    Ozone machine alternatives

    What your describing could be a fouled HVAC, mine goes from wet dog to mold smell. If you run the “professional use only” ozium directly into the hvac ac air pickup with on full recirculating doors closed as soon as you can and let it sit a while that might help. Be careful as you can...

    Ozone machine alternatives

    I assume you’ve pulled the cabin filter and blew it out with a leaf blower then replaced with a new filter? Yes an industrial ozone generator does wonders too bad they are expensive and unreliable. If the carpet and seats got soaked with nasty and surface cleaned it’s a tough problem

    Why do people use the rear brake?

    If your not sure of conditions you ideally start on the rear to test conditions then slide into the front once you know what to expect. Locking the rear usually isn’t as bad unless you are the dumbass that only starts braking after the curve starts, around here the tighter curves conveniently...

    Sub Inflation

    I get still get most footlongs for $6.99 since I only buy the sandwich with coupons. Sadly coupons don’t work on salads, (they won’t chop them anymore either) also the bread now days is more narrow and tapered which makes the sandwich smaller dimensionally. Since Subway is still a place I can...

    What powers the ac compressor on an electric vehicle?

    My antique Insight did, the assumption was that the fan over the cold AC coils was good enough to keep you cool the <5 min you are normally stopped. Once any of a variety of different parameters was hit the motor could restart even in estop and ac would start again

    How far would you drive on a gamble for a used car?

    Yes and a few years later the brakes and seals went then the shift and clutch cables coorded. Then the gas tank started leaking through layers of gas tank sealant. (Thanks po) In storage I’m told someone is making reproduction wheel ends and brakes who I should get considering how otherwise...

    Roof quote

    My father and myself did the roof in 4 days (2 weekends) thankfully dry the whole time, used ondura instead of steel because of its diy nature , would never do asphalt tear down replace given how mediocre they have gotten (some houses start leaking at year 5)

    Non ethanol gas at gas station

    I have been noticing fewer stations selling every grade as e-free. (One has converted to only 87 octane as either with or without ethanol) 90 octane is a dead grade with or without ethanol in this region. 92/93 is very rare

    44% of available jobs are considered as being “minimum “ or low wage jobs There aren’t enough children to fill more than about 40% of the minimum wage jobs. (And considering school moves that down considerably) many elderly past retirement age are in low paid jobs as well. Our demographic...

    The cost of living in 2024....

    Liability insurance for 1 person is $3500 a year now. I could drive uninsured and buy another used car every year and be ahead And People wonder why the uninsured rate is 50% in some areas.

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    But it’s safer than almost any vehicle 6+ years older than it. Anything Before 2010 would (by government standards) be considered a death trap now days. For it’s weight it’s quite safe, the issue is 8000lb boxes

    Roof quote

    This is why all houses should ideally have a roof with 2 sides and nothing else. I would never own a house I can’t put my own roof on. It never leaks, any hillbilly can easily diy and if you have the unfortunate life ending experience of having to pay someone it should be done in a few hours...
