    Teslas are becoming the new Camrys.

    I live in the Charlotte NC metro area and man the number of Tesla's on the roads here is crazy high. Like fleas on a squirrel. I would prefer a used Prius in a couple of years, but a used M3 might tempt me as I can supercharge anywhere I'd drive the electric vehicle. Those are also...

    Why do hotels put comforters/duvets on beds... year around?

    My routine is a bit different. I keep a can of Lysol in my vehicle specifically for hotel room stays. * open door * start laying down the Lysol. On the floor, on the door, on the bed on the furniture in the bathroom on the light switches I mean I wet it down. Yes, on the pillows and under...

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    can get Lariat F150 for ~60k can get nice XLT for 50,000 I got a 4WD XLT Ranger for 38,000 6 months ago. The only things running 80k (in Fordland) are Raptors (more than 80k) or maybe a Limited. The 80k is overstated by about 20k - we all exaggerate a little but anyone claiming a typical...

    Gas vs pellet grill in a very windy area

    If you get a pellet - make sure you get one with a decent PID. And auto-refire. If it does go out it will start back up. It'll spike the heck out of your temps, but, it's better than tossing a hundred bucks worth of meat on and it going out an hour later while you are sleeping. ask me how I...

    Hit a truck tire on the highway. Got real lucky!

    pffft When I moved to SC I was coming up I77 towards Charlotte. '93 Cavalier stick shift, probably doing 80. Early 80's Cutlass in front of me, the rear bumper fell off. Didn't even knock the NASCAvalier out of alignment.

    Shell Master Card

    I haven't used anything OTHER than a credit card for gas (pay at the pump) in at least 15 years. I've got half a dozen I use. I've been skimmed exactly zero times.

    Carbon steel pan?

    Carbon steel is GREAT. I like and use Merten and Storck, but any of them are good unless you go cheap and thin, and even those are usable. Pricier CS pans are a money grab IMO but if I wanted a pricier pan my choice would be de Buyer (not the ones with ceramic coated handles though, they can...

    Burger King Whopper

    My buddy at work was absolutely raving about these, so I got one. Needed more sauce and much less raw onion. Sauce was good. It fell apart about halfway though so I just said to heck with the bun and wallowed in the mess it made. She sat in my gut for an awful long time after. Now I want to...

    Another which gas station do you pick?

    I generally pick the station on my route that is cheapest. If I see a really good deal, say a quarter under average going price (and I can easily pull into the station) I'll totally top off. I got 7 gallons at a station in Columbia SC Friday for 2.76. going rate was 2.99-3.09 that day. So...

    Do People Understand Flashed Headlights?

    Add Ford to that list. I thought mine was messed up until I delved into it. I would have checked the owners manual but alas, Ford no longer provides a hard copy with the Ranger and Mr_Boring has not the fortitude to 'read' the digital copy I can access though the big old tablet thing that came...

    Sausage, green pepper, jalapeno pizza- would you try?

    long long ago in a Pizza Hut far far away a bunch of us guys had out favorite we dubbed 'the heartburn special' double italian sausage, double pepperoni, bacon, onion, jalapeno. Extra good if you took the bacon and onion and shoved it about halfway though the oven in a pan to cook it a bit...

    how to maximize effectiveness with a DAO 38 snubby?

    I'll say the same thing that I said the last time you posted this. Run 158 lead. Squeezing performance from a snub nose .38 is like trying to squeeze moisture out of a brick. No 'magic snub rounds that will one shot drop guaranteed' exist. Hit em in the head or the spine once or prepare to...

    10 speed... ulv or thicker?

    I can't remember what post I saw the numbers in, but (and my memory may be wrong), it was around a full 20% thicker than ULV numbers. I remember thinking "that's a lot, not in my 10r60". I still don't know why the person I responded to thinks that transmission is a candidate for it. OP didn't...
