Youngsters! When I grew up, there was no such thing as Cable TV. We had three channels with decent reception: ABC, CBS, and NBC. No color TV, either, until I was about 12. It was not that we couldn't afford it... it didn't exist yet! Oh the horror of the 1950s! -Skip

An oldie but a goodie. Part one of two: The post below was written by Jason "Whirlwind" Hegel, a colorful and somewhat notorious member POA who doesn't hang out here any more. Regardless, this advice has good information for all current and would-be owners contemplating putting his/her plane...

I am just spitballing here, as I have no research or other hard data to back this up, but consider please that the stop/start cars have a fully lubricated, warm engine for all but the initial few starts of the automotive trip. No “drip time” for that engine. That has to minimize the wear for...
