LINK Charlie Munger passes away at age 99. A gentleman and a genius.

Decided to cut open the oil filter off of the RDX after an oil change today. I was curious to see I’d see any of the carbonaceous material others have found after their first run with HPL. The oil used was HPL’s PCMO 5W-30. This RDX has spent the vast majority of its life on Amsoil, so I thought...

The Aston Martin F1 team, which is sponsored by Saudi Aramco, who also owns Valvoline Global, is partnering with Valvoline for their lubricant supplier. They've also released a one-off livery for this week's race at Silverstone. Looks good, in my opinion. I already loved the green, and I think...

Good morning, my fellow Americans! What’s on your menu for today? Anything exciting? I have the smoker rolling right now. Already have a pork butt on, with plans for some mexican pulled pork for street tacos. I’ll be throwing on a couple racks of salt and pepper spare ribs as we get closer to...

TL,DR: Goodyear Assurance Weatherreadys after 4 1/2 years and 50k miles- excellent tires, but very noisy as they wear. Continental Control Contact A/S tires- not impressive, although admittedly very small sample size. Continental True Contact Plus tires- so far, very pleased, however still...

GM Shut Down of plant in Fort Wayne, IN GM shutting down their plant in Fort Wayne for two weeks in order to "maintain optimal inventory levels". In other words, dealers and OEMs learned that folks are willing to pay way more for cars than they were pre-virus. Lower inventory levels and higher...

And using the data on people’s driving habits to deny warranty coverage. Link the the Reddit post. The Mazda Privacy Policy does allow for them to collect all sorts of data, and you have to contact them to disable the TCU if you don’t want them to do so. I’m sure they’re not the only automaker...

Tell me that this doesn't sound like a Florida BITOG member. :ROFLMAO:

Well, it's been a wild 7 months. We had our first kid, landed a new job, bought a house, and so I bought a smoker in celebration. Today was it's first run with a pork butt. Turned out great!

Whether you're a fan of Tesla or not, this is a video worth watching. I think it touches on why some people are against the push for EV adoption, but the most important point he makes is at the very end of the video: No matter how bad Tesla quality and service is, people will continue to buy...

Source Text On the 23rd, the FAA published a Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO) discussing the risks associated with the expanded presence of 5G and its interference with aircraft radio altimeters. While interference with radio altimeters can cause problems at any phase of flight, it's impact...

Hello Foilks. Looking for advice on this one. My 2007 Maxima with 126k on it has an issue on warm starts where the oil pressure light turns off (as expected) upon start up but comes back on for roughly one second before turning off again. This only happens on a warm start - engine oil at...

Cooked a chuck roast with my sous vide at 135* for about 28 hours. Seared in a skillet with ghee, sauteed onions and toasted the buns in it after. Sliced and topped with provolone and boiled down the juices to make an au jus to dip it in. Sweet mercy, it was delicious. Highly recommend this and...

Found this on the local CL. Little does he know, I base how much I pay off of how well my salesman can spell.

"Honda is recalling over 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S. to repair drive shafts that can break, window switches that can overheat and a software flaw" Article here.

Looks like these two are back at it again. Only this time, instead of giving us the modern automotive marvel that was the Saturn Vue, it will be mostly focused on EV and other alternative powerplant platforms. Link

I did an early OCI (normally 12 month/3,000ish miles) on the Impala due to some seepage I found in the valley near the power steering pump- a common place to see seepage when lower intake manifold gaskets start to fail. I cleaned it up and so far the area has stayed dry, but I wanted to do a UOA...

I bought my wife a Nikon D5600 DSLR a few years ago as an anniversary gift, as she had expressed an interest in learning photography. Since then, I think I've taken more pictures with it then she has. No big deal- I have always really enjoyed astrophotography and thought that I'd try to teach...
