What is the deal? My folks have gone through three overhead microwaves 17 years! They are very good about not using it empty, putting metal or metal plated objects into it. They also tried using a line protector on the previous one, it appeared to have no positive effect. However...

While just disconnecting the battery to reboot the ECU didn't work with my situation, after I had a terrible hesitation problem on acceleration, the car idled fine, and seemed OK when cold, but as soon as the engine would reach normal operating temperature the car literally would stall when...

Actually it seems like the employees are pretty well trained compared to what you might find at iffy Lube. However, the CEO is totally a clueless wonder, who has no understanding of what his own employees actually do, why did the company choose this guy? Some hilarious moments to be had when...

Excellent consumer series that airs on CBC called Marketplace. Nice to know that the CBC has no influence from advertisers so they have no reason to hide the truth about fraud from consumer businesses like this EconoLube oil change chain in Canada. I wish we could find a way to get this aired...

New Milford Volkswagen is closing its doors after 65 years in business, it was one of the earliest VW dealers in the USA. Here is the link: New Milford VW dealership closing down after 65 years in business! I think that VW would be wise to keep this tiny store open somehow, it is a milestone...

I for one would like to salute the Union workers on strike at the Port of Los Angeles, they are not only standing up for their rights, but also helping to stall the never ending importation of Chinese made junk flooding into our country. This is actually encouraging some who have imported...

I just noticed that Valvoline DOES manufacture G-48 under the Zerex G-48 name, and have seen the actual container here on a Valvoline site. Where can you actually buy this in the USA? OK, Valvoline folks fess up.

More sleazy antics from your typical $tealership. Automotive News: Subaru sues Calif. dealership, claims it filed false customer surveys The brazenness is simply astounding.

I've been watching Brian, who is a Ford certified master technician on YouTube for some time now and his channel is called "FordTechMakuloco" He worked at a Ford dealer for quite a long time and now is branching out on his own. I have learned so much from Brian, and since my folks own a Ford...

There is another thread here concerning the differences between DOT 3 and DOT 4. However I think something that is being ignored in the different chemistry that is used in different brands and each spec as well. One of the most critical issues is that I have heard even here on BITOG that...

For those of you that have been using the preview versions what do you think of it and how does it compare to Windows 7, and 8.1? I was really hoping that MS would allow users to simply choose a desktop based UI or other when first registering and setting up the software. While you can still...

Today the people of Scotland are voting in a national referendum on independence for the country after nearly 300 years under the rule of England. Live video here. Telegraph Newspaper. We all know what William Wallace would want.

I'm not Canadian but it doubt this can be good for the customer, especially the Tim Horton customers. TH donut and coffee quality is very good, as is the customer service, but the same cannot be said of BK when it comes to the food or service. Bottom line, bad for the customer, good for the...

With all the massive recalls going on now, I'm surprised that more folks haven't started to realize the obvious..that cars have reached the point of being too complex for their own good, now for small production items that can transport large amounts of people (eg. planes) it might be manageable...

Just noticed recently that upon acceleration engine seems to die out OCCASIONALLY not all the time. Then when you let it come back to lower rpms it will function normally. Not a misfire from what I can tell, it just seems like the engine loses all power. I noticed also it will idle just fine...

I was just posting on the thread about keeping a fire extinguisher in cars. I have wondered about the simple fact that as cars age things can fail randomly at any time. I was primarily thinking about fuel leaks or electrical failures that could cause a fire, when you are asleep. Many homes...

Was just speaking to my Mom yesterday, and she told me about how her friend's 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid which cost around $28,000 and has 9,000 miles on it was in for a mundane oil change at the local Toyota dealer in the upstate area of SC. They go to pick up the car and drive it home, about...

My folks A/C stopped working yesterday. A 17 y/o Trane unit. The unit was inspected just this past May by the heating and air company they use to do bi yearly inspections. A couple of years ago the service tech opened the service panel in the furnace where the coils are located and mentioned...

In another case of globalist arrogance causing blowback, Russia has told NASA that its astronauts are banned from using the ISS beginning in 2020. NASA has no other way of getting to the space station except for Russian rockets. Looks like the arrogant globalist western leaders are going to...

Could it be? Found this thread over on DSL Reports.com http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29231563-Rant-Had-to-back-up-defend-the-bus-driver-today The MO is very similar. Enjoy.
