    Sold dad's 2003 Town Car - Panther love is real

    Yes gas mileage at 13 mpg in Chicago traffic big time kind of sucks. Yes my asking price is probably too much but I am basing it on a nationwide search of similar vehicles and I'll never know if I don't try. Yes are certainly correct I'd get attention at $5k. I'd call towing capacity at 5600...

    Sold dad's 2003 Town Car - Panther love is real

    I am going to respectively disagree with you and I'll tell you why. I just put my 2001 Blazer with 83k up for sale on Craigslist for $7500 last Monday. I did this because I am itching for one of the last new 2025 Mazda CX5's for sale. Carmax offered me $2500, and so far I have received ZERO...

    Crashed the Avalon, exploring replacement options

    Glad you are OK and as an Avalon owner, sorry for your loss. You know how good an Avalon is, if you are worried about the 8 speed why not look at the previous generation with a 6 speed? Mine runs flawlessly. As for the hybrid Camry, my GF's daughter just leased a new one. I haven't ridden in it...

    Royalty Auto Service Cuts Open 9 Oil Filters from Different Brands

    This is what I like about BITOG. There are so many "experts" here that no matter what my viewpoint is, I can find an "expert" to agree with my line of thinking :ROFLMAO:

    First time seeing- handicap bar top at a bar

    Just judging by the finish of the bar and the quality look of everything else in the picture, you drink at a much higher class of bar than i used too 🤣

    Coffee makers...what works best for you?

    I've had a Moccamaster for a few years now, and of course I had to modify it because isn't that what we do on BITOG? I use the CoffeePilot Insert. You can see the difference in the water pattern on the grounds after brewing with it. Since it's stainless steel, I run hot water over it while I...

    Started a healthy diet, when do I start to feel better?

    I personally think it was a huge amounts of fiber I was taking in. I really ate very little fiber in the past. I'd work out in the AM, then have a protein shake with blueberries, strawberries, green bananna, apple, 2 tables spoons of metamucil, chia seeds and flax seed. That's a chunk of fiber...

    FORD warns BRONCO Sport and MAVERICK owners to STOP driving them

    I've dealt with Ford engineers, and it's no surprise to me the amount of recalls and problems Ford has. It's a cultural thing that's not easily changed. The amount of time they spend in virtual meetings and shuffling emails back and forth is truly amazing to behold. In fact, virtual meetings and...

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    While technically not a truck, I think I'll stick to my 2001 Blazer for another decade. There's no depreciation, insurance is cheap, and the steel bumpers are ideal for Chicago traffic. :ROFLMAO:

    Car Care Nut: Aftermarket oil filter housing concern.

    I've been replacing the filter on my 2018 Avalon and my sisters' 2018 Rav4 since new. One has the metal housing, the other plastic. Never had a problem with either, I don't see what the fuss is about. I treat it like an ordinary filter, I remove the entire housing and never remove the end cap...

    Started a healthy diet, when do I start to feel better?

    Agreed. Nick Norwitz is an example of this. Next time I see my doctor I'm going to ask for a carotid ultrasound and a heart scan. If my arteries are clear, hell I'll go back to the ribeye steaks for sure. :ROFLMAO:

    Started a healthy diet, when do I start to feel better?

    These are the guidelines from the American Heart Assoc. about saturated fat. I realize that our Health Secretary JFK has different ideas, and I don't criticize anyone who chooses that path. https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/fats/saturated-fats

    Started a healthy diet, when do I start to feel better?

    Beef is high in saturated fat. That's the type of fat that clogs arteries. Chicken and lean cuts of pork have much less saturated fat
