The current situation is really simple, but not reported on and so not well understood. The Federal Reserve & Treasury have flooded the world with dollars. This is driving the cost of oil, gas, and everything else up. Money supply sky rockets starting April 2020: M1 (M1SL) | FRED | St. Louis...

18 months! I may give it a go. Thanks for the update.

How's your Gyeon Mohs holding up after this time? Curious if you're on this same application, have re-applied or moved onto something else. I've been using the Klasse AIO/SG for a long time (1 bottle lasts forever), but Mohs looks even more durable and long-lasting, if you can believe...

Are you still running the original tires? They have really soft sidewalls. I replaced the tires first, and even with the OEM suspension the new tires significantly improved the ride. At the time i went with Bridgestone Revo 2, p-rated, but any decent AT (if that's what you need) should help...

Probably because it identifies as a hatch and you’re misgendering it as a tailgate.

Also back ordered

This should help reduce inflation of both new and used autos. What will really burst the auto bubble though is inflation in food, gas and other items outside of autos. Inflation for cars may be transient but we’re importing inflation by importing more oil and other stuff, so some inflation...

I use Optimum tire gel but yeah, trillions of options. I use it on all the exterior black plastic and rubber. Lasts a good while, not forever, but seems to hold up better than stuff at the local auto parts stores.

I didn’t know SG was newer, just always thought of them as the twins lol. I also don’t use aggressive polish or pads. most of the time only P21s paintwork cleanser followed by the Klasse twins. Sometimes I’ll clay then use a Menzerna final polish, followed by P21 and Klasse. The p21 is...

Lookin' good! I still like Klasse AIO, it's pretty durable. Are you also using SG (Sealant Glaze)? Highly recommend it on top of AIO.

There are several options but first, if still on OEM tires you should replace those with any any decent street or mild AT tire. That will eliminate some nose dive and improve handling. One simple option is replacing OEM struts and shocks with Bilstein 5100, and keep using OEM springs. Another...

Pretty much this. Any mod that promises fuel gains (e.g., lightweight wheels) won’t pay for itself in terms of fuel savings even if you drive the thing until the wheels fall off. Get low resistance street tires, air up and try to hypermile lol.

I use the wedge too. It’s a solid choice if you want portability and want to use cup holders for cups.

It would be to transport tar-like crude from oil fields in/near Alberta to tanks and then refineries in the US that can process that type of raw material. New refineries in the US and probably Canada are out of the question. Would be too costly with too much red tape to ever happen. So the...

You're right that the price of gas is based on supply and demand. You're wrong that it's based only on driving habits. Without getting into politics, the government is restricting domestic supply of oil and flooding the market with money, which are both driving up the cost of gas - even if...
