Like him or hate him, the man was a driving force in the oil and energy business. He died today. Link to CNN Story

Perhaps not my favorite actor, but still a very good one, and an iconic one... and one who has left an indelible mark on cinema as Roy Batty in Blade Runner. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near...

I was sad to hear about this. He was a very versatile actor and always a joy to watch. R.I.P., good sir. https://www.thewrap.com/rip-torn-actor-known-for-men-in-black-and-the-larry-sanders-show-dies-at-88/

Good afternoon everyone! I've started getting a misfire on Cyl-2 on my Fusion. This started abruptly approximately 8-9 days ago. Here are the details: I use Torque Pro with a bluetooth OBD-II adapter to get engine data. - The car is still driveable. I still am able to drive it the 110 miles...

Just watched this on YouTube, and considering how many posts and questions there have been on here about Amazon Basics over the past couple of months, I thought I'd share. Not fully comprehensive, but does definitely give a good idea of how it handles extreme temperatures.

Found this funny

Noticed this today on my drive in. Temps this morning were substantially colder than normal (at least for here in Phoenix), and I haven't driven the car to work since last Friday when it was warmer.. Normally, my drive in to work, the temp gauge (in Torque Pro) is around 199F cruising, and up...

Well, we see them around the house and in the yard from time to time, and I knew that they were unpleasant, but I've never had any personal issue with one... until today. I was out front, checking out an odd truck making a lot of noise, and when I turned to come back in, as I was walking up to...

*** Not making any political statements, and not stating who or what I voted for. Only saying I voted *** ... Now, I'm sure most of us here agree that we should ALL vote. If you voted, comment, and say you voted. Let's try to keep this strictly NON political. (If you have not yet voted...

I know quite a few people on here drive vehicles that use the 6F35 trans, my car included. I was poking around the internet, and I found this video of an apparently experienced transmission mechanic tearing down a 6F35 transmission. The video says it's out of a 2013 Escape, but it's basically...

According to Mazda, their rotary engine will be returning to production as a range extender in at least one future hybrid model. Popular Mechanics Article Makes some sense. It's a quiet engine, and within certain RPM and load ranges, is actually quite efficient and reliable.

... well, THERE's your problem.

I'm a careful driver, and always try to leave room, brake early, and stay aware of my surroundings, but unfortunately, you can't control other drivers. Case in point, I was driving home from work today, on the 101 highway here in Phoenix, in the center lane. Traffic was off-and-on stop and go...

So... This is #2 of 2 UOAs that I got back from Blackstone today for my 2010 Fusion. This one is from my most recent OCI, done 10 days ago. I should note, I almost completely forgot to collect oil for the UOA, so I caught the drain from the pan when it was almost done.. just the tail end, very...

Well, I sat on this sample for an entire OCI.. kind of forgot about it, and then sent it in alongside my most recent OCI. So... This is 1 of 2 UOAs that I got back from Blackstone today for my 2010 Fusion. Mileage on car at the time of this OCI was 252,271 miles. Original engine. This oil was...

First off - I have used multiple Eagle One products, including their nano wax, their spray wax(es), their Wax-as-U-dry products, etc.. They make some seriously good stuff, IMHO. I've used this before, but it's been a while.. I've been using their squeeze-spray bottled spray waxes, etc.. but...

For anyone interested in picking up Meguiars products, Amazon Prime Day has quite a few of them on sale. For example, if you're thinking of getting the gallon jug of Meguiars D156 Synthetic Spray Wax, Prime members get an extra 20% off the $32.99 price, making it only $26.39 today . Link to...

I just saw over on the PQIA website, that they posted an article discussing the different colors of coolants, varying chemistry between them, etc.. based mainly on the high level of confusion that most callers exhibit regarding them. Relatively basic, it does at least touch on some important...

My regular Pho place, here in Scottsdale, is always a good place to spot a really cool car, and since I go there at least once a week, I get to see my fair share. The last pic I posted from there was a Mclaren 720s. This time, I got a couple pics of TWO super cool cars, parked right next to...
