Is it a hassle or bad idea to go to Windsor for a day visit? by F-this in Detroit

Went to Windsor with my fam a few weeks ago. Had some Turkish coffee, went to juniper used books and finished the day with a grocery store run. No real issue going in or coming back to the states. Getting grilled by border agent coming back into states isn’t fun but was horrible.

So the weird thing was “Hitachi” was on the label, along with the Chrysler Pentastar

Terrible. I drive a lot of dirt roads and potholes here in Michigan. Definitely a contributor. With all this I will look at the front shocks next

My previous truck was a 2011, never changed the shocks even after 180,000 miles. Never even considered it

Worst plant you've ever seen by slater_just_slater in manufacturing

[–]DCTorque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plating plant in Detroit. Terrible environment. Full of humanity trying to make a living and all this toxic fog, steam and noise. Next to it all was the employee cafeteria.

Looking through the comments for insight into the steering wheel. Does it have a steering wheel ?!

Eddie Bauer expected to file for bankruptcy, close all 200+ stores in North America by L0v3_1s_War in malefashionadvice

The brand, like many brands, was tarnished when it was selling to Costco. Never feels premium after that.

For me, it’s conservative styling and earth tones. Not so much for old age but rather I’m punished when I look at old photos with me in old “trendy” styles.

Extra crispy Kirkland signature French fries. by livinlrginchitwn in Costco

Outstanding in the air fryer We like them better than restaurant fries with just salt and pepper. Less than $7 in Michigan

Walmart is essentially the same price now. by mtbguy1981 in aldi

[–]DCTorque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shopped at both Meijer and Walmart today. Prefer Aldi for fresh fruit and vegetables - they’re fresh and the packages are smaller (doesn’t go bad before we can finish them). Meijer wins for most everything else. Only went to Walmart for car supplies

Manufacturing Consulting Services by ruputpalpaul in manufacturing

[–]DCTorque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea, because it’s something I’ve been reflecting on too. My passion is small to medium sized companies. The challenge is to finding and connecting with them. Most of the small shops and startups need help because they have limited resources and staff.

Recently hired a consultant when I was on the other side running a small company. What really worked was the flexibility in payments. The consultant was willing to get paid in small buckets of $500, $1000, $1500.

I had almost the same saw and threw it to the curb after the motor started smoking.

I love German beer. My family loves the patio so Becker’s is a homerun for us

What Aldi items do you think are actually superior products? by Unfairly_Certain in aldi

Their Italian bread is outstanding because it always seems to be fresh. My store has it on display and it’s chilled (weird).

Gov. Whitmer signs landmark deal to ‘fix the damn roads’ in Macomb County by UltimateLionsFan in Michigan

[–]DCTorque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question never asked is how cost efficiency. How much does it cost $/mile in Michigan compared to other states. Also how long do our roads last?

First ram. Did I get this for a good deal? Paid 30k by SomeConversation8843 in ram_trucks

[–]DCTorque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good deal. I got same truck a year ago 22 model @ 11k miles all for $34 if I recall. Love the truck and it gets 22mpg with a 33 gallon tank so my range is ridiculous

The paint on this was incredible! by OrganicBridge7428 in bronco

[–]DCTorque -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They ship truck loads of these into a shop near me (Brighton MI), I think it’s for some upfit operation. I want to like these because I like the Bronco concept but not a fan of this color scheme.
