Over the years , I worked with a few accounting MBAs that were also a CPA who made awful personal financial decisions. . I guess I had better expectations?

Blatant negligence from a company running a complete rotbox for a limo shouldn't translate into stupid laws and regulations for the average DIY'er but we all know it will. How much would it have cost the company to put new brake lines and calipers/pads/rotors on that?

I believe the state outlawed stretch limousines entirely now? I remember that was crazy when it happened. Sketchy repairs on a vehicle transporting a lot of people ... no good. Are limos held to the same standard as buses? Guess it doesn't matter when the guy runs stuff that was placed out of...

I believe it's actually retaliation. We have a handful of complaints in with this postal carrier. But whatever. We have to play their game to get our mail.

We stopped getting mail delivered. Again. Apparently these tall mail trucks hit a branch near the mailbox and stopped delivering mail. The postal carrier had a letter to put in our mailbox letting us know about the tree ... but didn't put it in the mailbox because they were refusing delivery ...

And lower RPM. Lawnmowers usually run 3600 - 4000?

12 years ago it was pennzoil yellow bottle for everything.

I hope---if it actually comes out--it doesn't get Maverick'd once it ends up being popular.

I drove my truck for a week ... $130 later. Phew! It doesn't get driven much so it gets ethanol free. Around here, ethanol free is only 90 or 91 so its comes with a premium. Sticking to the Mercury which isn't much better. I'm regretting the Dorman intake.

I have a spot that has a hard time growing due to shade, not due to lack of water. However the lawn has to be mowed at the lowest setting so it dries up quicker when we get rain.

A previous job of mine learned the hard way that you can't revoke that privilege from good earners. CEO didn't want work from home for his salespeople. He had us measure every possible metric on the salespeople. Hands down, they all produced significantly more sales and leads on days they were...

I can't get the Real ID from my state because neither my birth certificate nor my social security card have my middle name on them. Maybe I don't officially have a middle name officially!? SSA says to speak to the county to get a corrected birth certificate. County says get an updated social...

That's interesting! Did not know that! They are a Mitsubishi platform right? I know the CVTs are Nissan.

On a GTDI engine, upping the octane will increase fuel economy.

I'm using 0w-20 in my 255,000 mile Ford 5.4L. There's something awry under the drivers side valve cover. If I cold start it with 5w-30 or higher it makes weird noises on cold mornings. 0w-20 it doesn't. A 2 valve 5.4 with an oil cooler that was originally spec'd for 5w-20 probably isn't a great...

If you're shopping for a midlife crisis car, a Polaris Slingshot might be a few decades down the road ...

Cursing the @#$@34ing @#$@#$er who @#$@#ed up this @#$@#$ing differential by using all the @#$@#$ @#$ shims in the rebuild kit. I've never had to take a differential apart so many times!

Randomly and intentionally. I run a few adopt a highway events. People are slobs

Back in 2011, I put a lot of miles on a Focus I bought brand new for under $15000! Reimbursement rate for me was $.58 a mile. The car more than paid for itself , insurance, maintenance. Im not sure thats viable today. A $11000 car already has 250,000 miles today

Toyota is just replacing a bunch of engines without them failing as far as I have heard. Good way to be. Not giving people the runaround. Are they footing the supplier with the bill like they did with frames? Dana got really screwed on that mess.
