    Best adhesive to repair bottom car door trim.

    You really want to use the 3M VHB tape. It is thin and super strong. All others are too thick and will fail after a while Don

    Oh I forgot to add that I have a EZ Drain valve on my car. I put the car on ramps and drain the oil directly into this container. Only the oil filter gets drained into a drain pan. So a lot less chance of a mess when only transferring that small amount of oil Don

    I work in the chemical industry. I have access to used containers that are tossed as trash. I acquired a 5 gallon container that is very similar to a Headpak container. It is thick plastic with solid and secure screw caps. You can turn it upside down and shake it and not a drop drips out. I...

    Tornado Fuel Saver- 2004 late night infomercial

    When I had my 2002 Cadillac Seville (from 2004 to 2011) I bought a Tornado just to try it. Didn't cost much and I just felt like seeing for myself. The best it ever did for me, if I remember correctly, was like 1/2 MPG increase. But that might just have been me being easier on the throttle. Don

    Shoe laces

    I saw a video quite a while ago. It showed the proper way to tie shoelaces so they stay put. I like everyone else was taught to tie a granny knot. The video shows how to tie a square knot. I do right lace over left lace. Then after making a loop in my right hand the left lace GOES UNDER the...

    Asymmetric All Season Tyres

    I have the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ on my '24 Volvo. Bought them because they had what I would call the most winter tire tread. Plenty of siping. Here in New Jersey we haven't had a bad winter in like 5 or 6 years. But this winter we had 3 snowfalls with some icing. The tires did just fine. I am...

    Replace electric rack and pinion on a 2005 Toyota Prius?

    Can you point that out? It looks like the inner tie rod is broken and needs replacement. As well as the outer tie rod. The inner tie rod is not part of the rack. It is replaceable. Don

    New tub/shower enclosure estimates - wow!

    About 7 or 8 years ago I wanted a new shower/tub installed. Called Bath Fitter as we had used them before. They quoted $10,000 for a surround. I decided that I would do it myself. Replaced the tub and shower surround, installed new flooring, new vanity sink and mirror, wallpapered and painted...

    Four tire options, which would you pick?

    Installed Vredestein QuatracPro+ on my Volvo. Very happy with them. Have about 2000 miles on them so far. Quiet and handle well. Great in the snow and ice so far that we have gotten in NJ this year. Which isn't much. I bought these because they have a tread design that seems closest to a...

    New car buyers: does warranty impact your brand choices?

    Does warranty impact my purchase? No. Never has never will. Usually the cars with the longest warranty period are not cars that I am interested in. Don

    Noisy door openers

    I replaced the openers with new Chamberlain units. These have a 1 1/4 HP motor so plenty of power. Doors are quiet again Don

    Noisy door openers

    The springs were adjusted correctly. One turn per foot of lift. 7 foot lift and he put 7 1/4 turns. So definitely not because the springs aren't adjusted right. The openers were quiet as usual while he/we were testing. They got noisy after he left. Definitely sounds like it is coming from the...

    Noisy door openers

    So yesterday I had both garage doors replaced. Now both openers are noisy. I know that I should contact the door company and have them fix whatever the issue is. But I would rather just figure it out and correct it myself if the solution is an easy one. So the old doors were a 1 1/2 inch thick...
