I went back to Castrol, which I used for years with no problems before Mobile 1 came out.

Mobil has decided to stop packaging performance grade 20w-50 oil in the 5L jugs. Apparently they do not think the performance market is worth providing cost effective and convient packaging for. ...

I read the manual for the waterwitch conductivity sensor switch and it says it won't work well with rain water, which is what I need the bilge pumps for most, so that is a no-go. I presume all the...

Just wanted to see if others are having recurring issues with the Verado FSM float switch. Had both mine replaced about 100 hrs/2 seasons ago with the then latest (Generation -3?) model. Had one...

To keep your cover from staining/wearing on the upholstery try lining the inside of it with the material from a hihg-end car cover (I think it is called Noah fabric). Mine were made that way and it...

I used 303 last time but I think the Starbrite I used previously worked better.

I don't know but it sounds intimdating. I have to admit I have never been able to get her to wash my car, the $ isn't impressive enough.

I was getting ready to schedule for the boats spring waxing when my daughter and her friend asked how much I'd pay them if they did it. I pointed out that it is a little like waxing a semi trailer...

As eveyone has said, good fitting life jacket, hat and sunscreen and hold him on an adults lap. Keep trips short and easy. Bring a towel to sleep on the floor if you need to take a rest stop for...

I agree judges are a lot of the problem ... and judges were - and are always concerned they may one day have to go back to being - lawyers.

Yes. Even the religous right got in their pay-to-play gift with the last minute abortion directive. The Republican leadeship's only goal was to see if they could make it not pass, as even being...

Yes and I'm sure the CEO's are also overpaid and they work the Congressional Plus-Ups like other companies but I don't agree with it.

Republicans (nor Dems) will ever touch real tort reform,...

Passing the health care reform bill was long overdue.

Is it a perfect bill, no, it's loaded with lots of useless drivel and favors (most of them BY and FOR the insurance companies) like evey...
