Just got my kids a pair of 24" bike cruisers. I have a mountain bike, thus I have 3 bikes to haul. I've got a Volvo SUV with a 2" hitch and it also has aero rails on the roof. What's a recommended carrier? I think platforms are too expensive. Do 4 bike carriers stick out too far. Maybe a 2 bike...

This is been happening awhile in Fremont, but it seems to be getting worse. Why are cagers making a right hand turn in an intersection yielding to cars making a left? I constantly see a car making a right suddenly stop and let an entire lane of cars making a left go through before they proceed...

As the title states, has anyone done a 401K withdrawal allowed by the Cares Act for 2020. I don't need advice on the +/- of early 401K withdrawal, but trying to understand the taxes. I know there is no early withdrawal penalty and the taxes can be split over 3 years. In the withdrawal process...

As the title states, I ACTUALLY BOUGHT SOMETHING AT FRY'S. Lol...I never thought I'd say that since the photos of the empty shelves started circulating a year ago. Store definitely had limited inventory, looks like a lot of old stuff. The newer stuff was mainly cleaning supplies, sanitizers...

Fisher MT-6118 turntable. I've got it posted on craiglists for $50, sell to barfer for $40. It works, but needs some parts (belt, stylus) and wire on the cartridge needs a terminal. If you search craiglists for the fisher model, mine is the one in Fremont. You will see pics and more details. $40

This is not a political thread, but WTF is happening with deliveries. I know its quarantine and shortage of workers, but geez. I ordered something from Amazon, said 2-day delivery on a Suday, right away, I knew it wasn't going to be on time, as I haven't had an ontime weekend delivery since...

Anyone have real world experience and recommendations on a budget dash cam, roughly in the $30-50 range. Lots to choose from on Amazon, some look alike and I assume to be clones with different companies just offering customer service support.

My stair light switch was going out. It's a 3-way switch, one switch at the top and another at the bottom of the stairs. I replaced the top switch and just oriented the switch the exact same way as the old one (ground wire on left side) and inserted the wires in the exact same locations. The...

With the quarantine, my wife is working from home. I connected her corporate laptop/docking station to a KVM. It all works fine and we share dual monitors an a wireless keyboard/mouse. I wanted to upgrade the keyboard to a Logitech DiNovo, but it uses a bluetooth connection, not a 2.4ghz...

SOLD.

Thinking about buying a oil/fluid extractor. Anyone use one...thoughts on brands and any pitfalls. Looking to use on a couple of lower profile cars so I can extract through the dipstick, instead of having to raise the cars and remove the lower trays. Thinking about one of these:

With some time on my hands, what is the proper way to torrent in 2020? Is it basically the same from a decade ago when tried u-torrent. Any additional risks these days. Any precautions I need to make.

As the title say, anyone have recommendations to haul a car to the Seattle area. I've contacted a couple that came up on a Google search. The asking rate was $800-900. Any input would be appreciated.

Per the thread title, has anyone used them? Looking for a used car for my parents and came across their cars on Carfax. I visited them a week ago and they had a nice selection of luxury cars that were previously leased vehicles, all are advertised below blue book. I set-up an appointment to...
