re: Any of you run TruFuel in your lawn equipment?

If you're looking for an economic solution to fueling carbureted 2 strokes, go to a local small airport and buy a gallon or two of 100LL. The lead acts as an additional lubricant in the gas. Mix it with 2 stroke oil just like you would ethanol free pump gas. A couple of years ago it was about $5 a ...

[quote]Halting the purchase & sale of GME is only going to fuel this stock again. [/quote] I bought a few hundred dollars of shares in it. I don't care if it gets halfed or goes to the moon again. Just want to be a part of something. I'm guessing it won't go to $300 again. But I'm willing to ...

Posted by WhiskeyThrottle on 5/10/24 at 1:54 pm

re: credit bubble vs house prices

Posted by WhiskeyThrottle on 5/10/24 at 8:21 am

I was "waiting" on the vehicle market to move downwards. It's a high price item but well below housing costs, with more volume than housing and I'd think that market would take a hit before housing. This is me thinking logically and absent of any professional experience. But logically, it would see...
