One of my favorite actors. Too many are going away too soon. https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/ray-liotta-of-goodfellas-and-field-of-dreams-dies-at-67/ar-AAXLt5i?li=BBnb7Kz

This guy is the Ken Jennings of the Darwin Award. Guy was on a plane pestering Mike Tyson. Tyson kept his cool and repeatedly told the guy to stop, but he continued, until..... https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/21/mike-tyson-repeatedly-punches-man-face-plane-bloodies-passenger/

So the great people at Pennzoil allowed me to participate in their UOA. The first was original oil fill (Quartz Ow20) in a 2021 KIA Niro with about 6k miles on the oil. The next change was with PUP Ow20 with a little over 6k miles on it. The original oil had alot of metals and contaminants which...

Vividly remember him. I've always liked the little guys and how tough they were. Another one was the Viking's Leo Lewis. About 5'8" and 170 lbs. but was quick and took hits from guys twice his size, yet kept going back for more...

Another one from the 70s. This time it's Howard Hesseman. He also had a spot on One Day at a Time. Rarely watched WKRP but remember it well when I was a kid. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/howard-hesseman-dr-johnny-fever-on-wkrp-in-cincinnati-dies-at-81/ar-AATiPwr?li=BBnb7Kz

I remember my brother watching this show on reruns on TBS back in the 1980s. Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island also starred on the show. Interestingly enough, he had a pretty solid career behind the camera starting in the early 1970s.

While looking over some things, this caught my eye. According to a certain $1 trillion plan by a certain individual, all new cars might be required to have a Kill Switch installed by 2026. This is to allegedly reduce high speed police chases and help monitor drunk or "impaired" drivers...

Mike Nesmith of The Monkees passed away. https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/michael-nesmith-of-the-monkees-dies-at-78/ar-AARH2mq?ocid=hplocalnews&li=BBnb7Kz

Anyone who was a kid in the 70s knows who this is. Eddie Mekka who played Carmine Raguso on Laverne & Shirley passed away.

It's just that. Anyone with a Matrix or Corolla, or have experience with them? I've been going round and round with Carquest, Duralast, and even RockAuto with their ACDELCO 3371171 {#19338656}. Looking for new. I've only replaced 2 starters in my life so my experience and knowledge on which...

So the great People of Walmart (and Pennzoil) come through again. I know it's not as large as some stashes, but take what you can get. Nine 5qrt. jugs of Mobil 1 5w20 for $10, including shipping, ain't all that bad. 1 5qrt. jug of Mobil was leaking so I put that in an empty PUP jug.

So we just purchased a 2021 Hybrid Kia Niro. My question is the difference between a hybrid engine that stops, and stop-start tech that I've seen on vehicles. I can hear them turn over, similar to a normal engine. Are hybrid engines the same? My concern is the (possible) constant use of the...

So my wife got a wild hair and we dumped our 2.5 year old, paid off, only 40k mile, perfectly running 19' Sorento in favor (her favor) of a 2021 Kia Niro. I removed the catch can from the Sorento and now want to install it on the Niro. Question is, has anyone had any ill-effects on running it on...

For gits and shiggles I poke around KBB every so often. This time I looked up my 19' KIA Sorento LX with 40k miles. About 1 year ago the KBB trade-in was about $14k and some change. Today I looked at couldn't believe what the trade in was. Average is $21,346 with the low-end being $20,263. What...

So I'm really not one to brag, but this day ended pretty well. The sun does, in fact, shine on a dog's a** every now and then. The wonderful people at Pennzoil, more specifically, Gena Fishbeck, sent me two 5 qrt. bottles of Ultra Platinum 5w20 along with UOA containers, a T-shirt, stickers, and...

So we're looking for a compact commuter car and considering a Yaris hatchback. I know they're a rebadged Mazda 2, but with Mazda's known reliability, it's not surprising. The Yaris has a 6-speed automatic trans. When I looked at the specs, I saw it takes Toyota WS fluid, which lends me to...

My family and I are planning on buying a good used hatchback, 2017 - 2019. Options we're looking at are Honda Fit, Kia Soul, and Kia Rio. We could afford a new one but why take the depreciation hit? We've found several with 5k - 10k miles on them. There are pros and cons to each. Honda has the...

I know we have some Mazda fans here, so this one is for you. Maybe you like CR, maybe you don't, but still a good read. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/18/mazda-bmw-subaru-top-consumer-reports-2021-brand-report-card.html
