The E0 at the Chevron near my house in North AL is $4.29/gal. It also has a big sticker on the pump that "this is not a Chevron product". No idea where it comes from. I'm near Guntersville Lake so I assume it's mostly for the Bass fishers. I use it in my mower.

Not as fancy as my entry level Garmin, but it'll do. ;) Very nice watch!!!

Maybe a Mazda 3?

Transmission failed in my 1983 Monte Carlo in 1992 at >100k miles. Unknown service history and not maintained well by teenage me. Had a reman trans put in, and it worked fine until I got rid of the car a year later.

Bye.

Just finished watching True Detective: Night Country. I really enjoyed it, even though it has its imperfections.

I plan to keep my 535d until it has around 120k miles on it, which should be 2 years from now. Then I plan to sell it. I absolutely love the car, but I don't want to deal with high mileage BMW issues.

I made a mistake in my earlier post about my old JD LA110 from 2007. I said I got it from Home Depot, but I remembered that I actually got it from Lowe's. Also Lowe's must have had some arrangement with the local JD dealer at the time because the mower was sold with a sticker from the local JD...

I got 15 years of service out of a $1500 John Deere LA110 from Home Depot, mowing a roughly 1 acre yard. That same level of mower would probably be $2k now, and would likely do just fine for a .5 acre lot for many years. My FIL still uses my old mower to pull a cart around his yard.

My local mechanic has had to source salvage parts for me a couple of times over the years because reasons. The parts always worked fine and cost nowhere near the price for new.

I only get E0 from the pump with a dedicated hose for E0. Also, I never had any issues using E10 in any of my OPE before E0 was available.

We had this happen when our female cat had a UTI. Get kitty to the vet quickly.

How much prolonged idling did those trucks do? How many short trips?

I'm a fair weather Braves fan.

Amazing how tiny it looks compared to most everything else on the road these days. Sweet looking car!!
