You should be fine.

Our third car was suppose to be for my autistic daughter but she is not going to drive for awhile. I drive a 23 GX and my wife has her 24 Acura RDX. Our "beater" is an 06 Lexus ES330 with 17,500 original miles in the highly sought after grandpa gold. I love driving the 20 year old car. None of...

My old Air Force buddy says really good things about the Carbotech's. He use to track his old MR2 and said that they were really good at limiting brake fade.

Oh the joy of eating MRE's in the Kuwait desert! The Tabasco sauce did a pretty good job of masking my contempt for a home cooked meal.

I never noticed a difference in highway mileage while using my Thule hitch mounted rack. It has been on several different cars and trucks. Besides losing a bit of ground clearance, my bike rack has moved my bikes thousands of miles with zero issues. I may go with a 1up since they tuck the rack...

There were some ice pop plastic remnants while I was walking my dog at our local park the other day. Always feels good to leave something better than I found it. When I was a kid in the 70's, we had a neighbor who would ask us to help him pickup up trash when we were walking on the beach...

We had our 17 CRV Touring for 7 years and 50k miles. No issues with oil dilution but I always changed the oil at 5000 miles. I preferred the 2.4L in our 13 CRV but my wife liked the better in city acceleration in the 17. We traded in the 17 a couple of years ago for a 24 RDX.

I had an endoscopy yesterday afternoon and still feeling the effects of the go sleep juice. I will catch up on yard work tomorrow, waiting for my guy to turn the sprinklers back on.

I am really glad to see so much emphasis on all weather tires. I have been switching to winter tires for close to 40 years now. Two winters ago I ran the CC2's on my 23 Lexus GX. They did great! Not as much winter traction as the Blizzaks I ran last winter, but when the canyon roads were not...

I used the Pods last summer to store the contents of my garage while I was having the floor epoxied and walls painted. It worked very well! They dropped off the Pod and I loaded it up in a couple hours. It was very convenient to have access to my tools and garage supplies. The cost was well...

I run Blizzak DM-V2 on my 23 Lexus GX and the Vredestein WinTrac Pro's on my wife's 24 Acura RDX. The Blizzaks are great for winter conditions but suffer when the roads are dry. The performance winter tires are much easier to live with but do give up some winter grip. They work perfect because...

The second oil change for my wife’s 24 Acura RDX. Every 5k miles with 5.1 quarts 0w-20 Amsoil Signature and OEM Honda oil filter. Took about 30 minutes with Rhino Ramps and jack stands as back up. Very satisfied doing the work in my garage. Going on 40 years of wrenching and still loving it...

Just resting up after a slush fest at the local mountain. Spring is super fun this year!

Grandpa gold. 06 ES330 that my dad gave me a few years ago prior to his passing. Now up to 17k miles. Zero issues.

As Jeff Spicoli once quipped, " Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman. He's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!

Swapped over to the summer wheel/tire set this morning on my wife’s Acura. After torquing and set tire pressure, I found a sheetmetal screw in the tread. Pulled the wheel off and dropped it off at Big O. 0$ and five minutes later, I loaded the wheel back into my truck and then reinstalled the...

I currently have a 23 Lexus GX460 and a 06 Lexus ES330 both with under 20k miles. The ES330 will probably outlast the GX460. Less stuff to go wrong.

No fuel economy drop running CC2's on my 23 Lexus GX460. About the same mileage as the winter wheels and tires.

I've been buying tires/wheels from Tire Rack for the last 20 years. I have bought several set of winter tires/wheels and they have always had perfect fitment. I run winter tires on both our cars from November to May. Switching out the wheels sets takes about 30 minutes including the final...

I just finished swapping over back to the 19's on Michelin CC2's from the 17's with Blizzaks. Snowfall has been below normal so no need grind down the winter tires.
