There are 4 places the 2 filters can go so it does make a difference if you don’t use the correct locations I would presume. My core explicitly says to not soak it in water. I do understand that other types call for doing that but they must not all be the same.
All they needed to do is add a bit of explanatory text to the engineering drawing in the manual, but nooooo… 🤨

I am vested in a pension from a private company and I can start pulling from in next month as I turn 62. I don't think it will be a lot but it's a little extra money as I plan on working the next 5 to 6 years before retiring. When I retire I'll get a state pension and Social Security which will replace about 90% of my salary with savings and investments we should be ok. I still plan on doing taxes in my retirement but full time during the tax season and maybe get some type of easy peasy retirement gig.
How do you think this new $600/1099 rule will effect your tax preparation business? I’m not even sure who has to generate them but it looks like if I pay my mechanic $600 in cash I’m supposed to give him one. Is that how it works? Sounds like a nightmare.
As for an easy peasy retirement gig, Sandy and I can hook you up.😉
Unless you made the payment as part of a trade or business you really don't have to worry about the 1099.
I know someone that told me they can hit me up with an auto parts place running parts from the store to dealerships and mechanics. But I will keep my poster poster buddies in mind when the time comes.

So true. There just aren’t many colors today.
What I wonder is where does gold fall in, with the browns? Mid to late 90s it seemed gold cars were everywhere much more than 4%

If you don’t like the rental car thing you should go work for one of the luxury dealerships. They do home pick ups and you get to drop off loaners while driving the customer’s car back. My friend basically drives nothing but $100k cars all day.

My red car is becoming extinct.
Maroon is extinct.
Interesting way to show it.
Black is really gained...big time.

Hertz offered me a three day a week schedule and even though it was a longish drive to get there, I took it. Lasted 6 years until I couldn't take it anymore. Before I could quit, i found a ig with Enterprise closer to home, much closer, so I grabbed it, quit Hertz & never looked back. Has been a great place to work actually and think OF will agree. We get to participate in a 401K account plus get profit sharing, two things Hertz never gave us. Heck, they refused to give me a $25 gift card because I left on December 2nd of that year. First, my boss lied to my face telling me no one got one and then, a co-worker called to tell me they did in fact get them. I had planned to visit the old boss & tell him how petty it was to lie to my face but decided I didn't even want to waste the petrol driving down there.
Best part was I heard within a few months of my leaving, all but one of the remaining drivers left that branch. Guess I started a trend but was well worth the move.

Or, perhaps, I've just discovered the free stations and those are the only ones that get my valuable business. As a PHEV, I don't need no stinkin' electricity.
The DC/Level 3 stations, now those cost.

I do not understand the popularity of either black exteriors or black interiors.

I don't do the shows indoors in arenas.
But I read happy news that some national shows are in planning to be held here in the
area again. Plymouth Barracuda, REO, Oldsmobile, and Monte Carlo shows are coming.
In the past I enjoyed the Crown Victoria show, along with Mercury, and one other I
can't recall right now. Have to look for photos of their conventions.

I’ve had a few black and dark colored cars. They do take more work but in all reality aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
I love a white over beige car, but having black on black right now I don’t hate it. I’ll also say that I’ve never owned a jet black car. The ones I’ve had all had some shimmer or Pearl to them which maybe makes it easier to live with.

On my next vehicle, not sure I'd do a blue exterior but will want a lighter shade for the interior. If it was to be the Bolt, it'll be either the light blue or the dark red. Haven't checked out the Kona colors yet & not sure if they have any EV's in our area. If the Corolla Cross, the Windchill pearl over the black & white interior is the only one I like well enough to pull the trigger. Did drive a regular Corolla the other day at work for about an hour and was pleasantly surprised at how well the 2.0 engine accelerated as there's no turbo which I'm used to. And going with the Corolla would mean synthetic oil changes wouldn't be necessary anymore. A slight savings there, part of where the "cheap to keep" factors in.

Those Pittsburgh Dad clips are usually pretty good and for those that have never been to the Burgh lots of folks talk like that. It’s just a basic “yinzer” thing.

but they have not budged in months on higher grades. Mid grade was $4.89, and PUG was $5.29. $2.10 extra for premium, is just nuts. If you are running low that is an easy $30 extra for a sedan with a tank with capacity in the teens.
place is moving fuel though. large station, at least 12 pump spots, and usually they are all full.

I do not understand the popularity of either black exteriors or black interiors.
My company must own a good portion of black car production (or maybe they get a better deal because nobody buys them from dealers). One thing I do know is that it’s difficult to keep them clean. Even right out of the car wash the water spots make them look dirty.
While I don’t personally like black interiors I find that at least for rental cars, that color hides stains. We have a few cars with light interiors and sometimes I’m reluctant to even sit in them.

I did find another house, just too late, that was about 3 miles from there. That would have been an easy commute!

Do you think I can go back and exchange it for the cheaper gas?
BTW, don’t expect prices to go much lower since they will get a 25 cent bump when they reinstate all the taxes as of the first of the year.

(Rehashed) electric charge rant: Was going to plugin during errands lunch. Four spots for charging:
1. Tesla 3 plugged in
2. A Louisiana plated sedan, non-electric
3 & 4 A minivan taking parts of both spaces, non-electric
I didn't stop to really look close, the optimist in me thinks that the two non-shockers were perhaps using them as handicapped spaces as they were closest to the front door.
The realist in me probably knows that many people just suck.

A couple of times, I've left polite reminder notes on windshields. But, didn't remain to see the owner's return, read the notes and apologize to the sky, vowing to rethink their place on this small orb.

I was on the motorcycle and got the last spot in the parking lot just ahead of a Prius. The driver of the Prius was a bit mad at me for taking the spot and told me it was for fuel efficient vehicles only. Sure enough that's what the sign said "Fuel Efficient Vehicles Only". My response was "I get 64 MPG city and over 70 on the highway, what does that gas guzzler get?". Man she was not happy about my response.
