I find, in my experience, that I have to roast several pounds of any given bean before I have dialed in the roast and found where it really brings out the great flavors in any given bean. This guatemalan I'm going through, for example, is really terrible when roasted dark. It has some great...

Would love to see pictures and details! I have had an inkling about building my own roaster for many years. I am currently roasting with a Behmor which I get by with, but is a pretty crappy roaster and I won't be sad when it dies. Indeed, I would say green bean prices have roughly doubled in...

Here's what Echo says for my weed wacker and leaf blower:

This sounds like it's squarely in "Let it go" territory, man

I don't think any of my small engines could be described as a "performance engine" though Yes, this is my understanding too. 15 years ago I could find regular gas with no octane in it if I looked for it. Now you can only find premium and they charge $8 or more per gallon around here (about 2x...

How is there a differential leak on a new Subie with less than 30k miles? Silver paint and low fluid would worry me!

Why 91 octane though? It has the same amount of ethanol in it.

Alright y'all, I splurged and got a bottle of Star Tron based on recommendations here. I bought a new Toro mower in about 2012 or 2013 and had to junked it last fall, after the second carb rebuild and I couldn't get it to run reliably. I have never used any kind of additive in my gas, and...

Gonna go out on a limb here and wonder, if the problem is in the coffee maker and not in the beans? You get a good coffee machine and it's a noticeable difference in flavor. And if you have a good drip machine then maybe it's time to step up and replace your drip coffee with americanos. I...

I am starting to warm up to this Acura since it seems more and more like just a lifted station wagon than an SUV. It's fairly low for a Stupid Useless Vehicle, but it's practical inside and has good road manners other than a clunky ZF 9-speed transmission. There is nothing "super handling" about...

I live in a particular area where this seems to be a pride thing for dudes with their trucks. "I'm such a man, see how I flush so much money down the drain by driving my huge truck or lifted jeep as much as possible and talking about it all the time when gas prices are sky high" Personally, I...

Gas in the summers of 07 and 08 was actually more expensive (adjusted for inflation) than when it got up to $6/gal in 2022! Kind of crazy to think about.

Rats, looks like I should have bought that gallon of ATF earlier this week...

I have fond memories of using my paperclip in my old 1985 MR2 college beater! I never really had to use it until a little over 350k miles, and a friend of mine sold me his JDM junkyard supercharged engine for cheap. I had never done anything like a motor swap before and I wired it up myself. I...

I see quickjacks; I updoot

Isn't it unreasonable though, to expect someone to commute in a car that can't drive over the curbs in the starbucks drive thru, man? At the very least you have to drive a car that LOOKS like it can scale Pike's Peak as you take your kids to school during your suburban commute. I'm 100%...

He's right. Since they were so unreliable and dangerous I should have just ... bought a Lotus ... or a Ferrari.

I almost bought one of these around 2011, still love the look of them. Indeed, seems like Job #1 is get one of the wonderful OEM shift knobs. If I remember correctly they had the same excellent leather/aluminum knob that the S2000 had.

I think it's along the lines of, they lure people in with cheap stuff and then the website disappears as soon as they get an order. The goal in this case is probably just to get your credit card number, not to get $2 for a fake Fram filter. I found a bunch of these when shopping for an Italian...
