    I can't work on my cars anymore.

    I can sympathize with OP. I am "only" 45 but diagnosed with MS a few years ago and it is wrecking me in a big way. I can do oil changes and stuff that isn't real physical still but I do get my wife to help on winter/summer tire swaps and stuff like that. The stuff I can do takes three times as...

    high price on 1993 Cobra R

    I was born in 1981. My first car was an LX hatchback fox body 5.0, 1992, which was probably the best year. If I could have any factory stock like new car today, it would be that, although probably a notchback. Integra Type-R would be the other.

    high price on 1993 Cobra R

    Probably. You are definitely not going to lose money on it, the question is whether or not it will beat traditional investments.

    2022 Subaru CrossTrek Spark Plug Change - OMG

    Did my wife’s Forester last weekend. Driver’s side sucked because the ECU and all the harnesses in the way. Got it done but it wasn’t fun. Passenger side is a lot easier.

    Reusing Oil Filter during Oil Change, but Dumping Old Oil Out?

    After doing an oil change on my X3M Comp yesterday, I can't say I disagree with the OP on this. Filter access is terrible and literally triples, or more, the time it takes to do the oil change. Considering leaving it in for two changes which would be ~two years/13-14k miles.

    Battery Longevity

    I put an Interstate MTP into my MkVI GTI back in April of 2014. I sold that car to my coworker in the spring of 2018, he still has it. He needed to replace the battery a couple weeks ago and that Interstate was still in it. I couldn't believe it.

    I believe they perform better but not necessarily last longer

    Canada: Are EFB batteries not readily available locally? Is AGM equivalent?

    Does anyone know of an application that an AGM comes in the engine bay from the factory? Seems most all of them are inside the car. I believe EFB/flooded handles underhood temps much better and could be another reason the manufacturers uses them instead of AGM.

    Canada: Are EFB batteries not readily available locally? Is AGM equivalent?

    I notice both Canadian Tire and Napa both show AGM for this appplication (same battery, East Penn). They both put a five year free replacement on it as well. I then found this from East Penn themselves...

    Canada: Are EFB batteries not readily available locally? Is AGM equivalent?

    I just called Interstate here locally in Vancouver. They have three EFB sizes listed on their website, but don't stock any. They can be ordered and brought in in 3-4 days though. They do not have a group 35 but I know the 24F also works with a battery tray swap...

    Canada: Are EFB batteries not readily available locally? Is AGM equivalent?

    At least in the Subaru it says "for start/stop" on it.
