    How should i reply?

    Really? Is this true? Tim, I'm not saying you're being dishonest - not even close - but I'd really like to see some evidence that the Texas Department of Public Safety has switched a significant number of their Highway Patrol units to Amsoil and 20,000 mile OCIs. Heck, I'd be surprised to learn...

    Opinions on aftermarket seat covers....

    That place has nice seat covers, and it's located right here in Houston, but it turns out they don't do covers for passenger cars. I called the guy and he told me they mainly just stick to trucks and SUVs. The Wet Okole place has some awesome seat covers! In fact, I just ordered some sample...

    Opinions on aftermarket seat covers....

    Hmmm....gee.....that doesn't leave me many options then, does it? If I don't go aftermarket, then what? Keep it factory? Yeah, um, you see that's the problem. I don't want to destroy my FACTORY seats. Police gear - which I happen to wear for long 8 to 16 hour shifts on a regular basis in this...

    Opinions on aftermarket seat covers....

    I'm not so concerned about looking perfect, so long as they function properly. Obviously, I want them to look halfway decent, but protecting the seats is the most important part!

    Opinions on aftermarket seat covers....

    Nobody on here has an aftermarket seat cover they'd like to talk about? Maybe I need to visit www.bobistheseatcoverguy.com or something.

    is it worth leaving civil service?

    A few thoughts: 1. If you're not happy, you absolutely need to make the leap to something different. 2. If you're a go-getter like you say, civil service jobs oftentimes suck the big ones because they seldom reward go-getters. Longevity is the key with most civil service jobs. You might be the...

    Annoyed.

    Yeah, that sounds great...until you go to order your camera from another place and realize they charge $8 more for shipping than the first place. Hahahhaa.....

    JUST changed my oil filter.

    No offense, and I'm certainly not flaming anyone, but what's the deal with these "engine flushes" anyhow? For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone needs these things. Just change your oil and filter in a sensible time/mileage OCI and this should never be an issue. Right? Or am I wrong...

    Unsustainable meat farming

    Gee, thanks! I've tried for the past 19 years or so to get that monkey scene out of my head (no pun intended), and now you've just brought it back to the forefront! I, too, remember watching that film. Most of it was too gross to watch, honestly. The monkey/restaurant/brain-eating scene stands...

    Annoyed.

    Just think, with that $8 you could almost buy four quarts of Super Tech oil (taking taxes into account)!!!

    Engine Idled for 3 hours!!

    ekpolk, I know you well enough to understand you were teasing. You jarheads just can't wait to get one over on us swabby-types. It's all good, my friend. I got a good laugh out of it. But I *have* cracked a few skulls with an SL-20 flashlight....but only because there was no other choice...

    Opinions on aftermarket seat covers....

    I'm interested in buying some aftermarket seat covers. These would be for my Chevy Impala (and possibly a set for the wife's Dodge Charger). I normally don't care for aftermarket seat covers but I really need something durable for the Impala since police duty belts tend to tear up...

    Engine Idled for 3 hours!!

    Only 3 hours??? Hahahaha!!! My cop car sometimes idles for 8 hours or longer at a crack. It's been that way for the past 14 years I've been a cop and I've never once had a cop car leave me stranded on the side of the road. Although I *did* blow up a transmission during a pursuit several...

    What is the darkest virgin synthetic oil?

    The darkest I've seen is Royal Purple.

    Dodge Charger 3.5L V-6 oil recommendation....

    I made a run out to Royal Purple today to get some oil for my friends. (I just love going to that place!) Perhaps I'll re-think my strategy and use Royal Purple in both of my cars (2007 Dodge Charger & 2006 Chevy Impala). Heck, at $4/quart including tax, how can I go wrong with Royal...

    Havoline Synthetic

    I can't promise it's any good, but my buddy has been running it in his 2003 Chevy Impala Police 9C1 based on the oil life monitor for the past couple of years and his car still runs like a dream. The car is used for regular police patrol duties here in south Texas, so you *know* it's being...

    Royal Purple engine oil gives 7-8MPG improvement??

    Why does everyone bash Royal Purple??? Show me some bad UOAs of Royal Purple, and I'll gladly show you some bad UOAs of "Brand X" oil. Y'all sound like a bunch of old hens.
