    Do you drink filtered water

    Yep, I have a two-stage system for drinking. Got tired of the bottles years ago. 😐

    What are you doing right now?

    Same morning routine as usual. I’m camped out on the sofa in my robe, sipping on my 1st cup of coffee, reading the current gibberish here on the forum. 😏

    New tool thread

    Actually, after a couple of days, it finally came up to Green and remains there quite easily. 🤷‍♂️

    New tool thread

    I’m too old to use most tools these days’ so I was reluctant to order this ½-inch Impact Wrench and sockets. (Milwaukee 2967-21b). However, after a recent flat I was reminded of my diminishing strength to break loose lug-nuts. It hurts to admit that, but if you don’t get whacked by some weird...

    Man from U.N.C.L.E. passes.

    Dang, another frightful reminder that I aged right alongside with him. 🥺

    What's your preferred tire pressure?

    The door jam sticker says 36 but I’m currently running 42. Then again, I’m running slightly oversized tires, but I’m not seeing any uneven wear after ~15K.

    $35k rust belt truck - how much rust is acceptable?

    I’ve never heard of Fluid Film, but I did apply sound deadening material by Second Skin, which is essentially under coating. It’s water based so theoretically it can be removed, but I doubt I’ll ever need to.

    Tipping at Fast Food Places

    Suggesting’ how impressed I am with the service would definitely turn me off. 🫤 Fortunately, I wouldn’t have to worry about it too much because these days I wouldn’t spend $10 for a slice of pie.

    Tipping at Fast Food Places

    I resent the intimidation tactic by forcing me to choose. For me, a tip is something you give because you were impressed by the service. When someone at a drive up window gives me a paper bag of food, it’s hard to be impressed by that alone. It’s simply doesn’t qualify for a tip. The best way...

    EVs are running out of customers

    I wouldn’t trust an electrical vehicle in my garage for fear that it might spontaneously catch fire and take down my home. Also, most of my driving is long distance, and I’m not comfortable with trusting the range on an electric.🫤

    Wow , talk about a brain fart ...

    Been there, done that. In my case, I caught my mistake a tad sooner. I did opened the car door and got inside and sat down. Then I realized, those are not my sunglasses on the passenger seat! 😵‍💫

    Possibly Defunct HOA Options

    I would not trust any person that hates dogs. 🧐

    This how we rolled!!

    That blue one looks very similar to the one I had including the seat color combo. It feels weird to think back of those days and how familiar they are in my mind. 😏

    US car in Europe

    I did two tours in Europe and that’s very true. Heck, after I retired, I still spend time in Italy at my GF home in Verona, and its the same deal there. I guess they figure you’re taking away someone’s job if you repair your own vehicle.

    2016 Mini Countryman S All4 - 5W-40 Hot Climate?

    I didn’t know what it was either until I joined this forum. I forfeited my free GM oil changes, and switched over to Redline 5W20, and then after 55k, I switched over to Maxima RS530, and then settled on HPL. When I conversed with the HPL Rep, he recommended the 5W40 based on my particular use...
