Took the greyhound one time to pick up a car a few hours away. Other than the only pickup time being 4am it was fairly tolerable. Sad to have no more nationwide bus service in Canada.

If I got to 666k I’d be very tempted to try to get it to a million. I would then bring it up ad nauseam in general conversation.

Last tank for my 10 civic was 38.6mpg and for my 07 Canyon was 17.5mpg.

Sorry for your loss. Looks like she was a very happy girl who had a good long life. That’s the best you can hope for them.

Fuelly app as well. Also never had anyone ask for records although I do ask when I’m looking to buy.

I paid $1500 CAD for my civic a few years ago and it’s by far the most expensive beater I’ve ever purchased 🤣.

These are very unsophisticated, cool running engines so no need to overthink. 5 or 10w30 and away you go.

TCW3 gives all the lubrication you’ll ever need in this situation and it absolutely does not ”suck”. You don’t want to be using FD oils in an outboard they run too cool and slow. FD is for hotter running higher rpm engines. I like HP marine but if you’re premixing 50:1 injector would do very...

Craftsman is a disposable brand now. No better than any of the cheapest brands.

Oh I thought because I didn’t develop the rash I was in the clear.

If I need to make foam filters for ope I buy a cheap dirtbike filter and cut them out of that.

Sharpen to a nice uniform edge of about 30 degrees but not in any way like a knife. A fine edge damages easily as noted in the oregon post above.

I always get my dad to run his equipment out of gas at the end of the season so I don’t have to fix it all in the spring. Sure enough he didn’t run his push mower dry in the fall and now it won’t run. Went over and drained the gas/varnish and put some new stuff in and got it to run but not well...

Mechanic in coveralls beats tuneup in a bottle every time.

I dug one out of my armpit about 4 days ago. Very painful red spot where the bite was but no rash and it’s fading away. Guess I got lucky.

I run a helix 9 but a lot of guys I know switched to Garmin and seem very happy.
