    Honda HR216 - Side Discharge

    Found this online, there doesn't seem to be any reason why it wouldn't work. As far as not needed to rake now, you'd have to try it to prove that out. I have a feeling you'd have to rake the entire lawn, but I don't know as again, I don't have a chute.

    2014 BMW X3 Brake/Rotor Recommendation

    I'm the original owner of a 2007 335i. When the car reached 19k, the rears squealed. It was at the dealership for a courtesy adjustment on it 3X. The vehicle had free maintenance and a bumper to bumper 4/50, and squeals are not covered. Seriously. I knew they did the work because there was...

    Best adhesive to repair bottom car door trim.

    When I bought my car used, 2 caps were missing on the door handles. I bought new ones (with Lexus they came painted). I stuck the new ones on with this https://a.co/d/gUjKaii Almost 9 years later, they never fell off, nor did the original 2 that were there 9 years ago. But it is very...

    Rant: Accident right after replacing parts

    Sorry to hear. We’re in an opposite scenario. I have a basement full of Buick Enclave parts and was planning to do a lot of repair / maintenance. Then the car was a total loss. I’m thankful that the work wasn’t done first, but at the same time, those parts are an eyesore reminder of wasted...

    "Fuel Efficiency Standards Are Dead"

    We definitely fit the bill as our incoming new car is 8 cyl, EPA 14, uses premium, and exactly what we want. Every dimension is the largest I’ve ever experienced in my life, and it’s 2025. It’s great to be alive! 😊

    NEW Vehicle Advice / Recommendations: Anyone? Subaru or Toyota? What says the gang?

    I was on a project 2 summers ago where my employer spent 3 mil on a system sold to us by a German co. The really amazing thing, I was on a call I so mentioned the system doesn’t work. The vendor said you are out of hours on this project. Someone on our side said to my co, who’s responsible...

    Sub Inflation

    You need to do what I did, I'm willing to share my secrets. When you see a new electric car co., say Rivian, buy it as soon as it hits the market, since you missed out on Tesla. Enjoy the first few days that it shoots up, and keep it forever, 3 years, longer even.

    Sub Inflation

    We have gone to Wawa 4X over Hoagiefest. $6 isn't super cheap, but it's not a bad price. Plus the 11 y.o. loves customizing his own hot meatball sub (buffalo spread, garlic aioli, tomatoes, parmesan). I'll get the Italian...

    Sub Inflation

    I don't seem to have any deals in the app any longer. Every receipt spits out a bogo if you do the survey. Funny thing is every time I go to use it, the associate is unsure what to do and has to call the manager. I wonder if this is an act to discourage the BOGO....then they announce the...

    Sub Inflation

    I went there with some guys in the office in Vancouver, WA. I recall it being like $17 each back in 2018, and I thought I can expense it but do they do this daily, adds up

    Battery replacement estimate

    It's not all about money. There's the feel good aspect and better parking spaces, less walking

    Battery replacement estimate

    right now with dealers, indies, chain stores all routinely charging over list price for parts, I'd try to clip a 10% coupon and get it into the 26's. List price appears to be 12.2k

    AC Delco PF63 QC issue… Thoughts?

    Good to know as I plan to use them for the new vehicle (they're OE from pics I've seen online), and not the unused WIX from the old car.

    Pros and bleeding brakes?

    Glad it got fixed, I wasn't following the person paid by the hour and repeated drives lol But I've done both and as a matter of fact didn't have the Motive when I replaced a Maxima caliper, so I had my wife step on the brakes. I used the Motive when I did the BMW ABS pump. Both methods work...

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Me neither I’m no longer following 911 it’s not realistic. I assume a 7 manual is still available maybe up to the S models. If not that’s ok I can’t afford it anyway 😂 Ps sad to say I’ve never driven a car more powerful than the E65 Alpina B7. That had to have been 17 years ago. Poor me!

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    I wasn’t aware! Our dealer said they placed an order and the buyer agreed to $186. She said they don’t and never have marked over list. At any rate our owner got agitated over an iPad Pro where he got his 2 weeks before the new one came out (I was the one who had to return it). He had just...

    Best/Worst A/C Performance in a car?

    I also found it interesting that car AC typically blows low 40F's. If a home did that I would expect icing up and serious condensation from the ductwork....

    Best/Worst A/C Performance in a car?

    Seems like from this thread alone, GM Tahoe is mostly negative, but some say positive. Hopefully in a month I’ll observe how a 2025 behaves. Be curious how the rear AC lines are run and which side the rear evap is located. On the Enclave lines are easily damaged by a flatbed’s chains. Also...
