Congratulations for cleaning up your place after the previous vehicle sell-off. I’m hoping for a “David Tracy moves to a different property with a bigger garage” article by Spring 2021.

Now divide that money by how many hours it took you start to finish.

Thank you for your comments and the BITOG link. You have given me a lot to think about. My “DD” which used to be driven 6500 miles/year before I retired, has now gone 7K over two years and I was jolted into action when the “5% oil life remaining” message popped up. This car has a turbocharged I4 and I’m…

I’ve specifically studied and lab tested automotive fluid properties and specifically degradation over time/use. I would change your oil more frequently.

...a good time to have a quick look at everything else under there while I’m at it.

I’m hoping “a couple” is code for I really don’t remember.

With me it’s somewhat based on the manufacturer’s software. My wife’s Fit posts a message at startup when the oil life gets down to 15%, which is when I take action if she remembers to tell me about it. It continues to alert with a 10% message. It’s never gone below that because she has always eventually…

...they’re parts that will likely be replaced before too long.

Nah, I’ve already got one car company run by an anti-semitic megalomaniac, why do I need another?

The only people I know feeling compelled to buy a Buick are mid management types looking to not drive a Chevy trax, that end up in an encore instead.

My parents drove cars like that – Olds 98 and Cadillac sedans. I always hated the boatlike, wallowing ride and the enormous expanse of sheet metal.

...when battery tech will advance enough to fully charge a vehicle in 10 minutes on standard 120V home outlets...Biden’s overall scientific illiteracy combined with his aggressively-advancing dementia makes him putty in the hands of his hardcore socialist cabinet.

...you’re talking to a person that daily drives an old school bus...

At this point in my life, no way. Any high mileage vehicle will have so many parts already either worn out or wearing out, besides all those which have already been replaced. It’s a legitimate buy for people who are willing to put up with higher repair costs compared to buying new or lightly used. Ironically,…

My most dicey engine experience was way back in 1979. I’d already swapped a low mileage, stock 1974 Pontiac 400 into my ‘69 Firebird and was ready to step it up. The large-chamber, low compression heads had to go. I had a pair of high compression, big valve heads from a friend’s ‘69 428 Grand Prix, fresh back…

Devout Christian here...Christianity, in its actual practice, is simply modeling your life to the best of your ability after the teachings of the historical Jesus, who was a real person...

Have a $10 lottery for chances to be in the squad.

“Horizontal Christians.” Praying sideways instead of upwards.

There’s nothing in the bible about having to gather in large groups!!!

Congress intervened on Oct. 6, 1941. To make everyone happy, it formally solidified Thanksgiving as occurring on the fourth Thursday of November, even in years when five Thursdays fall within the month. The decision was made right after the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
