  1. I'd trust a Toyota that followed mfg recommended maintenance infinitely more than I trust an Audi that followed mfg recommended maintenance.
  2. Pizza ovens also make incredible searing ovens for steak finishing, get yourself some cheap aluminum plates to use in there.
  3. Not defending it, but I've been one to run mismatched tire a few times. Was on a road trip, blew one tire, unrepairable, and only tire I could get within 2 days was mismatched brand. Other tires were all really new, so I mounted it to keep the road trip going, and just left it be.
  4. If you use parking mode they will shorten your battery lifespan, even with their voltage cutoffs. On newer cars you'll usually get battery or charge system faults as well. You need to install a separate dash cam battery if you want to use parking mode. Otherwise, no effect on car battery.
  5. Find something with the Seiko 5 movement. Comes in all sorts of styles.
  6. All of the married guys in here are familiar with having to pump manually.
  7. Ankarsrum for bread and any other heavy kneading. Plus it's silent.
  8. Don't worry you'll get a couple BJs to make up for it.
  9. Get a BeBird wifi camera ear pick. Kids will be all sorts of fascinated and grossed out by what they have in their own ears.
  10. Definitely come. Hiking is all over. Drinking and eating is all over, and there's a fair amount of history around the state.
  11. Only a communist could hate home slushy and ice cream machines. Why are you so communist?
  12. Specific for Carplay/AAuto into newer BMW, look at mr12volt. They're the only one to use the fiber optic MOST bus for audio instead of the aux input, better sound quality. I've put them in CIC, and NBT cars and they work great. (That covers all BMW about 2007-2017.) 2018 and newer you can just add the wifi antenna and have someone code the Carplay on, no need to "buy" the option from BMW.
  13. If pizza is a thing, don't miss Pizzeria Bianco, probably the most publicized (and IMO overhyped) pizza from AZ.
  14. Ban yourself. Nothing can beat the rice from a fancy pressure control rice cooker.
  15. It's super fast for a small cook, less wasted power, less heating up the house, less cleanup. Does a better job of concentrating heat into the food so you generally get better crisping. No one needs one but is very convenient for a small household.
  16. Get my hands and the thermometer out of the hot oven or grill, in my case. And when gradually retracting to find the coolest part of the probe, those seconds waiting for temp to stabilize add up.
  17. One on each grill, and on each stove, at each house. Plus gifts.
