And if the cart gets them moving will it stop the car and/or be pushed around the lot?

Stabil Marine works great. I had a few issues when using the red stuff.

Nice ride and congratulations!

What about one of those metal tent structures? You may have to remove and reinstall for the winter, but it would be free standing and you can even get the bug screens. Might do the job without committing to a permanent structure. Our friends have one on their deck and its quite nice.

Make sure to purchase the correctly spec'ed tractor fluid and not standard AW hydraulic fluid. The tractor fluid has extreme pressure additives that hydro does not. Not only that but old specifications (like old 303) are so out of date that they also can do damage. I changed the hydro fluid on...

I'll have to try that. I sweat a lot, so my T shirts get soaked. I'll try a long sleave that loose (no hoodie) first. Don't laugh, but I bought a headband for the fourth of July. I knew I'd be running the grill for a few hours, and it was the best investment I made all year. No sweat in my...

I tried the Mother's bomb in my wife's beetle after our niece borrowed it and smoked weed in it. It had the Lysol effect. Attempted to cover up the smell and made everything worse. I'll try the chlorine and cabin filter (if it has one).

Ah yes, MotorUp. Still sold in Europe, without updating their fantastic 90's television infomercial!

Some states will note the date code on the tires during inspection, so that can be an issue. I'm not quite as diligent as edyvw, but 10 years is my hard limit on any road tire. I typically wear out most by then anyway. But if you store your winter tires inside, then I'd go for it. Winter tires...

A 6 year old car with only 9500 miles means it probably sees a few very short trips a week or so. I wouldn't be surprised if the battery is not being maintained enough in those short trips and long sitting time. Its simply discharging more than re-charging. Not to mention, a 6 year old battery...

On LFL joints, I always wondered if greasing the ball joints with one of the piercing needles would be better to get new fresh grease in the joint OR would you be opening it up to contamination and therefore causing the joint to fail sooner?

Both posts above are what I do with stored vehicles. I keep a Damp-Rid desiccant bag in the garage too. It helps keep moisture low in storage. BTW - my boss has an Audi TT that she stores in winter and has this blow up bag for it. The car is driven into the bag, and it's zipped up around it. A...

Just for reference, an 80's model 442 in crappy shape was advertised on FB for over $20k. Decent Cutlass Supremes are in the $10-15k area. I think you are low-balling yourself. In fact, you might find its "forever" home if you raise the price a little. At $15k it will be hard for someone not to...

I saw someone mentioned VW Atlas and could not agree more. We road tripped my wife's car from NH to FL and back and that car was a dream to ride in and drive (I did most of the driving). But for a sportier version, what about the Audi Q7?

Funny this came up. NH just passed a bill to stop vehicle inspections, beginning in January 2026. The claim is that it is a hardship for residents and they are routinely gouged by repair shops. While I always found inspection time to be a bit stressful, I also feel like its well worth it. For me...

I respectfully disagree. The pricing is wildly affected by region and desirability. An aging GMT400 2wd with holes in the cab corners around here would not fetch much. Even running and driving well, it won't immediately pass inspection with body holes. In the Northeast, the state inspections...

That sucks. What about some cameras or motion lights? If you are having issues, maybe the neighbors are getting frustrated too. Maybe everyone would appreciate some very bright, obnoxious motion lights that wakes people up. I get woken up by my neighbor's light occasionally, usually due to a...

I have the 18v Milwaukee trimmer and its a beast! It will also power a broom, an edger, and paddle wheel. I have an older Echo with a steel blade, but it gets rarely used now.

I changed the oil in my 2023 GMC Canyon a little later than I wanted at about 2000 miles. Nothing but clean oil from the pan and on the filter element. I was oddly disappointed.
