Sometimes I think the tire repair shops deliberately litter the road with nails and screws to drum up business.

I look forward to hearing Mariah Carey every Christmas. Also George Michael.

How does extra abrasion help bed in the piston rings?

What have you learned from all your used oil analyses?

Please stop making things up.

How much did these people pay for the reservations in the first place? Do you get your money back if you don't buy?

Maybe this is the one time I would take a Goodride over a Goodyear:

In Ontario they won't let you sell a car if the date code on the tires is over 6 years old. Personally I wouldn't buy a tire with a date code over a year old, unless I got a really good deal on them. I would buy from a place that does high volume like Walmart or Costco so that you are more...

Some people are swearing by Chinese tires? Did I wake up in the Twilight Zone?

Adguard doesn't block anything. I said YouTube in Firefox. What sort of crazy person would use the YouTube app?

Interesting theory about the sticky seals. That could be it. There's a lot of dirt and grime in there too, but impossible to reach to clean or lubricate.

Do engineers ever come on here and read stuff like this and think to themselves, "Maybe we shouldn't be using the same failing part for 20 years?"

I thought I would try the Dorman one because the factory one failed in the first place. I thought there might be better odds with an aftermarket. But I was wrong, clearly.

I am removing the passenger side air vent, and the duct behind it, so I can reach inside and do everything by feel (with one hand), because I can't look inside at the same time I am reaching in.

What you've just described sounds like a prison to me.
