original battery in my wife 2011 Audi S5 with 48,000 miles. Kept on a battery tender over the winter as it’s never driven in bad weather

Every other year. I have several cars that on are on an every other year basis and with full synthetic oil and getting them up to temp before shutting them off, have not had a problem

good job not escalating beyond what you did. Time to reflect and get better, giving more grace and kindness to others even when they are being rude and inconsiderate to you and others. i have learned it’s not up to me to teach someone a lesson by trying to correct their bad behavior . Teach...

This may force the manufacturers to make cars more difficult to steal. If you can’t get insurance, you can’t get a loan, if you can’t get a loan, most people can’t buy a new car. They will just choose a different car From a different manufacturer.

Every other year with a new filter, mostly full synthetic but some Synblends on the older GM stuff. Been doing it this way on the following vehicles, some for decades. 1965 Corvette 396/425hp 1967 Camaro RS/SS 350/325hp 2011 Corvette Grand Sport 2016 Challenger Hellcat 2001 Jeep Wrangler 4.0...

Every 2 years in my classics (67 Camaro and 65 Vette) and garage queens 2011 Grand Sport and Challenger Hellcat. Once a year in everything else.

State Farm is the #1 Auto Insurer in both terms of premiums written and policies in force in the US..

I winterize our 2 GTX 260s the same way every year. We get well below freezing temperatures all winter long. Change oil and filter. Put fuel stabilizer of choice in a full tank of non-ethanol premium fuel. I then run the ski filling it with pink RV antifreeze thru a garden hose with a funnel...

I’ve only heard the Merc drives are the ones with the possible overheating problem. Never had an issue with either Merc or VP as far as drives go. I think the reason you cannot find one for the Volvo is that it’s simply not an issue if the drive is properly maintained and has the correct lube...

Our property taxes on a 6000 sq ft home keep going up and up. I love having all the space, and we do not have a mortgage. It will be the taxes that eventually do us in and make us move.

I’d keep looking.

Plenty of M1 15w50 on hand as well at Rotella T6 5w40 and some Valvoline VR 1 from the recent Woot score. Engines have cats of course, does the high zinc in the M1 and VR1 make these oils unsuitable in the modern marine engines? Worried T6 will shear down during our 6400 rpm runs down LOTO. Thanks

70% isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber towel. Do not saturate. Dab the area and let dry. Works great on my wifes silver alcantara seats in her S5.

Boats are expensive in every way. My current boat is 30’ with 2 inboard/out board Volvo Pentas. Double the fun, but double the maintenance and 1.5 times the fuel

You were a lot calmer than i would have been once he threw out the D word. He might have been picking up his teeth in the parking lot. Good on you for staying cool and being the better person.

I have a 2014 Audi S8 with the 4.0 TT. I have been using Mobil One Euro 0w40 and oil changes every 5k. So far, so good!

I really like the look of the C8, and that color combo in particular. What a present that will be! I still prefer my 65 big block to any modern Vette.

$225.00 for black lug nuts. Plus tax. lol

We encountered rattlesnakes on our hikes in the CA desert several times. They are fascinating, beneficial creatures. I looked forward to seeing them and was disappointed if we didn't. I have respect for them but are not afraid of them as they are very predictable. They will detect you long...

It's a known fact that long, sustained high speed runs are especially hard on B3 outdrive gear lube. If most of the hours are that type of operation, then that might explain the oxidation. Many people install a Shimonek shower on their B3s to help cool them. Simple and effective. Check the paint...
