill the crankcase with MMO, it is at least as thick as 0-8

I leave mine in specifically to protect my rear bumper from low speed rear endings, I drive a crowded low speed road to work sometimes, it has been hit at least 6 times, no damage to my truck in any collision.

In a basement, they will probably last forever. The pop tart may not look like a pop tart anymore but it'll be fine to eat. I've ate those things at 13 years old and they weren't stored in a basement. They will seriously last forever if stored between 50-70.

Ferrari should stick to the PHEVs like the Spider and leave the full electric performance market alone.

Yep, has on Crocs, nothing else needs to be said.

Interest rates being higher than true inflation, not what is in the index...but then we couldn't service the interest on the debt. Savers would be rewarded.

That is 12% more than they would have got from me.

But the access to credit artificially inflates prices by creating a false demand signal. Could you imaging what would happen if people had to pay outright for everything, prices for everything would be much lower.

No, it is a 2000 model.
