How about sunny south Florida! 1997 Saturn SL2 5-speed

Never thought of making it in a cast iron... usually use loaf pans. Looks scumptious!

Best of luck with it! Not a while lot on the inside to break, so that's a plus!

In a non-climate-controlled storage room attached to the carport.

Is there a separate reservoir for the rear window sprayer? Maybe that one is empty and keeping the light on.

Oil stash hasn't changed much. Just 4.5 qts down of PP 5W20 and an M1 filter with Accord's latest OC. I also have 3 PL14459 filters for the KIA in the stash.

Thanks for all the kind words. It's not such a bad problem to have. I nearly forgot about this until I was in the laundry room looking at the shelf upon which they sit. I have to add to this oil score with a score of filters I recently got from craigslist. I had run my (small) stash of...

It ain't broke, don't fix it! What you are / she is doing is working just fine.

As of late, I have been using my Galaxy S3 with a rotating dash mount and an app called Daily Roads Voyager. It records speed, lat/lon, and date/time and retains video either in set chunks of time or by specified g-force using the phone's onboard gyros. Not ideal for documenting anything in a...

And if you choose to go this route, you can use DeCrap my Computer to clean all the bloatware they put on there to justify the price. Good luck!

For a prebuilt, something like this (few bucks cheaper at Newegg) is the ticket. It has Windows 7 Pro, RAM should be expandable up to 16GB, DVDRW, built-in wireless, built-in card reader, USB 3.0 and other perks at a solid price. As long as you have the monitor, you're good to go here. If you...

In the haste to add the power supply and re-add the CPU while tinkering, I put the wrong vendor for the CPU. It can be had for a penny more at Newegg, so everything but the power supply can be had at Newegg. If you can stomach a $20 MIR, a $20 Corsair PSU can't be beat.

Here's an AMD version I threw together pretty quick and should last you a while. You have another slot to upgrade RAM if necessary and left off the SSD to get you right at budget. You can of course get a small SSD like Nick listed for the OS, which will definitely make Windows zippier. Good...

I did the exact same thing thing you are speaking of, i.e. waiting for a manager to break on he price and pounced when he went half off which brought the 5 qt jugs down to just over $10. I doubt $1/quart as well. $2/quart is not bad for a quality green syn. Inexpensive oil is inexpensive oil...

I say with a heavier car, you are better off with more than 32 psi. In my experience, heavy front wheel drive cars chew through outer tread at placard psi and I have always run them several psi higher. I say 36-38 at least.

UOA for this run is now up here ... annnnd it did indeed need to come out!

I know G-Oil has a few "generations" of formulations, so for clarity, the G-Oil I used was in this jug... Other notes: Car has K&N air filter which has been replaced with a Fram air filter until I can get a recharge kit. Oil filter was Purolator PureONE 14459 and was on it's first OC. Oil...

Yeah, wow Memphis, that score of Ultra and the score above posted by Nick were WAAAAY better than mine. I guess I was just getting a little impatient, and this manager looked to be pretty stingy. Considering he turned down an offer before (not sure what it was exactly), I didn't want to push my...
