Magnatec is what my Mazda dealer uses. Every 4 months, which means roughly 3500 miles. Yeah, serious overkill. Might buy a scope and look at the engine when the prepaid maintenance plan is over.

I have used Castrol for the past few years and for an insignificant cost difference over the regular GTX I figure why not use the Magnatec version. I think I barely hit 4k miles since the last change in mid March, I figured half a year was good and I need the protection of new oil in the winter anyways.

Your tailgating probably didn't help, relax a little. Getting home at 6 o'clock or 6:05 isn't going to make a big difference.

She wasn't that old, I wasn't anywhere near tailgating her, and the stupid turnpike better be smooth dangit that's what we pay those tolls for. Also since the weather people didn't know when the hurricane was going to hit 5 minutes could have made a difference between me getting fuel or not before the people who hadn't been out of state for the last week and a half took it all. Yeah the roads are decent here and shockingly an empty dually rides nice too lol. Useless govt over hyping a storm that wasn't even as bad as our summer storms.

 

*edit*

 

Also we bilk ourselves and tourists dry with our hotel and fuel taxes. Fuel taxes probably are supposed to go to the roads and I don't remember what the tourist tax goes to, quite a few things.

We have tolls, plus high taxes - the state uses all our money, paves all the roads in and around Boston, and forgets about everyone east of 495 ..

 

 

 

No frost.

That, and when repairs are needed, they actually get done on time and under budget ... unlike this poor excuse for a state up here.

 

When I lived in Phoenix, they paved 40 miles of I-17. Not only that, but EVERY SINGLE BRIDGE that crossed that 40 mile stretch was torn down, and completely rebuilt from scratch. They did all this in UNDER 1.5 years, and under budget. Totally the opposite of what happens in MA. I was amazed.

 

The icing on the cake, was they did all the work 3rd shift. Maybe due to the heat of the day, but, there were ZERO traffic problems during the entire project. Never sat in traffic due to construction. MA could learn alot from this ...

What road? 429? Just drove it today (not the truck) down here for Disney. Hotel in Daytona beach was still closed today.

On time? Under budget? What dream world are you living in, it isn't Florida. Most of our roads are under construction and take so long that it seems they have to start over by the time they finish.

The one in the video was near the end of the South bound turnpike I believe. A lot of things on the coast will probably closed for a little while. Disney sounds horrible, I can get in free and still don't want to go, but I hate crowds so what do I know. Plus I'm cheap a...

 

Turnpike, 408, 429, 528, and 417 are the toll roads I'm familiar with in central Florida. There are more down south but that's too close to Miami for me to care.

I figure that's because 80% of the Northeast has moved there over the years. Just about everyone I grew up with in the old neighborhood lives in FL now ...

Sold my 4Runner and got a cheap little SUV. Cheap price and actually gets decent gas mileage for AWD. It's an 08 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Dealer shot. Haven't taken a pic at home yet. Got rid of the Runner to save cash for a Colorado. 5140bec73390c978a73c243d15282ed9.jpg

Yep they come down and never leave. What really gets me going is when people move here because they hated where they were and how things were done. Which is fine, but then they act and vote the exact same as they did back home and then stupidly wonder why this state is going to poop.

Sounds like way too many people for me.
