Oil turning red = Measles.

I don't have brand names to offer, but I'll suggest that "best tire gauge" for me would be one that can be dropped on repeated occasions with no significant impact on use or accuracy. And that would tend to eliminate more complex gauges, and give the thumbs-up to simpler designs. Although I...

A few of the first things I do when I get a new (or used, new-to-me) ride: 1) Check tire and spare tire pressures; 2) Check the air valves' threaded inserts for tightness; 3) Order a backup wheel lock key or socket which I'll keep at home in case I or a mechanic misplaces the original; 4) LED...

My best recommendation for a string trimmer would be "scissors." You can buy them....well, pretty much anywhere. Just don't run with them.

If your primary goal is preventing metal-to-metal wear (which obviously it should be), simply use the finest filtering media you can find, not that it's easy determining what's "fine" or not. Don't worry about capacity: Unless you're going to extreme intervals (something well beyond 10K miles)...

Like clockwork over the decades one hears "The new CARB standards are unworkable and unnecessary....Can't be done!...We need a uniform (lowered) standard." (The same things were said about unleaded gas and catalytic converters too.) And then the car makers make it happen, they produce engines...

It looketh normaleth.

Turns out that $4 billion number making the rounds regarding oil industry welfare is WILDLY UNDERSTATED. The preferential treatment doled out to Big Oil is MUCH bigger than that. It’s actually closer to $24 billion: 1. $20.5 billion in special deductions, special tax rates, credits, and grants...

FUNNY! I loves me some critters, but the most awesome critter in the world, in my book, would most certainly be a parrot that swears like a sailor. As a huge fan of South Park and Beavis & Butthead, that would be the COOLEST. PET. EVER.

At least some seemingly "minor" accidents can nonetheless a cause a legitimate injury (or at least suspected injury) to the neck or spine. No, not all of these are faked. Until they get a person to an X-ray machine to confirm yes or no, they can't be certain. Before then, spine and neck...

Originally Posted By: motor_oil_madman why minor wrecks have major injuries or why you end up with 50 police cars and tons of emt guys? The answer to your second question is because they are bored so they all respond to whatever happens. I guess i'd rather have more help than none at all...
