I really wanted a BMW 3 series before they went from the rock solid 3.0 Inline 6 to a 2.0T, and made it look like an angry chipmunk. At one time I was really into the Mustang. The only thing that’s stayed constant is wanting a full size truck, one of these days I’m getting one. It’s a pain to...

In the Outback it will give a loud beep and a red warning pops up on the driver info display when the lane follow loses the lane... If it loses it in the middle of a curve you will have to grab the wheel right away. There is a reason why they want you to keep your hands on the wheel even when...

Eddie It didn't take me long to realize that having those features actually promotes lazy/distracted driving. I even turned on the adaptive cruise and lane follow and pulled out my phone just to demonstrate how easy it is to lose track of what's happening on the road. I also found myself losing...

Don't have cable TV, never missed it. Used to watch OTA but have pretty much completely abandoned that for streaming. Have 300/20 internet from Comcast for $60. 

I just recently went car shopping and negotiated a deal for my mom on a 2020 Subaru Outback after she totaled her 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and it has all the Eyesight features. I've driven it a few times so far and find that they are gonna take some getting used to. The only one I actually want for...

I see no reason these should rinse any worse than other traditional top load washers. It does a 50 second spray rinse and a tub full of water on the rinse cycle (for the heavy duty wash). And that said that’s also been my experience comparing to other traditional top loaders like DD WP’s or a...

The 3 flat my dad owns built in 1915 had gas and electric lighting when it was first built. All the conduit is black iron just like the gas piping, and it all came down to the basement to one electrical panel (which is now a junction box with another conduit leading to the current breaker...

I watched Doug for awhile but then couldn’t stand his squeaky voice anymore. He can be funny though.

I upgraded my desktop PC to 10 back when they were offering it to 7 users for free. It works fine even though it’s apparently not supposed to even be running 10. However getting it to work in the first place was a giant pain. My main computer is a Mac and I haven’t had to reinstall Mac OS on it...

I carry two phones around and have T-Mobile and Verizon. T-Mobile and Verizon both have great coverage in the metro but T-Mobile drops off and Verizon shines when you start venturing off the beaten path. They both have congestion issues but they seem to complement each other and that's why I...

The texture of dark meat is unpalatable to me, too much jelly/slime. I don’t like the plumped white meat either, I was unaware that was even a thing but I’ve definitely encountered that several times before and I won’t eat it when it’s so moist that it appears under cooked. In general I like...

Had a car with HD radio once. I remember the HD stations dropping out constantly, in a big metro not that far from the transmitters mind you. None of our current cars have it despite two of them being 2017 and 2018 MY cars and the oldest a 2013.

I'm having trouble with several of the candelabra style LED bulbs I've been using, so much so that they're not even lasting a year, and these were "high end" Cree bulbs. Now I see everyones gone to a filament style with NO power supply which means they all have 120hz flicker, which is a huge NO...

Our GE gas range w/double oven from 2015 is holding up well. No complaints whatsoever, had to get used to the oven though because it holds temperature so precisely it doesn't even overshoot the setpoint.    I've never cared for any other appliances GE offers. 

The result from the AWNE82 reflects my experiences. I should do a similar comparison between it and my Orbital Maytag DC. I suspect the Maytag would do considerably worse. Those laundromat front loaders will do an excellent job if they have them programmed to do enough rinses and use enough...

2-3 years ago I became mildly obsessed with buying and trying different detergents so I built up a small stockpile of Tide & Gain products, and stopped once my space for them in the closet became full. Out of everything I’ve used I haven’t really been able to tell any big difference in...

Our Humane Society laundry room has two Speed Queen tumblers with the huge lint traps underneath and they’ve managed to have them catch on fire twice in 13 years. Not sure if they’re letting the lint traps go for weeks or if they’re putting things in them that they shouldn’t be.

Probably depends on the design of the fridge. If it’s a convective coil on the back, or pulls air in the back and blows it out the front you probably never need to clean it. However if the condenser fan pulls air in the front it’s guaranteed to pull in dirt from the foot traffic of the kitchen...

The heating elements are too close to the clothes in those GE dryers. I’ve taken them apart and it was remarkable how much lint was mere inches away from the heating element, not to mention the clothes. The heating element on that particular one looks like the same cheap wire style ones you’d...

The best (and only solution) is to keep using it and not worry about it. The more you use it the faster it will go away. It took over 6 mos for it to go away on mine and it gets used a good amount.
