    New vehicles with a 4 speed transmission?

    Originally Posted by macarose The Journey is the last of the breed. The Corolla had a 4-speed with the L trim until 2016. The 2.4L engine is also well over a decade old as well. The long-term reliability of the Journey is horrible with that powertrain. Many of those vehicles have been bought...

    Fireworks and dogs

    I just tried to let my pit bull out to go potty. It was quiet, so I figured she had a minute. She gets halfway down the stairs on the back deck, and then a neighbor fires off a huge one. BOOM.

    Rock Auto horrible customer service

    I've only ever had one problem with a Rock Auto order, and my fridge is covered in their magnets. It was the shipper that lost the package, and RA refunded me after about two weeks. No big deal.

    Rototiller buying advice

    $500 beater, Oil suggestions?

    That LN2 engine is a good beater engine. By good, I mean better than the Ecotec that replaced it. Just keep oil in it, and it probably won't care what kind it is.
