When my son is killing time looking for older, hard to find vehicles, he will change his FB Marketplace search location and radius to wherever. Also, I wouldn’t count out the Pacific Northwest for car searches… might be a good place to find Subarus.

I have access to In-N-Out as well as Whataburger and Culver’s in my area. While I like Whataburger’s all-time favorites (patty melt and “special” burgers), the regular burgers aren’t anything special to me. If I want a burger with traditional toppings, I’d be more inclined to get Culver’s or...

If you can get your hands on a nicely restored or good original 1960’s-1974 John Deere 110 or its replacement, the 200 series 210/212/214, etc., built through 1986, those are good tractors powered by Kohler engines. My 110 had a 38” deck. While I was getting carburetor work done on the 110, I...

Largest I ever owned: 500 ci fuel-injected V8 in my 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Largest I currently own: 460 ci V8 in my 1977 Ford F-250 Super Cab

Those prices seem too high. Around here (central Texas), I’ve seen decent work trucks in the 3,000-5,000 range. My son just turned 14 and would really like a truck, so I’ve been casually looking at FB Marketplace. The best deals seem to be on ‘94-01 Dodge Rams (unless you want a Cummins, then...

I have Hagerty for my 1963 Coupe DeVille. I went with them because they were one of only two companies that would cover it being in a carport and not a fully-enclosed garage. I’m in the process of converting my older (wooden) carport into a garage at the moment. The other company would allow it...

Yes! I’m pretty sure those were Hanson drill bits. Thank you!

I’m done with Temu. I knew their stuff wouldn’t be good, but I was expecting Harbor Freight level “good enough for the price,” not these abominations. It’s hard for me to bust out of the struggle mindset. When I got out of college in ‘04, my first job only paid $10/hour (with $460/month in...

This is the first time I’ve ever bent drill bits… and it happened to all but one or two out seven or so. I was drilling into 2x4s or 3/4” plywood, all dry.

Thank you! I had my wife order some and she said Amazon limited her to only 6 quarts. I wonder if I could order 6 more on my Amazon account. She usually does the Amazon orders since she has prime and an Amazon card. My intention was to buy 24 quarts, but oh well.

I got a low mileage 2020 Avalon Limited a few months ago (non-hybrid). I really like the car… real wood on the dash, non-turbo V6, no CVT, no start/stop. It has a wireless cell phone charger and HUD, which even my wife’s 2023 Lexus IS350 doesnt have. On my 4:45 a.m. commute, I get 34-37 mpg. My...

My 2013 Ram 1500 was bought new in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area by my dad. He had it washed regularly but never did fluid film or any kind of undercoating. It was driven in Winter. It stayed in Wisconsin until I inherited the truck in 2023. The only body rust I see is one small bubble near the...

Update: I didn’t end up winning that auction. I really liked the car, but this owner had it four years with ancient oil and an ancient filter and didn’t do anything about it. That definitely lowers what I’d be willing to pay. The radiator hoses also looked original, and I wouldn’t be surprised...

It has a video of running/driving. I may pass after all. I hear what sounds like an inconsistent light knock on the cold start. I know cell phone audio isn’t the best, but I probably shouldn’t take the gamble. Edit: I may have jumped to conclusions too early. It sounds more like a wobbly knock...

Okay, I found a bit more info in the scanned documents uploaded by the seller. There’s a February 1994 receipt for an oil change, so either that was just before the branding change or the mechanic was using some aged stock. That oil change was at 11,023 and current mileage is 12,403. I’d still...

I’m considering bidding on a 1978 vehicle that only has 12K miles and was in storage from about 1994-2021. I can see the filter is before the AC Delco branding, so I’m thinking it’s from before the car was put in long-term storage. The car is about four hours from me, and I’d like to drive it...

2013 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7, 110,254 mi, 5k OCI Out: 6 qts. Mobil Full Synthetic 5w-30, 1.25 qts. HPL EC30, PartsPlus PH820 oil filter In: 7.25 qts. VRP 5w-30, PartsPlus PH820 oil filter Oil looked a slight bit reddish, and honestly not as dirty as I thought it would be with the HPL doing its...

I just dealt with a similar issue when repainting (and scraping the popcorn texture from) the ceiling in my son’s bedroom. There was some brownish staining from a leaking pipe. Chances are your ceiling is painted with latex, so you’d have to use Kilz 2 (latex). I did that first, and the stain...

In the Austin, Texas area, most Mexican market cars I see are the same ones here (some with different badging/trim), with the Notable exceptions being the Seat Ibiza, Peugeots, and a modern Chevy that could have been the successor to the El Camino. The 1992 Nissan Sentra (Tsuru in Mexico)...
