I just found this info.. Honda looks like they've been working on a reusable rocket that takes off on its own, then lands itself with retractable landing legs. In the test it landed within 15 inches of the target. I know SpaceX has been working on this too but looks like Honda made it look...

This is from a recent oil lab test for my friend's 2016 Mazda CX-5. The original test #1 was from the previous owner before my friend bought the vehicle. Have no idea what oil was used but thinking it was 0w-20. I switched them over to using M1 Adv Full Syn 5w30. They also had the oil for...

Been buying the Microgard house brand of Oreilly, cabin air filters for my friend's 16 CX-5. Does anyone know who's making them for Oreilly?

I know a lot of automakers have gone with soy-based insulation for their wiring.. Does anyone know that Mazda used this (soy-based wiring) for the 2016 CX-5? MODS: Feel free to move this if I'm in the wrong forum..

Does anyone have access to Manheim's auction data? Was helping a friend determine the current value of a 2013 Nissan Rogue AWD, the insurance company is looking to total it, didn't even want to fix it. Wanted to know what they were going for on the auction block lately.. If anyone could...

I have a GE electric clothes dryer, just replaced the front and rear bearings (was squeaking/squealing), the front door felt (lower part of bearing) and the drive belt. It's running quiet now but I wanted to see if the heating elements were turning on. I opened the door, held the door switch and...

After the less than stellar UOA I had done on my 96 Civic with Supertech Full Syn 5w30 (my opinion, didn't like the results), I decided to change to Mobil1 Advanced Full Synthetic 5w30. All the reviews that wanted to claim that Mobil1 was making their engine louder, are not true at all in my...

Ok I saw this out of Lansing, Michigan.. Guy in a 2020 Dodge Charger was stopped by the MSP for doing 156mph on I-496 in Downtown Lansing! I guess the limiter was removed? Wow.. guess he was late for an appointment? :LOL...

I was a fan of the Supertech Full Syn oil with everything that I researched before trying it in the 96 Civic. I will say that I'm not that impressed at all. It sheared down to a 5w20 in only 6 months and this with nothing but 90% highway driving! Plus I didn't like seeing a rise in wear numbers...

Wanted to see what was in the regular Toyota 5w30 SN Plus version, so here it is.. Looks like it's on the thin side of the 5w30 spec.

I'm not complaining but wanted to check if others had this on their Ryobi cordless power tools. I just bought a new P262 Ryobi Impact wrench (600ft/lbs 1/2" drive), looks great. Yes I did pop in a battery, works fine.. but.. I looked down the hole to the electrical connectors on the tool itself...

Well.. Looks like Michigan is getting its turn for a winter storm!! All winter season it has been going around us, not this time! I wonder how much we will really get, will it be the amount the local weather forecasters say?? Hmm...

AS 09GLS post about this scanner, it got me thinking that I would like to update my older Harbor Freight scanners. Since my older one doesn't offer scanning abs/srs systems. I went to look tonight and found there's an Amazon lighning deal ($24 off), for the next 5 hours (as I write this) plus...
