I currently drive about 5,000 miles a year and change the conventional oil once a year in the fall. If i were to switch to a quality synthetic oil, what's the longest time you would go? I don't know the engine because I'm considering this for a future vehicle. It won't be any high performance or...

I’m looking for an SUV. I have some in mind, but wanted to know if I left any off the list. My needs are it has to seat 4 people comfortably, tow 5,000 pounds and have some off road abilities. The ones I’m currently considering are Tahoe/Yukon, Grand Cherokee, Explorer and 4 Runner. I’m looking...

I’m looking for a dash cam. I want it to have the ability to run on a DC cord and have a battery backup built in. I’d prefer the ability to save small videos or at least mark them to look at later. It will go from vehicle to vehicle so a good mounting system is a must. What are you using?

About a month ago, the right front brake locked up. I had it towed to the mechanic and when he looked at it, the brake freed itself and the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. I've been driving it since and it hasn't done it again. Any ideas what would cause that?

I'm looking to get a smoker. I don't know much about them. I've looked at high end units from Weber and Traegger down to entry level units from Chargrill and Charbroil. What are the pros and cons of electric, propane, charcoal or wood pellets? What size do you have?

I heard that Tesla upped the range of cars in Florida during the hurricanes and you can upgrade the power after you purchase. That means it's all in the software. Has anyone heard of after market programming to access the extra power and range?

I'm looking to buy a CPO 13-15 Ford Explorer. I'm looking for the NA V6. I'm not concerned about AWD or FWD. Are there any known major problems or concerns with these?

I inherited this truck from my dad. Today was the first time I changed the oil. The filter that came off of it was a Valvoline VO-105. The recommended filter from NAPA is a 21372. The NAPA filter is too big and it won't even reach the threads. The outside diameter is too large. We crossed...

Quote: AAA says it's just money out the tailpipe — lots of it. In a national survey on gasoline use, AAA said 16.5 million U.S. drivers spent $2.1 billion they didn't need to in the past year on premium gasoline...

Who has done it? How much do you use per car? How much of a pain is it? What PPE is needed? How long does it take per car? Any other advice?

I recently inherited an 02 F150 from my father. It's not a daily driver and sits outside. I'm looking for a product that will offer long term protection on the paint. I'm not that concerned about shine. I was leaning towards Nufinish, and started looking at Duragloss after the lengthy debate in...

I recently bought a can of Meguiars cleaner wax. I've used the product for years. After using the new can, the beading on two different cars was terrible. I contacted Meguiars, and the response I got was basically that beading doesn't equal protection. They did offer to send me a can of their...

I took my car to get oil sprayed, and there's some over spray on the windows. The rear window is the worst. I've cleaned the rear window twice, but still get some streaking. What can I use to clean the oil, that won't leave a film on the window?

They found possible debris. http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/31/world/mh370-debris-investigation/ I can't imagine there's a ton of Boeing 777 debris floating in the ocean, so it's probably from the missing flight. I'm sure this doesn't sit well with conspiracy theorist, or it just feeds into...

A conversation I never thought I'd have on a forum....... Does anyone have any experience with premium underwear like Tommy John or Duluth Trading? At $20-30 a pair, is it worth the money? Does it last as long as they claim? Is it cooler and more comfortable? Any other premium brands?

How often do you change the oil in your air compressor? I just changed mine, and I think the last time was a few years ago. I use it for a few small jobs. No idea how many hours it gets run.

Lately, it seems like people are getting really paranoid. On this forum, to me, paranoia seems really high. A while back, I mentioned that I used Progressive's Snapshot. There were numerous post about not letting them collect info, they'll use the info against me, and Progressive is "out to...

Tonight at 8:30 Eastern, ESPN will broadcast the H-D Flat track race from the X Games at COTA. I'll DVR it and try to watch this weekend. http://racerxonline.com/2015/06/03/ama-pro-flat-track-riders-set-to-participate-in-x-games

I know the other thread got a little contentious. Hopefully this one stays civil. Victory has teamed up with Roland Sands and Cycle World to race Pikes Peak. Here's a video and small story. http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/05/21/pro...n-engine-video/ As I said in the other thread, I think...

I have an iPhone, and a coworker has an Samsung. When I text pictures to him, they show up as a slide show. The picture is small and he can't zoom in to see the picture. The pictures he sends me are fine, and I'm the only person he has this problem with. Any ideas what's going on here? I'm not...
