So sorry for your loss. They ask for so little, and give so much to us. I'm sure you gave her a wonderful life. All dogs go to heaven. It will be very hard for a while-- remember the good times with her.

I'm a Kohler man. During Hurricane Sandy, ours ran 24/7 for 17 days, with breaks for oil and filter changes. In our experience. service and technical support were excellent. My neighbor's Generac (albeit an older unit) wouldn't restart after an oil change- three different service techs couldn't...

Thanks to all! Peter

As we tend to keep our cars forever, I want to protect the finish as best we can. My detail skills are amateur at best, so I'm happy to have a professional do what's required to set us up for the future. For my older cars, I wash, polish and wax them. Is the 'quality sealant' to which you...

I've got a 2009 Lexus ES350 with 170,000 miles, which has been a very solid car. There are several sticky spots on the horizontal portion of the dashboards, worse of course vin the hot weather. I understand that this is a recognized issue, and some dashboards were replaced under warranty; I'm...

We just took delivery on a 2026 Lexus RX 350H, in red mica. It's a beautiful color. I politely refused the F&I offerings (wheel and tire protection, extended warranty, prepaid maintenance) and the 'ultimate crystal ceramic paint coating' Does the finish require any protection at this time? We...

My favorite is 'Put the oxygen mask over your mouth and nose and breathe normally'. Probably not!

Good advice from everyone. Thanks. Our goal is to get out of the gray, cold season here in southern NJ, visit some friends and hit some sights on the way west that we've always wanted to visit. I suspect after all that windshield time, I'll be happy to get on a plane and fly home!

We are planning a cross country trip from Philadelphia to Santa Barbara CA (Southern route, of course!) this February, likely to last 5 weeks. As our car, a 2011 Lexus RX450 H has 215,000 miles, I'm planning to rent here and drop off at LAX airport. My research so far confirms that it won't be...

My son had a similar issue with his 2011 Tuscan. Turned out to be a wonky positive battery clamp that didn't make good contact with the post even when fully tightened. I added a 'battery post shim'- looks like a thimble- which allowed for a more secure connection. By the way, the cable assembly...

I've had two knee replacements and a hip replacement in the past 18 months, and the bruising can be alarming, but is quite common. They use a tourniquet (usually a blood pressure cuff inflated to 300 mgHg) to stop the flow of blood to the knee during surgery. The blood can interfere with the...

You gave him a wonderful life. I'm so sorry for your loss. All dogs go to heaven.

Thanks so much for the great advice! I'll plan to do the next 'spill and fill' next week. Is the best way to determine the proper level to replace the amount that drains out, or is there a preferred method? Thanks again! Peter

My son's 2011 Hyundai Tuscan (AWD) has 129K miles, and has started experiencing the occasional slippage on acceleration, and likewise rare hesitation going into reverse. The transmission fluid hasn't been changed to our knowledge. As it is a sealed unit, we can't tell if it's low on fluid. I'm...

I'm very sorry for your loss and know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May fond memories of the good times comfort you in the weeks and months ahead. The BITOG community is here for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave him a wonderful life, and he gave you unconditional love. It's the hardest thing to do, but it is also the kindest. All dogs go to heaven.

Take the high road- it's always less crowded.

I worked two summers after high school at an old school Chrysler- Plymouth dealer in Newtown CT. The boss was a self made Portuguese immigrant who started as a chauffeur to the richest lady in town and got himself in the automobile business. I was paid $2/hour (in 1973/74), which worked out to...

This is an excellent thread on all aspects of prostate health/imaging/treatment that I follow from the MG Experience board: https://www.mgexp.com/forum/off-topic-forum.47/prostate-cancer.3211575/

Actually, they were in Middlesex County. At one point they were in Perth Amboy, Red Bank, New Brunswick (shown in picture), Freehold, Lawrence Harbor and Linden. The building in Freehold is now operating as Freehold Tire. I have a 1959 D-100 Power Giant pickup truck that reminds me of my...
