I recently read this: Folks, this thread is over three years old. If you want to talk about beaters, please start another thread. At other times, posters are scolded and told to "search the topic...existing threads are already out there" when they make a new thread. What exactly is the...

Several of my 20 something co-workers were all jacked up about this stupid water bottle. I knew right away it was going to be another version of the Yeti cooler delirium. What the heck is wrong with people, who will literally fight in a store to grab the latest FAD off the shelf? Are people...

https://news.yahoo.com/vietnamese-ev-maker-vinfast-unveils-224051368.html VinFast also recently launched a factory in North Carolina to supply EVs for the American market. Like I said before, don't judge this company too harshly while in its infancy.

Took a trip to Barrow AK, or Utqiagvik if you prefer. Its the northernmost point of North America. On the north side of it, a tiny peninsula juts out even further north into the Arctic Ocean. This is exactly where Polar Bear feeding excursions take place. I walked out into the sea, stepping over...

Has anyone here on BITOG done this? I am nearing retirement and I had a random thought to do this road trip once I am "off the clock". I could cross from Maine into NB, then NS, then take an auto ferry to Newfoundland to the Argentia ferry terminal, then drive to St. Johns and stay there 2-3...

Doing a remodel on a flip house, my recently retired brother is doing all the work. I am busy with full time shift work, but I am happy to help with the heavy loads. Brother arrives at my house with lowboy trailer behind his Z-71. Everythings look fine. We head to Houston 30 miles away. Buy half...

On a road trip, LR tire 265-70-16 got a big bubble. Pulled into Indy tire shop, the guy installed used 265-75-16. We drive another 200 miles, never noticing anything. No pull, no nothing. Look at new used tire the next morning, notice it’s a 75 instead of a 70. YES I know this is not optimal...

First time in my life, I have had a trans failure. 2004 Avalanche, 225K miles. Cha-ching!

My co-worker is looking for a used Chevy Silverado. I told him from 2007 on there is an issue with their AFM systems. I know there are ways to disable or delete the AFM system. My question is, did the this issue ever get resolved, basically? If so, what year model Silverado is safe to buy with...

As everyone knows, we had a generational cold event in Texas. Please limit your replies to vegetation damage. What is the prognosis for the palm and citrus trees along the Gulf Coast? I ask because I read conflicting information on line, and would like to hear some real world experiences.

What songs do you like that have cars or trucks in their lyrics. I will start it out: "I go out ridin' in my 6.6!"

Some have vehicles that get to a point where only the filter is changed periodically, and oil never changed but is only topped off as needed. Most of these are adding a quart every 500-1000 miles. Any UOA's of these?
