    Who's into base models?

    The truck in my sig is a W/T poverty spec. I even still shift the transfer case *gasp* manually. I like it better this way. My e90 is also a base. I MUCH prefer the single hump dash to the dated looking early I-Drive double hump. 90% of the online car builds I option when daydreaming online are...

    Mouse trap season. Which is better? Peanut Butter vs. Nutella?

    I use dry walnuts and almonds in my Victor Quick-Kill traps. Super easy, and very effective. I am pretty much surrounded by farm fields and usually have a new carcass or two every other day in my garage.

    First HDEO oil you used?

    Back in my highschool days(early 2000's) I used to think Rotella T 15w40 was God's gift to diesel engines.

    Plaid still has horrible brakes

    Sounds like some big Altima energy right there.

    Mobil 1 fan

    I don't think you're not a Mobil 1 fan, more a periodic oil change fan. Funny how well these machines hold up with a little bit of TLC.

    Chevy Express Pricing and 6-Speed Trans

    "Is this normal? And that said, at 150K, is the 6-speed just a few miles from destruction?" The 6L80 trans is generally only unreliable when it is behind an engine equipped with AFM. This is because it is programmed to allow for slip in the torque converter clutch, which smoothes out transition...

    Explorer engine options

    Hahaha, I feel this comment. My wife's escape is 3.0/6F35, and boy is that transmission drunk. It's all over the place, has been since new. Easily the goofiest trans tuning I've ever experienced. It's still going strong with 175k on it. That is 175k worth of joy-free *** are you doing? miles.🤔🙄

    RIP David Crosby

    Oh, man. David is a legend. An immense talent gone, and replaced by the likes of Cardi B, Lil Yachty, and the Island boys.

    Is Redline 5w30 the correct oil for my 2017 Mustang GT Weekend/Track Car Application

    First off, nice ride. Second, I think you would be fine with Redline 5w30. Or 5w40. Or 5w50. I think many people put way too much attention on viscosity, and not enough on more important things such as approvals. The early gen Coyotes are pretty resilient to oil, I have seen a number of guys...

    Open vs sealed gas burners.

    We use open flame LP cooktop, I'll never go back to using electrons. (Induction not withstanding)

    MKZ or Elantra?

    In my opinion, this is the best advise so far. Id drive the Lincoln for a little while, enjoy it, and then decide if you want to hang on to it, or move onto to something different. All while not completely losing your butt on depreciation. If you buy the Hyundai and hate the CVT, you're going...

    M1 EP 0w20/4000 miles/2020 Honda Accord 2.0T

    Sense of warranty concerns are clearly not an issue, I would bump up to my favorite 30 weight... a 0W-40.

    Anybody into RC’s?

    When I was a kid, my parents got me a Traxxas Rustler for Christmas, in kit form. The car literally came in a box full of parts and bolts. Everything had to be assembled. It turned out to be a great learning experience for me, and I had a blast running it (and repairing it). I wanted to get...

    My Acura Let Me Down

    Still rowing his own gears at 82. OP is a man of culture, I see.

    Switching back to 5W20 (SuperTech) for mpg!

    In all of my past or present vehicles, going from a w20 to a w40 oil yielded no improvement in engine response or mpg. I have tried this on a Mazda BP4W, Subaru FA20, Ford Duratec 3.0L, and jumped from a w30 to w40 on my Chevrolet L96. I tried to be open minded when testing, although I failed...

    Looks great. Keep giving her hell!

    Mazda 6 , 20W-50!

    LOL, like a w20 oil was going to help the 13B-MSP become a fuel sipper.

    Mazda 6 , 20W-50!

    I don't know if I agree with that. Don't get me wrong, we definitely get so nice options from time to time, but we don't get nearly the amount of choices that you do. Next to zero diesel options, too, which is a shame.
