    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    If a stall is available next to the walkway at this Costco I back in since there is a pedestrian accessway between the cars. And it's the only parking row with it because this walkway is the shortest path from the front of the store to the main road in case of emergencies/evacuations, etc.

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    Throw in several pull-ups to peeve impatient drivers. This morning I had to do a couple pull-ups to reposition backing in a 28' flatbed straight truck in a busy commercial area. The reactions of drivers rushing through the area is priceless. Perhaps they can initiate a 'Y ppl park backwards?'...

    2020 Tundra needs new front differential

    I maintain a 2021 Tundra 4x4 this looks like a must do before its first front diff oil change. I changed the rear diff oil a while ago but hadn't changed the front diff oil yet because of this problem still floating around to this day. Plus I don't want to waste perfectly good Ravenol oil.

    If applying for jobs, here is a tip

    They can peruse my old MySpace and AznAve accts if they want to. It's in that disclaimer for employers to screen social media accounts when you apply online nowadays. Some people are TMI and they need to listen what comes out sometimes.

    2018 Equinox 1.5L turbo LYX vacuum pump

    I would change it as preventative maintenance, especially if the part is failure prone and has been revised to curb the issue.

    Don't like the new mail delivery vehicles.

    Iron Dukes and 4L60's are Jaspers bread and butter lol. I would pick up 16 cores a month at USPS VMF bound for Jasper.

    Post your latest differential oil/transfer case change

    No but surprisingly it took 3.2L (3.4qt) to fill the rear end despite the owners manual saying 3.6-3.75L and Amsoil's site saying 4.6L (8 pints). May have to drive it around and check it again.
