Re: The Permanent Supplement Regime

So, expeller-pressed, refined grape seed oil ain't the way to go? I suspect that indicates industrial processing?

Re: The Permanent Tooth and Gum Care Regime

Pug, I'm at the 6-month mark for visiting the dentist. We hope to fly up for Thanksgiving but I don't know. This is uncharted territory and I don't like it. Listerine does some nice work per your suggestion. On the lighter side, I note you are a Tesla owner. I am envious. In my last six gas station ...

Re: The Permanent Supplement Regime

WiseOne, et al, Which oils do you use, if any? We are using grape seed oil presently. One of the joys of our former Manhattan life was Fairway Market's explanations and selections of oils. We don't have that now. Can "organic" be trusted when using safflower oil or sunflower oil? I only bought olive...

Re: Baseball?

Agreed that MLB and other sports organizations may have future problems with attendance, etc. I can't seem to find the excitement over the baseball season starting soon. If Aaron Judge can't stay on the field, my interest further decreases. Anyone here play Strat-o-matic Baseball in decades gone by?...

Then again, considering your diet, health regimen, you'll outlive us all!

Re: The cars we love/hate & the cars we may buy.

The tires are good at 34 PSI. So, it's chat with the mechanic and/or wait for the next visit to the gas pump. Is a used Camry listed on Cargurus better than a new Tesla 3 for $23 to $24,000 more in price? The little voice tells me the Camry is the better choice. If the car were for me alone, I'd get...

Re: The cars we love/hate & the cars we may buy.

Mark, Pretty fastidious on the fill-ups. I always watch MPG to get an "early warning." You may be on to something, though. I'll see about the next tankful and, probably, stop and ask the mechanic. Vinnie, I'm usually on top of the tire PSI but it's been 2 weeks. I'll check later today. Cheers. P.S. ...

Re: The cars we love/hate & the cars we may buy.

Just filled the gas tank and surprisingly, MPG dropped to 22 from the usual 29 to 31MPG. Car's running well and my mix of highway/local and stop-and-go has not changed. The needle dropped too fast compared to the trip odometer this fill-up.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

A piece of exhaust pipe needed a weld. The owner did it in ten minutes. All of $20 and I gave him a five as a thank you. If I had a ten, that might have been better. Tipping is an art form. Still learning. A Tesla Model 3 in four years may work out well but for now the Accord's clear coat on the roo...

Vinny,

I believe one must be in the state 182 days or less to claim non-resident status. Derek and a few others should have had better tax advice. Their tax bite/pinch hurt. Can these super-rich people afford you and me?

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

WiseOne, I believe the New York City 'commuter tax' was reestablished 20 or so years ago. They may get you on that. Also, I think living 6+ months out of state would get you non-resident status: IT-203 time! Do consider the prospect of filing a state return in your new home state. Good laughs there ...

Re: The cars we love/hate & the cars we may buy.

Vinny, The insurance really is $1,000. High population density and really bad Florida drivers. These Florida drivers can manufacture a head-on collision on an empty interstate. Also, I pay "uninsured driver" fee to deal with those who don't think buying insurance necessary. One would think New York ...

That market watch.com investor may have a point re crappy cars. My car insurance is $1,000 annually. My repairs will be approx $600. I'll drive 5000 miles this year: about 165 gallons of gas. That's $2000 for the year. Something's working. Vinny, The car is vintage- timing belt and water pump every ...

market watch.com had an article by a wealthy investor asserting the path to wealth is driving a crappy car. I believe he directed the thought to the younger people. Maybe the HBPP 4x25 people have a chance.

Mark,

You and I are on the same page re maintenance. I tell the mechanic to "find something wrong, please."

Tech,

For whatever reason, I like sitting in repair shops. I've learned a few things in the past 30 years.

Cheers.

Our auto body guy in the Bronx, said I had a hole in the trunk, for starters. An acquaintance who recommended me to the repair guy, chatt...

The Honda Fit is appealing. The Fit handles my desire for a manual transmission. The other Hondas have gone to turbos and I don't understand why.

Vinny, You must be more patient with the Honda Accords in your life. Our 1991 5-speed manual turns 30 years of age in September. Whereas it should have been gone in 2008, the new mechanic asked if I wanted to rebuild as he knew I had just done a significant repair the previous year. Nine years later...

What repairs did the $5,000 cover?

I'll post my repair experiences in the next post.
