  1. I had insurance with Progressive for about 8 yrs. There auto coverage got out of hand and I switched to Allstate and saved enough to put coverage on my home for what I was paying Progressive. I also had my two bikes with them and they doubled the cost. I went to Allstate with them also. I pay $559. per year.

  2. I'm thinking that a good shop needs to have dirty floors, cobwebs in the corners, lots of cobwebs, parts in all the spots not covered by running apparatus, lights here and more lights there with no real way to turn them off individually maybe, tools everywhere with an empty tool chest, left over pieces of projects long gone into history but yet could be handy somewhere down the road, a source of heating the place (best a wood fired stove) an old chair or two that will handle the bulk and weight of anybody, but that nobody ever uses,,,,,,, sorry, no pictures! and oH a fridge, doesn't have to work real well, but it's good for looks (everybody gets to look in it)

     

    Dang it Carl you just described what my shop looks like. Except I have two chairs.

  3. Jeff I have the Truck light phase 6 LED driving lights and they are brighter than the Silver star ultra that I had to put in at MD this year. From what I have heard, you can't get them any longer but the Day maker lights look real close.

  4. Yeah what Steve said on the flashers. The chrome air filters are out there but at double or triple the cost. As for the chrome switch cover IMHO you can do without it. It will blind you when you don't expect it. I had one on mine for a very short time.

  5. I don't know about QS, BUT, the oil that got my 318 van engine after 160K miles was Penzoil. The mechanic who took the heads off and repaired them said he blamed the oil since it was paraffin based oil. Wax.

     

    Don't know if that's true, but I haven't used it since and have had no problems with other vehicles for over 600K miles.

     

    Quaker State regular is what had a lot of the wax in it. I have been using Penzoil synthetic blend for quite a few years without any sludge or wax build up.

  6. That sounds like the best thing to do. The Scag mower that I have had a 22 hp on it. But when I got it from a friend he had bought the 25hp to put on it. He has a lawn service contract with the county schools board so he gets a great discount on lawn equipment . I an trying to buy the Scag Turf Tiger he has and let my son have this one.
