Did a search, got really nothing. How do you remove light colored oil based makeup off black leather? I've tried makeup remover. Nothing. Tried leather cleaner, nothing. If I scrub too hard, it will discolor the black leather.

On my 01 F150 crew, 5.4l, 4x4, took 5 of us up a tall steep mountain. Outside temp was about 109, AC blowing and had it locked into 2 nd gear. Noticed temp gauge climbing up...and up....finally get to the top of the mountain, aimed the towards the wind, popped the hood and let it sit for a...

I know this should be in the general/off topic section, but for some reason, it's the only forum topic I can't access at work. But, I did see some grill related stuff on here. I got a procom SSD30TR gas log vent free gas log set up....pretty much very similar to a LPG grill. Anyway, long story...

About three years ago, wife got t-boned. Other driver got the ticket. Car was totaled and she had to have shoulder surgery and therapy. OK, that's over and lawyer settled with the other party. Basically, we got a check for 20K. Not trying to brag here, our finances are doing OK....house paid...

Well, my 10 year old cocker spaniel has been having seizures these past two months. Talking to the vet, there isn't a cure. Currently doing blood work to see if maybe something obvious is going on like liver enzymes, hormones, etc. etc. Now the question of medications are coming up. After doing...

Curious what ya'll think. Wife and daughter were at a city sponsored event, festival of lights at Christmas kind of thing. Well, it lost power and was dark. As she and my daughter were walking away in the dark, and lot's of people leaving as well, she tripped over a bunch of power cords, landed...

I have researched this and looked everywhere. Does anybody know what mileage, from Honda, that you're suppose to replace the CVT fluid? Dealer said next visit, around 36K or so, the car will require a CVT fluid replacement. I disagree. The only thing I can find from Honda is when the MM shows up...

Got a 1200 amp portable battery jumper. Now, if i connect a low amp 12V oil pump, the kind with alligator clips you connect to a 12V battery, would it blow it up? I mean, i can connect that jumper to my seadoo which uses less amps and works fine. If I'm way off here electronically, be GENTLE...

Don't know what the deal is here in Oklahoma, but bugs are OUT. It's like Mt. Doom opened for all the bugs. After spending all weekend cleaning, polishing and waxing all of the Honda's, it just irks me that so many bugs are coated on the front of the cars. I know from experience that if I don't...

Has anyone tried using an extractor through the fill port on either a CVT or the 6AT? Reason why I'm asking is that I've been reading a lot that some have had problems getting the correct CVT fluid level on the CRV's because there is no dipstick. On the CRV, you drain, fill, run through the...

I did search this part of the forum and found a few posts on bug removal. Seems to be a lot of different products out there. One thing I got to ask, in the past I've used basically kerosene, or some other distillate to remove tar and some bugs. Wife's new CRV literally gets coated with bugs...

When I went to pick up my new to me accord, I noticed at the dealer there was a list of prices. It showed that the 6AT "service" was for over 900 dollars.....What in the world is that for? From what I've all read, this AT requires fluid replacement at 105K, like the other AT generations. Is...

My 15 year old daughter will be driving soon. Been researching this and re-reading that excellent insurance thread on year a couple of weeks ago. Seems everyone I talk to have different opinions about insuring your children. I have State Farm with 100/300/100 and full coverage on all the...

Well.....things happen. Was getting my boat lake ready and installed the battery. The previous owner had some mickey mouse wiring he did to install the radio and depth finder. Thought I had it all figured out...NOT. Hooked the negative to the positive, this is my boat, but it's a 3.0 GM engine...

My 10 year old Brinkmann 2500 literally bit the dust this week, rust dust that is. I mean everything...cast iron burners, burner rack, drip pan, hot plates...everything. I can get some parts for it, but not all like the starter boxes, they just don't make them any more. Sure, I could just use a...

well, between these storms, had the annual AC check. Not good. It's losing about 2-3 LBS of R-22 every year. The current system is a Lennox, R-22 with gas furnace, about 4 ton unit, 48K BTU. I've been nursing it along over the years, but I think I may have to take the plunge. Installed in '96...

The new 18 CRV, we got hooked on the engines for life thing. After reading the fine print, dealership must do ALL of the scheduled maintenance that shows up on the OLM/owners manual. I get to talking to my salesguy, have bought 6 Honda's from him and a few friends of mine, including Grandma...

I have mentioned all the past crazy neighbor stuff in an older thread. Got a question. I'm getting ready to put up a privacy fence that will pretty much block all her ground level cameras aimed directly into my yard. My last count as of last night, 8 in the front yard alone, all aiming at my...

Been two years since I've changed the oil in the truck. Sits in garage when not used and as you can tell, doesn't get used a lot. Did a oil blot test and it was light brown with no rings on the edges. Making me think I don't need to change out that oil. I don't have a problem doing that, but why...

Got one for Christmas from a close family friend. Didn't think much about it, so daughter and tried it out and made our own French fries....HOLY COW BATMAN...those were the BOMB!!! Just cut the potatoes and put in a bowl, a little olive oil and some salt, mixed it all up and cooked them. They...
