This story sounds really suspect. I do not open the door for anyone that I don't know or expect. I had the police knock on my door a couple years back and wouldn't open it. Something weird about they traced a cell phone 911 hangup to my residence. The last thing you want, well second to...

Can't say it's the best way, but on my house interior they used this metal hanger strips and concrete screws. Don't know if it's suitable for exterior use.

Really? I love the automatic parking brake. Can't think of a reason to defeat it unless the rare times that I'm doing work on the car.

I always hand tighten and then give it a half turn or a little more with a wrench. I tend to over-tighten a little. Oil filters and the filters housings are pretty rugged in my experience. Some of those quickie oil filter places will really tighten the filters. I wouldn't worry about it. I...

I listen to a lot of old time radio and there was an episode on this topic. Not that they had GPS back then but the episode was about a pilot who got lost and air traffic control was trying to get him orientated based on ground signals. It had to do with listening to beeps on the radio. Da-Di...

Waze and Google Maps GPS speed match the digital speedometer in my Camry.

I forget the whole story, but i think they tried a dealer but they didn't have the code in the owners manual that the dealer needed. And it was a reason to buy something new so she didn't try too hard.

There is a certain irony to this story. While Boomers can balance a checkbook to figure out how much money is in their checking account, the younger generations can go online and access their bank app and see how much money the bank has in their account and see a listing of all the checks and...

Those retirement guidelines always seem to over-estimate how much money you'll need in retirement.

I worked with a woman whose husband changed the battery in her Acura and they could never get the radio to work again. So, she sold the car. I have one of memory saver things in my car battery tools box.

That's the way to convert an old two prong receptacle to handle a 3 prong plug.

I installed a gfci in my son's house and didn't screw in an unused side screw and it shorted in a tight metal box. Screwed in tight and taped up the sides and reset the breaker and all is good. Maybe some electricians/diyers tape up the sides as a matter of habit and don't mind the material...

Don't think they make any FWD any longer. I looked at a couple dealerships and didn't see any FWD. All AWD.

Yes. I had to do this a few years ago. Tried to file myself and didn't understand a stock sale rules. I estimated and sent a big check and then went to a tax guy to figure it out. He was very impressed how close I came to what I owed.
