    Wonder if commercial airline pilots would come to a like conclusion with a 2023 Cadillac?

    Brings back memories. My dad owned one (72' I believe) when I began driving. That thing was huge. If I remember correctly it had a 429ci. with a 4 barrel carb. I remember getting it up to 100mph after dropping the parents of at the airport. Dumb kid!

    Is Wolfs Head oil considered an off brand

    Wolf's Head was a big seller in Michigan back in the 70's when I was a kid working at Murray's Auto Parts store. I recall my high school auto shop teacher (shout out to Mr. Zittleman) was a big fan of it. For some reason he thought that crude oil from Pennsylvania was superior to crude from...

    All Weather Tires for Crosstrek?

    The tread pattern is a good recipe for snow/ice. I put CC2's on my RX350 a couple of years ago. They handled the Michigan winter better than any of the many all season tires I've run while living in MI most of my life. To me, there wasn't any increase in noise over the OEM Michelin's installed...

    Has anyone here owned just American vehicles or foreign vehicles?

    I owned strictly "American" cars for the first 40 years of driving. Purchased my first Japanese car (Miata) because there really wasn't an American equivalent. Then, when I was able to afford a luxury vehicle, I got ticked off at the Lincoln dealer and went with a Lexus. So far the Mazda has...

    Looking for some thoughts on vehicle selection.....

    I can't recommend enough a Mazda Miata. Great fun to drive. Very reliable and easy to maintain. Excellent fuel economy. Beautiful to look at IMO, especially in soul red. Did I mention great fun to drive. This was my late 50's, "something special" car. I still look forward to hopping in it every...

    Photo resize help.

    Do you need to post from your phone, or, can you download the photo to your PC then upload to bitog from there? If you can use a PC, the standard Windows 11 photo editor has a resize option that's easy to use.

    Ear protection..

    I know it's repetitive, but, double up, soft ear plugs and cans. Take it from an old guy that used to shoot on a weekly basis in my youth. Even though my hearing is now diminished, I seem more sensitive to range noise. Last trip to the range the guy in the lane next to me brought out a .40 cal...

    What do you add to your lawn to keep it looking good?

    Milorganite 3 times per year. Early spring, early fall, late fall Grubex grub killer granules. End of May or early June This kept my lawn looking pretty good for 25 years. A few years ago I had a Crab Grass invasion, so, I had to add Weed control/Crab Grass killer liquid in early spring. I try...

    Have you ever regularly used public transportation?

    Rode the "Metro" train/subway in Washington DC every weekday for 2 years. Great experience. Very reliable. I've lived in Southeast Michigan for most of my life and the public transportation systems of buses has a terrible reputation for being unreliable and nasty. My experience in D.C. and...

    Can't decide what I hate more, the Mustang II or the new SUV crossover Mustang

    I owned the 1978 Cobra version of the mustang II with the 302 v8 and T-tops. Quite possibly the lowest horse power v8 ever produced!

    The mystery "failure"

    What was the weather like when this occurred? Snow or Ice on the roads? I had a similar symptom once in the old NB Miata in slushy weather. It wasn't obvious but slush had accumulated inside 2 of the wheels and frozen and made them severely out of balance.

    Premium car brand pricing; Lexus and Acura

    I suggest you consider Lexus Certified Pre-owned as well. The warranty extension terms are good, they bring the car to like new condition, and the dealership/service personnel treat you like a new car customer. I've been very happy with my 2017 RX350 that I bought 2 years old off of lease from...
