    Do you "flash" to warn of police patrol ahead? Speeding content and rant.

    Add to this list drivers speeding and weaving in and out of cars to maintain said speed. also similar actions by motorcycle riders with very loud exhausts. Speeding pales in comparison to lack of lane discipline, use of directional signals, and the ability to smoothly merge into highway traffic.

    Do you "flash" to warn of police patrol ahead? Speeding content and rant.

    What about exceeding the posted limit on a limited access highway on a bright sunny day in very light traffic. Driving in the leftmost lane in a safe, well maintained car. How is that “aggressive”?

    5.7 Hemi -Tick coming from injector rails?

    Thanks for all the replies. My 2006 Magnum 5.7 does have MDS, but no VVT. I was relieved when the screwdriver on the valve covers revealed no noises out of the ordinary. It is likely just loud injectors, so as long as the noise doesn’t change, I won’t worry about it. Seems like every engine has...

    Small, V-6 powered coupes…miss them!

    I had a Dodge Stratus coupe. Basically a Mitsubishi Eclipse with Dodge bodywork. 200 HP Mitsu V-6 with a 5 speed manual. i put just under 300K miles on that car. Lots of fun and sounded great with a Borla exhaust.

    5.7 Hemi -Tick coming from injector rails?

    Thanks for the replies. I already chanced some broken exhaust manifold bolts. the noise is very loud with the screwdriver on the rail. Not so much anywhere else.

    5.7 Hemi -Tick coming from injector rails?

    So my 2006 Magnum with 110,000 miles on it has a ticking sound. Having read the “dreaded Hemi Tick” articles and posts, I’m hoping it’s not a disintegrating valvetrain. I got out the long screwdriver ( aka mechanics stethoscope) and both valve covers are quiet. Same for alternator, pvc valve...

    Lawn care

    Maybe I should mention that I have no neighbors on 3 sides? I can see where someone might not be happy if clover seeds waft over onto their lawn. the clover really does help the lawn look full, and like I said, is more resistant to dog urine, if that is an issue.

    2023 preowned Golf GTI S

    I have seen VW GTIs here in the Northeast going for $2K less than a brand new GTI. Apparently, GTIs hold their value.

    Lawn care

    Do some research on clover lawns. I have mixed clover in with my grass to a positive effect. Clover is more resistant to my dogs pee as well. if you do mix in clover, no more weed killer. You can spray dandelions and large weeds, but no spreading weed products or you will kill the clover. keep...

    Shop lights: are they all garbage?

    I replaced all the fluorescent fixtures in my garage with the 5000 lumen LEDs from Harbor Freight. installed 10 about 3 years ago, and no problems so far. Better light and they come on right away even in the cold.

    Walmart not wanting to deliver?

    Holy Highjack Batman, let’s get this back on track. Is anyone else noticing less free shipping over $35 on Walmart dot come, or is it just me? It seems something has changed over the last 6 weeks. Maybe they are pushing pickup in store to get some traffic for holiday impulse items in the...

    Walmart not wanting to deliver?

    I think this may be the case. I’ve ordered mostly the same items from walmart dot com before and received free 3 day shipping. Now, suddenly, these items are only available to pick up in store, or deliver for $9.95. I was able to get most of what I needed from Amazon at the same price but free...

    Walmart not wanting to deliver?

    I understand the third party seller situation. All the items that I had in my cart were at my local store, since Walmart offered free pickup at the store next day. They did not offer free shipping to my house even though the total of the cart was well beyond the $35 minimum for free shipping...

    Walmart not wanting to deliver?

    What is up with Walmart delivery lately? I read that WM wants to compete with Amazon and use their network of stores as delivery warehouses. I have had success buying oil and a few other thing, free delivery with a $35 order. The last 2 times I loaded my cart, the system would not give me...
