Is that while you're facing uphill or downhill? It's all that power that you have under the hood. Ever notice the torque steer? Just kidding. Wheelspin on a wet hill, depending on the grade of the hill and the amount of water, is common for a lot of front wheel drive cars. Doesn't happen the same way with a rear wheel drive. But most rear wheel drive cars have larger engines, more horsepower, and torque. Laws of physics? You have a heavy foot? Common strategy with a stick shift on hills, is to use the parking brake until you feel the car starting to move, then slowly release the hand brake as you throttle and release the clutch. With good timing, car eases into motion smoothly. You can try setting the handbrake, then throttle lightly until the vehicle starts to move,, and releasing the handbrake and throttling at the same time. Or left foot braking works. Your brake pedal is wide enough. Next time you're on a hill, shift your left foot over to hold the brake. Then trottle until you feel the car going forward, and release the brake as you continue to throttle.

Even in Seattle, I would expect wipers to be good for 1 year.

It also depends on who is doing the reporting, and their driving styles. I doubt if any fleet users have an employee posting their numbers for the entire fleet. So anyone who drives 8 - 10 hours a day, low speed, engine idling, stop & go....is for the most part, not reported. Guys like me who get very poor mileage, are not represented in those statistics. I see that someone reported 10 MPG.

Rick drove a convertible.

Those pellets are excellent for control of temperature. Since they are uniform in production, they are superior to uneven pieces of wood. I know why people like them. Old guys like me tend to stay with old technology. Like an abacus vs a calculator.

I'm not sold on those pellets. I prefer real wood over lump charcoal. I prefer real wood over pellets.

You will want the Long Wheel Base. Unless you are very short. You need to be able to lay down without curling into a ball. And you will have a very difficult, if not impossible, task of finding padded mats to fit. With the long wheel base, you could just about tuck a twin or full mattress pad (the kind without the springs).

Here is a view of my wire going into the void next to the door hinge. I am using 3 wires because my lighting is set up that way. You should be using 2 wires, for power and ground. Your wire should exit right behind the wheel well. From there, pop off the plastic fastener to peel back your sill plate which runs along the unibody pinch seam. Insert the wire and run it to the next plastic fastener. Replace the first fastener, pop off the next fastener, keep running wire. Here is a view of the sill plate as it begins behind the wheel well, and the very first plastic fastener to remove.

Of course it's possible. It's possible to do whatever you want. You just have to be willing to do the work, to make it work. I doubt if it will be a simple bolt-on swap. First, remove the seats you already have. Then get the seats you want, plus all of the mounting hardware for those seats. Now you may need to remove the hardware for your seats, and install the hardware for the seats you want. You may have to cut away what you don't want, and weld in a new piece of flooring to mount the seats you want.

Right down the block from me, is Lazzari Fuel. We use Mesquite, Apple Wood, Cherry Wood......for different types of meat. Here where I live, with so many different cultures, there are restaurants and caterers that offer whole roast pig....head, feet......tail to snout. Nothing is wasted. And every part taste so good.

You're not taking corners fast enough.

How did you can cook that thing?

Thanks Politically correct salutations to all.

Over the years, with different people not being able to find the oil filter, not being able to find the page in their owners manual, et cetera...... This should help. https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2015_Ford_Transit_Connect_XL_2.5L_4_Cyl._Mini_Cargo_Van/oil/change_oil_and_oil_filter

If a specialty market develops, where a small displacement crate engine becomes a high demand item....... Same way people still buy Chevy 350 & Ford 302. You never know what the future holds. Though I suspect the demand will be for something like a Honda VTEC crate engine. Maybe you can add a Honda engine to your Ford.....

There's a member who sells soup with his. Mine is a "shaggin' wagon".

Ford Racing Mustang engines with superchargers have a Ford Racing filter. Ford Racing filters have a similar part number, and I suspect that they vary little in build. A MotorCraft filter will never fail your Ford. Exercise discretion if you choose another brand. Some brands are not well made. Some are better. Conduct your own due diligence and be informed.

For daily driving, within OEM spec oil change intervals, MotorCraft is fine. If you have a performance engine under load, like racing, you would not want some of those. Watch some of the online videos where they cut the filters. Then you have a better idea of what some filters do and don't do.

What car do they still make that for? And where do you find one?

More stuff online I've run across over the years. You guys will form your own opinions. What this does not show, which you can find online videos of, is how some filters have very poor quality media, parts are glued together, gaskets that get stuck to the oil filter mount which you have to scrape off, and gaskets that fall off. Not all tension springs and clips are equal. The best videos also show what those filters look like when cut open after XXXX thousand miles. Even the canisters aren't equal. I recall some canisters being so flimsy that when I tried to remove it with a filter wrench, the canister crushed like a beer can.

When I watch black & white movies, and drink, I get my white dinner jacket out of the closet & pretend that I'm Rick in Casablanca. Running guns. Underground casino. Selling stolen travel documents. Bribing cops. And sleeping with another man's wife.
