    Video on not taking social security at age 65

    I just turned 54 and my plan is to take it as early as possible. Men in my family tend to pass in the lower to mid 80s from dementia and or Alzheimer’s, my mother also has it so living to be Warren Buffets age is unlikely.

    Toyo oil viscosity - 0W16

    It’s new and winter gas is in effect. This fall I was averaging 49 mpg in my corolla cross hybrid. It is rated at 45 city, so it is beatable. But it is not as good this time of year. Also light on throttle is less useful with a hybrid, you can surge to speed and coast. Practice surge...

    Toyo oil viscosity - 0W16

    No once is wearing out a hybrid rav 4 running 0w16. Base your interval on use. When I was commuting 90-100 miles a day I ran this 10k intervals and didn’t sweat it.

    M1 0W-40 FS SP 4k mi; BMW 2011 328I 240k mi

    I see no reason to draw any conclusions. Certainly can run this longer.

    Are EVs the death of the performance ICE market?

    I enjoy my hybrid driving dynamics more than ice vehicles and I am 53 years old. The EVs can be **** quick. The torque of an electric motor is so satisfying. I see mustangs and challengers with loud “performance exhaust or open pipes, and they just appear to move slow…loud and slow. I...

    Dow jones at record high, but many stocks are not?

    Did you know that Buffet wants his wife who does not know much about investing to invest almost 90% in the S&P 500? https://moneywise.com/investing/warren-buffett-wifes-inheritance-investment. You can beat most investors by following the advice he just gave for his wife’s inheritance.

    Dow jones at record high, but many stocks are not?

    He probably made a lot of gains and this is a good time trim some off the gains and invest elsewhere. Just good profit taking/rebalancing of an investment that has grown well, which is a good risk abatement strategy.

    Dow jones at record high, but many stocks are not?

    Not advice, just what I do. set my allocation to maximize Sharpe and Sortino ratios. Have 5 mutual funds I focus on in my retirement accounts. Not an expert not even close, but I use data from the long haul for the long haul but still feel I can take another downturn. The past 10 years growth...

    Do hybrids last as long as naturally aspirated engine and do they make sense?

    Starting with the 2020 model year, every hybrid battery warranty is being increased from 8 years or 100,000 miles, to 10 years from date of first use, or 150,000 miles whichever comes first.

    Do hybrids last as long as naturally aspirated engine and do they make sense?

    They are both ecvt via a planetary gear set. There are a lot of you tube videos and websites that describe how they work. Toyota calls it a CVT for simplicity. (Most car buyers would not understand the differences..doesn’t make it exactly correct but when you dive in to understand the...

    Do hybrids last as long as naturally aspirated engine and do they make sense?

    Nope, but there are different applications and generation in the lineup. The current hybrids such as Prius, Corolla cross hybrid, Corolla hybrid, rav 4 hybrid and Camry use the same planetary gear parallel hybrid design ( not sure about the crown the grand highlander but the trucks such as...

    Do hybrids last as long as naturally aspirated engine and do they make sense?

    The annual fuel cost difference for me commuting in my pair off Tacoma vs the hybrid is just 1700 a year. But I needed another vehicle anyway so my wife can drive the Tacoma for domestics during the week and we swap on the weekend f I go fishing or need to do,some work.. But if you aren’t...

    Toyota Crown takes 0w8 oil

    Wow, this thread has been a spastic reaction to change. My impression when I joined BITOG years ago was that it was science based, and evidence based. I am starting to see more dogma than evidence in some conversations. Perhaps much thinner oils with emerging technology could have great...

    MOTUL HYBRID 0W-8 VOA or UOA?

    For those who haven’t driven the newest generation Toyota hybrids, the engine runs less, even at highway speeds. Many times at 70 mph it will run quite a bit in Ev mode at 65 it runs 50-50 on my morning commute. Duty cycle is much different. The dealer put 0w8 in the cross hybrid las oil...
