Thanks Ford. Transmission repairs needed on all three. No more Ford for me.

Wondering if this guy is going to go ahead and fall over or if he can somehow stay like that. Meth: It's not just for breakfast anymore.

Took my Canyon across the road to what used to be Caliber Auto to have a complete brake job done. Got it back, all seemed well, opened the hood 3 days later to check the oil, heard something fall as I opened the hood. It was the cap to the master cylinder that fell off the cowl cover and down...

Yet another icon from my youth, taken too soon. Will always love your unforgettable talent, will always remember how you helped shape the way I looked at and listened to music. RIP pretty lady.

The last time I bought a single quart of oil for a car was when I bought a used Mustang in Denver years ago with the intention of driving it to Dallas. I thought there was a possibility it might consume oil on the drive so I didn't want to be completely unprepared for that. I had that unopened...

I've never found a chemical that worked well on its own on glazed tile with grout and an enamel steel tub. I bought a double-sided grout sponge and a big bottle of blue Dawn and that cleans my shower beautifully. But it does require actual manual labor so I just do it while I'm showering.

After spending a day on the phone and in email a few years ago trying this myself, with very little success, I discovered the joys of a multi-line agent. She earns her keep every year when my rates get jacked up for no reason and I ask her to find somebody else.

The only pressure that should be listed on the sidewall of the tire is the maximum operating pressure. Tell me you don't run your tires that high.

My mom used to keep a Maxwell House can of it sitting next to the stove. My dad's been a heart patient since he was 54. Stroke at 86. I'm well-entrenched in the camp that believes bacon is one of the most perfect foods, but I don't keep the drippings around. Real butter, avocado & coconut oils...

I've been sharpening the same blades since 2004. I think it may be time for new ones.

Interesting point of view on the G70. I rented one in Florida last year, thoroughly enjoyed that experience. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more had it been a 3.3. Drove it from Gainesville to far East Jacksonville and back and thought it rode very well, and was very quiet and comfortable for...

Out in the garage in the 100° heat getting my headlights cleared up. 3M kit is pretty good except the finishing pad needs to be a bit more durable or they need to include two or more of them in the kit. One barely got the job done. I had to break out my random orbital and cutting pad to finish...

Geez, is it totaled if you break the windshield? 😆 Don't know much about what this is, seems like they've been using them forever. I'm not expecting the Wylie PO to upgrade anytime soon.

Valvoline multi-vehicle left a beautiful mess on my garage floor, as I hang my grease gun on the wall. 🫤

I turn off the A/C about half a mile from the destination, turn the fan up, and recirculate off to raise the temperature of the core so it can begin drying out, and not attract any more condensation. If I'm parking in my garage, I set the parking brake to service mode so that it won't set when...
