As stated, this is an intermittent issue. Turn off car and sometimes the rear tail lights, not brakes lights, will be lit. This occurs regardless if I have been running the headlights. Occasionally, re-cranking and shutting off will work but I have also observed they will come on a few moments...

Is it me or does O'Reilly Auto Parts not have nearly the clearance bonanzas (oil, car care products, etc.) as AAP or AZ? Maybe they manage their inventory better/differently?

My son has been working/living in Aspen, CO and with the snow already flying we are considering tire chains for his 2013 Escape 2WD. He lives in town and does not need to drive to work but would need these for forays to local ski areas, short trips etc. I don't see him putting on chains and...

Could not resist checking out this iconic bit of Americana. Interesting conversation with the 2 gals operating it. They are on the road for 48 weeks of the year, 6 vehicles covering the country. They both graduated this past May from college and are hired for a 12 month tour. Asked about how it...

Two stores in NC now do alignments. Bought tires yesterday and had my son's vehicle aligned for $88.99, includes color printout of before and after. I spoke with the tech who did it, he said they went to Hunter Alignment school for 3 days to learn the system. He added, "if you weren't paying...

I don't mean Exxon Valdez type spills that require kitty litter. But small used motor oil, ATF, PS fluid spills from your own DYI jobs that may spot your driveway.

Bought this off Amazon recently and put it together this week. When applying hard pressure to the pedals I occasionally get what sounds like a very slight popping sound coming from the crank area. May not be describing this accurately, any thoughts? Box is long gone and I have not called Schwinn...

Anyone have any experience with World Brake Resources (WBR) coated rotors and ceramic pads?

Even a blind hog will find an acorn. Less than 27 cents/quart. Is there a rebate on this?

Drove to Jacksonville, FL and back this week from NC. Route was I-77, I-26 to I-95 for the most part when Waze did not reroute me. Not surprisingly a lot of snowbirds in RV's of all sizes blasting down there before T'giving. One RV was flat towing a Jeep Gladiator w/a golf cart in the bed. Big...

I've been using the Clorox brand of house wash and as the price gets above $8 for something less than a gallon I'm ready to roll my own. Interested in learning what home brew others have used and the results. I'll be using a pump sprayer and the main intent is to get rid of mildew, etc., on...
