    Ford police vehicles

    The Interceptors are trash. It pains me to say it. The 15-18 models work OK and are the standard. My 2015 sill runs but has some quirks. The 20s were a hybrid abomination and my place is still shipping them off at auction whenever possible. The vehicles had a big availability problem for a...

    Keeping a car in Storage (Change the oil ? )

    It's been discussed. I don't run mine during "storage" status and normally just swap everything out every two years on the day I'm starting it up in spring. Occasionally driving it over the "storage" may change that equation or it may not 🤷‍♀️

    aerobic septic system requirement?

    Likely a local requirement due to the type of lot it is. I think most new installs have ATU's now. They make for a nice, more compact, and efficient system.

    CAFE Standards Fines for Automakers Reduced to $0.00

    Can we talk about the Ethanol mandate now?

    No unimportant jobs- school bus driver

    Our bus drivers do just as described - drive the bus. Whatever happens behind them is the district's business. Then your child will get assaulted multiple times on the bus and they won't let you FOIA the cameras because the cameras show students and that is not allowed to be shared. Sorry...

    AMC Pacer

    Great car! I know there's still a bunch hidden in garages in Kenosha ;) . I'd stay with a conventional 10W-30.

    HVAC question - manual fan setting

    We just had a new system put in and it has a fan that is always running. It's very quiet and only uses like 50W-60W. It makes a difference in heating and cooling distribution. I used to have a large floor fan blowing up the staircase to keep the upstairs cool. No longer needed.

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    If it's on private property, like a shopping center, that parking privilege is a suggestion only.

    Things to do at Wisconsin dells

    The primary summer function there are the water parks. The Ducks tours are pretty cool. My family and I always get after each other at Pirate's Cove. There's like five courses and one of them is pretty much on the cliff over the river. A couple of nice real golf courses there too. Go karts...

    What makes you like where you live?

    I don't like anything about living here.

    Someone explain the EZ Pass toll program to me

    Use one every day. Drive to PA with it every year. The open tolling spots are so much better than the stupid gates (hot take alert).

    Korean Parents try Chicago Hot dogs and Italian Beef for the First Time

    Well, yeah, that's Portillo's. It's going to be one of the better meals you've had. I'll quibble a little with the Philly thing. The "authentic" cheesesteak recipe is a fantastic sandwich and better than the "traditional" Italian Beef. But to each his own...

    Hawaii is getting too expensive to visit.

    Those that can afford to vacation there probably aren't going to be bothered by another one percent tax or two added on.

    Amsoil XL 5W-30, 10.4k mi; Ford Edge Sport 73.9k mi

    Yes. It's been running XL, or now Extended Life, and Amsoil filters since I took it home.

    Amsoil XL 5W-30, 10.4k mi; Ford Edge Sport 73.9k mi

    This is my sixth UOA on this and probably the last for awhile. I think these have served their purpose. The sodium is annoying, but there's nothing else going on. Moly popped up this time and the only thing I've done is swapped out the old orange coolant for compatible new. It's been a great...

    2023 Ford Bronco 2.7 Ecoboost Amsoil SS 5w-30 5k OCI

    Currently at 13 month OCI's at 5k with that oil is interesting. You are trying to baseline, I get it. But I'd be doing at minimum 26 month 10k with that oil. My 2018 2.7 has been doing great at 10k OCI with Amsoil XL and I'll be receiving it's 5th UOA (and maybe last) soon.

    When you have to follow code enforcement to a T, on your new house.

    Looks like the municipality created an "unbuildable" lot here and someone is out to prove them wrong.

    To double drain and fill or not?

    At 30k ATFDFI, once is enough.

    Driving to Chicago for an extended weekend. Which pizza place to visit?

    For visitors, check out Gino's in the Loop. Any Lou's location will be good. I'm not really an Uno's fan, but a lot of people like it. A lot of people also like Connie's on South Archer. The sauce is a little too sweet for me. If you get into the neighborhoods you can find a ton of really...

    Eyesore or just deal with it?

    Are you sure that is on municipal property? Like it confirmed it on the city/county's GIS program?
