    Another blown H/K 2.4 engine

    I’ll pass that on to him. He did take it to the dealer. I only had a brief conversation with him but he said they asked about unrelated maintenance before saying it wasn’t covered. IDK if he expected it to be covered but a well maintained engine shouldn’t self destruct in 126K. We had a 2008...

    Another blown H/K 2.4 engine

    A friend of mine was driving from NY to Florida last week in his 2016 Kia Sorento with the 2.4 engine when his engine self destructed in North Carolina. He bought the vehicle new and did regular maintenance and had 126K on it. He had it flat bedded home and is awaiting an estimate because he...

    Commercials that you hate.

    I’m not sure what to think of regulating pharma ads…I do realize that big pharma is first and foremost a ‘business’ whose main goal is PROFIT rather than the health of the people but I normally oppose censorship. I’ve recently learned that the FDA receives a large amount of its funding from the...

    2021 Mazda 3 2.5 NA / Penn Ultra 0W20 5,167 mi / 60,767 mi

    When I owned my Buick with the 3.1 V6 I would get similar UOAs (signs of slight coolant intrusion). The 3.1 was known for having a poor intake manifold gasket design. I added a couple of Barsleaks tablets to the coolant which helped lower the potassium/sodium numbers in future UOAs. Something...

    Spirit Airlines and JetBlue planes struck by gunfire in Haiti

    'Most' being the key word. My wife went to PR with 3 other females before we were married and they were told not to venture into certain areas.....but the same can be said for most large American cities.

    Spirit Airlines and JetBlue planes struck by gunfire in Haiti

    I would say the people of Haiti have to start by demanding better leaders. It seems corruption has been rampant among the 'strongmen' who've been running the country for years. PS: I won't vacation in any country where I'm told to stay inside the resort for my own safety....that would include...

    STP Extended Life S6607XL

    I missed the part about 'work account' and thought you possibly found a good 'deal' someplace. The Champion XL filters at 'Rockauto' are less than $5 delivered if you buy a few to spread the delivery costs...I think the Champ XL PH2876XL is identical to the (older non PG) STP S6607XL.

    Subaru or Mazda?

    Thanks guys....My questions have been answered. I wanted to give every response a thumbs up but that would have been silly. I'll let her (the family member) decide by reading this thread.

    Subaru or Mazda?

    A family member asked me my thoughts on buying a new CUV and likes the Subaru Forester. I'm partial to Mazda (probably the CX-5 would be comparable to the Forester). Since I have not followed Subaru closely (but do like them) I have a few questions for Subaru guys. 1) I remember Subaru had...

    Her Highness just touched down

    Why should he if he paid into those systems.....it's those who get them without contributing that should 'give it back'.

    Insane Veterinarian bills

    Another pet item that has gone way up in price in the last 4 years is pet food. The 30 lb. bag of dog food that I paid $30 for in 2020 is now $48. I've seen some brands that are $80 for 30 pounds. The can food that I add to this dry food was $1 a can and now it's $2. Sadly, I'm sure many...

    Overhead a woman telling another woman her dream job is a Stay At Home Mom

    At the risk of sounding chauvinistic ....I think a lot of 'problems and dysfunction' in today's world is because there is often nobody home with kids.
