“Dried fruit that’s sweetened can potentially contain a lot of sugar; plain dried fruit just really isn’t that sweet, and for some people can be very unappealing.”

I’ll allow solid-fuel rocket boosters.

The moose should stay intact at least through the linear acceleration phase for the results to be scientifically valid, which could pose a problem with other types of explosives

Boris and Natasha motors?

You’d have to find a moose that can travel at 39 mph, first

It didn’t flip, so it passed the test.

Horses are plant-based, aren’t they?

The manual for my 2003 Passat recommended having the dealer replace a dead headlamp. I found out how to do it on YouTube. Took 15 minutes.

To think his wrenching skills actually seem to be regressing.

I’m a commercial insurance underwriter. I worked on the liability coverage for a chain of jiffy lubes some years ago. You would be shocked how often they either forget the oil, or the filter, or the plug... It’s not extremely frequent considering the volume, but way more often than you might think. I’ve been doing my…

And who might actually put oil back in the the thing. Walmart couldn’t manage to do that one with my SiL’s pickup, resulting in $6K+ in damage (no comment on my SiL driving the thing 10 miles home with the oil light on, or my brother just filling it up with oil and never calling Walmart about it - sigh).

Sometimes, when it’s nice out, and my honey do list is completed (ha, like that ever actually happens) I like to change my own oil. Probably only do it once or twice a year, but on a Subaru it’s pretty easy and its a nice way to unwind on a pretty afternoon. Last summer we were leaving on a relatively long road trip…

Yeah, they “say” they aren’t going to mess with the meatballs, but you can’t even purchase them at the moment. All they have are the plant balls and chicken balls - and they are pushing those plant balls. You had to root around just to find the chicken versions but there were several freezers full of plant balls.

The E34 5 series also has a very inconvenient placement of the cabin air filter and most do not get changed and some have actually started smoldering because of how clogged they get. It’s essentially at the base of the center stack so you have to remove the glovebox then the carpeting panel that covers the central…

But does it have an Automatic High-Speed Panoramic Sunroof Detachment System like the Tesla? I thought not.

It has been a sad, slow decline here.

you’re talking about the guy that drove around with his high-beams on for like 6 months because one of his low-beams was out

Common maintenance? Cool. Probably something a car blogger should know.

“It was a couple of oil changes ago when the Jiffy Lube guy suggested I change the cabin air filter.”...

I’m just glad they’re finally packing more power into these things, because that’s what sells them. The go-pedal, baby.

They don’t know what they are talking about here anymore.
