Unfortunately, I took the oil sample but I never shipped it out to Blackstone for a UOA. Just before I shipped it out, I went to the dealership and oh well, I left with a brand new car. I traded in my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid base model for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. They gave me a good...

My pass expires 12/23. That is the end of this month. I am offering it COMPLETELY FREE to anybody who will genuinely use it. Please, take it only if you will honestly use it. I guess you can post some pics from your trip if you use it. That would be nice, but not a requirement to get the free...

The Nissan Armada is a great bargain vehicle. In my opinion, it is the best most affordable large 4x4 V8 out there. I like the way it is described as the poor man's Landcuriser. I have owned 3 of them. Well, 2 Nissan Armada and 1 QX. I have only good things to say about my 2 Nissan Armada. I do...

How do you like the Accord hybrid? I would say 10/10, but I say 8/10 because the driver seat is not very comfortable for me. But I love this car! It shines in gas savings as mileage. Only another hybrid can compare with it in getting the most mileage out of a tank of gas. I often hypermile and...

After my long trip from Texas to Alaska and back to Texas, where it saw me beat up my Accord on the Dalton Highway, it was time for me to do a major maintenance service. I changed my oil, filter, transmission fluid, air filter, and cabin filter. I also went ahead and bought and installed 4...

Dawson City. A cop was putting somebody in handcuffs while his girlfriend was sitting in the car at the wheel and crying. I have no idea what happened. They stopped in the middle of the bridge. The cop drove past me when I stopped to take pictures. About 10 minutes later, I was at the bridge and...

I have some pictures that I wanted to add that were some cool experiences during my trip. Deadhorse I wanted to sleep in my car but I got very cold that I decided to get a hotel room. I tried the first place, and they were sold out. I called the next hotel, and they wanted $175 for the room...

Bump. For anybody looking for a Scepter Jerry Can.

Steve and Lynne first noticed my car when I happened to be driving in front of them in Glacier National Park. Since my car looked unique to them, they had a conversation about it and then I guess they stopped and I went away. Later that day I met them randomly at a gas station at the entrance of...

My Honda Accord is my one and only vehicle right now. I made sure it would handle what I would throw at it before embarking on this journey. It has truly been a trooper! The main downside about it is that I am not very comfortable in the driver seat like I was in my 2008 Maxima or my 2012...

I had a deja vu experience today. After about 30 minutes of driving after leaving Dawson City, I was on a straight stretch of road. I got a glimpse of someone pulling his cart with a small Japanese flag on it. It immediately hit me that I have seen something like this before. Yes, that is how I...

I did not ask them that particular question, but it seems that is something they do often. That is help anybody on the side of the road.

They said basically because it was in Deadhorse, AK. Everything is very expensive there. The rate they charge when their tire technician is working on your tire is $100 an hour. He was estimating it would take him more than an hour to fix my tire, but it took him less than an hour to fix it.

I got into Canada and started the Top of the World Highway. It was a very beautiful but scary drive down to Dawson City. There is a lot of loose gravel. Be careful, or you will lose control of your vehicle and can have a very bad accident. I enjoyed doing the Dalton Highway, but my car took a...

I was supposed to sleep in Fairbanks, but I called and canceled my hostel. They told me it was too late and I would lose the money. I said no problem. I stopped and got gas in Fairbanks and was on my way towards Dawson City, not knowing that the Canadian border would be closed by the time I got...

I spent the night in Wiseman, AK in a nice small motel. I got it because it was cheaper than the hotels in Coldfoot, AK, which was 13 miles away. I had a restful night and met some older folks who told me a lot about their own trip of floating the rivers near Coldfoot. I had a restful sleep...

Two days ago was a very hectic one. I spent the night at a hotel instead of my car. At 10pm, I called 2 hotels, and the second one said a night was $175. I told them that it is almost 11 pm and I am leaving at 6 am, so can I have a discount and pay $100? He said if only I had cash. I said yes...
