    My experience with vehicles over the last 40 years

    My experience is, I just gave up. Not actually sure why. Life got in the way I guess. I've had my F150 for 18 years or so. S2000 I purchased to sell and make money on. Didn't happen. I have zero interest in any new car at the price. I sort of became the family mechanic for all the kids cars (4...

    Supertech 5w40 thoughts?

    It needs to be closer to $18 to be a seller. It's a fine oil but not when it's the same as premium brands

    What did the prior owner weld to this 1999-2007 Super Duty truck bed

    Not sure about the 250 but my 01 F150 has a paper thin bed. I've had to weld it, pry and hammer it back into shape over the years. When tying down loads you can see it flex.

    Manufactures Response to States Gasoline Power Equipment Bans

    No doubt. Big businesses are also behind all the "unjoin your union" mailers. People fall for it. They dont think that if they didn't have a union, they would be fired and replaced with a underpaid illeagal at the first opportunity.

    Lake Mead water level video

    Design flaw. Also having the lake altered the entire ecosystem upstream and down. The Grand Canyon is not even remotely the same.

    Manufactures Response to States Gasoline Power Equipment Bans

    Sort of a joke. The guy has a job to do. I bet if he didn't clean the sidewalk to nowhere someone would complain. The boss should give him a quiet blower or the hospital should have a rule. No doubt they went with the lowest bidder.

    Oil advice from Stihl ...

    I run Maxima Super M at 40:1 with min 91 octane in all my 2 strokes. Lawn equipment, yz125, old 440 superstock jet ski.... never an oil related issue.

    Lake Mead water level video

    It's an unnatural lake, why do we think it should be full? If it was empty, that would actually be normal. They built it to use it, they are using it.

    Bratwurst, sauerkraut and German beer lovers...I need your opinion

    Any prepackaged brats are going to be average. Just get Kirklands if they aren't from a butcher. Beer: Bitburger? The Coors light of Germany 🤣

    New car sales dwindling due to high cost

    Swap in the Mazda motor for a little power boost. IIRC the head or maybe just the intake had bigger ports

    New car sales dwindling due to high cost

    Nearly no dealer support was the reason I wasn't interested. If it was a Honda or Toyota I bet it would have done well.

    Anybody ever take apart the Suzuki 4 stroke on a 1988 Toro 20622 walk behind?

    So, it spins over fine with the plug removed? They dont have a compression release that Im aware of. Maybe just some rust in the bore? Spray some lube or oil down the plug hole and spin it over a few times. Reinstall the plug and try again. I've worked on a few, mostly carb work as they are...

    Ceramic coatings offer almost no UV protection.

    PPF yellows from UV light and looks terrible when it does.

    retirement party; 35 years at the same job

    Been at my job for 20 years. Mostly because of location and raising kids. We do get retirement, and Union.VP of the local chapter. I look forward to leaving someday. 20 years and still treated like crap. Union involvement probably doesn't help 🤣
