Buying direct from their site, or their Aliexpress store is almost always cheaper than buying from Amazon, except when they run promos with a sale price on Amazon, combined with a discount code. Same also applies for Wurkkos. It does require some extra patience but transpacific logistics can...

HF took the appropriate action with a much-publicized campaign to inform owners and refunded them for the defective stands. It would be foolish for them to follow up that effort by putting more defective product on the shelves, and put themselves at risk of the another costly campaign, or...

Aside from Amazon, that is, or for the stuff they don't carry. (Or, in the case of Griot's glass sealant, price at double the MSRP) I used to buy more, though infrequently from Autogeek, when they offered free shipping promos, regardless of whether it was a sale price. Since Tony George bought...

I was across the street, so I stopped by the local store, only to be greeted by a locked door, but with people obviously inside. Was puzzled, since there was no sign about limiting customers inside, only holiday hours, which indicated they should be "open." Didn't need to spend any more time...

More time to drive the ti!

Hard to say for certain, but nothing would surprise me. I think it's very much a situation where the lowest bidder who can deliver wins, regardless of who, or where they come from. Whether those deals are being made by in-house buyers, or left to a distributor to handle (like Costo is doing)...

Clarios was sourcing batteries from a Saudi joint venture a few years ago. As well as the units from their European subsidiaries. Doesn't seem to make much sense to ship lead/acid-filled polypropylene containers halfway across the world, but it has been a feasible solution for them. And I...

It is. And another rabbit hole to fall into. Once you've developed some skills with functional pieces that can be made with relatively cheap lumber, you can dive into the finer stuff that requires higher levels of finish, with nicer wood. And another thing that's great is being able to...

Google, which develops Chrome, and is behind the Chromium project that underlies it, Edge, and many other browsers, has chosen to neuter a part of the extension architecture, in the form of Manifest v3, that removes calls that ad blocking extensions need to function. It is a move that has been...

I hear there's an all-you-can-eat sushi bar on one of the decks…

The Vatican is an amazing place, just for the art and grandeur. Like a lot of places in Europe. But I'd advise against going anytime during the high seasons, if possible, when places are insanely crowded, like a zoo and booking a tour, any tour, is the only way to get in, unless you've...

I just used the Cerakote kit. Also considered the Sylvania kit; the two are #1/#2 in that fast talking YouTuber's channel, but it wasn't as readily available, and the Amazon listing was occupied by 3rd party sellers. All in all, easy enough to use, and well suited to the average vehicle owner...

No doubt. Not criticizing the engine for what it is, or in any sense whatsoever. It's simply VW retiring a venerable design, that was conceived a long time ago, and with different priorities. The same would happen with any other OEM, under the circumstances, both micro and macro. I would not...

There are plenty of red flags here, but that isn't one of them. It's customary for watch sales beauty shots to be taken with the time at 10:10, regardless of what may or may not be hidden by the hands in that position.

At one point in time, Volvo employed plastic boot clamps on its steering racks, and it wasn't surprising to find them broken and loose. But, your average zip tie can be almost as indestructible as clamshell packaging, so they could hold up, at least temporarily. The better option is to go...

The VR6 first hit the market in 1991, but there there were spy pictures of it running around in a Corrado prototype dating back into the earlier part of the 80s. It had a long gestation. The basic design was conceived probably at least 40-years ago, it's thirsty, and it was phased out of most...

All true, but the extent to which we are tracked should be a concern. There's no reason such a simple tool needs to know where the user is at all times, as well as collecting information on cell towers and wi-fi networks, until that part was removed, and send that information to the other side...

There was only a single Techron product back then, before they, and others like Gumout tried to squeeze more juice out of the orange by trying to create different segments of the product. Regardless, neither one of the current products carry any such admonition like the original did. Their...

Not taking sides, but that may be wise. But dude, you gotta stop taking the bait.

That horse left the proverbial barn long before passengers lost full control over the window shades. The best thing about modern air travel is a full no-smoking cabin. The rest…LOL. If you want a good, interesting view, take a train.
