I'll chime in, I had a 24 GLC 300. I will tell you that changing the oil on that car was as simple as my Toyota RAV4. You can use a quarter to uncork the drain plug literally! The filter is on top with a basic housing cap. The filter is a element type like on BMWs. Piece of cake to do. The...

Yeah we had theftins my Suburbia neighborhood. It was happening quite too often. So they started tracing the delivery mailman and caught the porch Pirates. They were cruising behind mail trucks with beach cruiser bikes and baskets looking very innocent. Also in my neighborhood route we had a...

Slick 50! It goes a long way...

After so many heat Cycles tires will have a lot of tread potentially but start to get hard, then the ride starts to get annoyingly rough. When it comes to a nice bouncy acoustic ride I'm not a rubber piker, tires are gone once they get hard and they start to lose the acoustic resiliency and...

I completely agree, I've worked to pay down my house for 26 years with the intention of moving to some place not so populated. Looking for more open space with less traffic and people. Even those areas just 5 years ago were priced accordingly are now Untouchable and I am practically priced out...

I'll chime in, I did not think a magnet would pick up aluminum! Being most of our new engines are aluminum. I would think the only metal it would pick up is something that is a catastrophic failure part like a piston ring etc.

When the financial institutions were deregulated in the mid-2000s by our Administration that was the beginning of the end. Foreign money came in and greed took over. That's all I can say to this without risking going into politics. We need to look at root cause analysis; why did this happen...

I will chime in because I've talked about this with my insurance company over a few different used models through the years. They all say the same thing; the cars are tagged with a life to expectancy relating to mileage. Here in SoCal you can have a car with 200,000 k + or 15,000 and your...

Probably just got serviced at the dealership!

Hello all, Perhaps someone can help me understand the difference between a Hybrid 0w 20 verse a standard full synthetic 0w 20 weight. I'm getting sucked into the Vortex of hybrid oil being engineered differently than the standard full synthetic. I'm really on the fence about the differences...

So basically the bottle says,, like somebody else posted " you need to follow your vehicle manufacturers maintenance schedule." So my question is why are we sucked into this 25,000 MI voodoo magic when you're manufacturer says different. This is just a marketing Ploy, I'm going to go out...

3K for me so it's super tech or Kirkland now. My driving is considered very severe because of my short hauls and a lot of fuel dilution. Never been tested but my nose only sometimes lies. A good vintage year! Will always bring me back for more.

prepandemic I sold a 1999 Toyota 4Runner in excellent condition with 150k miles on it for 4K. I can't even find a turd for under 8K now. I do see a fair amount of salvaged titled cars and trucks For decent prices, but personally I think that these prices they're asking for salvage title should...

I will chime in on the e-bike findings. I can tell you that ebikes have a couple of good purposes in my riding world. yes the afternoon rides with the headwind on the way home is great to have assist and save your knees. During a normal morning ride keep your Cadence High and let the assist...

Back in the 80s we shared a house and one of our renters was a Hawaiian guy, he was so Hawaiian that he had to fly to Hawaii every year because of his ancestral background. He loved spam! He would roll out that hot french bread with butter and a slice of spam.. that was some good stuff! We all...

I'm having a hard time understanding any concept of a Louver in a core. Mainly because isn't oil pressure the determining factor and how oil is pushed through the element. What is the purpose of a Louver in a core? Does this create cooling? Or does this help enhance the flow? Again doesn't...

Well I do my best to make sure that it was slaughtered here in the USA. I don't eat Spam, I don't eat reconstituted meat that means no fast food in general and same goes for chickens. I do use Spam for a tire block on my car when I'm doing an oil change! But in all seriousness anything with...

I agree, I just found out that if any type of meat is cut by a butcher they can put a USDA stamp on it. Finally this is changing, the meat has to be raised and slaughtered here in the US to get a USDA stamp. I did read that in 2026 this will go into law. I quit buying meat from Trader Joe's...

How often do they do a tax reassessment on property? Tax reassessment in Most states scares the heck out of me, because if they build a shopping center or something that improves the area the county comes in and rezones it and then your property tax goes straight through the ceiling. Look at...

Someone mentioned Soylent green! Let's not forget Soylent yellow! There was a day just for yellow bars. We are not so far from this whole concept. And personally I would not mind drinking the vanilla shake either when my time is near:-) what a peaceful way.
