I never have cared and never will care about what might be best or better for any component of a vehicle. I'll let it idle for hours if need be for my comfort and convenience which is why it was purchased to begin with.

Why do you let the practices of others influence what you do or not do? You are going to quit hunting the way you enjoy hunting because others don't hunt the way you hunt? That's stupid. I hope you don't apply the same philosophy to personal hygiene. Do you change your oil even though others...

Ford, not GM, but I have 7 F-250's driven by men who show little respect for them, tow and haul at max ratings almost every day throughout the summer all use Motorcraft 5W-20 and WIX filters. Engines are fine. 5 of the trucks are approaching 200k miles and will be rotated out next spring. I sell...

Cameras are game changers, especially backing up. Mirrors are another reason I prefer trucks. On the Super Duty trucks, I keep the lower convex mirror showing the ground, rear tires, and a good chunk of the pickup box. Ideal for towing trailers and maneuvering in tight spots. Also good for...

"Nose over toes".

Properly getting the boat ready for summer holidays begins in the fall.

Respect and trust are both earned, not given. Old saying, "Be polite, but always formulate a plan on how to kill everyone you meet". On a side note, as someone who builds roads for a living, I have a couple thousand tips for your driveway grading! LOL! Looks good enough. Can't do much more...

I'm feeling cynical and shouldn't be posting, but... Six year loan on an Equinox. Didn't care about it during it's formidable years but now you do after the damage is done. Sell it and buy a Ford. Those don't need maintenance. In the meantime, change all the fluids and filters with Motorcraft...

Noted in picture: Nothing like taking your undisciplined dog to a car show where it is inclined to jump up on people's cars. People lost all common sense.

Your obsession is putting you in a position you are trying to avoid. The whole idea of doing drain/fill is to not shock the system and induce problems; you know this. Put yourself on a schedule of doing a drain/fill in the fall and the spring and forget about it in-between. If you keep doing...

I like mine for the same reasons as the other respondents like theirs. I like leaving the shade open because it makes the cabin feel airy. I love having it open on cool mornings with the heat on. It's nice to have partially open when parked on hot days to keep the cabin cooler. Nice when I don't...

I have two vehicles with automatic software updating and WiFi.

I just went back and re-read the entire thread. If you look at the pictures in the OP, that's the result I got. The front door to my house is about 30' away from where the car is parked and I can easily see my reflection. I can't help but to stare at it and I don't really care about such things...
