Someone needs to write an AI that kills the spam that AI's create. No, then they'd get in a war and eat up the entire internet band width and we'd be back to the pre internet days of dial up. Some might remember when you could use a phone line to have your computere call another computer at...

Home testers are set up to test for three wire 110-120 volt systems. They are needed to check GFCI's. But AC does not require a ground to function. Heck for decades homes were built with only two wire systems. Three wire is "safer" but not having it doesn't effect functionality.

Potholes are rampant out here, even in higher end neighborhoods. Heck, Arnold Schwarzenegger got on the news when he repaired one in his neighborhood. Of course, it was scheduled to be repaired the next day. Yea, right. And the utility said he didn't do it right. But at least he did...

Off the top of my head there are about 600 pages in the pdf.

On any of these jacks, including (maybe especially) the OEM, make sure you have either enough lifting height or some means of extending the lift if your vehicle is lifted I'd need more than my fingers and toes to count the number of times I've come across folks with lifted vehicles and no way...

Call regional office and make noise. The old squeeky wheel thing works.

The Powerbuilts are nice. I bought one to try out and it works as advertised. Two issues. First the thing weighs over twenty pounds, it might weigh even more than my Hi Lift. Second it is very bulky. They are great for the garage though.

Perhaps for you and some others it would be "poor practice". But for others, like myself, who have been doing it for over fifty years without a single brake problem, it's a perfectly "good practice". Sadly, from what I've seen and heard, most of today's drivers are terrible drivers. They...

"22 with 36k miles, take it to the dealer under warranty. You paid for it, use it.

Oh how I miss the days when absolutely no one worried about the torque spec for lugnuts because no one torqued them. And amazingly wheels didn't fall off anymore than they do today.

Perhaps it is a regional or generational thing this driving with two feet. But that's the way I drive around town or in heavy traffic. On the open highway I still left foot brake but I don't cover the brake as I would in heavier traffic. Of interesting note, on the radar enabled cruise...

Well after a bit of measuring, thinking and researching I figured a 5 ton sissor jack would just fit into the underseat compartment on the driver's side. The jack arrived today and lo and behold it fit like a glove. The few items I had in that compartment easily fit into the area vacated by the...

Came across an interesting jack stand while researching jacks. It is collapsible unit that folds very flat for storage. Expensive but very well made and it has a high rating. US made, but currently out of stock. If they become available I'll buy a couple and pass on my evaluation.

So I decided to rotate tires today. No big deal, grab the floor jack, stands and impact and get after it. Then I thought, why not see what's involved in changing a tire using the OEM tools. So first, I place the jack in the indicated position, and begin to use the handle connected to the...

Of course it's illegal in my state to drive while on the phone. But When was the last time you heard of the law being enforced. Heck, the worst offenders are law enforcement.

I could listen to this lady all day. She comes in right behind Patsy and Lorretta.

Replacement solid windows are available. Pretty easy to install and you could likely sell you slider to offset some of the cost.

Deadliest rear window in history.

Yep, and just who do you think supplies those stickers? You got it, the refiner that want's you to buy their very special blend that is exactly like everyone else's very special blend. Refiners have been doing this sort of stuff for as long as gasoline has been made. Texaco in their early...
