    Terrible local tornado in Indiana ☹️

    Winchester, Indiana tonight is one of the towns where we have a plant. Tornado formed about 2 miles outside town (about 500 yards from my buddy’s house), touched down and proceeded to destroy a majority of the south side of town. A trailer park, the hospital and nursing home, lots of homes, a...

    So @High Performance Lubricants now has a CVT fluid (maybe David can give some insight on which CVT fluids this is a replacement for) plus the PDS has been updated. Enjoy! Updated Product Page

    Weight loss update - I won!

    So I joined a gym this year, not as a NYR but just trying to get in better shape. And then of course I’ve been on the road 7 weeks straight for work. 🙄 Anyways, there was a fat-loss challenge from January 2nd to March 2, 8 weeks. I had just finished Steven Gundry’s Unlocking the Keto Code which...

    What an awesome day! Met Cole Macedo and his team!

    So I’m in the Central Valley for work, and I also happened to be introducing one of our equipment vendors to @High Performance Lubricants (which resulted in a new customer from a cold call!) and Dave asked if I like World of Outlaws cars. Well, yeah, of course I love anything that weighs 1425lbs...

    New-to-me vehicle, and another post about Carvana and how great HPL service is…

    So, I’ve finally talked my wife out of her minivan phase (for the grandkids) and am saying goodbye to our 2nd consecutive Ford Transit Connect (2020 XLT) and even managed to pick up an extra seat in the process. Waiting on delivery and sayonara as I type. Fourth transaction with Carvana; still...

    2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe long term rental

    So I rent about 90-120 days a year for work in any given year, and typically I either get German sedans (Audi, BMW) or large American SUVs (Expedition, Suburban, Grand Wagoneer, Explorer) depending on how far I’m traveling and what gear I have to take with me. Well, last week I got to the lot a...

    Mega 75w90 testing thread!

    @ford250 @SNWMBL @Impatient and maybe more (sorry, it’s been awhile!) contributed samples for this test. We’ve imported the other 75w90 tests from my other thread here, and also add these 75w90s: Shell Spirax Subaru HP Ultra Plus (cool clear bottle!) AC Delco Valvoline Synpower Ravenol VSG...

    Interesting electrification analysis article

    This was originally found on Americanthinker.com, by William Levin, titled, “The Electric Car Con Explained”. I would link to it, but had to remove the hyperlinks, a few lines and one paragraph that would run afoul of board rules. You can always use the data above to find the full article...

    For all you who drain the oil for hours…

    You’re doing it wrong.

    Another offshore wind project bites the dust

    This one from NY and Equinor. Cost increases seem to have been the nail in the coffin. Underlying question is: all of these projects, at the approval stage, most certainly involved planned sunsetting other power plants; think of the risk and cost involved to now reverse those closing plans and...

    Spain to dismantle over 30% of wind turbines in next 5 years

    Similar in topic to @Overkill’s previous thread on repowering, but it appears they recognized the futility and had enough. https://tvpworld.com/74560645/7500-wind-turbines-in-spain-to-be-dismantled-within-five-years

    Shakeup at Polaris Labs?

    So I heard today that Polaris had a shakeup/buyout recently; I had been looking at sending some samples to them. Has anyone that’s used them recently noticed any changes in their service or responsiveness?

    Wow! Orsted walks away from BOTH NJ wind farm projects!

    Can’t post the article here, because the references make big deals about the responsible political parties. Was supposed to be a 2,200 MW facility! But, after a couple years of development, loads of concessions from the state, and millions of dollars earmarked for the project, Orsted is breaking...

    Tesla wins two suits against FSD

    Good news for Elon… two separate juries have cleared Tesla recently for claims against them. Both decided as the driver was at fault. https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2023/10/31/tesla-wins-in-trial-over-autopilot-crash-n589163

    True "all-in" EV costs equivalent to $17+/gal

    New study from Texas, that accounts for ALL costs in operating EVs, including "the real costs born by taxpayers for subsidies, utility ratepayers for energy investments, and non-electric vehicle owners for mandate-and-environmental-credit-driven higher vehicle costs." In other words, all the...

    Questions for the “only oils with approvals!” crowd- API vs good oil engineering

    Can’t believe we’ve kinda glossed over these details… in the past week we saw a valve train pic of an 80k mile engine that’s had synthetic API approved oils according to OLM that is heavily varnished, and we’ve also seen a 170k engine that’s had only 2 oil changes over the past 53k and it is...
