    Chest vs. Upright freezer - which to choose?

    After decades of experience with chest freezers, I'm thinking of upgrading to an upright. One of the main benefits of a chest is the lower energy costs as well as purchase cost. I just hate having to unpack almost everything to access things near the bottom, takes so much time. Does anyone...

    Li Ion batteries, yay or nay?

    Recently I purchased a used motorcycle that the PO installed one of these batteries. I've never seen one of these nor have I maintained one.

    Late model VW folks - what are you using for a block heater?

    Chatted with a buddy today with a late model Golf R. He said VW does not list, nor do they offer a block heater. I initially didn't believe him, then went to build and price a VW online. Sure enough, there's no block heater listed as an option. Are they expecting users to simply run thin oil...
