    Do you live in the Midwest?

    Actual recent (and seriously scientific) poll results of state residents. My native/beloved Indiana did not score as high as I would have hoped, but it is not as shameful as others…

    I’m not sure what Tim did, but it must have been bad.

    The whole county is down on him.

    Delo 15w-40 HDEO $5/gallon after rebate at Bi-Mart ($5/gallon rebate elsewhere, too)

    Bi-Mart has Chevron SDE Delo 15w-50 for $10 on a Black Friday sale, just a few days left (the 29th I think). You do NOT need to be a Bi-Mart member, they are open to all during the Black Friday “Open House.”...

    Shameful: Kevin Bacon’s Sunday morning Pancake recipe. No bacon, and, uh, no pancakes.

    This is even worse than the 1/2 gallon ice cream containers that are now 1.5 qts. Shameful. Kevin Bacon’s pancake recipe he makes for his family No pancakes, and no bacon. Maybe some blueberries if you are lucky. And no bacon: C’mon, man. You are Kevin Bacon. You can do better.

    Talk to me about the 2nd Gen Durango (2005-2009)

    I drove a neighbor’s late 2nd Gen Durango today. I had not been in one before, and I liked it. I had test-driven 1st gen ones long ago and not liked them much, but this was a very different beast. I have an older SUV I have been thinking about “upgrading” next year. This has the size I like and...

    The company cars of American Greeting Corp., and the bad things we did to them, 1980-2013

    So I realized that I was bellyaching like a child, having to do a head gasket job on a 2007 Equinox. Then I took a few hours to think about the big picture. And I realized I was being a whining child, given the big picture. My whining, to my discredit...

    What exactly is a “GM fuel disconnect tool”?

    Thanks to reasons I will not vent here (did elsewhere), I need to do a head gasket job on a GM 3400. I gather I need a unique tool like this to get the fuel rail off? I’m not opposed to the $10 or less it costs, just checking there is not an obvious work-around. I have a general suspicion and...

    What is this Dexcool reservoir sludge/gel, and how do I get rid of it?

    I went to do a radiator drain/fill on a family 2007 Equinox today. I last serviced that in 2017, 43.3k miles ago, refilling it then with NAPA dexcool per my notes. Nothing added since then. There was this nasty white gel in the upper part of the reservoir, and a serious brown sludge in the...

    Minor damage on glass cooktop. Opinions?

    We have this minor damage on a glass cooktop that has been used well 10+ years. Minor pitting in the glass surface. My question is: Is it inevitable this will crack, or just stay the same? I am guessing it’s hydraulic damage/erosion from a small chip(s) that then were expanded from steam as...

    Good plastic/trim restorer?

    Is there a new(er) wonder-chemical trim restorer that truly lasts? Has to also be color neutral, not just for black. I’ve been using the boiled linseed oil method and it’s good - I get a year or two out of one application. But it’s finicky and requires drying inside to avoid dust when wet...

    School me on older MB Crossovers/mid-sized SUVs (ML350, etc)

    In the market for a less expensive, slightly older Crossover or mid-SUV. A clean, lower-to-average mile RX330 would be ideal, an XC90 2.5t probably OK, but those have been hard to find. What would a similar Mercedes be, and similar options? ML350? I have casually read good things about it, but...
