BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
(In the old days) it used to be standard practice to rotate the wheels [at every service I think]. This helped the tyres wear evenly including the spare. Last service and problem I had with the CRV, (water in the break pistons causing rust and front discs sometimes staying in contact with the pistons) I bought some new tyres as well, they said come back in 10000km to check and rotate the tyres. -

Pattaya's Dark Side: What You Won't Find in the Travel Brochures
Go to ANY major tourist location and you will find the SAME problems. Drugs, prostitution, crime, poverty. Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Budapest, Delhi, Dubai, Cairo, Hawaii, Mexico, Jamaica (mohn). Really no different from most major cities in most countries. Anytime you get large populations, especially of "transient" visitors/workers, you are going to find the same problems. It has also been my experience that the people who make a living from tourists (on the low end of the ladder like waiters, taxi drivers, vendors, security guards and so on) are often the ones who most resent those tourists. Because their livelihood is dependent on them and it's like a shackle around their necks. They want the money that comes from working in a place like Pattaya, but hate seeing tourists running around spending more money in a night than they make in a month. And we've had gov'ts for the past 20+ years that have "vowed" to get rid of the sex trade and vowed to "restore" Pattaya's image (as a world class family resort). And what has happened ? There's more tourists now than ever. So many that even the locals that make a living from them are complaining that there are too many. I don't know. Maybe if they shut down all those "BB Gun" arcades and Turkish Ice Cream stands on Walking Street the numbers of tourists might drop ? Just open (or re-open) beer bars and go-go bars in their place and that should do the trick ! After all, no one wants to go to a "world class resort destination" - especially in the middle of a dreary winter back home - if there's a possibility that they may see some "sin", right ? That would surely make the numbers of tourists coming here drop, which apparently would make a lot of the locals happier. (LoL - it might cause the numbers from a couple lower-spending demographics to go down, while causing a surge in other, higher spending demographics. Pretty sure the locals wouldn't have a problem with that at all !) -

Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
You're not kidding. But to be fair they were never really present, as this latest in a long long long line of "conspiracy theories" is proven factually true ie Biden was demented and incapable years ago and the democrats covered it up. https://www.express.co.uk/news/us/1991083/Joe-Biden-senile-mental-decline-hidden-voters-cover-up -
