2016 FIAT 500X POP 1.4L MultiAir Turbo, 6-speed manual. Stays at 35MPG average, when driven normally. Spirited driving yields 28MPG. Best I got so far on work commute:

2016 FIAT 500x POP 1.4L MultiAir Turbo, 6-speed manual. Out: Kirkland 15W-40 & Rislone Conditioner. Flush In: SuperTech 20W-50 & Marvel Mystery Oil. Flush Out: ^That brew, pitch black after just 1hr/70 miles. In: Mobil Delvac1 ESP 5W-40.

Van is long gone from me, but I still catch it rolling around town sometimes. Nice to know that it lives on.

A Prius is towing ~5k pounds. Video here. 😂

After I started adding TCW-3 at 500:1 ratio, (that's 5oz per 20 gallons) - my Black Max generator starts much easier after sitting, combustion chamber looks cleaner than when I got it (I bought it used), and zero rust in the fuel tank, due to TCW-3 leaving a light coating on the tank internals...

Even my 2016 FIAT 500x with 165k miles doesn't produce any blue oil smoke, or lose a measurable amount of oil between changes. It does help that it's not a GDI though, but still a turbo with choo-choo noises. This tiny FIAT 1.4L T-Jet gets driven like it owes me money, and still has no black...

I've been pretty happy with my G3C in stock form, but could you expand a bit on improvement you noticed?

The UOA at 4k should tell you if the oil is still usable. Big rigs go 30-40k miles on an oil change, but they also have a higher oil capacity to account for that. Once you slim it down proportionally to the oil capacity of a normal car - the 8k miles seem too long to me. Mainly due to how much...

Are you planning to keep it after buying a truck? Or is truck going to replace it?

Are you buying a truck specifically for towing that motorcycle? Or for other reasons too? Because if it's just for the Harley, then it's a bit of an overkill, in many ways. I have seen a Yaris Sedan go from Sacramento CA to Charlotte NC with 4 adults, full trunk, and a 4x8 enclosed U-Haul...

That Volvo 2.0L is known for high oil consumption, when the low tension rings get gummed up with carbon. That makes it an ideal candidate for both the Valvoline Restore & Protect, or the Valvoline Premium Blue Restore. But the later one is much more expensive, since it comes from Cummins dealers...

Love these Dakotas. A shop I used to work at had a beige one with the 3.9L and automatic. That was a nice highway cruiser, as well as a burnout machine, and a heck of a scrap hauler. Had a bed full of engines and didn't break a sweat. Everyone in the shop drove like it owed us money, yet that...

Honda Fit is a better choice here. That being said - I drove both the manual and CVT Mirage. CVT sucks, but manual is fun and the 3-banger sounds rowdy. In a way it reminded me of how a naturally aspirated 2JZ sounds with a resonator delete. The type of car you can have fun in without breaking...

Yesterday started it up and took it for a first ride since the ECU fix. Found out that ECU wasn't as fixed as I thought it was. The Genesis ran, but misfired on cylinder 3 (despite fresh plugs and new NGK coils on all 8 cylinders) and brake pedal switch gave up the ghost, leaving the brake...

Can confirm. "Stacks" is great, and food portions are very generous for the low price. The food quality and taste is also great, despite pretty low price. A combination of Quality & Quantity is rare these days. Anyways, try "Stacks" if y'all are in the area.

The car is gone. Let someone drive it and they broke it. Sold it, new owner apparently fixed it (just mechanically) and it's been posted for sale at $5k for almost a year. Idk what that guy was smoking to come up with such asking price... And idk how well he fixed it either.

I'm forever grateful to Waffle House in SC for saving my life on one of my spontaneous vehicular adventures.

My hometown Gorodische, built in 1681, has same color scheme on its flag. These colors must've been very popular back in the day. Here is how my hometown explains the colors chosen: -White color is a symbol of purity, perfection, peace and mutual understanding. -Green color is a symbol of...
