    Anyone ever change oil in rental car?

    Anyone ever change oil in rental car? No. I'm on vacation, so I'm not doing their job for them while on vacation.

    How to drive CVT

    Does anyone remember when driving a car was simple? Don't overthink it. It's a Toyota CVT, I wouldn't worry too much. Maintain it, and you'll be fine. Just put it in D and drive, the car will figure it out, as will you. Enjoy that Prius for many years to come! Cheers! 🍻

    Bad engine mount?

    That mount is fluid-filled. It looks like there's some staining around the top. What about underneath? Does it look as if something has been leaking? Is it all stained and dark? Basically like black, dirty water? These fluid-filled mounts are known to fail, causing a vibration over time. Maybe...

    no engine oil dipstick by design

    Sorry, but I want to think with my dipstick, Jimmy. There's one for you, Castrol fans. ;) 🍻 I may have to conform eventually, but I will always prefer a dipstick to check levels.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Those are fantastic albums! I remember watching a behind the music a long time ago and Tommy Shaw was talking about the “Mr Roboto”/“Kilroy Was Here” period. “Mr Roboto” was the nail in the coffin when it came to the divisions in STYX. (Tommy Shaw’s ideas and Dennis DeYoung’s ideas) They were...

    Non-English bands that perform in English

    Others have already mentioned them, but Scorpions came to mind right away. Klaus Meine has a unique voice that you recognize right away.

    Are German cars safer than Japanese or American cars?

    There are a lot of variables that come into play in the survivability of an accident. I've seen a destroyed Mazda CX5 that had no casualties resulting from the accident. I wish that I had taken a picture of it, you wouldn't believe it. Modern cars, for all of their faults, are far safer than any...

    A new type of security blanket for young people?

    Well, Harlem's a little too far for me, I'll go down to the Walmart parking lot and lazily meander down the middle of the lane, being oblivious to the cars around me. That should work, that's what everyone around here does. :unsure:

    😳 I think I’ll just take my chances with the hoodie! 😂

    A new type of security blanket for young people?

    All this talk of getting attacked and beat up while wearing a hoodie’s got me freaked out. I guess I’m just gonna strip down and get lathered up with baby oil when I go out. Let’s see an attacker take control of that! 🤔

    2026 Mazda CX-5 Revealed

    I'm not a fan of the giant touchscreen, but I like the subtle design change. I also like that they've stuck with a reliable engine/transmission combo. (As reliable as any manufacturer can get these days)

    What are you watching on tv right now?

    I decided to watch a bad movie so that I could marvel at how bad it is. I decided to watch The Black Hole. It's as bad as I remember. :rolleyes:

    Identify this spider

    I think they’re actually known as “False Black Widows”.

    What are you doing right now?

    I'm assuming the new caliper came with a new bracket as well? When I would replace brake components at the car lot, we used Advanced Auto Parts. Although it was new, I always took everything apart, cleaned it, and applied Sil-Glyde to the pins before reassembling. Sil-Glyde on pins is the only...

    CEOs: AI Will Wipe Out Some Jobs

    AI,....this is why I always say thank you to Alexa and Siri. When the machines become self-aware, they'll say, "Hey, that guy was always nice to us, we'll spare him." :ROFLMAO: My Father-in-law, on the other hand, is doomed! He always sounds grouchy when he tells her to turn something on...

    What are you listening to right now?

    Huey Lewis has an interesting history. He hitched across the USA and Europe as a young man and eventually went on to form Huey Lewis and the News. It's a shame that Meniere's disease ruined his singing career. Here's a great song by them.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Fantastic song! The Guitar from the 3:20 mark out is typical Neal Schon. Neal Schon is a master. There's a reason Carlos Santana had him playing in his band as a teenager. Journey's origins came from Santana. Greg Rollie brought Neal into Santana, and they eventually left to form Journey.

    Just for you, Zee09!

    What are you listening to right now?

    That is a great song. You can tell it's a late 1970s/very early 1980s song by its distinctive sound. I love it! (y) 🍻
