Alright, first of all, thank you all for your suggestions. He went with a Cub Cadet. He ordered one with a Kohler but got a Briggs somehow. He is going to stick with it. He is not going to change his mind.

He had a self propelled and didn't like it. He can push faster than it will drive.

How long do the batteries last before they have to be replaced and how much does it cost to replace them?

Wpod, so are you saying higher price on B&S equals more reliable or spend more for a non B&S. I will have to ask on the yard size, it's a good size yard but doesn't require a riding mower. I don't know what shape the body is in, it's had a B&S Quantum itself, it was around 10 years old. He...

My friend's lawnmower gave up the ghost. He says he likes my 2010 troy built 21" B&S Quantum mower. Based off of what I've seen, it appears that Briggs & Stratton got rid of the quantum engine. I'm hearing The new engines have issues. I know Honda tends to be a favorite but I'm not sure if there...

Originally the rough ride wasn't a problem, until she fell and injured herself. As to why women buy jeeps, if I figure out women I will be sure to write a book and make a fortune. They are confusing. I know General is owned by Continental, it's not a dislike for the company as a whole, it's a...

It currently has procontact tx. She doesn't need anything remotely all terrain. The type of crossover she would have been better off with would have been a RX350. This is sort of a last ditch attempt to rectify a mistake that she will likely not learn a thing from. She got this against my...

My experience with the four I listed are that they are anything but soft. They tend to be very firm and she needs the opposite. It has Continentals and they are very stiff as has every set we have ever used. The more like a marshmallow, the better.

A relative is needing new tires for her 19 Cherokee. The priorities are as follows: 1. Soft and smooth ride for on pavement driving. 2. Decent in snow and ice. 3. Reasonably priced. No Michelins, Continentals, pirelli's, Bridgestone. My gut reaction is to look at Mastercraft or Generals as...

Wait a minute, I thought the RWD versions of the Cyclone (Duratec) had the exterior water pump that was Not driven by the timing chain.

It's a shame they couldn't have kept the original ultra/Titanium with whatever price adjustment needed and made the new Ultra/Titanium under a different name. Come to think of it, given how the Ultra did better in the tests, why not keep that line running and have RP and Amsoil rebadge those?

What was wrong with them?

Excellent explanation! Thank you!

That is certainly something that has changed. Back then, lots of higher end sports cars had Goodyears as factory tires Ferrari and Corvettes (even the Viper ALMOST had Goodyears as Chrysler had a contract with Goodyear yet Bob Lutz reportedly gave Lee Iacocca a ride with Michelins and sold him...

I was just thinking about how Goodyear has a negative reputation to where no one really seems to recommend them on here and at what point they acquired the status as they to date have outlived all their domestic competitors in terms of being independent (not owned by tire companies from outside...

I don't remember the exact mileage but my parents got I think close to 70,000 miles on a set of t-rated Cooper CS5 Grand touring. This was on a 13 Grand caravan. They've had a few of those vehicles as my dad had a couple for work purposes. They tend to be hard on tires as well. The initial...

Hmmm, so the question is which will this age more like. A Cooper? Or a good year?

Nobody makes a car with a truly overbuilt bulletproof engine or a overbuilt body on frame platform that can take that level of abuse anymore.

I appreciate the advice. I will ultimately go with what works with my back. If I can't use it as a commuter, I may have one for vacations as I usually visit rural areas and just revive a 90s LH car for commuting purposes only as I would assume thieves aren't interested in those anymore. I will...

??? Not sure what you meant by that
