    Yesterday at the DMV

    Bingo. For my daughters' two drivers tests & trips to get their permit, we went 30 mins out of town to the next one over. A much quicker and easier operation, even including driving time. Plus, it gave me an excuse to get an ice cream with them. :)

    Yesterday at the DMV

    One nice thing about AAA is that you can do some DMV services there. We did a transfer of ownership there; so much quicker than waiting at our local DMV.

    Oil filter wasn't changed

    Since you're trying to diagnose what (might have) happened, here's another scenario--possibly the filter was changed, but they gave you an old filter that had been sitting around for years. As others are saying, I would look at the date code. And beyond that, if your schedule permits, I'd...

    Keeping external drive plugged in to desktop 24/7

    My concern was basically if it would wear down the drive, being plugged in 24/7.

    Keeping external drive plugged in to desktop 24/7

    I am looking for a replacement desktop for wifey. She saves tons of pics & videos (she's the family photographer), and she is maxing out a Tb on her documents partition as it is. Most computer makers on their sites, only offer up to 2 tb hard drives; I was hoping to get 4. I'm wondering--would...

    1973 New Yorker is rear-ended by Kia Forte

    I'll never forget driving a Toyota Corolla into the bumper of a large American pickup truck. Our vehicle of course had a hood that looked like an accordion; the owner of the pickup just stepped outside the vehicle, saw that nothing was damaged, exchanged contact info, and then drove off. :)

    1973 New Yorker is rear-ended by Kia Forte

    As someone here said in that recent thread comparing German, American, & Japanese cars, there is no substitute for mass. Those ratings only compare cars in a similar class.

    Fram TG 3600 and Valvoline Restore & Protect.

    At first, I was tempted to ask what the date code was--thinking we might be able to save its reputation by saying that it was an old geezer of a filter. But I don't think that would have looked good the day it was put in a box. :(

    Fram TG 3600 and Valvoline Restore & Protect.

    I only moved to the 3600 a few years back, because the 3614 seemed to have a disproportionate number of tears & stuff like the above here. Well I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what mine look like.....

    Fram TG 3600 and Valvoline Restore & Protect.

    The 3600 line was my last hope for Frams. If either of the two TG3600s look like that when I take them off later this year, I'm sworn off fram.

    How to best remove paint from electrical wiring

    Exterior trim of house just got repainted. A set of connecting wires (bared when I removed the light) for a dusk to dawn light didn't get covered up, so it got painted over. Is there a safe way to remove the paint, that won't cause corrosion at all to the wires themselves? Do I just use paint...

    Fram Tough Guard Opinions ?

    I've taken one TG to 9000 miles with pics posted here, and in a few months I should have pics for two on my cars currently that I'll take to 12-13K miles. I definitely like it for at least two of your 4K OCIs, possibly three. For just over $7 at WM it is an easy yes for me. Stude53 has some pics...

    Integrated LED dusk to dawn lights

    You are right, it does come with a replaceable bulb. I should have looked at the listing more closely. I know I have seen LED dusk to dawns that did not come with replaceable bulbs, and when I saw the word "integrated," I assumed that this one wasn't replaceable. What is interesting here (to...

    Integrated LED dusk to dawn lights

    I have a few dusk to dawn lights outside my house. The ones I have are basically install and forget about, they last for 10 years if not longer. They all came with replaceable bulbs. I need to replace one of them, and I'm noticing at Lowes new units with integrated LED lights that you don't...
