Well, just fyi, I AM in the upstream part of the industry, have been since 17 y.o., and you haven't told me anything I don't know, which is all good. As the economics improve, investment money comes quick. I managed the 15,000' rated rig below along with 18 others at a very young age. It's a...

Yeah, everytime I see a Tesla, I almost have to laugh. I guess they have their place for a few people but the economics of electric cars doesn't work out, if all of the costs are taken into consideration. Anyway, not to derail my own thread, it looks like gasoline pricing is stable and...

The rig count is down due to simple economics. Oil and gas drilling is no different than making and selling cakes. If it costs more to drill and produce it than the operator can sell the oil and gas for, drilling doesn't take place. The rig count nose-dived in January of 2015.

The State of California forced two refiners to close down due to increased state regulatory costs. When a refiner can't cover their costs, this is what happens. Californians will be paying even more for gasoline soon, in a state that has large oil reserves. That's what they voted for. Oil...

I have just taken an exit to get away from someone that I couldn't otherwise on interstates. Driving an interstate on weekends or holidays brings out the people that don't know how to drive on a highway sanely. That's why I try to time my weekend trips to my family to leave during the week...

My opinion, no, it isn't "normal break-in" stuff. If it were my car, I would buy gas of a different brand from a different station. That's the first thing that comes to mind.

Has anyone seen gasoline prices go down in their area since January? I have, but only a tiny bit. Yesterday, I paid $3.42 for Top Tier premium which is at my normal place to fill up my personal cars. I am a little disappointed in this. I remember when I paid $1.87 for regular beginning...

I meant Lidar as well. I know they're banned in some ____ states. I already have a Valentine 1. Secondly, my CZ P01 Omega, gets a lot of miles on it too.

I don't use radar detectors for the purpose of speeding. My way of defensive driving is to not drive around other vehicles. They can't hit me if they aren't there. That said, every single time it seems, when I slow down to let people go around me, they continue following me which I won't...

Good idea @Wiley Marmot.......be right back!

I read somewhere or it may have been YouTube, to take the cabin filter out, and blow compressed air or the other end of a shop vac through the system and it helps to blow the crap out ahead of the filter. I'll find out soon.

Make that Top Tier gas also. Ford recommends it, there is evidence it is better, I've used it for a LONG time and have have run company vehicles over a half million brutal miles on 87 octane Top Tier. That's my target, then I get rid of them.....gas vehicles too. FWIW. New diesels won't last...

My radar detectors get used on every vehicle I own. I fight fire with fire. Anyone know of a good radar jammer?

I got the Ford Mustang rubber mats. Easy to clean up, reasonably priced. Forgot the price. I hate carpet mats. They make dirt and crap jump into the floorboards, not kidding! I can clean my rubber mats with a damp rag.

OP, just change the oil around a thousand miles plus or minus and be done with it. Not changing oil is what causes problems.

True. That's why I said, "etc". Same engine as Coyote, just 427 displacement.

Keep looking. Ford states it.

Glad you got rid of that box car. :thumbsup: I believe a lot of people bought them to play "po po" and feel like a "big boy". OK with me. Now go around a corner with one.

If I want to mod a car it will be an older muscle car with rebuilt engine from the ground up my way, same with suspension, wheels, tires and everything. When I get through, it will be a beast. It likely won't happen because it will only be a money dump to get near what I already have so what's...

I did my first oil change at 1300ish miles with PUP and a Ford filter....same as Skye uses I believe. I bought the oil and filter cheap from Amazon and the dealer did the work (great job) for $35 while I watched. Next one will be between 5 and 6 thousand miles. I didn't pre-pay for a...
