That reminds me that its time to trickle charge the batteries before winter... it must work, as I'm coming up on 9 years from the Delco (yeah Delco, strange huh?) battery that came new with my Tacoma.

At one time or another most of these tips have been argued on this forum.

Not all of his points are correct, but I'm not taking the bait.

Consumer Reports has often published things that were questionable at best.

Consumer Reports recommended the Dodge Neon as its best buy, and I was stupid enough to believe them... never again

I subscribed to Consumer Reports for a long time, over 15 years I think. I usually found their recommendations pretty good but when they blew it, they blew it so completely that it would leave ya speechless.
I always liked the "selling it" section though.

Here's my most recent experience with CR. Last year I was researching which dishwasher to buy. CR liked the Bosch the best because of it's low energy and water usage and because it's quiet. It was more expensive than the other dishwashers, but still I was tempted. But when I found customer reviews on Amazon, Best Buy etc most people were very happy but quite a few people complained about it stinking. Maybe it's the best dishwasher in the lab but in the real world it doesn't use enough water. Or maybe it's just that people were expecting too much from it. I went with another brand.
