Metrovac makes the best vacuums...made in the USA Nothing else compares.

I pumped gas at a local Mobil station in the late 60's. It was SOP to clean the windshield, check fluid levels, and give out free gifts. Drinking glasses, silverware, or S&H Green Stamps.

Sonax Spray and Seal works great, and super easy to apply.

Fords rusted faster than any other make, especially in areas that use road salt in the winter. Driven daily, they were rusted out in 5-7 years.

Atomic Silver with a black leather interior. Great color combo.

Bought a new 2018 Lexus RX 350. Traded in a 2003 Lexus RX300 that I got $4k for. Got over 15% off MSRP. Great car.

4 weeks ago......2018 Lexus RX 350 This is the second Lexus, and the first one was flawless. Great cars!

I Mass., most of the police have plate readers. Pass one with an expired registration and you will get stopped in about a minute. Here, an expired registration = vehicle towed....and lots os $$$

I have Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90 if the front diff, the rear diff, and the transfer case in my 2013 Tundra. 48k miles and zero issues.

It depends where you live. If you live where they salt the roads, most cars don't last 10 years before rotting out. Everytime I go to the southwest, I am amazed at the older cars still on the road. Rust is the culprit!

I have had great luck with Optima Red Tops. The last 2 batteries have lasted 10 years, and the current one is 5 years old,

Other areas to look at: rusty brake lines, rotted exhaust manifolds, rotten A/C lines

Get a Jeep bottle jack with the long handle at the junkyard. They have a "U" shaped saddle that I use to push the shock up to bolt it. If you think KYBs are hard to compress, try Bilsteins......

I just did a trans flush on my 2013 Tundra. It took 12 quarts of Toyota WS fluid.
