Picked up a running Honda HRR2164TDA today on Marketplace for $20. Manufactured sometime around 2007 I believe. It had barely any oil in it and a very old worn out Torch spark plug. The self-propelled feature doesn't work which is actually fine because it's just for my son to use and I'd...

So since late 2021 the bank I work for has been in the process of being bought out by another bank. They finally received regulatory approval to complete the sale a couple of months ago and we are currently in the integration phase of merging all of our systems and figuring out where there is...

Looking at about the 2005-2008 range. No towing and the vehicle will only be driven about 5k per year so power and fuel economy aren't of huge concern. Whatever vehicle I choose will get a pre-purchase mechanical inspection and then I'll bring it up to date on any maintenance. Anyone with direct...

Tomorrow I'm stuck re-training a guy that has worked for the company, in the exact same position, for over 5 years. He works a few months, goes on a leave of absence, then returns to be re-trained again every year for the entire 4+ years that I've worked there and every time he still continues...

Out of curiosity I decided to tally up what vehicles I've owned over the years. I've had a pretty good mix of domestic and Asian brands. In total I've owned 26 vehicles including 5 from GM, 4 Mopar, 5 Fords, 1 Honda, 6 Hyundai/Kia, 3 Toyota, and 2 Nissan's ranging in year from 1978 to 2021...

We decided that with all the empty parking lots on Christmas Day this would be a great opportunity to take my daughter out for her first driving lesson. We went to my old high school parking lot and showed her all the basic controls and let her cruise around the parking lot for a good half hour...

So I know Carmax has a reputation for lowballing people on their appraisals but as it turns out they do have a surprisingly good offer here and there. With me working remote permanently now we can easily get by with one vehicle and if we ever decide to go back to two we can just pay cash for...

My lawn is around 5000 square feet and takes me about an hour to mow, trim, and blow off the sidewalks. I also use my chainsaw a couple of times per year to clean up storm debris. I've got a Honda HRX mower and all the other equipment is 2 Cycle Echo stuff ranging from 2-6 years old. I've...

I suspect that this may be a rather unpopular opinion, but I actually don't mind the plastic drain plug at all! The dealer did the first two oil changes on my F-150 and I did my first one on it today at 15,000 miles. I fully expected all the gloom and doom I'd read about regarding it splashing...

What would cause the water level to drop in a toilet bowl within a few minutes of flushing? This only happens with my basement toilet. The other two on my main floor and upstairs are also new and they work great. I don't see any leaks anywhere, the tank fills fine and the bowl gets to a normal...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sebast...gine-as-we-wait-for-the-next-generation/ This is an interesting move by Nissan. I like their new engine choice. Sounds pretty stout and I like that it's still naturally aspirated. More power, supposedly improved fuel economy, but I find it unusual to...

I generally do repairs for free for friends and family that are struggling but that are at least making an effort to maintain their vehicles but are strapped for cash. I stick mostly to maintenance and simple repairs and pass on the more complex stuff. I had looked at his van about a year ago...

Hats off to Toyota for building such a safe and reliable car. I was involved in a serious accident last week in the wife's 2015 Toyota RAV4. I was at a complete stop waiting to turn into my driveway and got hit full force by a 3/4 ton crew cab Chevy towing a large metal trailer full of roofing...

So I spent quite a bit of time researching self-propelled 21 inch lawnmowers recently and was pretty set on one of the Honda HRR216K series which came with the Honda GCV 160 engine, standard 8 inch wheels, and a pretty basic rear wheel drive system and the dual blades. I found the best price in...

Vehicle in question is the RAV4 in my signature. Will be used for my wife to take to work about 10 miles each way 5 days a week and also to take kids back and forth to school which is under a mile each way. Could be used very occasionally to pull my little aluminum fishing boat but would be...

Looking for opinions on this. Looking to sell our house and upgrade to a bit larger one in the coming months. It’s in good shape but it’s not a high dollar property. Value is probably $105k or so. Owe about $80k. What are your thoughts on listing the property for sale and only offering...

Looking for opinions regarding a new truck purchase. Looking at crew cab 4x4 with the V-6 engine. Any reason to choose one over the other? Anyone on here have experience with either truck?

I had my license plates stolen and the criminals swapped my plates for a different set. They did a pretty bad job of mounting the new ones and when I saw my front one hanging down is when I noticed. Police said the swapped plates belong to the same color and model of truck but a different year...

I currently own 3 pieces of OPE that are 2-cycle: Toro S200 snowblower 32:1 mix Ryobi string trimmer 40:1 mix Poulan leaf blower 50:1 mix Is there a safe ratio I can just use for all 3 instead of having to mix separate gas cans for each piece of equipment?

I am curious about oil choices for my outboard motor. It is a Yamaha 2.5 hp four stroke. It is powering my 14 ft fisher marine john boat. I am currently running the Pennzoil FCW approved 10w30. This engine spends most of its time at or near wide open. I am not overly concerned about warranty...
