    Considering VP Racing "Street Legal" 10w-30 synthetic blend oil.

    Car insurance

    All you can do is find a good independent agent or broker with a wide array of companies and shop your policy. While you will never know for sure until you try, you will probably find it difficult to beat Erie.

    Anyone ever order an exhaust from Rockauto?

    Ordered a full Walker exhaust, cats and all for my 2003 Ranger. It went without a hitch, and the prices were the best that I could get anywhere.

    I can't say with 100% certainty, but I have a year old NAPA Legend in my Accord that looks exactly like that. According to the guy at NAPA it was a Clarios.

    Having a key cut by a dealer

    Unless things have changed in the past several years, you need 2 working keys to do it yourself. Otherwise, it is a dealer procedure.

    Walmart EverStart batteries longevity?

    I was pleasantly surprised yesterday. The Costco Interstate in my pickup had not been holding a charge well. So since we had a 55 degree day yesterday, I broke out my never used, no-name battery tester from Amazon that I purchased as the result of a tip from here. After an extended period on the...

    Comp shingle for old home

    Anybody and anyone can overcharge. That is why it is incumbent upon people to do their own due diligence. However what you generally get from an Amish business is integrity, attention to detail, and pride in their workmanship. I solicited five estimates for the roof that I had installed. The bid...

    Comp shingle for old home

    I pulled the paperwork from the Amish company that did our roof. They would have installed a metal roof from a vendor named Premier Metals. It would have been their Premier Rib series, custom made with 26-28 ga. steel, depending on color. Their price was $14070, vs. the $12867 price on the...
