This is what I'm running in my '08 XR650L and I am happy with it FWIW.

I don't buy into the five year thing on tires either. There are just too many variables to make a blanket statement like that. The '08 XR650L that I recently bought has tires from '16 and I don't plan to change them until they wear out and the rear is nearly there anyway.

That seems about right. As a side note, the German word for rent is miet pronounced like meat and the slang word for a car is wagen. Whenever we rent a car in Europe, we immediately refer to it as the meatwagon. :D

My wife and I just returned from a ten day trip in Germany and I wanted to give my thoughts on our T-Roc rental. I was not familiar with this model and figured it was new but it seems that VW has been selling this small SUV since '17. Overall impression: Our car had a 4 cylinder of unknown...

Yes, but consering oils are fine. ;)

:ROFLMAO:

I remember when starring was laying on your back in the yard at night and looking at the sky.

You're fighting an uphill battle. Just change it yourself at 5000 miles or have a shop do it and let the dealer do the 10k and 20k changes. It's worked for me with multiple new Toyotas and (at least for me) it's just not worth the aggravation to fight it. It's doubtful that changing dealerships...

I bought a HF Bauer drill around '12 and by '20 when I retired it had withstood my abuse enough for me to go 'all in' on the Bauer lineup. I now have two chargers and over a dozen batteries to run my growing collection and I find that the 3ah batteries are the sweet spot for weight and cost vs...

Your passion is duly noted and we all have different priorities. I maintain the mechanical side of our vehicles meticulously and as far as appearance, I try to keep them clean and presentable. There is a limit to how much time, energy and money I well spend to keep a depreciating asset...

As much as we like our cars and trucks, they are just appliances and depreciating assets. They weren't perfect when they rolled off the production line.

It finally warmed up enough to get my Diamondback cover installed and I like it. I am approaching 11,000 miles and so far so good. Please excuse my dirty truck.

Regarding your gas mileage discrepancies, it'a small gas tank and an ounce or two more or an ounce less at a fill up would probably not be noticeable but could account for a difference in mileage. It's going to take a few more tanks of gas and some more miles before you get an accurate average...

I like seeing and listening to artists before they became famous. This 1978 Dire Straits video is on a stage that is so small that they couldn't fart without blowing each other off the stage before they became famous. Mark Knoffler's guitar mastery is certainly evident.

Of course they do. That looks like minor surface cracking and I would keep driving while keeping an eye on them.

Sometimes it is just difficult to undo past mistakes.
