    Fast food dynamic pricing?

    Meh. Whatever. Seems like prices already go up daily. You'll figure out when it's a better time for lunch.

    Please help me understand Extended Oil Drain motor oils

    Gosh, at 3K the oil isn't even broken in yet. Why not just change it at 500 miles? That would be better, right?

    Tomorrow's weather forecast for Illinois.... not sure if I laugh or cry.

    Yes. May be the warmest day of February ever. 55 degree temperature changes aren't normal, but nothing has been this winter....

    Spiced Coke

    Maybe. Pibb is labeled as "spicy" and Pepper is marketed as "23 flavors" or something. I just don't know why you are creating a "spiced" Coke when you already have a "spicy" cola. But I don't understand a lot of what Coke does. (and I'm not really a consumer either)

    Annoying neighbor

    Having to deal with things like this Just acknowledge it's on his property If he wants to remove what's on his property, go right ahead. I wouldn't help the process at all.

    Spiced Coke

    I thought that's what Mr. Pibb was, but I see they've created a new flavor. Kind of weird for a brand that's discontinued nearly half of it's products.

    2012 Santa Fe Kirkland 5W30 12K miles

    Nice report. I'd just keep doing what you are doing. Now you know if something comes up at 12k and you can't get to the change, there's no need to rush or worry about it. (y)

    Post Your Internet Speeds >>>>

    I remember on page 2 I was content with my 50Mbps (testing at 59Mbps) at $40/month with AT&T. Since then AT&T and I got a divorce (as they went to $72) and I moved to XFinity. The plan is 200M at $35/month, but I added $10 to it for unlimited data. This test was with two televisions...

    Any Carmax fan

    Carmax is fine. A lot of people just want to go buy a car. That's it. With some of the recent history of dealership behavior, I'd expect Carmax to become more popular.

    Septic Tank Service

    It's been a bit, but I seem to remember a 1000G pump being around $250. If I extrapolate that with 50% more volume and inflation, it looks like you paid a good price. I used to be like @walterjay, but moved more indoors for current work duties.....

    Naming Vehicles

    Of course! The family calls the cars by their name: "Ellie" Edge "Maddie" Mustang "Sonya" Sonata I even put their names on the UOA forms, maintenance apps, and folders for documentation. Not doing custom plates though.

    How often do you wash your car in an automatic car wash?

    As needed during the winter. Try to use touchless bays, but will do the traditional. One place near my office has $.20 off a gallon and I parlay it with my standard card $.10 off. 15 gallons at $.20 off is $3, so the wash truly only costs me $4. In summer, all vehicles are washed by hand -...

    Fast Food Reward Points

    The McD app and points are the best. I have 5-6 apps in that genre. They were doing B1G1F on sandwiches and you'd earn another free one after buying six. So it was buy six, eat thirteen. Jersey Mikes is also a sneaky app as you only buy on double points days, so it takes four buys to get one...

    Why do you watch the Super Bowl?

    It's a reason to eat unhealthy food and drink. ;)

    Do you drink filtered water

    No. Serviced by one of the most extensive treatment facilities in the country and a "Great" source of water. The two years I lived on a place that had municipal wells, I only drank bottled. Can't do it.

    Ever been fired? Laid off or let go?

    I was let go from one job. I worked as hard as I could to prevent it from happening. But when it happened, I think everyone in the room knew it was the best thing for me. I took the winter off and went skiing and my career has been nothing but positive since (and I am earning 4X what I did at...

    How long does the AMSOIL UOA usually take?

    I've had four samples run. It's usually about four weeks to get results.

    14 steaks you should avoid.

    This is so wrong. Skirt steak can be made to be delicious. Properly marinated tri-tip off the grill is hard to beat. Flat irons can also be quite tasty. You can't put strip steaks on a list like this. Geez.

    They have over 90% of them back in service. Just choose your seat more carefully ;)

    Plumbing rates ?

    This is funny. I see quotes all the time in my line of business. I've seen people pay over $10,000 for a standard 40 gallon replacement. Why? Because that company has fancy commercials. A local guy I know will do it for total strangers for $2,400. Get multiple quotes!!
