    Most long lasting key fob battery brand ?

    I got LiCB 2025s on Amazon for my VW. They wouldn't go 3 months without dying. After 2 years I had to dispose of all of them because right out of the package they wouldn't start the car. I now use Thunderbolt from Harbor Freight. I haven't had any trouble with them.

    Preowned SUV reliable models.

    My daughter is an outdoors oriented person going on long hikes, camping, backpacking trips, skiing, kayaking etc. She has a 2018 CRV with 115K miles on it. It has only had two repairs, a radio software update and cleaning debris out of the radiator shutters. Dad makes sure the maintenance is...

    Cordless tool replacement battery, $240 or $38 knock-off?

    I have Porter Cable 18v tools. Apparently the originals are no longer made so I tried the eBay aftermarket one. I spent the whopping $2 for the Allstate insurance. After 5 months the battery failed and the vendor replaced it. Nine months later the replacement failed and Allstate sent me a check...

    Teslas have highest accident rates per 1000 drivers highest of any auto brand.

    Sounds like his Mom was right. Maybe he would have ended up dead instead of hurt.

    Hatchback with Decent Performance

    I’ve had my Cannondale Synapse drop bar road bike in my GTI with the wheels on and the front passenger seat all the way forward. No damage and was easy peasy.

    First New Coffeemaker in 9 Years!

    My Brazen Plus was ordered in November of 2017. I no longer have the photos or videos of it to share. I don’t know what iteration of it it was.

    First New Coffeemaker in 9 Years!

    I don’t know about that. I did not descale it. I do descale my Moccamaster because they require it about every 3 months. I don’t remember if Behmor required it in their instructions. The Behmor would make good coffee but you needed to use more coffee or it would be weak. I do think it was a...

    First New Coffeemaker in 9 Years!

    I had a Behmor Brazen coffeemaker that never did work right. The mechanism that distributes the water over the brew basket would not do so evenly resulting in some of the grounds remaining dry. I ran water through the machine without the brew basket into a pot and I could see this. Behmor...

    Let’s hear everyone’s damage estimates!

    This little bit of damage to my VW GTI’s bumper was estimated at $1350 to $2000 depending on the body shop. My insurance agent said any amount over $1000 over my $500 deductible would result in them raising my rates on my GMC Sierra’s policy by about 50%, decreasing yearly for six years. So I...

    Got an EBike

    I have an Aventon Level 2 which I bought used for $1150. It is a class 2 but apparently can be easily made into a class 3. Because of carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis I replaced the handlebars with more swept back ones, installed Ergon grips and a suspension seat post. The mods allow me to...

    EV tops car insurance costs

    When my daughter needed a windshield for her 2018 CRV it cost $1500 due to the safety system cameras needing recalibration. Only the dealer could do it. She was happy she had the minimum deductible available on comprehensive, $100.

    Underground Residential Steel Pipes

    Asbestos cement pipe was used extensively years ago. Asbestos is not a hazard unless the pipe is broken or cut thereby releasing fibers into the air, where they can be inhaled. The fibers can eventually cause mesothelioma or lung cancer if inhaled. Similarly, asbestos which was used in floor...

    Do you use USPS informed delivery and worry about what's coming that day?

    I use it and like it. Once we were to receive several pieces of mail and nothing arrived. We reported this to USPS but there was no response. One mail piece was a Netflix DVD but at least they sent us a new one. Over all though I think it is a useful service.
