Purchased the EGO string trimmer today. It’s the “16 inch” version model 1623t. Put it together, charged up both batteries, it came with a free smaller 2.5 ah battery in addition to the main 4 ah one. It trimmed down one side of the driveway, put it down to move something and when I started...

I’m currently looking to buy a new car and I’m in no hurry. I’ve been perusing the websites of various companies and while many are pretty straightforward none compare to the rabbit hole that is Mazda. I feel they have too many trim levels and common options like heated steering wheels and rain...

Pretty good presentation. Thoughts?

I see the Crown Vic’s get a lot of love on this site. Howdy Doody loves them too...

My son was side swiped by a city vehicle on the interstate this morning. He was in the left lane and as he passed the city vehicle she pulled over into his lane hitting him and scraping from mid passenger door back. At 70 mph he had nowhere to go and was luckily able to keep it on the road. Cops...

Predictable but interesting.

As per the title the 1.5T in the 2016 civic ate the number one spark plug in about 10k miles. Replaced the number one coil and dropped a new set of nkg plugs in it and will see how it goes. May be a sign of injectors getting out of spec as it just passed 100k miles. The number one plug is on the...

Out and about on a nice spring Monday morning and ended up buying a new vehicle lol. Local CDJR dealer finally got some new Grand Cherokees in and I grabbed a Limited model with the Rocky Mountain Pearlcoat paint and tan/black leather interior. The color is a green that is so dark it looks black...

Looking at a leftover 2022 RX 350 at a very very good price. Last year of the V6 and I see that is a positive as it is a very smooth running engine. The tech inside is like a decade behind but that doesn’t bother me, it still has a CD player in the dash lol. Never owned a Lexus but have heard...

When it comes to options, what would you have to have in a new vehicle or wish you had on a current vehicle? For me it’s memory seats/mirrors. My wife maxes out the seat up and in towards the steering wheel and if I don’t look I end up cramming myself into a ball trying to get into the car.

Wonder what kind of oil spec and oci this would call for? https://newatlas.com/automotive/volkswagen-motorized-office-chair/

Looks like VW is at it again according to trade mark filings. Synthetic Blinker Fluid. Looking forward to another round of funny VW commercials. https://carbuzz.com/news/future-vws-are-only-allowed-to-use-synthetic-blinker-fluid

Looks like Honda is under investigation for braking systems and lane keep assist. At least this one doesn't involve my 2016 https://carbuzz.com/news/the-feds-are-not-happy-with-honda

High level of automation. The extra effort for the two tone paint is impressive. Alot of tape offs.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 58k miles. Can hear a metal on metal rattling sound from the front end that appears at the slightest bump. If hitting the very same bump with the brakes on no rattling sounds at all. It tracks straight at all speeds and no pulsating of the brakes.

Here is a recent, 4 month old video, of a crash test btwn a jetta and corolla. This is a 50% overlap front collision btwn two cars where as I believe the standard test for safety ratings is 25% into a stationary wall. Wonder why they chose 50% over 25%? Just looking at the cars the jetta seems...

Looks like there is a recall coming for drivers door wiring harness and door control module. It appears the connectors on the wiring harness are subject to "micromovements" especially in cold weather. Last winter and this winter too I've had random window lowering mostly on the drivers door and...

When it comes to EV's it seems most are readily identified as one just by their looks. I've noticed a few, looking at you Audi Q4 etron, that look more like a regular ICE vehicle. When I comes to EV styling would you prefer the "EV" look or more traditional vehicle styling?

Looks like this fine oil is now carried at my local Autozone for 32.99. Not bad for the 504 for the Atlas
