Apathy?!?!

Old age.

I complained in the past that my collision avoidance system alerts when vehicles are turning right when there is no chance of a collision and it has never sounded when a vehicle is moving to my left. Well, the other day it went off when a vehicle was turning left for the first time. I already...

Ditto. Park, then unbuckle. I'm not in a movie-chase scene mode.:)

Ditto! Got out of my 2024 Lariat to get the mail. Locked up one time over a year ago. I laid a newspaper over the console before getting out. Don't see how that action could be related.....

Seriously, I was in danger of dozing off in the Impala - scary.

The cloth seats in our Impala was like a sofa - no complaints here. The Malibu is a Premier 2.0 Turbo (rare) with heated leather seats. Must be how they do leather.

My Lariat is a very comfortable ride. Yesterday, the wife asked Malibu or Maverick for a 50 mile trip. Without hesitation I said 'Maverick, it rides better.'

Pep Boys Tech: Several years ago, I took my Chevy Colorado in for a 6 year old battery replacement and told them to do a oil service while they were at it. It was late January, 10 degrees and I didn't feel like f'n with it. Four months later I got under the truck with my 15mm socket and ratchet...

If you disregard the advice already given, you would need to anchor the filter assembly to the frame to prevent leaks due to vibration. You will also introduce four more possible leak points to the system.

My experience is alignment men and certified mechanics do not do oil changes, minimum-wage earners are the norm. I don't recall ever assigning a qualified mechanic to do an oil change when I worked on the service drive.

I was making $65.00/week. My first raise was 10 cents/hour. Then I got drafted and took a pay cut: $81.00/month. Free medical you say? Uncle Sam stills pay for my unwanted pain and disability.

I remember driving my Oldsmobile Super 88, 371CI, to the gas station after receiving my paycheck from the Chevy dealer and after filling the tank, calculating what I was going to do with the money I had left. Save for retirement? Ha! those weren't the days!:sneaky::)

I served in Vietnam - That is the biggest sacrifice I have made for my country. My second biggest sacrifice is paying taxes. It takes money to run a great country. This thread is about teaching fiscal responsibility, something that is lost on way to many people. I've been paying taxes for 70...

Loan debt? Young adults? Interest payments have become one of the single largest spending categories for the federal government. The loan interest payments on our national debt regularly outpaces national defense spending. (source: fiscaldata.treasury.gov) Kids need education??? This gargantuan...

I wonder how many people have been killed or injured because a vehicle went left of center due to front-end part failure. Another reason I check the front end is to avoid loss of vehicle control. Wifey says I worry too much - I disagree.

A fully loaded Silverado can retail for more than your Vette. A friend that works at the local junk yard drives his $89K Denali to work on Mondays and Tuesdays. He politely sneers at my Lariat, he liked my Tacoma. I'll stick with Blue Boy for a while longer.

I had to move my '24 Lariat while i was working on it. I had a pair of 8 inch pliers, jaws down, in my right rear Levi's pocket. The pliers made a 1/32" hole through the seat cover. F_ck!! I have always preferred cloth seats but I wanted all the bells and whistles. I believe the cloth seats...

The first part of my alignment process is to check if the vehicle qualifies for alignment. All suspension parts were checked for wear, play, and fasteners and retainers properly positioned. If something needed attention, it was reported and the alignment wasn't done until the problem was...

Sped read this thread.... Compare Mexican autoworkers salaries to U.S. autoworkers. Be careful what you ask for. Based on previous experience, there will be one heckuva fire sale at year end and the beginning of next year. Ford is already discounting there vehicles. Some full size trucks (Ford...
