That's fantastic if the license plate stays with the car for its life! I'm being facetious, so the high school student that gets his or hers first car gets a license plate from a law offender. The officer sees the license plate and pulls it up on history and immediately sees the...

I have, 30 courts or five big bottles. And one case of Toyota oil filters. I also hord about 2000 rounds of 9 mil. In a constant rotation. Currently waiting for the apocalyptic insurgent of the Village People!

Now there's nothing like a good wiener with sauerkraut!

Just bought a new Trek sport FX 6 all carbon and it came with these tires. The tires are great but they are 42 mm wide. I will probably go down to a 35 once these wear out after summer riding, and upgrade with some fenders.

I'm not sure if this is been addressed but the real question is did they upsell you? Did you have to pay for that oil additive?

Yes here in California it can get very political but there are homeless shelters being built and a few that exist. One thing I have noticed from talking to people that volunteer and operate the shelters and food lines is; if the person doesn't want to be helped they continue on the way that...

To start with, there are definitely different types of people on the street. I won't say homeless because I don't want to put people in a category like that. You have different types of individuals that are afflicted with different problems whether it be physical, mental or jobless with no...

I've been running the Bontrager R3 hard light 700x32. I have also used the schwalabee same size. Both seem to be the perfect weight and protection for Road use. I've looked at a lot of tires through the years and gone down the high priced Rabbit Hole of race crap that Flats out on you the first...

All this just tans my hide, The point here is is that when a manufacturer makes something that is defective a consumer should not have to do all of these fiddly upgrades or add-ons to make it work right. And as soon as changes are made to Electronics or anything really, the red flag goes up...

Yeah electrical problems in these new cars can be a real nightmare. They have to have power constantly. I had a 24 Mercedes GLC 300 that exhibited many different symptoms and problems. All from all alarms going off, error codes flashing, car wouldn't start left me stranded, you name it after...

I had a 23 Subaru Forester. And I changed the oil at 100 miles and it was dirty full of metal shine, Grit, pieces of unknown at the bottom of the waste pan. Yes I do believe the filter should have picked up all that as well but they don't. Changed it again at 500 miles, still saw a lot of...

I changed my factory fill at 100 miles and found all kinds of crap in it. It's cheap enough to do. But i change it myself.

And let's not forget the ones that back into parking stalls cockeyed and Over The Line; And parking their 4x4 twin turbo Cummins diesel dually in the first parking lot that they can find in the front of the store. These are empowered and privileged people.

And let's not forget the seniors that like to walk around in parking lots looking for their cars and just stand there! On a few occasions if it wasn't for my backup camera and my reverse sensor breaking one of these disoriented seniors would have been tagged. My gripe is why do seniors walk...

Yeah 67 here, bought a 24 R4 hybrid. Probably the easiest car to do an oil change and filter. Every car and truck is different and some are more complex to do maintenance like electronic stuff that gets in the way when you want to do a brake job you have to have the calipers recoiled or you...

25k Oci really! I think marketing is really pushing toward the whole Cafe conundrum. Less maintenance. I'm blown away by this marketing of 25k oil change. That is at least 4 years in my driving habits. Are people really going to buy a 25k oci product and leave it in there automobiles just...

I use strictly synthetic. I always have for the last 20 years. My drivetrains on all my cars have always been synthetic.

Sweet Jiminy crickets! I just love marketing! Wow! We are up to 25k oci now, why even change the oil anymore. What happens when manufacturers seal the engines like transmissions and say no oil change is needed ever. Hell, I might just go out and buy me one of them there automobiles😂 Sorry I digress.

I'll throw this in; if anybody remembers the Saab cars. Out west in the hot climate pretty much by the mid 80s just about every one of those Saab cars on the road had disintegrating dashboards and the seats cracked with Foam basically disintegrating under your arse!

I'll add my two cents here, my question is, were there any qualified independent technicians to do the work or was the dealership a better choice because of warranties Etc. Out west here it is a real questionable achievement to find a really qualified and caring technician to perform a task like...
