Mazda Miatas tend to have this issue as well. I fully extended my seat belt and clamped it so it wouldn't retract. Then I washed it in a bucket of warm water and Woolite followed by several fresh water rinses. Based on the condition of the water after washing, the seat belt was pretty dirty...

I have both compressed air and cordless electric impact wrenches. I find myself reaching for the electric one more and more frequently. I like having both types, but if I was starting over again, I would purchase only the electric unit. By the way, that compressor that you have listed is way...

Loved it! The construction site in the background made it especially convincing at first.

I haven't done much with ripe (sweet) plantains, but we enjoy green plantains occasionally. I peel them, then cut them into one inch long cylinders and deep fry until golden. Then I place them between two heavy paper bags and press down with the palm of my hand, squishing each one individually...

I have a 2016 CX9 Sport AWD that I purchased new in 2017. We picked it up for $32,000 out the door. The sport is the base model, but all the mechanical bits are the same as the more expensive Touring, Grand Touring and Signature models. We upgraded it with roof rails and cross bars to mount our...

I'm sure that it depends on the car. I replaced the door speakers on my 2008 Mazda Miata with JBL GTO units while retaining the original head unit. While installing the speakers, I also lined the doors with a DynaMat type damping material. Overall, the sound is significantly better than stock...

Brine for a full day. Then on the grill rotisserie with plenty of hickory chips in the smoker box. Spin until golden brown and the thigh temp reads 175. Do not overcook!

I have two of the Honeywell RTH6500 WiFi thermostats and like them a lot. I am able to do seven day programming like a normal programmable thermostat and use WiFi to over ride that programming. The cell phone app is easy to use. Plus, when my second floor furnace wasn't operating properly when I...

Hopefully someone can offer some advice to help me out. Vehicle is a 2006 Toyota Sienna AWD. The Brake, ABS, VSC and Low Tire Pressure lights came on after I noted some ABS activation when pulling away from a stop. I researched this and came to the conclusion that I have an ABS problem. I...

Almost always jugs for me. That being said, I am loving the 6 quart, $20, bag in a box of Havoline synthetic at WalMart.com. Getting some 5W20 and 5W30 delivered to my door today.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will go outside and check it out. Right now it is pouring rain so it might be a little while. I will let you know what it was, or come back with more questions.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge of central air conditioning can help with my situation. The system has been working fine this cooling season, until now. When leaving the house this morning, I noticed a humming noise coming from the outside compressor of my first floor central air...

Ouch! So much hatred for NYC. I wouldn't do a bus tour unless there was some physical reason why I couldn't walk. Subways, buses and walking are the best ways to get around it NYC.I would suggest determining what you want to see, looking at a map, putting the NYC Subway app on your phone and...

I'd say you are in the right ballpark. Soak more chips than you think you will need. You can always dry the leftovers out and reuse another day. Also, be really careful not to overcook the tenderloins. There is almost no fat on that meat and overcooking them even just a little bit will lead to...

The first time I treated my headlights with the 3M kit, they came out great, but quickly clouded again. After the second treatment with the 3M kit, I applied a coat of U-POL Clear #1 UV Resistant Clear Coat spray and they have stayed nice and clear for several years so for. Just be sure to do a...

When I can remember, I shut off the AC on my vehicles a few miles before stopping, but I keep the fan running. This circulates air around the AC evaporator and helps to dry the unit, limiting the growth of mold and preventing the development of that musty AC smell. The hardest part is...

That sounds like my kind of trip. I travel a lot for work and always make a point to try the regional smoked meats from whatever area I am in. In fact, I have two racks of pork ribs on the smoker right now.

I had a similar sensation with my 2006 Toyota Sienna recently. While going slow (5-15 mph) it felt like the whole rear end of the van was moving back and forth laterally. The unused seat belts were actually clanging against the adjacent hard plastic due to this motion. I rotated the tires front...

I did the exact same thing on my 2006 Toyota Sienna a while back after changing ball joints. The half shaft must have been unseated while doing the work and then came out while driving up the street. I didn't realize the issue until my tranny lost so much fluid that it wouldn't propel the car...

Our GE front loader has an access panel on the lower front. Behind it is a strainer to catch debris that has gone through the machine. Open and clean it periodically (quarterly?). It tends to collect a lot of stuff. Have a small catch pan or absorbent towel ready to catch the liquids.
