I've driven past two accident scenes where a trailer detached from the car towing it on the highway. Nothing but kindling sized pieces of scrap left. Totally disintegrated.

I wrote to Redline to ask which fluid they recommended for my 2016 ND Miata 6spd. They responded that I should use MT-90. That's what I used 5 years and 20,000 miles ago. The shift quality seemed the same or maybe a little better in the cold and has remained good.

I changed the manual trans. fluid at 15k with Redline MT-90. Seemed to shift a little better when cold after the change. Changed the differential fluid at 15k as well with Mazda recommended Mazda Long Life Hypoid Gear Oil SG1. All of my other cars I change the oil between 7k and 10k, but, the...

Thanks for all of the great info and advice everyone!

Time for a new furnace. Are there any pros/cons to a one stage versus a two stage furnace? Is Bryant a decent brand? Is 96% efficiency good for a modern furnace? I seem to recall going for super high efficiency had some downsides, perhaps longevity. TIA.

Now ringing up for $10.45 for a 5qt jug. Bought a couple today. Single qts. were $3.35.

I asked the local SE Michigan store to scan a 0w-20 and a 5w-20 (the only viscosity they had left). Both were $18.95. I passed.

Brings back memories. My dad owned one (72' I believe) when I began driving. That thing was huge. If I remember correctly it had a 429ci. with a 4 barrel carb. I remember getting it up to 100mph after dropping the parents of at the airport. Dumb kid!

Wolf's Head was a big seller in Michigan back in the 70's when I was a kid working at Murray's Auto Parts store. I recall my high school auto shop teacher (shout out to Mr. Zittleman) was a big fan of it. For some reason he thought that crude oil from Pennsylvania was superior to crude from...

The tread pattern is a good recipe for snow/ice. I put CC2's on my RX350 a couple of years ago. They handled the Michigan winter better than any of the many all season tires I've run while living in MI most of my life. To me, there wasn't any increase in noise over the OEM Michelin's installed...

I owned strictly "American" cars for the first 40 years of driving. Purchased my first Japanese car (Miata) because there really wasn't an American equivalent. Then, when I was able to afford a luxury vehicle, I got ticked off at the Lincoln dealer and went with a Lexus. So far the Mazda has...

You didn't by chance change oil filter brand when you put the Amsoil in did you?

Peets Major Dickasons blend is my favorite

I can't recommend enough a Mazda Miata. Great fun to drive. Very reliable and easy to maintain. Excellent fuel economy. Beautiful to look at IMO, especially in soul red. Did I mention great fun to drive. This was my late 50's, "something special" car. I still look forward to hopping in it every...

Do you need to post from your phone, or, can you download the photo to your PC then upload to bitog from there? If you can use a PC, the standard Windows 11 photo editor has a resize option that's easy to use.

I know it's repetitive, but, double up, soft ear plugs and cans. Take it from an old guy that used to shoot on a weekly basis in my youth. Even though my hearing is now diminished, I seem more sensitive to range noise. Last trip to the range the guy in the lane next to me brought out a .40 cal...

Milorganite 3 times per year. Early spring, early fall, late fall Grubex grub killer granules. End of May or early June This kept my lawn looking pretty good for 25 years. A few years ago I had a Crab Grass invasion, so, I had to add Weed control/Crab Grass killer liquid in early spring. I try...

I've used this model for a dozen years. Still works great. It's come in handy for several different jobs. Recommend...

Rode the "Metro" train/subway in Washington DC every weekday for 2 years. Great experience. Very reliable. I've lived in Southeast Michigan for most of my life and the public transportation systems of buses has a terrible reputation for being unreliable and nasty. My experience in D.C. and...
