    Time for new brakes, Saturn Ion Redline

    Rockauto stocks brembo uv coated rotors for $49 each and pads for $44.79. I would go that way, and you will probably get it for cheaper than the local parts store.

    Buying a ROKU streaming device: beware of this

    Roku is an ad agency, their software is restricted to only their propriatory app store. If you are cool with this then buy them, I personally avoid anything Roku.

    Vehicle feels slightly more sluggish after new spark plug change

    I don't gap the iridium plugs either. My GDI Tuscon needs plugs every 30k so I just toss them in at that interval. I use the NGK IX Iridium (cheapest) from Advance auto. I don't buy plugs online anymore I got counterfeit ones from amazon twice, and ebay once.

    John Deere 10w30

    i buy lawnmower oil for my deere self propelled only because it comes in a 20oz bottle, allowing for a perfect oil change with no guesswork. I know i'm overpaying but I don't care. I typically use supertech lawnmower oil, and change it once a year. My deere is 15 years old and runs like new.

    Has anyone been denied an airline flight

    If you have the same name as someone on a TSA list, you can apply for a Redress number and you won't have that problem anymore. I read about this recently as we just went through the TSA Precheck process.

    2015 Mitsubishi Mirage high mileage 1.2 Ltr. engine tear down

    There are a ton of them in South Texas. Me personally I don't think they are big enough to be safe with the jacked up trucks and maniac drivers.

    Going to an NBA game - any suggestions?

    Correct, we go to a few Spurs games each year. There is a steakhouse/bar that offers a ride to and from the game if you purchase a steak entree. Beers inside are $14 so its nice to get a good meal and have a ride, in a school bus to the game. https://www.josephinestreet.com/spurs.php

    Why 93 Octane in a GDI engine if it isn’t called for?

    My Tuscon sometimes pings a little when cold on 87. Seems to be doing it less since I dose it with gumout pretty frequently. I wouldn't put 93 in it though.

    Input needed for Cruise trip insurance

    I use squaremouth if you want to cover the whole trip. I use the cruise ship's own insurance if I go on a cruise and don't need to cover flights, etc. Either way you most likely need health insurance for the cruise ship, as your carrier will not cover sea travel.

    Texas about to do away with auto inspections

    Texas safety inspections in Bexar county are the dumbest thing ever. Honk the horn, check the wipers, and drive the car around the parking lot. Total inspection time is 3 minutes. The new place I take my cars to doesn't even drive the car around the parking lot, so it takes two minutes. I...
