    Educate me on the federal tax credit for buying a USED EV.

    The used EV tax credit is only available when you buy from a dealer.

    Why do people use the rear brake?

    I do not ride anymore, but when I did I used both brakes all of the time. If you need to brake hard in an emergency and you are used to using only one brake what do you think you will use in that emergency?

    1972 Honda Civic

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the CVCC engine came out in 1975. I test drove, but did not buy one because of the tiny size and lack of stability of the car. However, I was impressed that Honda could meet emission standards without a catalytic converter.

    Tax prep woes ...

    A Sub-S corp must pay reasonable compensation to its shareholders. Otherwise, IRS can asses extra payroll taxes. It has been this way for about 40 years now by an act of Congress. Now the question is, what is reasonable compensation? Cases have determined it is NOT $12,000 a year for a...

    Tax prep woes ...

    If you do not owe anything, or have a refund coming, you will not be penalized no matter how late you file*. However, what if you miscalculate and wind up owing? Therefore, I file extensions for clients even when I am sure a refund is coming. If you go three years past the tax return due date...

    Tax prep woes ...

    I am a certified public accountant specializing in income taxation, so I think I know a little about this. To file an extension, you must reasonably estimate how much tax you will owe. You should send that much in, but you are not required to do so. No one should have failed to file an...

    Switching to 5w30

    Go to the MSDS for that particular oil. Look for the pour point and the flash point.

    A Review of Engine Oil Additives

    Well, if it worked for me in the early 70s why would it not be good now.

    Where Is The EV Sweet Spot?

    I bought my Mach E early on so the price was not too bad, and I got the $ 7,500 tax credit. As Ford decided they had the winner of the century, they kept raising the price. Now, reality has hit Ford and they keep dropping the price. In the meantime, mine works fine and charges in the garage...

    Lot owner being sued for someone building a home in the lot owner's parcel

    All courts are good ole boys clubs. The sooner you understand that the better. Still, the developer's case should be laughed out of court and sanctions applied for a frivolous filing. Also, title insurance is of no use in this circumstance. Title insurance covers any flaws in the title at...

    Dangers at Fort Ord National Monument

    Not in basic. On grenade training day, after the first instructions, three other guys and I were sent to guard the rifles. Since that meant I missed the specific instructions for live grenades, I was not allowed to throw my two live grenades. I still qualified expert in grenades because all...

    Dangers at Fort Ord National Monument

    Ugly Art Sculptures

    That was pretty much my first thought, what a horrible thing to do to the beautiful desert. That San Jose sculpture looks like what it was intended to look like.

    These new self storage places

    Short term storage of household goods while moving is the only sensible use of a storage unit. Otherwise, if the garage and attic are full, it is time for a trip to the thrift store drop station. You even get a tax deduction for it, if you keep good records and get a receipt.

    Have you ever spoken a eulogy?

    In high school, I read the poem The Unknown Citizen by W. H. Auden. I was struck by how much it was about my father. So, at his funeral Mass in 2014 I asked the priest to be allowed to read my version of the poem, with apologies to W. H. Auden. I did not change much to make it fit my father.

    Always feeling tired, waking up tired.......

    First step, get him out in the sun, even when it is cloudy outside, also immediate Vitamin D supplements. You said he is deficient in Vitamin D. Most likely a boost in Vitamin D will solve most of his problems. If that does not work, then look for other causes.

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    Not unless they are a two pole breaker. Some Square D breakers may be designed to allow to wires, but it is NOT up to code. Everyone should have a current copy of Wiring Simplified if they are going to mess with electricity.

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    Definitely a code violation. Dumb, but not as dangerous as double tapping a breaker. You may have a problem with neutral wires being too short to connect to the buss. This indicates whoever wired it did not do a good job. It should not have passed inspection a long time ago. Correcting it...
