    How to buy a car on Facebook Marketplace

    Good work by you, but showing up with an envelope of cash can go bad if the "seller" is a skell.

    Chevron Supreme Anyone

    I have some Chevron Supreme 5w-20 to use in my friend's 2013 Highlander. At $17.44 at Walmart these days, the price vs. sale priced synthetic makes little sense.

    Hyundai Tucson 1.6T Hybrid, engine damaged before first service is due

    Hyundai and Kia have built themselves quite a reputation for engine problems and dealer complaints. Three weeks to get an appointment at a Hyundai dealer?

    New Roofing Question

    My primary home is located in hurricane country. After 21 years in June I've contracted to have Landmark Pro shingles installed with "Fortified Roof" materials and techniques. I considered Owens Corning Duration shingles but found too many recent claims and complaints about that product in my...

    Classic Scout is coming back

    This new version will be so much different than the 1971 Scout my father had. I recall it was a huge gas guzzler, it was really hard on tires and it didn't like staying in tune.

    Traveling and can't always fill up with Top Tier Fuel

    Oddly in the past year, many of the Shell stations in my part of central Florida have been replaced by Circle K stations that don't offer top tier fuel here. The lone Sunoco station has been replaced by a 7-11, and Wawa is building another large facility a few miles from here. Marathon: won't...

    Traded in the Sonata for a Malibu. Dealership issue.

    Your dealership experience doesn't say much for Hyundai dealers. Shame on that technician implying that you're a liar.

    2021 Generac RG027 Generator - 24 Hour Break in Oil Change - 5W30

    @96stroke: I like your new setup, but we do have different motors. Mine is a GT990 made by Generac, not Mitsubishi. Maybe the concept applies to both motors. I do know that my open vent faces the Albemarle Sound only 90 feet away, and the wind often blows in with moisture along with it.

    Tell me about Range Rovers circa 2008

    As a former Range Rover owner, I have two words: money pit.

    Outdoor AC condenser - tilted

    Formula 1 starting already this weekend?

    Speaking of Formula 1, if any members here have never seen the movie "Grand Prix" from 1966, you should put it on your must see list. I saw it first in the movie theater when it was released, and it aired last week on Turner Classic Movies. You will get a charge out of how the sport looked...

    Credit Card Issue

    I wouldn't do anything until I know what the "new" charges are. It's possible you had some automatic monthly charges on the old card that somehow got rolled onto the new card. If that's not the case, it's a situation for the card's fraud department.

    Should I replace this dishwasher?

    My experience is that our family dishwashers have lasted an average of 10 years. I'd replace yours.

    Milestar or Sentury

    I had a set of MS932 tires on my M35, and I only got about 25K miles of life from them. But mine were V rated. I did like the way mine performed in ride, handling and noise level. I replaced them with GTRadial Champiro tires.

    Generac 5W20 Low Ash (GEO) oil for Generators

    I've had a Generac 16kw standby generator for 18 years, and I do my own service. I say that Generac promoting its "exclusive" low ash formula is baloney.

    Your Biggest Retirement Regret?

    Working for too many clueless managers in the last few years of a 29 year career. Since 2005, no regrets.

    Need a tire rec - 09 Honda CRV

    For a two year timeframe, I'd find something in a Kumho or even a Milestar brand to save a few shekels. I've been satisfied with both brands.
