I like the little adjustment screw on the bottom. It looks like a variable resistor..... Obviouslly if you don't see a significant increase in MPG you need to fine-tune it a little more with that screw.

Does anyone know how long it's been there? It might be full of maggots.....

I've been through three (?) sets of Dunlop Wintersports on my Cobalt. I drive a lot, especially in the winter. I wish those steel wheels were still as pristine as in this picture! I have Blizzaks for my Honda Fit. They were the only kind I could get without special ordering.

The good people of DuPage County IL are still filling their high-end SUVs with Premium, if what I see on the pump screen is correct, before inserting my card.

I've only stayed at a LQ once, and it was one of the fancier places I've ever stayed. Your experiences may vary. I did wind up signing up for their rewards club but never stayed at a LQ again and my points expired. Whatever happened to Atikovi? I am sure he knows a place in Tulare for just...

I like that whole stretch of Rt. 66. I've been there a few times - as recently as a couple weeks ago (for the east end from Needles to Essex). West of Essex the road is blocked at some point but I was in Amboy as recently as 2016... I had that picture as the background on my work computer...

Reminds me of how the local Chicago-area Pep Boys stores liked to refuse the coupons that came in the Sunday Chicago Tribune....

Were the 21s affected by the door-hinge corrosion issue? The steel hinge and the aluminum doors (and hood and tailgate) react badly and create aluminum oxide "rust" which bubbles the paint and causes white flaky corrosion to appear. My brother has (I think) a '19 and he has had his "fixed"...

The various locally-owned non-chain places near me have definitely not kept up with that kind of pace; the burger place and the pizza place in particular (both been here since about 1970) are still quite reasonable. There are various Mexican and Chinese places that are reasonable also. The...

How about the black Tokyo-Roki filter like what most likely came on the car from the factory? That's what I use on my WRX (well, a shorter one that fits under the WRX hood - the one in my link is for the Crosstrek)...

I was going to mention Subway also. Some locations have their own signs prominently posted that they do not accept coupons, or that they don't do the $5 footlong deal. Raising their prices to nearly triple what they were a few years ago sealed the deal for me. I love Subway, but almost...

Times sure have changed! I am convinced my parents wanted me in the most unreliable, most unsafe vehicle they could find. I had a Nova with rusted-out floors, no brake lights and turn signals that did not flash. It had been my grandma's, and she only parted with it because she had become...

And besides all that, have you shopped for regular dino oil lately? There's aren't a lot of choices any more. I use regular oil in two of my cars and I had to order from Amazon to get the brand I want.

Is that really what you think non-HOA neighborhoods look like? Or are you just cherry-picking the bad ones? Kind of like when the media picks the bad ones from among 370,000 good HOAs. Maybe the South is more rural and impoverished than I thought?

It was a delayed response to the other thread where a guy got his car back from an oil service at the dealer, and his car was covered with swirl marks from the dealer's own wash rack. Whatever; back to your regularly scheduled program.

Too often, the complimentary first oil change at the dealer comes with a complimentary car wash and swirl mark application also.

Or perhaps by the ED-209. "I think you better do as he says."

I probably shouldn't complain about my microwave; it dates back to 1984 which was when my parents remodeled their kitchen. It's a GE made in Appliance Park, Louisville KY. Still works good, knock on wood!

+2 I have that engine in my Cobalt (same year also) and given my usual BITOG-style maintenance regimen, it purrs like a kitten and is spotless inside. 288K miles.

I've been using Wagner "OEX" pads recently on a couple cars and they've been great. Bought 'em on a whim because they were on clearance at RA. Box was clearly "new old stock" and was marked Made in USA. The pads worked so well I bought another set to sit on the shelf until then.... And the...
