I am or maybe I should say “was” the proud owner of a 2011 ram 1500 truck with a 5.7 hemi. I’m so disappointed in the 5.7 that I feel maybe I should buy, and I hate to even think this but maybe a Ford! I’ve been bitten by what I am being told is the hemi tick. (And my motor is not making any...

A few questions about tongue weight on your trailers. I have a 24' trailer (Gator brand) that has a V-nose frt end. It is not one of the really expensive trailers but it does what is ask of it. The main thing I use it for is to store my Zero turn mowers and generator in it, kinda like a moving...

Getting older and Ive been struggling with hearing for a few years now. Was tested at a local ENT 2 years ago and was told I need hearing aids. I just couldnt get over the fact that they are 5-6K for a pair and put it off. So the hearing is getting no better and its time to do something about...

I have listed one of my cars on craigslist about a month ago. I priced it extremely high because i dont really want to sell it but it gets the wife off my back as she thinks i have too many cars.

Some of us have those wives that are always thinking we have to many toys. Ok maybe its just me. Anyway she is always telling me I need to sell some of my cars. So every winter I put my Vette on craigslist for a ridiculous price and tell her I'm trying to sell it. Been doing this for at least 4...

Im a John Deere fan and I owe and have owned many Deeres in my life. I currently have an X324 with a rear bagging system. This tractor is a all wheel steer which has a very tight turning radius compared to a standard tractor. This has lead to me busting the rear bagger many times with to sharp...
