I am now to the point where a couple of ours sit around most of the time. I'm not changing oil with under a thousand miles on it. So unless it is all short trip mileage, those two get changed every two years now.

I've used PDR for close to 20 years now. If you find a good tech, it is worth every penny. See if yours will do a full vehicle walkaround when he has it. It is much cheaper to pop em all out at one visit. I do that once a year on our garage keepers.

Originally Posted By: JTK I hear that. I think I've got a dozen 48" twin tube T12s between our garage and basement from previous owners of our home. They're older ones with ballasts that were built to last, so they run on forever it seems. That's the problem with today's fixtures. The bubble...

Originally Posted By: LT4 Vette But what happens when that $18,000 used Audi, BMW or Mercedes breaks down and needs $$$ repairs. Yeah, I finally got "soaked" on a repair of my 15 year old R129 this month. A massive $190 bill for a leaking transmission plug. Had I ignored it (like many do), it...

Well, the above CU test was interesting. The standard 6 had the lowest deformation force threshold of all phones tested, even less than a 6+. A 5 takes almost twice the force before bending. Still, 70 lbs is a lot of force. It likely takes sitting on it before it becomes an issue. The moral...

It's one thing to take up some extra space at the back of the parking lot, next to the dumpster where no one parks. I do that sometimes with our one car. PDR costs a lot on that one. It's another thing to double-park at the front door. I've even seen them take up HP spots. Jerks. That guy got...

Happy to share. If you ever have an a chance to grab one of those old classics, jump on it. You won't be sorry. Kennedy used to take a portable 6BQ5 Fisher system around with him on AF1, and Sinatra used to seduce his women to his albums played through an 800C. Sammy Davis was a Maggie owner...

For a smaller phone, I say grab the reduced price 5s while you can. Or if you already have a 5s, have no regrets about keeping it. Other than the smaller screen and the Apple payments feature, it's very nearly the same performance-wise under the hood. It's also sturdier, IMO. I'm not into these...

Unless it's a rigid case, I don't see that helping much with bending. A lot of the impact absorbing ones are soft jelly types. I like the Evutec Karbon SP - a hard kevlar shell with a soft inner liner.

Originally Posted By: Schmoe Always thought Revox amps from the 70's were the best but they were pricey even at that time. Nope. That all came later, along with the "high end", and the salon insanity and $1,000+ cables that followed. But having owed systems that cost more than a car, I will...
