    Same here in NYS. I do see it in PA however.

    Is there a downside to using E-15 in a newer vehicle

    I believe that most new vehicles are now approved foe the use of e15. I know that my buddy’s EQUINOX, my daughter’s CIVIC and my VENZA are all now approved in their owner’s manual.

    Do you have an order or build sheet for any of your vehicles?

    I have the build sheet for the 1980 Firebird FORMULA in my signature that I bought(ordered) this car brand new. I found it years later while doing some maintenance on the car. It was in a plastic bag tucked up inside of the fender well. I never saw it til about 20 + years later. However, I do...

    Wife's CR-V needs struts.

    The best that I can get out of aftermarket shocks/struts these days is about 2-3 years. If you're only going to keep the CR-V a short time after the strut replacement then fine. However, if you are going to keep'er for any length of time, get the OE.

    Chasing down a vibration noise

    Very Good, well done! Because I can't see the repair, I didn't know if this was a quick fix til you could get it repaired/repair it yourself using new parts. I too have fixed/rigged things that were as good or better than buying brand new parts. Way-to-go! (y)

    Conducting your business inside a coffee shop

    IDK if this has been mentioned. I see more & more job interviews taking place at coffee shops. Some of those interviews may in fact be for that coffee shop however, many are not. As a patron of that coffee shop, I don’t really care. But as an interviewee myself once, I hated it!

    Who will be the last to keep their logo

    There are logos on some vehicle brands that I’ve never liked. Some of those vehicles are not sold on our shores and only sold in other markets. I do however like badging on vehicles, front & rear. Even some badges on the side/front fenders. e.g. 5.0 I’m not the biggest fan of black edition...

    What would you recommend to raise VRP oil viscosity?

    Can you return some of the VRP 5W20 and buy/exchange for some 5W30? I wouldn’t mess with the VRP. Just buy the 5W30 for his application.

    Chasing down a vibration noise

    If you’re saying that the vibration is in the rear, I’ve often had to fix the muffler heat shield on vehicles. A rivet(s) that are mounted to that shield, above the muffler(attached to the underside of the trunk) had broken/rotted, causing the vibration. Hmmm IDK, give it a look see!

    I just ordered my Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3

    My buddy has CC2's on his Sienna and they're going way past their wear out warranty. They're loud(er) but that's not what he notices nor cares about. What he notices is that he doesn't have to change out summer/all season tire to winter tires every season and feels like he's getting his monies...

    Firestone Destination LE - anyone have these?

    Are they the Destination LE, LE2 or LE3? They've always been a good tire and I have recommended them to others over the years and they've been happy with them. They have always done well in foul weather, ride & handle decently but I can't remember if they are a quiet tire.

    I just ordered my Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3

    Hi loneryder, The TireRack site states...$20.50 per tire instantly with every tire purchase on the Scorpion AS PLUS 3. I had a typo earlier in my statement by saying, $21.50, my mistake! I did a little searching in other sizes and sadly it's not on every size. However, some sizes actually have...

    I just ordered my Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3

    After reading all of the reviews of these Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3 tires and watching the TireRack's video on them, I finally ordered 4 from the TR for my '23 VENZA LE (225-60-18). There is a $100 Pirelli rebate(7/17- 8/6) on these tires(others too) as well as $21.50/tire($82) right off the...

    2025 Honda Pilot

    My understanding is that the 3.5L V6 in the new Pilot has been reworked more for the emissions than power. Keep in mind that this video is from 2023 when the Pilot was redesigned. At 2:54 in the video, Alex explains more about how the engine is new as well as the whole vehicle. And IMHO, Alex is...
