4 packs are often $12-16, with select ones $20+... so its no surprise when their $6-10 when out (New England)

that yeyo... 🤣

Correct, I'm not surprised.

and I've been adding whatever leftover or odd oil I've had on hand as its beens slowly leaking... 10W-60 TMS, 5W-30 Toro, 20W-50 haha. Not a do, as I do.

Mann HU727/1 from a '95 Mercedes E320 with 161,000 miles. Needs a HG (oil leak rear passenger side), been putting it off... now almost three years later and 12k miles, gave in to oil change. Pretty much all short trips, WFH for last 2 due to COVID. Filter didn't fare too well, a number of tears...

I got a few of the Grip6 ones that have been holding up well.

I've seen at least one video where a few "automotive" youtubers get together for a event... ChrisFix is among them, in the "flesh". Finding the face of AVE... that I haven't seen.

NOCO GB70.. can start 3L straight six gasser without a battery. Struggled, but started a 4 cylinder kubota skidsteer where the battery was too weak to turn over. Pretty impressive and can start a lot of vehicles if there's still a battery installed.

For lighter snows, 3" or less I like this 36" push shovel: https://www.amazon.com/JM-Enterprises-TV206972-Snowplow-Pusher/dp/B00BVR96TW its super slick and clears the driveway quick. For anything more I'll use my tractor mounted blower. For those areas that I can't reach with the blower, I use...

My folks converted to gas this year... but a quick google search says $2.6/gal. *edit* I don't know how accurate, CT news article from November says average price is closer $3.

That's not news to me... its been on news for MONTHS around here, they've been saying 30% increases in oil, gas and propane for this winter. So far its 20% higher than last November.

I don't know what that is, but my last bill from Eversource for Nov was $85 for 35 CCF used. In 2019 for Dec is was $1.6/CCF.

Steam is not efficient... is all about comfort when coupled with cast radiators. When we remodeled our house, 1950's ranch, we updated the original oil boiler (likely from 70-80s) with a modern gas mod-con boiler along with european panel radiators throughout the house and staple-up radiant...

Fenix UC35 v2 2and HM50R

$20 cut + $5 tip

https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200888194_200888194 Strong enough to do household exterior cleaning, plus with a set of 5.0 tips it'll be "gentle" for vehicle washing (drops pressure to ~1200 psi). Auto start/stop, quieter than gas and no carb cleaning to deal with due to...

^ this I only downshift while braking if I plan on accelerating prior to full stop

Had a '81 300CD with non-turbo 5 cylinder and 4spd AT... swapped in the turbo diesel out a wagon and 240D 4spd MT. Fun experience, but glad I moved onto more refined W124 and now W212. In some ways the W123 was more reliable, since it was dead simple (besides chasing vac leaks)... but the W124...

Less than 1k I suspect, being a low-end, 15yr old model. Throw it up a 1k and drop the price 50-100 every week till interest strikes.

Good PDR is not cheap... so it comes down assessing cost of PDR vs. traditional body work.
