I have LE3 on my truck and my Xterra. I got them because they have great wet traction and it rains here a lot. There my go to, I had lots of LE2 also. The road force was really good on them , unlike my last set of generals.

It the patented Aisin 8 speed and the current iteration has been used all things Toyota / Lexus and a dozen other manufacturers - BMW, Audi, GM, Mitsubishi etc. since 2018. I have heard nothing but good about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisin%E2%80%93Toyota_8-speed_automatic_transmission

Coat around where the post exits liberally with some sticky grease - like tacky red - then use the little felt pads mentioned. Double stack them if you have enough post. Best I found so far.

Different situation but my 23 year old daughter - who has her own car and lives elsewhere - is listed as a driver on my policies. You could look into titling it to yourself. List it as “garaged” at her house. Call your insurance company - they should know the particulars.

Yet another solution in search of a problem.

Hard to go wrong with a RAV4 new. If you hate it in 2 years it’s still worth almost what you paid. We’re very happy with ours. However be careful how you title it. The ex might want half if the divorce isn’t final. Ask her divorce attorney first.

A bunch on X are touting rotation into IWM. Same narrative as last year - lower interest rates lift the zombie boats. Were you the one trading LMT?

South Carolina has privatized their DMV. It’s not significantly better. The issue as always is people showing up with the wrong docs or no paperwork then it takes someone forever to explain it to them.

Absolutely non of your lecture has anything to do with the relative wealth of generations and how that may or may not affect migration amongst states going forward. I posted a link to a well respected research firm. Feel free to believe your cocktail party research if it suits you. You have...

That is interesting. That might actually explain why everyone says that you need to change every plastic part in your BMW cooling system at 8 or 10 years?

2EHA destroys certain plastics and synthetic gaskets. It was a good corrosion inhibitor on cast iron but not so great with other materials. Prestone is also generally an OAT, which is fine just not generally as good as a HOAT or PHOAT which is what most Asian formula's are. I believe...

My point was that test doesn't really tell you anything. Its not a good test. It was discussed here at length when it was new. There is likely a happy median in flow vs filter performance. Where that is I do not know, but that test doesn't tell you anything about it either.

I am certain I would just collapse.

You are the one saying younger people didn't work hard enough or wasted there money. Thats very personal and directed and not founded in facts. I simply responded to someone else that "Gen X can't afford to retire" thats pointing to macro economic statistics regarding savings rates across...

Education could be one of the biggest benefactors of AI if they did it right. Learning in a classroom at the same pace as everyone else is a waste - I am talking adult ed not children. You either want to learn or you do not. The government should figure out what skills the country needs...

Years ago I used a guy moonlighting to pull an engine and do one head. It had one bad valve but the head wouldn't come out in the car - the head bolts hit the firewall. I paid what he said was his actual time - at half the rate shops in the area charged. I paid cash and I think we were both...

Fair. But there is more nuance to it. Methodology pre ww2 isn't comparable - calculations and estimates. So economists call post WW2 "the modern era". In the modern era highest unemployment rate is around 8% ish - in the 70's and early 80's. Were currently at 4.2% so yes, a far cry away...

Will it matter? Someone in the world will embrace it, and it will all go there if needed. That place has traditionally been here, or someplace here. You can't stop it.

I think the difference is that all those things started at the bottom of the skill set. Steam engines replaced ox teams, for example. It will be interesting to watch, to say the least.

No one. This is exactly what China has been doing to American inventors for 40 years. I am not saying that justifies anything, but no one stopped the Chinese either. They are suing. My guess is like all class actions any money won goes the the lawyers - who should also be replaced by AI...
