Five plus years and with end in sight handling my father's estate. The final IRS (and state) returns for the estate were filed in March. Now I have a letter from the IRS saying I forgot to take a $300 exemption and a refund is on the way. The CPA that completed the forms says the IRS is wrong...

I needed to get a Carfax for a vehicle I'm selling. Carfax wanted $45. I found CheapCarFax.com which buys them in bulk and charges $6 to run a VIN for you. It's the real deal all done real-time. At least for the one VIN I paid for. Can be accessed on their website for 2 months where you can...

I received an email from Veterans affairs saying records show I may be eligible for VA health coverage and lists a bunch of benefits and prompting me to apply. AI claims there aren't downsides having Medicare and VA care and I would always be able to choose which to use if overlap. Not sure I...

I'm ready to buy my first/only cordless ratchet. I'm committed to Dewalt power tools. Down to final 3 versions (w/current Home Depot sale prices before 10% veteran discount): DCF512B - Atomic 1/2" $219 (with a 5 Ah Powerstack battery) DCF513B - Atomic 3/8" $179, identical to 1/2" above except...

I was researching wheel lock lug nuts. I had ruled out McGard early on BUT noticed some strange things. When doing search by vehicle, none of the locking lug sets with or without matching 16 matching non-locking lug nuts have bulge in their descriptions even when the factory and most...

I have a set of new wheels on the way (not Mustang). For reasons not worth the wear on my keyboard to explain, I'm buying tires from Costco. Costco will not install TPMS they don't sell you. Figure better to do it myself than fight with them over it if its easy to do right without damaging them...

I wanted wheels for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. Shopped supporting vendors from numerous car forums and brands posted by owners on those forums including this one. There was just one I hadn't at least heard of before and ended up going with them. One thing that made a difference was how easy...

I'm ordering a set of wheels with bead knurling. I understand there can be issues with slow air leaks. Not common but it happens. PS4s tires seem to be among the ones that might happen with. I'm going with PS4s from local place. Is there anything that can be done to the wheels or tires to...

Ernest Hemingway declared the only sports are motor racing, bull fighting and mountain climbing. Everything else is just a game. I assume because any competition where you'll probably go home with all your limbs intact doesn't require as much courage. Within WORLD championship motorsports...

I have a nephew who was just evicted from his apartment. Actually I think it was the 4th or 5th eviction proceeding by that landlord in the last 3-4 years who finally decided to not allow him to again pay for damages, landlord legal costs and back rent to stop the eviction. I'm told the eviction...

I knew Light Shows (standard Tesla feature) could be coordinated but didn't know they could be so long. I think longest I have played with my Tesla is about 4 min. Don't have the music chops or patience to compose my own. Just use the ones that sometimes show up with the weekly/monthly updates...

My special order '78 Trans Am WS6 with flawless factory paint needed an engine rebuild. a Dealer back in '79 replaced the cam under warranty and left a bunch of metal behind. Took another 40 years and 5k miles to chew up the crank. The shop that pulled and reinstalled the engine did a number on...

I screwed up and apparently will outlive a term life policy. Got a notice saying effective the start of May, policy will automatically renew and my premiums will increase more than 10 fold. It also said existing bank authorizations will be canceled and provided a form to set up new...

They claim that a Mustang model that was never released is one of the 10 worst? https://themustangsource.com/how-tos/slideshows/10-ford-mustang-model-years-to-avoid-991655?utm_source=2025321&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=content#8-2016-ford-mustang-problems-68

Costco survey asked: "Above Expectations" vs. "Exceeded Expectations" ???

This morning a Mercedes changed lanes into my Tesla. Even if blind, I'm sure he would have heard my Mustang. Cops took a report which I hope included him telling them in my presence that he moved into my lane to prepare for an upcoming left turn but didn't see me. I wasn't really concerned since...

I would attempt it if my night vision was better. https://newatlas.com/sports/plane-mid-air-first-time-max-manow-red-bull
