    Are winter tires "worth it"?

    There is only one test to get the 3PMS rating: straight line acceleration on snow in moderate temps. All the manufacturers have figured out how to pass this test with a new tire, especially light truck tires that have up to 15/32nd initial tread depth. The CrossClimate 2 is one such tire. In...

    Decided to try Tim Horton’s as it seems to be a medium blend. Ordered some beans. First taste tomorrow morning. The squirrels seem to like it: they gnawed through a wrapper and some cardboard.

    Get rid of the penny?

    In the 1980’s Army in Germany PX’s did not use Pennies. If the transaction ended in 1,2 they rounded down, 3,4 they rounded up. No one missed them.

    Who has fought a manufacture? Wisdom please. I have got conflicting information.

    Don’t know where you live but most state Attorney General offices deal with these problems all the time. In most states this vehicle would be returnable under their Lemon Laws. But without knowing what state, no one is going to be able to offer valid advice.

    Who has fought a manufacture? Wisdom please. I have got conflicting information.

    My mother had a 1992 (?) Mercury Sable with 3.8L engine. She purchased an extended warranty. The car overheated and she brought it back to the dealer. They replaced the water pump. The extended warranty expired several months later. The car overheated again and the engine was damaged. We...

    Canadians equate Tim Horton's to the USPS motto "“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion"

    Dunkin Donuts used to bake them each morning at 4am and bake fresh every couple hours. That was before they stopped making hand-cut donuts, sold out to Baskin Robbins, and renamed themselves Dunkin’. They have a total of 12,871 locations versus 5,701 for Tim Hortons (in 2019, numbers are lower...

    Why do you put your wipers up before it snows?

    My Outback (like most) has a heater at the base of the windshield. Burt the filler panel is plastic. If you don’t clear it out it can build up onto the wiper blade in certain conditions.

    Had Difficulty Picking Up My Dropped CBR300

    We bought a CBR500R for a family member. I used to steal it often, very agile and fun. Added a windshield, heated grips, power port. Dropping bikes happens…. We usually carry some nylon strap and a couple anchor shackles in case it’s down a slope. Some good tips here.

    Why do you put your wipers up before it snows?

    There are some oddly certain beliefs, which given the range of weather conditions and vehicles in NA is surprising. Someone last night.
