    Another IT hardware manufacturer outsmarting the buyers of it’s products

    Best move I ever made was switching from ink jet to a Brother laser jet. No more overpriced cartridges that dry out if you don't use them frequently. The toner powder for the laser is good no matter how long it sits. And with the Brother there is no problem using refurbished toner cartridges...

    Cop in middle of road for speed trap?

    I saw it in Alabama on I-10 between Mobile and Pensacola last year right next to a Bucee's.

    McLaren Chevrolet

    I saw Denny Hulme and Peter Revson race the McClaren Can-Am cars at Road Atlanta in the early 70's. There were basically no rules regarding the cars and it produced some oddball's like the six wheel Shadow and the Jim Hall vacuum ground effect cars. The McClaren's ran a 500 C.I. big block...

    Oil Recommendation for GDI Honda J Series V6

    Unless Honda changed the capacity on the DI V6, the crankcase capacity on the V6 is 5 qts. (at least it is on my 2016 Acura) so the 6 qt box is not as convenient as a 5 qt. jug.

    Valve Cover Photos - 2016 Acura RDX w/161,000 miles

    My wife's 2016 RDX has 128,000 miles on it with the same oil change regimen as yours. I haven't had the valve covers off to look, but I suspect it is just as clean as yours. I replaced the PCV valve a few years ago as a maintenance item and it was still working fine. Burns absolutely no oil...

    Colorado or Canyon?

    Interiors are nicer the Canyon and I think the higher HP rated engine is standard in the Canyon. Not so in the base Colorado (WT?).

    Subway calls ‘emergency’ meeting with franchisees as sales plummet

    Agreed. Our local Texas Roadhouse has an early bird special of a 6 oz. sirloin, yeast rolls, and 2 sides (I get a salad and baked potato) for $13. Drink water and throw in a $3 tip and it's about the same cost as a hamburger combo at BK or McD's

    Raising compression on LS1 and other C5 mods over winter

    I haven't autocrossed in years but for autocross the best bang for your buck is tires and suspension. Getting the gearing right might be worthwhile but the little bit of HP you will gain from your proposed mods will not improve your times that much. If you are modifying your car you are no...

    New To Me Car

    I don't like the looks of this cam lobe.

    Help me pick an oil filter - Mazda SkyActive

    Not a reply to your oil filter question, but I am considering a Mazda CX-5 non turbo for my wife. She currently drives an Acura RDX with the 3.5 V6, with plenty of pep. It seems to me that a 2.5 4 cylinder in a mid-sized SUV is undersized. Does yours feel underpowered?

    Richard Petty's 1970 Superbird

    The board censors won't let you day "Richard" Landy?

    Zero turn experiences?

    Those who complain about zero turns tearing up the grass when turning need to use a 3 point turn. I make an initial cut around the perimeter of my lawn, which gives me a space to make the turn at the end of each row. I then make a 3 point turn to head the other direction. No wheel spin that...

    Anything holistically accurate or likely in this doom and gloom economic prediction.

    Substitute "someone" for "The U.S. Government" and "the interest alone on their debt exceeds their income." The interest on our $47 Trillion in debt is now almost equal to the Defense Dept. budget and will soon exceed spending on social programs. And we add another trillion in debt every 100...

    Bump stocks

    I don't have one and don't want one, but ignoring a Supreme Court decision would be quite a stretch.

    Bump stocks

    Didn't you hear that the Supreme Court ruled this week that the ATF classification of bump stocks was illegal? https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-guns-bump-stocks-b3bd1b4163d78514a6d5acc5b44c8b3d

    Lots of new Ram trucks rotting on dealer lots it seems

    You do know that Stellantis is a multi-national company. Ram makes up only a small portion of their total sales. Most of their profit center is in Europe so when the corporation reports profits and their stock price you must consider all of this.
