    New Rider Eager to hear from long timers.

    I ride purely for fun. Is it dangerous? Of course it is...but I feel the joy of riding far outweighs the danger. Like others have said, don't ride at night, stay out of busy traffic, wear ear protection, always wear your gear and keep practicing! While riding is dangerous there are lots of...

    Construction - Vintage Warning

    My family's dealership had the old WW2 antiaircraft spotlight truck that would shine the light up in the sky all summer. The wild thing was that the light came from a small flame and the illumination was all from the giant mirrored reflector in the spotlight.

    Purchasing a car after lease

    the leasing company owns the car, not the dealer. You should have a buyout price up front on the day you signed the lease...no such thing as dealer markup on a lease purchase. Total BS. Don't fall for it.

    Your Color Choice For Primer

    I painted a model car a few years back in bright red. Part of the car had white primer and part had dark gray. The same red top coat was a completely different color depending which primer color was under it. I wouldn't have thought it mattered until I saw the results myself.

    Newcastle Brown Ale replacement?

    I have been enjoying Big Sky Brewing's Moose Drool Brown Ale, lately..very tasty. Disappointing to hear about Newcastle....as I love beer but strongly dislike the super hoppy IPAs. It seems like the race to the bottom for hoppy beers has been driven by the Millenials, who seem to love their...

    is the fabric protectant offered by

    the dealer applied fabric protectant is not much different than Scotchguard...the difference is you're buying a 'warranty' against future stains that you will very likely never, ever make a claim on. I don't ever recall a customer coming back to make a claim on their stained interior (or faded...

    Insights on commission paying jobs?

    Sales success is about more than just good industry knowledge. Do you have thick skin? Are you easily frustrated? Do you have great communication skills and 'people skills'? Are you self motivated and have a killer drive to succeed? Can you handle ups and downs in your income? Sales isn't for...

    why did the set price car dealerships

    the no haggle dealer model failed because consumers would get their 'best price' and then go shop it. Any dealer around would usually be able to beat the price by a hundred or hundreds of dollars. Car buyers are conditioned to always want a better deal than they are first offered.

    Tree fallout damage

    Many years ago (1989) I had a Beretta GT that I parked under a tree. It rained one night causing many leaves to fall and stick all over the car. The next day the sun came out and baked them in...when I removed the leaves the clear coat looked like it had fossilized imprints of the leaves in it...

    Long line at the air pump

    back before I got my own compressor I used to measure my tire pressure cold then drive to the station with the free air. At the station I'd check the pressure again. However much higher it was than cold (usually just 1 or 2 psi higher) I'd just add that same amount on top of the recommended cold...

    OK to run mower with out shroud?

    I think we all need to understand the definition of the OP’s ‘shroud’....my walk behind mower has a red, plastic decorative ‘shroud’ over the motor...for looks only. Under the red, plastic decorative shroud is the metal shroud that is attached to the engine and is responsible for directing...
