    Now that Uber & Lyft destroyed taxis, they’re coming for their profits, and lowering their service…

    Take Lyft regularly (don’t usually use Uber because the old CEO was a creep). Many of the drivers in the Boston area (not all) seem to be recent immigrants with limited language skills. Several picked me up in newish RAV4 hybrids so I suspect they must have a lease deal. Got picked up by a...

    Guess it depends on your definition of awesome. If I was only buying one set of tires it would be something from the Nokian WR line.

    My new 2025 Subaru Forester Limited

    The now-discontinued H6’s (3.0R and 3.6R) have 6.5 quart oil capacity and my 08 has an oil cooler stock. Killer B makes higher capacity oil sumps. They used to be billet machined but are now cast. 6 quarts...

    Choosing Bimini top color

    Was just going to say a lot of shops cut corners. One example is to use automotive-grade window material, which is much thinner. The fitting and labor are usually most of the cost, so premium materials are a good value. SunBrella is good stuff but by no means your only choice...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    What Standby Generator are you buying for your house?

    Our place in NH has a 14kw Kohler running off two 100 gallon propane tanks. It will run 4-5 days from those. We looked at a lot of houses. Some had Generac, a few had B&S but more had Kohler. Automatic transfer switch so it comes on once the line power is off for 5-10 seconds, We shut it off...
