I have to rave about that gun I picked up from Harbor Freight. If I remember correctly I was able to catch it on sale and then had a 25% off coupon to boot so I think I paid about $45-$46 for it. Yesterday I pulled the steel door off… Continue reading
Sears & Roebuck was and has been one of those great stores that was always there. I will never forget the trips to the only S&R in town with my parents on Saturdays. That was a real treat and the best part was the treat I would get. Yum, always… Continue reading
Yes I know it’s not the most exciting thing talking about an econo-box vehicle. But I thought just maybe it could be jazzed up a little bit and made interesting – we will see how it goes. The econo-box in question is a brand new 2014 Nissan Versa Hatchback that… Continue reading
Just a quick word here but in a previous post I spoke about performing your own oil changes and the related costs – specifically how you can save some money and probably get a better job. This evening on the way home, I reminded myself that I needed to pick… Continue reading

According to the seller of the merchandise there was a $250 installation fee and after working on the installation I… Continue reading
Found this earlier today while waiting for the big game to start. I have several specialty filters on my crew cab F-350 truck and the local prices for them are just going off the charts. For the two filters I need, the NAPA price was $16.00 for one and $11.00… Continue reading
Like everything else the cost of oil and filters for your vehicle is going up. One of the methods that I use to save money on oil and filters is by examining what I am buying. Let’s start with oil, the first thing you want to look at on a… Continue reading

Few to very few vehicles actually require oil and filter service at this interval and unless your driving and vehicle use match those conditions,… Continue reading
I have been on eBay for a very long time, sometime around 1998 or 1999. I have been what you would call a successful seller and buyer over all of these years. But over the last few years eBay has made it more and more difficult to sell items, they… Continue reading
