How do you find out what someone's "worth"? Send them a text?

I've always been so impressed by long shots. Not being condescending, but how much of a shot that long do you think comes down to luck? I mean you can't predict wind, or pockets of hot or cold air, etc.

If that's the case, then I think the fluid needs changed before an amount of "debris" becomes high enough that it starts to affect friction within the trans. "Debris" wears parts that you don't want to wear. 🥜

$2 product at 40% margin sells at $3.33. Profit $1.33. $4 product at 40% margin sells at $6.67. Profit $2.67. Cost doubles, profit doubles. This is how most businesses operate on an earth that is not flat.

Learning curve? Along the same lines of a 7 year old learning basic mechanics. I mean I've never used a portable boat toilet, but I think I could keep the 'stuff' in the bowl.

Yes, Chinazon does sell some things that are not made in China.

I'm just gonna say you lucked up and got non-harmful advice from a parts store clerk. Don't expect your luck to continue.

Now look up the % of people leasing. It's huge. Folks don't care - it's like money is meant to be spent NOW. Whatever. I hope they've got retirement.

Like the vent holes were one way...

I've hardly ever even bought new rotors, much less changed them just because I was changing pads. I've never had any braking problems but maybe I'm missing out. 😁 I like Centric Premium for fairly priced good brake parts.

He's getting closer to his competence level. Still far away though.

V8's of years past I've had that got the mileage of modern V6's show it's obviously not always a tradeoff.

It's like a political conversation between the two major cults. "So and so sucks" "Yeah, but your so and so sucks more"

1-3 are symptoms, not the cause. The problem is that cost isn't directly related to quality anymore. There is no feasible way for most people to figure out what's good and what's not. This is in general. Another guy once advised to buy the biggest, lowest CCA battery because they had less...

So California isn't having any of this snowflake, living off the gov't stuff going on. They'll stop your comp payments and roll you out on the streets like the... wait... this doesn't match the cult definition of CA. Are you sure he's not in Florida? It's sunny with beaches and stuff too. :rolleyes:

Makes me want a '91 Silverado with a 6" lift.

Gee whiz let the guy do his experiment. The only thing changing is the viscosity so we could get some valuable casual info. :rolleyes:
