Today I had a lot of windshield time, primarily on I5 driving south in California. Like many BITOGERs, I am always looking at vehicles. Nothing memorable caught me eye, until I saw a auto transporter with three Tesla trucks heading north on i5. Wow were the Tesla trucks eye catchers. GM...

I have been searching for a "new chapter" job, as I am retiring in AUG 2024. I have applied for over 250 positions, have had five zoom interviews, and a e-mail inquiring if I was still interested in the position, of which I quickly replied and that was the last I heard from the employer. I...

Moving time again. Our king size foam mattress is super heavy, and I am not getting younger trying to move it myself. On Amazon I came across a product that claims it reduces foam mattress bulk by 80 percent. Of course, it does not reduce the actual weight. The reviews were mixed. What I found...

Assuming the chart is accurate, I had no idea BMWs were that popular in California, Montana loves their RAM trucks, and guessing @dishdude and all his family and friends drive Caravans....

18 months ago I rebuilt a 2005 Lexus GX470 that was in a front end collision that deployed the driver's airbag. I have driven the GX470 for about a year with zero issues, except if coming to a abrupt stop, a substantial thud goes through the vehicle, and the engine stalls, but usually will not...

BITOG has members in Australia, and many people across the globe have directly, or indirectly had the opportunity to experience life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the sacrifices of the Aussies and Kiwis. Lest we forget. An exert from the AP: April 25 is the date in 1915 when the...

Neat graphic, something I haven't seen before. A SWA 737 CPT loading bags into the belly of the aircraft after discovering no baggage handlers were present. I have a gut feeling this CPT is an awesome pilot and truly cares about the passengers. Caption: "Southwest Captain and Pilot expedite an...

Below is an advertisement from 28 years ago. That ad writers shot a bit too high; I suspect the numbers published in the ad will not be hit in the next two years. But the ad does demonstrate the results of printing currencies.

Came across this on Facebook and thought to post it on BITOG. A 2020 F350 oil change at a Ford dealership. If accurate, a very tough situation for all involved- most especially the truck's owner: Initial post: So I dropped my 2020 F350 DRW Lariat to the dealer for an oil change. Got a voicemail...

Cam across this gooseneck trailer for sale in Fargo, ND. The price at $8900 seems more like pre VID pricing. Going through the pictures- something sticks out to me- anyone else catch it?

Was the losing bidder at $1800 USD ($2800 out the door) on this Wells Cargo trailer at salvage auction last week. The winning bid was $1900 USD, and did not make reserve. The Seller IS NOT AN INSURANCE COMPANY. Seller appears to be an individual. Seller offered a BIN at $9900, which I think is...

My 2019 F350 has an option called Ford Connect. Ford connect does a number of things, I can lock, unlock, remote start, turn off the truck, etc- all from my smart phone. The truck will send my phone issues like low tire pressure, check engine light including details on the issue, etc. I was...

Seeking the master minds of BITOG to determine if YES or NO is the correct answer on this job application question. It seems yes for the first half of the question, no for the second half of the question. Of note I have never committed nor have been charged or convicted of any domestic violence...

This story is just one example of why the world wants to immigrate to the US. Most countries in the world will find a justification to take their citizens property when certain conditions are not met. Not judging if this woman did or did not violate laws. The old saying can hold true " show me...

When the Chinese decided to live in peace, they built the great Wall of China. They thought that no one could climb it because of its height. However, in the 100 years after its construction, the Chinese were invaded 3 times more. Enemy infantry soldiers never had the need to climb or penetrate...
