    Can a dealer detect an oil change?

    My old Hyundai dealer could not. They told me my oil needed changed and it was seven days and 200 miles old.

    Lake Mead water level video

    Yes, it's a pretty bad situation. We don't typically regulate where people can live, so how do we fill it back up?

    Where/How Do You Buy A Used car?

    I've bought them about every way possible. I do a lot of work on the front end figuring out if the car meets my standards. I've never had a bad purchase, thankfully.

    Public Service Announcement – Ford Backup Cameras

    There is a recall on the camera. I've never had an issue and my dealer didn't address it on the last visit (which means I am still getting notices).

    2026 NHL Playoffs

    I like hockey and all, but it's been pretty unwatchable for me this year. Cheap shots and dirty play are completely acceptable this year. They could suspend at least one player every game I've watched, but they just let them play (or whatever you want to call it). So I'll probably not watch...

    Worst Rock Song of All Time

    That was an old and famous Blender Magazine survey on all music. I'd agree with it. Here were their worst 10. It's an old survey, so we may have new entries: 1. Starship- "We Built This City" 2. Billy Ray Cyrus- "Achy Breaky Heart" 3. Wang Chung- "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" 4. Limp Bizkit-...

    The angry neighbor nonsense of the day

    That's the kind of stuff that is worth complaining about. The guy is using his residential property for commercial purposes. Letting everyone store their junk on your property (for a fee) because they can't do it on theirs is pretty rude if you are anywhere near another. The "my property, I...

    Used Car Bargaining

    They make a lot of money on used, so I'd be willing to guess they have a lot of leeway on pricing. That said they're going to sell it for as much as they can possibly get, so you'll always be up against that number.

    Remaining Fuel when your vehicle shows “E”

    "Get gas light" usually means I go another 20-40 miles before filling. I figure I have 2-3 gallons left. I've made it to 0 miles remaining before.

    Post your new battery purchase.

    My DieHard Gold died. I purchased it in September of 2023. Luckily, I save all my receipts and that battery has a three year warranty. Took the battery and receipt back to AZ and got a new one. So now we are on battery three with a vehicle with 81k miles.

    Shell Stations

    All over the place here. I like the one near my office where you can parlay a $.20/G discount for buying a carwash and the $.10/G Rewards.

    At what mileage did you start adding a heavier weight oil to your vehicle(s)?

    Probably around 150k. I moved a Sonata from 5-20 to 5-30. It made it to 270k with zero engine issues. I gave up on it for other reasons.

    How much longer should I be able to play games on this laptop?

    Yeah, that thing is a brick. It will never make it to summer. Send it to me when you upgrade because all I do is play Yahoo! Euchre and that may be just enough to keep going.

    Burger King Whopper

    I think they are OK. Lots of bread with that sandwich. Wednesdays are always $3.99 and that's when I'll order one. BK has a very good app.

    Took my daughter's Nissan into the dealership for an oil change, wow

    When the lounge at a dealership is full of people owning less than five year old vehicles, that should tell you that you need to buy the next car under another brand.

    Should I change the oil? 1 year with Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 with only 120 miles?

    Nice car! No need to change. Get out there and drive it. Check back in next April.

    Product Liability Oddity

    While waiting for a car wash the other day, I got to reading this sign. It looks like "Mark VII Equipment" is the company that manufactures the equipment in the car wash. What I find odd is that they make this (I think) several hundred thousand dollar product and then are like "whatever...

    How is everyone managing maintenance and oil analysis over time?

    Excel sheet for old cars. Ford Pass app for newer.

    Another new temperature record for Phoenix?

    Close to historic storm this weekend in the orange level and above. I'll be up there in a few days. People that relocate between this area and Phoenix only migrate in one direction. Can't shovel heat.
