A false accuser should be punished with the sentence that the actual crime carries. Make a bomb threat, go to jail for as long as an actual bomber. Make a false rape claim, go to jail as long as a rapist.

two sets of mounted tires/rims - road force balanced by tirerack. Both sets have been superb - far better than the factory balance. Came faster than quoted. Can't recommend them highly enough for that setup. On a tire-only purchase - I'd have to give it some thought - the hassle factor could be...

Now that is funny! Here's the part I don't understand though - there are 73,000 E. Coli cases in the US a year - roughly 200 a day. Why is this even a story? Food nazis targetting another fast food to shut down???

sure do - just changed mine at 60K on an '04 Ody. The noise was distinct enough, but not super loud (with windows up and radio on, one might miss it for a little while, but not long enough to matter.)

not to be pedantic or anything, but it would be current miles / (1 - .21)

where do you get these statistics of higher fatality with ABS? They appear made up out of whole cloth. Here is what I believe to be much more reliable info: http://www.iihs.org/research/qanda/antilock.html There is essentially no difference (not worse) with ABS.

caterham - makes sense. Looks like the MOB has boilerplate numbers in for the Mobil 1 CCS specs. Thanks for the info.

From the motor oil bible: ccs: 6200 @ -35C

Given the text comments in the original report of no fuel, and knowing how blackstone sends back the report, I can virtually guarantee there was just a typo and it was really "fuel < 0.5". But, that is just my guess...

amazing how R12 starts to be a problem right around the time that DuPont's patent is up on it. Truly amazing...

Ca higher too - perhaps contributing to a higher TBN at start. The higher zinc is probably what is keeping it from GF-4 specs. Edit: Sorry MolaKule - I see you already covered the Ca in prior post.

It was just the two changes so far - ~6500 mi (4.5 months) on factory fill, ~8100 (4.5 months) with the Castrol syntec. Book is 3750mi for severe, and 7500 for normal. Mostly longer trips, but not on interstates (30+ mi at a time) - with a few short hops thrown in. To give you some idea, my avg...
