    It's your lucky day (and you didn't even know it)! Home Depot's daily special is garage cabinets and storage.

    HPL's 4th of July Sale is Active

    Bought three 12-quart cases of Premium Plus Passenger Car Motor Oil. This stash will be enough to last for several years at our average miles driven. Now I just have to wait until the Amsoil SS that's currently in the engine and on the shelf is used up before making the switch. I see short OCIs...

    How much difference does oil really make?

    I think of oil in the same manner as duty/type ratings of ladders. You can buy the least expensive Group I oil and it will pour into your engine, if you want. Most likely, somewhere in the middle, is the manufacturer's recommended oil based on viscosity, API or other ratings/approvals. Then you...

    No unimportant jobs- school bus driver

    I didn't go to the link, but I've been telling my wife for quite some time I might drive a school bus in retirement to have something to do. Our local school district is always looking for them. They provide training, offer in the range of $25/hr, and the middle of the day is available for...

    CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!

    This is going to bug me until I check them. Door sticker says 35psi all around. Car is kept in a garage which is not climate controlled. In this part of Texas, that means it's either hot or hotter than heck.

    Priority Mail Big Increase

    I had UPS destroy a bag of sand. Literally a bag of sand! I'm guessing that driver won that month's pool of "which of us drivers can do the most damage to the least consequential object?".

    HPL July 4th Sale - What Do You Plan on Buying?

    I'm planning on retiring soon, so part of my grand scheme is to buy it while I know I can afford to do so. Otherwise, I might have to "settle". Besides, no use waiting for SQ, since my owner's manual specifies SN or higher (yes, I know Q comes after N, but so does P).

    HPL July 4th Sale - What Do You Plan on Buying?

    Fair question. I've been using Amsoil products since 1976 and never experienced any lubricant-related failures. Does this mean I would have if I hadn't been using it? Don't know, but for me, it's worth the "investment". To others, it's a waste of time and money. We can agree to disagree...

    HPL July 4th Sale - What Do You Plan on Buying?

    Maybe if I'm the first to order at 00:00:01hours, the BITOG15 discount code will not have been removed and it will stack with the 20% off! They'll quickly figure out their error, but not until my order is placed. <Bwa-ha-ha-ha>!

    Priority Mail Big Increase

    The question I have is: "Does this rate increase mean they'll lose my packages any faster?"

    HPL July 4th Sale - What Do You Plan on Buying?

    I'm going to add 24 more quarts (two 12-packs) of Premium Plus PCMO 0w-20 to the 12-pack I bought the end of May. Before switching to it, I'm going to use up the Amsoil SS 0w-20 I have on the shelf, which is enough for two more oil changes. With the number of miles we drive, this should be...

    How much difference does oil really make?

    Most people don't hang out on oil forums and discuss the subtle nuances between brands, blends, and viscosities. Such a shame they will never learn of the cleansing properties of a fresh jug of VRP. :rolleyes:

    CrossClimate 3 Tire Release?

    Same with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+. An upgraded version is available in Europe, but not NA. Tyre Reviews rates the newest version quite a bit higher than the 06+. Regardless, I put the 06+ on the Audi and absolutely fell in love with them. If not for the cost and feeling...
