My car has been perfectly fine in the five years to the month I installed a new EverStart Maxx battery... until just now. I had just started it without issue or any signs something was amiss, moved to the other end of the shopping center lot to hit another store, and when I came out a few...

Not sure if this is news to anyone else but it was to me. 1) Glock has released their Performance Trigger for the 9mm gen5 double-stack pistols. It looks to function similarly to the Timney Alpha trigger. Intended for competition, not carrying. Looks interesting. $99...

Not sure if this has been posted yet but a quick look didn't see it. Sorry if it's a repost. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/diesel-oil-in-gasoline-engine/

I've been feeling very nostalgic lately, especially regarding the V8-powered '78 Malibu two-door sedan I had right after high school. It was big and 'powerful' and fun, but in the new world of FWD econoboxes, it just seemed very 'old' so selling it at the time was not a big deal. I sold it to a...

I've talked to many a customer service rep on the phone over the years, some completely useless and some quite helpful, and I must say the people at Honda Financial Services have been the most competent, clear-speaking and clear-explaining, patient, friendly without being fake, knowledgeable and...

I already own a few 'staples' like a Glock 17 and an M&P, so I've wanted a P320 to fill out my collection a little, especially since it has a growing following and aftermarket support. I got it from Bud's for $599 (pretty much the going rate) and picked it up from the FFL yesterday. I haven't...

I'm planning on using a vacuum hand pump to do a brake fluid exchange on my 2015 Accord. Like most modern cars it has ABS. Do I need to do anything special with the ABS pump to do this successfully? I'm more interested in keeping the system air-free rather then getting every last drop of old DOT...

As mentioned in another thread, the wife and I are trying to help one of our apartment neighbors while she's out of the country for an extended time dealing with family stuff. Her car (a 2010 Forester) failed its safety inspection three months ago due to a cracked windshield and she was never...

I have a set of Yokohama AVID Ascend GT's on my Accord. Two years old and 15k miles. I like them quite a bit and would buy another set in a heartbeat. Our town has a big recycling center nearby. I make weekly trips there to get rid of cardboard, paper, and plastic/metal food containers. Problem...

I changed the oil on my '15 Accord yesterday which was thankfully uneventful. But while underneath, I noticed some of the plastic panels under the front fascia were a little loose, then that some were **** near disconnected. Turns out I'm somehow missing almost 20 of those plastic push rivets...

Long version: We have a neighbor going through some trying times and she's currently out of the country dealing with family. We've keeping an eye on her apartment and her car for her. She's been away for a month and anticipates being away for at least another month if not longer. She has '10...

This caliber intrigues me. It seems to be a blast to shoot being all big booms and fireballs but with light recoil (not that that's really an issue). I bought a box of 22TCM9R ammo last year with the plan of buying a Glock conversion barrel/spring for it but never ended up doing so. I'm...

Here's a 1000-mile review: I needed something to replace the terrible 18" Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that were OEM on my Accord Sport. They were 'sporty' and handled well in the dry but they were too stiff and noisy for regular commuting and they were bad in the wet, and downright scary in...

They have given all gen 5 pistols front slide serrations which they advertise as newer and better and by demand. But they have also quietly removed the dumb front grip cutout that most people hated and make no mention of it on their web page. Interesting that... -BF, unhappy gen 5 owner

I've always been fascinated with the Chernobyl accident and the resulting (effectively) permanent damage done to the surrounding area and its inhabitants. This series has been fantastic so far, brilliantly acted with great sets and CG. It really shows what the Soviets were up against and the...

In the last week or two, my car would not turn over on the first or sometimes second attempts. I'd get dash lights, headlights, radio, etc. but the starter would never get the message. Then on a second or third attempt it would magically come to life and start immediately. Tuesday night it...

Just a random question: I've never had my hands or eyeballs on an old Hemi or 429 but I'm somewhat familiar with the physically large Coyote. How do the three of them compare in physical size? They all look enormous compared to a relatively svelte LS or Windsor.

Is there any real advantage to taking a tire with a nail or screw in it to a tire shop to do a 'professional' repair? Are the materials or processes they use any better than what I can get from a Walmart repair kit? To be clear, I'm just referring to a simple plug job in the center of the...

My '15 Accord Sport is almost four years old now and the small 51R battery was starting to show signs that it was struggling a bit. After doing some reading online I decided to do the popular conversion to the V6 model's larger 24F battery. I wanted it to look OEM so I bought the V6's battery...
