I remember the plastic looking window, IIRC probably last saw them in the 2000's. I guess now they don't want you maintaining them at all or removing the looking glass is for cost savings. My Scion's original Japanese Panasonic battery lasted for 11 years IIRC, topped up with water once...

Do you want to be the 1st in line to buy those fancy ice-cubes they have for sale?

Very nice, but can't justify me switching to a new battery eco-system. I'm a Ryobi guy, and am not proud of it.

Maybe someone should start a social media account on how crappy one's life is. Even if it is fake. Others that follow it can think, "Wow, I don't have it as bad as that guy!" and feel better about themselves.

21 Pilot: Valvoline Restore and protect 1st photo, posted earlier is at 60k miles 2nd photo 71k - maybe it's the lighting but it looks noticeably darker. Oil Life Indicator is 40% so about 6k miles on the latest photo vs 5k on the 1st one.

Had this happen to a service advisor who took a vehicle for a post-repair test drive at a body shop I worked at. He came back flustered that it happened to him. Worn or Loose Suspension Components Track Bar: Loose track bar bolts, worn bushings, or ovaled mounting holes allow the axle to...

I'm wouldn't be surprised if some of the harder to find items I have purchased on eBay, have been from flippers, and I am thankful for that. To me it's just a lot of work and to find the arbitrage. You have to research the sales potential in the store and then 50x that per store if there's a...

Yes, a lot of eBay flippers in these stores. I saw one guy with some kind of scanner, reading barcodes in the book section, likely to see how much they are selling for to post on eBay. Look slike a lot of money upfront and risk to hoard all this stuff hoping it sells one day. The time spent...

Unless someone stole it, I presume it might have broken out of it's package or the label was damaged. Maybe the package got sucked into a conveyor belt wheel or run over by forklift. https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-the-USPS-Mail-Recovery-Center There is a website where the USPS sells...

This might get you into areas that can't wrap the rodent tape around. Likely have to reapply it when it rains. https://mightymintproducts.com/rodent-vehicle-natural-peppermint-spray-gallon-size

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I was rode in a taxi in Europe years ago and the trunk had a giant propane tank in it. Doesn't make sense to occupy 50% of the trunk IN A TAXI lol. You could also smell the propane when driving at some points, either incomplete combustion or...

Yes, the charges were reversed. I believe this was a man-in-the-middle attack where the CC data was scraped at the merchants portal. Maybe some kind of overlay or glitch to catch the number input. If you experience strange behavior on a website portal, be careful. Fortunately it was a CC I...

Much of donations are ultimately a scam as well: "AirTags and Find My have revealed how items donated by Mexicans for earthquake relief in Turkey were instead resold in Mexico City markets." https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/09/airtags-used-to-uncover-fraud-in-turkey-relief-donations...

Well guess what. This guy stalked me and found my work email and is messaging me and management now. Creepy. He wants to be my friend and catch up. I think he's mentally ill. He did have some kind of brain surgery which I think impacted his reasoning, kind of sad. I hope he gets better. 2...

Mandatory collision prevention will eventually stop this, but it will be a long time before older cars w/out this tech are off the road. "On May 9, 2024, the NHTSA finalized a rule (FMVSS No. 127) requiring Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and forward collision warnings as standard equipment...

They are the real deal. Only charity I have personally vetted to be legit, likely more as well. I have a friend who donated to one unscrupulous charity. Not long after they received a barrage of donation letters and continue to do so. Name and address info is likely monetized and sold in a...

All websites likely are. IMHO, oil based info likely comes from technical manuals and text books etc. Not that the answers here are not authoritative, it's that the AI systems are likely designed to get information from scientific sources. There is likely a liability of some sort if...

This is the only way. Having worked in claims, all calls are recorded and anything you say will be used against you. The ins co systems likely also used pulled photos of your Mazda from license plate readers to see if there was any prior damage overtime that can be used to dispute the severity...

I had a claim on CNG civic years ago, was interesting to see. IIRC the damage was a bumper job so no CNG related work. I am not aware of any other CNG vehicles and would old see CNG only parts for Civics in parts databases. Discontinuation of the Honda CNG Civic End Date: Production...

I want nothing to do with them and will not donate a penny. Their annoying bell ringing was tolerable until their woke anti-racism guide bashing white ppl. From the guide: "White culture has challenges it needs to overcome, including denial of racism and defensiveness about race." "White...
