Nope…Walmart came to town and forced out many long time, local small businesses. Then they made many workers part time with no benefits which forced many to seek additional gov’t assistance. Poor and struggling, forced to shop at Walmart…..wait a minute, maybe it’s a genius, diabolical move!

Black coffee only...sugar and creme absolutely ruin it. It's true, once you go black you can never go back. The benefit is I can drink coffee anywhere...but people I know who have to have their different synthetic sweeteners, creme, etc. can't drink their coffee if they don't have all their...

my new Toro with that Briggs engine came with a bottle of Toro straight 30 weight oil to use. It recommends a 5 hour oil change at first and does recommend oil changes. It says you 'can' just top off but certainly recommends changing the oil. I will definitely be changing the oil. It only takes...

man, when I was kid in the 80's I subscribed to Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Road & Track and the 'new' Automobile magazine. A few years later I also got the weekly Motorweek. Good times...

I just replaced my 20 year old Toro Recycler (sent it to my elderly Mother's house where I'll use it to mow her lawn) with a new one. I have loved my old Recycler (has over 500 hours on it) but this new one is a much cheaper version. Much lighter weight and everything on the motor but the block...

used BMW's are relatively inexpensive to buy but can be very expensive to maintain.

58 and strangely enough started doing a lot more wrenching on my own cars in the past few years. My body is not beat up like a lot of guys I know. I started working out a few years ago, that has made a huge difference. So feeling good and still enjoying wrenching (on my own stuff, occasionally!)

my ex company vehicle, 2023 Ford Edge, had vinyl seats....Ford promoted it as a good thing. My current Pathfinder has 'leather' seats but the reality is about 80% of the seat is vinyl. Only the part your butt is on and your lower back touches is actually leather. It's a scam to call them leather...

nice find! I just picked up an '06 in January with 214K. Replaced all fluids, gaskets and o rings...man, those things like their o rings! Your under valve cover looks a lot better than mine.

I used to use Rejex a number of years ago but got lazy and started using the Turtle Wax Hybrid ceramic spray wax when I pull my wheels to change between summer and winter wheels. A good cleaning and 2 coats of the spray wax and they stay very nice and are easy to clean. I do the entire wheel...

my 2014 Caravan with 3.6 has a different filter design than the ones from a year or two prior...does your 'new' Wrangler ('24 or '25?) use an updated design? Are you comparing filters for the same year vehicles?

well, based on your user name you're probably not the target market for a lot of those insect styled bikes! I agree with some of the crazier designs but we're also in a golden age of bikes, from modern to retro styled. Look at Honda's mini moto offerings, what a throwback! How about Triumph or...

I had a Journey of that era as a company car...with the 4 cyl. Second slowest car I've ever owned (next to the original '82 Chevy Cavalier). You couldn't catch someone on a 50cc scooter in that thing, and Interstate on ramps were dangerous. Journeys are junk and the 4 cyl makes it an even worse...

I do this on my Caravan with Pentastar....2x yearly oil changes around 3K, each, changing the filter every other oil change. I want to minimize the times I tighten and loosen the plastic filter housing cap, knowing these **** things can break and leak.

straight 30W for the first hour and swap the Torch plug for an NGK. The 'oil' that came in mine from the factory didn't look like any oil I had seen...so out it went before the initial run.

not sure what caused it to be a back breaker? If the rubber augers are worn below spec it won't self propel and I could see that being a back breaker. With good augers all it takes is a slight lift on the handle and it will pull itself away from you, faster than you can walk in a light snow...

I'm used to wintergreen oil being an ingredient in the soup you use to soften up old, hardened motorcycle carb boots. Never tried it but have read many good results.

the 3650 (Snow Commander) had the higher horsepower motor...same motor only the engine speed was turned up from 3800 rpm to 4000 rpm (approx). I adjusted engine speed up on my 2450 to match the 3650 output. I think mine is a 2005 model that I bought off craigslist in 2015 for $100. Fires up...

I have a Toro 2 stroke single stage and big Ariens 2 stage....I use the Toro probably 95% of the time. Faster and much easier to use than the 2 stage. The Toro has the R Tek motor (old Lawn Boy 2 stroke) and that thing is a beast!

on my 2008 Outback with the 2.5 my Mityvac would only pull about 2.5 quarts out.
