So, Saturday, I went out for a haircut and some transmission oil... Annnnnnd somehow I came home with a collector(ish) muscle car, that has significant value (to me).... 2012 Mustang Boss 302 😲 These were kind of rare, only made for 2 years, limited to 4,000 units total (Only ~1,100 in...

^ hard pass for me. I would think American cars, especially something like a Buick would stick to what they are good at... This seems like an attempt at a Kia / BMW mix. Are we going to see a future car engine displacement at 1L? Family member had a ~2015 Prius-C (The compact hatchback) it...

~2012 I had a similar experience in my 328xi (s). Crazy totally unexpected 911 accident avoidance maneuver payed off ~2009 brand new Audi A4: got side swiped, pit maneuvered, then hit head on by a full size 80's Cadillac. The only reason I am alive is because of that Audi BLUF: There are...

The "5,6,7,8's" From Japan

Sounds like a very good reason to get a used oil analysis Lots of good guess' here... Only solution I could speculate is this :p Fuel Fragrance Additive

I am seeing these airless tires more and more. Even on a Bobcat down the street at a constriction site. Don't know if they have your size or $$$, but I'd look into it if it was me. About 10 years ago, guy I knew had his trailer and home tractor tires foam filled (At a Cat/Equipment company)...

100% this. I do the same. While your at it, look at the specs of most mini / temporary spares... They say stuff like do not exceed 50 MPH or even 50 mile max range! (Imagine half way thru a road trip and beeing hobbled by that) Some things were just simpler back in the day:

Retired Racing Greyhounds. Both from the same track in Florida. They are crazy fast when they want to be, but also sleep/nap/chill ~20 hours a day. LOL How fast? five and a half football fields in ~30 seconds +/- hitting 40mph+ in the stretch. Here is my younger one racing at the St...

Same here [Double] Food Comas :p

If this one blows without warrant coverage, what is it going to cost? Me? I would cut my losses and dump it at Carmax or Carvana (Or trade on something new... If you are still in love with and not afraid of another one, I was told and offered more than once that BMW makes very generous offers...

Only 24 hour food left around here is Waffle House or Sheetz/WaWa. :( Grocery Stores, WallMart, Dennys etc. All close by 10 or 11 at the latest. Sadly all the diners closed ages ago

My only experience was with a VW Gulf. The factory rack was not cheap ($400+ IIRC). But after a few goes it only took a few minutes to R&R. It was pretty slick and fit well with minimal noise. I guess that was the benefit of a factory designed vs one size fits most. TBH I left off 95% for...

Late model Honda "push" mower (It self propels ~50% of the effort required) on its 3rd season. Takes ~0.8 qts. Sticker says use 10w-30. I usually due a tilt/dump and fill late in the spring then again in the early fall - Out: Supertech 10-30 ATV/SxS semi-synth (I think) - In: thought I...

Agreed with O2SE, $15k seems Waaaaaay too low. If original and unrestored, I would avoid detailing and go for the "Barn Find" crowd, they love this stuff. If you were near Virginia and it was a manual trans I'd give you $15k and more in a heartbeat. Slight drift, pardon my ignorance (I was a...

Sorry to hear that... To each his own, America, Freedom of choice etc. LOL. ~2003 we bought one new, it was hot stuff at the time, kind of cool/kitchy. LOADED, good for a family of 4 and when the rear seats were [easily] removed would hold a very large amount of volume. Surprisingly, it was...

Is it actually common to get the nth degree interrogation about exact oil type and such in the rare event a Toyota needs an engine oil warranty claim? Not breaking shoes, just curious. I've mostly kept to spec grade and intervals, but not been married to idea (Usually because of...

- Love that Jet-A plus an additive idea - I would probably have some kind of system with a few extra fuel cans and one of those farmer hand crank or 12v transfer pumps with a top shelf filter / separator and pump fuel thru that before going into the generators tank as needed. (I would not keep...

REALLY hot and humid here in VA... 2 hours trimming and cutting, just need to blow away the trimmings... Aaaaaannnnnnd it won't start :cry:. I am beat, running out of daylight, so Army instinct kicked in and I decided to go for a quick field expedient repair: - Little (Felt?) air filter was...

Agreed on multiple levels; I know for a fact they don't give any "Breaks" or warnings. 5.0 is on speed dial and are just a few minutes away. Hate that place myself, but not many choices around my way. I probably end up there ~ once a month for the big ticket items that the grocery store or...

@Torrid what are the details on the Carvana Telsla-3? How much? (FWIW, I'd LOVE one for commuting and to save miles (and gas) on my Tacoma, but cannot stomach another monthly payment)
