    NY auto inspection

    The “Readiness Monitors” are required to be set or complete. Look at an online forum for your particular requirements. Things like, X amount of time above 45 mph but below 60 with no cruise control and varying acceleration loads, etc.

    Attic radiant barriers

    We used a very similar material about 7 - 8 years ago in conjunction with additional attic insulation. We also wrapped exposed ductwork (insulated flex-duct) and added ridge vents to our ranch style here in N. Texas and you will notice a difference. Not a large financial load up front but do it...

    Michelin Defender LTX MS or General Grabber HTS60

    The Defender LTX M/S replaced the LTX M/S 2; the tread design appears the same but the compound has changed slightly to mitigate the sidewall micro-cracks that Michelin seems to be prone to (at least that was my understanding of the conversation with my local Discount Tire) I have had the LTX...

    Are pets/animals an important part of your life?

    Life has always seemed incomplete without them as part of the fabric of your life. I've had a couple over the years that were absolutely extraordinary, not that the others weren't great. As most fathers with daughters already know, when your daughter has picked a young man and she tells you he...

    stp oil treatment other uses?

    Once upon a time, we used it to coat flat tappet cams during buildup if we didn't have anything else. Has great cling quality, very similar to Motor Honey if they still sell that. Always did the trick for us.

    How well does Redline Oil clean engine varnish?

    I found an old picture of my Olds V-8 small block taken at 88K miles while replacing the intake valley pan type gasket and cleaning out the EGR passages. This engine had a steady diet of Redline 10W-30, I lived in Florida at the time and the car saw quite a bit of highway driving and was kept in...

    Silicone spray on new filter?

    Honda OEM filters seem to be treated with some kind of tack/oil in the filter media and catch dirt much better than aftermarket. At least in my wife's Accord in my signature and my parents' 2003 Accord V6; cost a little more than aftermarket but seem to do a better job...throttle bodies stay...

    Post pictures of you in the Military.

    I'm the tall one. This was taken at a Saudi AB near the Jordan border in 1990 for a joint SAR tactics exercise. Best job I ever had.

    Do you keep separate accounts being married?

    We keep a joint account for living expenses...house payment, monthly bills, food, vet bills...you get the idea. We also have our own accounts for fun/everyday, fuel, car insurance, etc.; we also set aside monthly amounts for home remodel stuff and so on. 401K, and payroll related...

    Top tier or ethanol free

    My Tacoma gets about 2 mpg better on average on the highway on E0; tested/tracked many times on a 380 mile one-way trip to central Kansas. I have made that trip about 3-4 times a year for 7+ years. E0 is available at home and in Salina, KS so I don't mind the upcharge. When my mileage id good...

    Land Rover Evoque

    My daughter bought a used (34K miles) 2012 a few months ago. Looks kind of Space Age on the inside. Owned by an elderly gentleman, I put a new battery in it...THAT was a chore; oil filter can be exciting to get out, you need a transmission funnel to catch the overflow oil when you unscrew it so...

    Productive day off!

    Congrats! Looks good; I lived in Navarre for 11 years while stationed at Hurlburt Field once upon a time. I still miss "The Emerald Coast" Nothing equals Grilled Amberjack!

    Acura Legend ATF recommendation

    Redline D4 will make your Honda/Acura very happy and unless you drive it extremely hard, allow you to push the drain and fill intervals. Redline is a little more expensive...especially in the case of a 3x drain and fill conversion, but worth it in my opinion. We had a 2004 Accord V6 sedan that...

    Accept paypal as payment for motorcycle?

    I personally wouldn't. Cash or certified funds. All she has to do is contact Paypal and tell them there is a problem with the vehicle; your funds are then frozen until the dispute is resolved. You could have her sign a bill of sale that states - "As-Is" "No Refunds" See if that works for the buyer.

    Changing to Bilstein shocks strategy

    I have the 5100 series on the Tacoma in my signature. One of the 2 best things I did to my truck, the other was Michelin LTX M/S2 tires. Put them on and don't look back; you'll wish you did it sooner
