    Beautiful A-10 WartHog in black.

    I couldn't agree more. I took my first flight in my grandfather's 1963 Bonanza P35 when I was 2 weeks old. He's still flying to this day.

    Ordered 2021 RAM Limited

    Do you really need a block heater on a gas engine in Wisconsin? I've never been to Wisconsin so please excuse me if that's a dumb question.

    Snapper or Cub Cadet?

    When I was looking, a Deere cost maybe $200 more than an equivalent Cub Cadet. I ended up going with the Deere because of the dealer and parts availability. I can just walk in, ask for what I need, they make sure I get the right part, and I have it immediately. Finally, if you don't want to...

    Snapper or Cub Cadet?

    If you want to stay in a similar price range (sub $3k) you're probably looking at a 200 series Deere. I have an S240 and it's a similar machine to the ones you listed: Kawasaki v-twin, K46, etc... As mentioned above, the biggest reason to get a Deere is the dealer network and parts availability.

    2022 Ford Maverick

    I watched his video, as well as Tommy from TFL (he's 6'1" I believe) and they both had their knees jammed into the back of the drivers seat. Believe it or not, a rear facing child seat requires a lot more space than a 6' tall human.

    2022 Ford Maverick

    I'd like to see how car seats fit in the back seat. I think rear legroom may be the only thing holding this back from being a hit with families.

    2022 Ford Maverick

    They're not mutually exclusive, I have both on my F-150. Ford offers the keypad as an option on a lot of their vehicles. Keyless entry/ignition is standard on the Lariat trim level of the Maverick.

    UNREASONABLE: I fear getting under a car on a lift, or even on jack stands.

    I'm not crazy about getting under vehicles either. One thing I did to ease my mind was replace my cheap 3 ton jack stands with double locking 6 ton jack stands.

    2022 Ford Maverick

    It blows my mind that this is the first thing people think about when they see these pictures.

    5W-30 vs. 10W-40 in Kawasaki Engine - Thoughts?

    I have a FS600V. I've used 5w-30 synthetic and 10w-40 syn blend without any issues. I wouldn't hesitate to use your stash. Here is the FS600V oil recommendation:

    Fuel shortage

    Things are getting a little dicey here. We have 4 stations near by and so far one is out of gas, and people are lining up at the other 3.

    Put off building shed?

    As you said, I don't have a crystal ball, but I don't think prices are going to drop anytime soon. The high prices are a combination of high demand for new construction along with reduced production due to the pandemic. Even when production returns to normal levels (maybe it already has) I think...

    Considering 2017 Ford F-150: problems to look for?

    You might want to drive them all before you decide. I actually liked the 2.7L the best but all of the Lariats with adaptive cruise control in my area had the 3.5L or the 5.0L.

    Oil type and interval for Ford PowerBoost Hybrid

    This is correct, fuel dilution in the Ecoboost is the reason for the short interval. If the hybrid is doing a ton of start stop it's probably even more important to stick to a 5k interval. As others have mentioned, Castrol Magnatec at 5k oci is pretty much the go to for this engine.

    Haha, understood. Enjoy your new toy.

    Delta Buys a Beater

    Maybe this is a dumb question, why are you trying to keep miles off a Tacoma and a Camry?

    Couldn't take it anymore

    As others I've had the same experience, it depends much more on the specific model than the manufacturer as a whole. Goodyear Adventure AT w/ Kevlar have been great, Goodyear SR-A were slippery in any type of wet condition. Bridgestone Alenza Plus were great, Bridgestone Turanza EL400 were the...

    Oil & Common Sense for Small Engines

    My truck takes synthetic 5w-30 so I use that in my OPE just to keep it simple.
