While you can choose to do that, I never did once. The first 2 times I used my credit card and they changed to Paypal for whatever reason. It was never something I selected. The 3rd time I removed Paypal from my account entirely so they could only use the credit card that I wanted used...

So then why did Google have no issue using my credit card to setup the service plan? Issue is clearly not with my credit card, which I use for multiple things like every day purchases as well as paying bills. The only problem is them doing the phone order, which I also do not understand why it...

I was planning on switching from Tmobile to Google Fi due to both Tmobile raising it monthly fees on older plans and the fact that my parents needs new phone after about 5 years on their current ones. Got signed up for the plan without any issues and put in the order for 4 new phones for each...

Premium is recommend and while the PCM can detect knock and compensate for it to allow running on 87, that doesn't mean knock still can't occur and damage the engine. There is a separate set of table for low and high octane spark advance in the tune, if it detects enough knock it will switch to...

No option for contacting them and giving it to them manually? I've had to do this with my 03 C&R license for some online purchases as I don't show up as a full FFL that can accept anything. Not to mention also having to send them my IL drivers license and FOID/CCW license because Chicago ruins...

Speed of light doesn't work this way. Effects of relativity apply. You'll have to do some reading on General Relativity for this one.

Either find a shop that will use your filter or change the oil yourself. There is no time or money to be saved by having a shop do a full oil change, then spending the time to swap the oil filter. Also, in the first post "This is a contingency plan in case the garage (an auto store chain...

Run a dehumidifier and route the hose outside. Its what I do in my garage to keep the humidity down in both the winter and summer. My 3 stall garage is fully insulated and I have window AC units for cooling and then use the infrared heaters to keep the garage around 50F in the winter. If I...

EFI without question. I've rarely seen a ECM/PCM fail and on the rare occasion they do its not due to the design. I've only had 1 PCM fail fully on me during my almost 30 years of doing modding/tuning on car computers and that was a 94 Z28 LT1 PCM that I modified to be able to reprogram the...

Stopping using them after the last time I ordered parts from them and they send me a bunch of parts without labels or part #s that didn't fit the vehicle and they expected me to pay to ship them back to them. Ending up having to file a charge back with my credit card to get all my money back...

I was able to see the $8.22 price after adding to my cart. Too bad there are none in stock at the store closest to me, I'd have to drive over a hour to the closest store that have any in stock.

I run it in my truck as a 50/50 mix with regular 87 octane, saves money over using premium. Only time I generally fill up with premium anymore is if I am taking a long trip as you do see a 20-30% decrease in mileage, especially on the highway at high speeds. City driving has less of a mileage...

The OReilly in my town still turns rotors/drums as far as I know. Personally I haven't bothered trying to have a rotor turned in a very long time as they are usually so rusted and worn that there isn't much left of them to turn when brakes are needed. Just replace the rotor and anything else...

Did the front axles on my brothers 99 Suburban just before winter. Yes, I got out my torque wrench and made sure to torque them to proper spec. Doing anything else is just asking for major issues later down the road. Torque wrenches are not that expensive and necessary tool when working on...

Around here I would go with NAPA. Then Advance. The Autozone and Oreilly are always hit and miss when it comes to the people behind the counter. At least when I go to NAPA I know the guys have some idea of what I'm talking about and are very helpful. Course this will probably vary based on...

I don't remember if it was from RockAuto or not but back when I was fixing up my 89 Camaro after I purchased it I ended up having to order a full cat back exhaust due to the old one being rusted out. No issues with it being shipped, muffler was in a separate box and the long pipes and hardware...

Sometimes capacitors don't blow entirely and will still partially work. See that a lot in electronics with swollen electrolytic caps, especially certain years and models of motherboards. You will get all sorts of weird things going on with the computer, like errors and crashes. Open the case...

Yep, Chicago loves to do everything in metal. Remember that from my old job when I was up there for work and the electricians for the project had to bring in all their stuff to run the wires through metal conduit. They still managed to get it all done in about the same amount of time as...

2 plates are required and you can't put them in the window in IL. You'll get a ticket without question, especially in any smaller town where the cops are always looking for violations to make money off of. Makes the front license plate holder on my 94 Z28 worth a lot of money if you want an...

You could use QoS to limit down/upload speed on devices. That would be a lot easier than trying to block individual programs like games.
