Im kindof fond of them. It will keep miles off my ev6 GT, which I want to keep long term. I have a 10/120k bumper to...

    Are winter tires "worth it"?

    I have just been using good all weather and all season tires (CC2's, PSAS4's, etc) in the past. They have worked amazingly well. I have been able to climb my 27% incline drive covered in snow, and even navigated rural mountainous roads during ice storms. That said, I have had vehicles with...

    13th and 14th gen Intel processors are defective.

    I cannot believe this has not been talked about, here. Intel has finally dropped a "fix" code to keep your PC from frying itself. I suggest installing it. https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Microcode-0x129-Update-for-Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop/m-p/1622129

    New To Me...a car I never wanted.

    I got a car I never wanted to have, today. I'd pay any amount of money not to have it, even though it didn't monetarily cost me but $45 for the plates. It's a 2005 Buick LeSabre, with 129K miles on it, and I came by it via Texas DMV form VRT-262, Affidavit of Heirship. It was my mother's. So...

    Roof question...

    These are photos of some of my shingles. I tried to pick the worst. How many more years (any?) Are left for this roof, barring extreme weather events? It has no functional issue at present. It is 17 years old currently.
