Anyone here know stuff about cars?
Two things up front: I'm not a mechanic, nor really know much about cars I'm american I have a very good friend who was/is a mechanic. He always told me a diesel engine has less maintenance over the life of a vehicle versus a petrol car. Also I distinctly remember a science teacher in high school claim that a diesel burns cleaner than a petrol engine. I have no idea what filter you're talking about. Guess I really didn't contribute much

I'm of the opinion that you should do something in the military that you may never have the chance to do again. Then again, I had to go to school after I got out because there isn't really anyone looking for people who like to blow shit up and lay landmines in the private sector...

Effing A right! Also its back to 12B not 21B last I heard As my username suggests, I was a combat engineer from 2002-2006, wounded twice Operation Iraqi Freedom, medically retired. Now work as a DA Civilian. Essayons, my brother! Sorry to hear about your forced retirement. On the plus side you came back in, I'm assuming, one piece? So amen to that. You are officially part of a brotherhood of well-hung heros and no one can ever take that away from you. It's a tough road to haul, as you very well know, and not many people can say they have the ENORMOUS balls to disarm a landmine - with potential secondary and tertiary firing devices - WHILE PEOPLE ARE SHOOTING AT YOU!! It's crazy but I randomly work with like 4 other Combat Engineers, and I'm in EDUCATION! Dear god I can only imagine!!! I wish I was able to go to Sapper school, however, I was too junior in rank to go when my unit went. Back before they authorized the tab, everyone was called a sapper, can't imagine it's like that now... My squad's nickname was bomb squad. That deployment we got hit like 10 times. I was the worst injured though.

Ales, I live in South Texas now, way to hot to even try lagers. I just made an American style IPA. Its good, but I thought it was going to be better. I really like making wheats and stouts as they are my favorite to drink. I actually started with a 2.13 gallon Mr. Beer kit in 2010. One of my professors in college was a big homebrewer and him talking about it got me into it.
