Our stores tend to have lots of things that have a "smell of the season" so when you walk into our stores your nose automatically knows what season we are selling before your eyes do.
If someone came to me and asked to buy scent generators for our locations I'd usher them out of my office with the quickness.
Side note...
This is my second day working from home. Started at 6:00 am when I got up and wish I could do it all the time. It is so nice. Shame it is short lived

Geez——Louise!!!!!!!!!! I think I’ve found me a new business if they’re getting away with those prices.
And what’s with Russian fascination of jumping lane barrier/dividers? Is that a thing? Or are the barriers that poorly made and engineered?
I get really tired of the drivers who want to get ahead and then cut into my assured clear following distance from the car ahead of me. They think as soon as their turn signal is on then have a right to move over and that assumes that that everyone else has to have seen their turn signal from the first flash on.
I anticpate some of these and accelerate some for a period to make it less inviting to cut over.
If you let yourself get agitated at every stupid driver out there you’ll have a stroke.
Yesterday, on the way to Burlington a woman in a Camaro (V6 no less) decided that me doing 5 over the speed limit on rt. 7 was too slow so she passed me on double yellow then cut in so sharply that I had to brake. Could have let her hit me, it was a company car so no skin off my nose but I just shook my head. 5 miles later I caught up with her stuck behind a dump truck so all her shenanigans were for naught. I had a laugh.

I think someone got it right when they attributed it to vodka’s ability to make you fly.

I've had both good and bad luck with rockauto. The prices are good, the shipping is fast enough, and if you choose wisely, my son, the parts are of decent quality.
I have had foul-ups though, most recently sending me 4 monroe shock absorbers for a Mitsubishi--which as you know I don't own. Seems like a name mix up with some other joe. They did straighten it out pretty fast, though, once you get through their baffling customer service menus.
"Living in a different space"? Well, anyone driving around in a 100k Mercedes IS in a different space than you or I. I think Mike (@abacomike) is living with a lot of physical ailments, and his options for entertainment are becoming more limited every year. If he chooses to spend money on a lavish automobile (and the accoutrements that go with it), and on his daughter and grandson, who are we to judge?
I say go for it Mike, and more power to you!

Well, I was in a mood due to the recent passing of my father. I passed again and gave the driver a taste of his own medicine and drove about 20 under. Several miles later, at the next red, he tried it again, but I blocked him that time. He backed off after that. Not saying I did the right thing. Just sharing a story. You never know what the person in the other car is going through in their life that makes them act like an idiot.

You do not, put on your signal, and then do a lane change.

I always try my best to avoid a collision, and I'm (usually) successful at that. But when they're flagrant, I will honk the horn.
Many years (decades) ago, someone got angry over my honking the horn and tried, repeatedly, to trick me into rear ending his car. He made several unexpected, unnecessary stops with no brake lights (using the emergency brake, I assume). By the 3rd time, I was expecting it and prepared. I stopped, jumped out with my baseball bat and broke out both of his rear tail lights. He took off like a jack rabbit.
These days, you wouldn't dare. Every other car on the road is equipped with a Dirty Harry special 44 magnum, and they would shoot you full of holes quicker than they would look at you.
The following distance lovers here are also often LLCers who open the door for everyone to pass on the right, thereby dropping further back as they slow more as a reaction to a car crossing within 300 feet of their bumper. Keep that to the right lane if one is so timid, or better yet, find a bus/taxi/rideshare. Licensing standards here are regrettable (oops, said something bad about Murka, maybe I should leave it? )
IMO if one leaves their car to confront someone about a traffic slight, they might be asking to be hit or maybe worse. I love the videos where the confronting party ends up having their car door knocked off.
1. I’d change the brake fluid every two years. It’s cheap insurance.
2. I have been extremely happy with FCP Euro for BMW and Mini parts- they are my go-to vendor for anything non-OEM. I use my BMW or Cincinnati Mini for anything that I want from the Mother Ship.

The rules of the road are mostly designed to keep traffic flowing. If a car in front wants to move into my lane they should make sure they have enough space before putting on their turn indicator...it isn't up to me to try and figure out what they are going to do and when. I don't say to signal after you have started the maneuver. I say;
*Check mirrors and over your shoulder if possible to see where you want to go is clear,
*If it is clear, then put on your signal
*Check again quickly to see a car didn't suddenly move into that space, and if clear make your lane change.
If you signal without checking to see you can move into a lane first....then you could make the driver in your blind spot panic. I get really annoyed when I am driving just behind someone one lane over, and they automatically turn on their signal indicator without checking.....do they see me? Are they just going to move into may lane? Will they be looking back to see if there is a car there before moving?
In the video, if the woman had looked back before signalling she probably wouldn't have attempted the turn. She is the person who puts on their signal and then thinks they have the right of way.

In heavy, heavy traffic (LA County 405 freeway, Highways 101, 880, 680, Silicon Valley) signaling makes for a much smoother traffic flow & can allow for adjustable spacing & not making the car behind slow down to stop or speed up unnecessarily. Anecdotally, when signaling, the majority of the time people let you in.
One early Sunday morning in the Santa Barbara to Los Angeles, CA flow,I wanted to get out of the #2/4 lane going for a “Sunday drive” @ 80 mph. I signaled to get into the # 1/4 so called passing/fast lane. It was zipping along INXS of 86 mph in CLOSE spacing. It was obvious to me that trying to get into the # 1 lane at 86+ miles an hour with it’s close spacing & my my lane going 80 miles an hour would not be safe. I literally had to wait until about 35 to 40 cars passed and only after a LA County bomb disposal truck moving at the same speed created enough spacing behind to change lanes. I was then able to follow the LA County bomb disposal truck to LA.
The sun just came out and when I pick it up I intend to give it a little workout.

I didn't realize brake fluid should be done every 2 years...I thought it lasted a long time. And the last I ever heard automatic transmission fluid lasted for the life of the car, though that was when 100000 miles was the end of the life of almost all cars.
I hope Mike is making notes...he has never experienced having to do these things.

I'm just jealous that he has held on to it for so long. Someone out in
the used MB world is waiting for a nice CPO.
And I'm jealous I'm happy with my well-loaded Malibu.

I agree, the lady is at primary fault here, she clearly violated the rules of the road, but the the dashcam guy seem to hell bent into closing the distance or was completely inattentive and oblivious to what was about to unravel. My biggest beef with him was he didn't even slow down at first contact, he kept plowing like nothing, no brakes. It takes fraction of a second to react to something like that, he didn't seem to care. He had a chance to avoid or minimize the collision and didn't even attempt to do that.
I never understood people who think just because they are in primary lane (they should be yielded to), they don't have to be prudent and avoid hitting somebody. A little courtesy and defensive posture could save us a lot of trouble, even if others are at primary fault.

In the video camera - guy did no defensive driving. If he had used my motto "think what the stupidest thing the other driver will do and then be prepared because there is a good chance he will do it" he would have been ready to stop.
If anyone is interested I thought this video was pretty good to show how to change lanes....it would be great for teaching a new driver. To change lanes he says 1. Check mirror, 2) turn on signal, 3) check over your shoulder, then move;

We had friends.......he was driving when he was about 86 but his reaction time was very slow....I could see him running into her car because his reaction time was so slow.

Or fiberglass/plastic either. Good point.

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The Ford's I would consider would be an F-150 if I ever wanted a truck which is very doubtful, and I would like a Mustang if I was a single guy (not that I am expecting to be). I saw a guy park one at Costco and I thought what a beautiful looking car, and so nicely proportioned.
I would also consider if we had about a 6 car garage.
