I have abused Fester the F-150. Worse than I ever have any other vehicle I've ever owned. Straight up neglect.  I'm absolutely embarrassed by the amount of miles between oil changes. Its bad.

I bought my Touareg in December 2021. It had 128,882 miles on it. It had a sticker for next change due at 126k. I changed the oil for the first time today at 138,338 miles. 
 

In that time I towed another Touareg home, towed a New Beetle home. Then towed away scrap metal of a Touareg, a Boxster, and the New Beetle. And for most of that too had 32" tires on it over the stock 29" equivalent. It's been a trooper.

I hope I can say the same for Fester's 5.4. I think the auto gods smited me. I forgot to pop the plugs in the drain pan and Exxon Vadez'd half of it down my driveway. Then the dipstick was rust welded tight to the tube. Fought that bastard for a half hour before I worked it loose. Whatever, I deserved it.

You own  Ford truck with a still functioning 5.4?  Wow, that's a serious collectors item up here.

I won't add that they are so rare because farmers don't change their oil nearly often enough to keep the chains and phasers in one piece.

Is it just me or has battery lifetime on even quality UPS seriously shortened recently.? I just found another one that seems to have completely dead batteries that isn't that old.

Despite reading what seems like half the internet and even asking chat gpt to explain it to me as though I were a goat, I still just can't quite get my head around responsive design and why this damned table won't scroll on a small screen.
