    Make your predictions for 20 years from now...

    It's a myth that we'll go electric and lose the petroleum. Imagine stripping hydrogen from methane and dumping the carbon into a bye bye well. Win win. You get the cheap energy of petro with the clean burn of EV. Just one cheap and reliable fuel cell away from fruition... As billions more...

    Make your predictions for 20 years from now...

    Everything Tesla related... 20 yrs from now most Motörheads will be dead. The people you're thinking to replace them don't have any interest in cars, lease with no passion and have no idea how to open a hood. Within two decades everything will be electrified, possibly not using batteries...

    How long can I push this oil fill?

    What is going to happen to oil just sitting there? Nothing. The filter goes by miles filtered. The oil has enough add pack to counter any acids from short tripping from such low mileage. Condensation will happen no matter how often you change the oil. As soon as you drive the car and get the...

    Said I'd never own one

    Funny how the old Troy Bilt stuff got rebranded Craftsman by Lowes. Any oil is fine. Srsly it's a Briggs it'll run on a water/sand mix.

    early OCI because of HIGH REVVING

    Redline? You need to trade that into the dealer ASAP and pray they don't question why. Everybody knows once you floor a car it's for the junk heap. I'll take that heap off your hands if you're interested in private sale. Due to the abuse the car suffered I offer no more than $500. It's probably...

    Best Sap Remover

    Eh paints are usually alcohol safe or gas safe but usually not both. Guess which one won't harm the paint on a GASOLINE fuel vehicle... I'd kerosene/paint thinner (for oil paints) and rub until gone. Stay away from alcohol on your paint, brake fluid after all is an alcohol too! Bug/tar...

    1999-2004 Grand Cherokee

    Do you hate life? Those things were crap from the dealers lot. I can't imagine two decades later they aged like a fine wine. Although you may hear several whines from the transmission! Stick to a nice (and equally cheap) late model with warranty or the wrangler/Cherokee. Grand had too many...

    How to check for coolant flow in a Jeep 4.0L?

    The temp gauge on this engine isn't real. It's a go, no go that suddenly spikes into the red zone upon overheating. I found this out the hard way during a coolant leak! It's also mentioned in the service manual. Temp is only accurate until warm. Then it can display anywhere below red and past...

    Jeep TJ Running Rough Before & After Repairs

    Check engine doesn't mean much. You have codes... They're just not bad enough to display yet. View them by cycling key on off three times or use code scanner. The ecu is pretty good about telling u what to do next. 90 percent certain it's a throttle position sensor. They go bad you don't get...

    Filing for divorce

    The previously divorced bit you should stay away from, especially if you never married before. Kinda like a lemon car, fix away but it's ultimately a money pit. One divorce tops and ONLY if she has solid career/life and doesn't rely on ex. Nothing material is worth your health and well being...

    Any Legal Eagles Here? Lawyer Question ...

    Unless there's a lawyer from your state on here your question is moot. Here in NY you'd definitely have to get an eviction which is a process unto itself. There are $1000 divorce attorneys that can provide the initial consult and paperwork. You and your son should ask a ton of questions. If...

    700 vs. 29" bike tires

    Yep, 29ers were originally just wider tires on laced up 700c road bike rims. You gotta work with what you have when prototyping. After it caught on the tires became wider still and the rims more stout. Interestingly enough diamondback bikes did the first 29er mountain bike in the mid eighties...

    Pixel 3 announced today

    I just wait for the sales on Samsungs. OLED displays and trade in of some crappy phone I broke and $400-550 it's all mine with no monthly payment nonsense. Bonus tip, always buy unlocked and take it to whichever carrier is offering the best deal currently

    YouTube Posters Question

    So you hate Google, cool. So you have credit cards? Most retailers are selling your transaction data these days, often back to Google! Go to the pharmacy? Your prescription data is not private anymore. Thanks obamacare! Companies like these are creepy cause they're run by nerds who aren't...

    Thicker oil civilization is taking over

    I hear the ladies say thicker is better too. But seriously what do they know about motor oil?

    Ethanol and increased pollution

    Wow and I thought reformulated fuels were supposed to REDUCE pollution. All this time everybody was crowing about biofuels and how wonderful they are. Automakers were forced to build flex fuel vehicles. Trump gets elected and suddenly biofuel DESTROYS the planet and violates the Paris accords...

    YouTube Posters Question

    Dude what? The amount of data being generated every hour on YouTube means you're a fly peeing in the wind. If you have an android phone running Google play services you're already giving them more data than you wish. You're on this board. ip information every time you use it.

    keys to a plane

    Little planes have keys like a car. Airlines you can walk right up to and start. Two things getting in the way. Cockpit door has lock, but often kept open on the tarmac. Then the preflight, which your average mouth breather couldn't comprehend looking at hundreds of buttons. Security through...

    Windows 10 1809 is out

    Reading this conversation makes me miss leaving windows so much! Yeah I know macs are more expensive. But looking back, screwing around with windows installs and settings eats thousands of dollars of your time over the lifespan of a computer. I can also decide not to use their cloud and "user...
