inSaw a shop in Portland using old spoke cutoffs as tire levers, now I'm questioning my $18 set
Wait, he ground down the spoke? I always thought you just bend the end into a hook and call it a day. Maybe the grinding is why it worked so well on a Gatorskin, those things are a nightmare.

inAppreciation post: a 2006 Corolla with 287k on it made my whole week feel easy
My buddy's Civic just needed a new battery terminal, $4 part.

inI thought the $140 smart thermostat was a scam until my July power bill came in
$61 lower than last July, even though it was hotter" sounds like a solid win, but I'd pump the brakes before crediting the thermostat with all of it. Rates and billing cycles shift too (my July bill covered more days than June's did last year, which alone can swing things by $20 or so), and AC run time depends on way more than temp. Did the numbers hold up at $61 once you checked your actual kWh used? That is the part that tells you if this is real or just a luckier month.

inWarning: the day I found a 1967 Mustang fastback in a barn near York, PA, I spent $900 before lunch and only saw it for 20 minutes
Ouch, but handing cash to a stranger is the real problem here.
