    Good man.

    For many many years we have been taught to eat the wrong things and the wrong way.;)

    That’s a topic for another forum though.

    Do you make your own? Or just go without? I'm so confused on why the condiment isle has drawn so much wrath.

    I don't do Ketchup, but occasionally Hellmans or Ranch. Tell me Mustard is cool still, I love mustard, and I don't know how to make my own.

    I think the better question is,

    Is the owner reliable at doing routine maintenance?

    Both engines have their faults.
    Some will argue the 3.5 has had a few more mechanical problems.
    But it’s not enough to worry about.

    I think you should keep the 2010.
    I don’t see the 3.5 doing anything “better” than the 4.0.

    Save your money for something else.

    90% of time I go without, but mustard is one of my favorites, mustard seed has a lot of health properties. Ranch and things got everything we should not be eating.



    It sounds disgusting to most but melted butter is what I use to flavour most of my food. I’m into healthy eating and stuff so yeah. :)

    I can talk about this for hours.

    Sea salt, coarse ground pepper and a bit of butter make for a tasty piece of meat, works for chicken too. :)

    Butter on Steak is a no brainer, not healthy in the slightest though lol. My son calls it a Holy Cow lol.

    Honestly, I think I could get by on Mustard, Garlic, S&P, and hot sauce and be good on 99% of the things I eat.

    I guess I'm just curious how Ranch and Hellman's is bad, but butter is good? What is in it that you are avoiding? Sugar? Not grilling you or anything Serge, just genuinely curious.

    Man I love some Sweet Baby Ray's, but I recognize it's like 90% sugar.

    I need to eat healthier, so I'm open to learning something new.

    Huh???

    This APU is a two-shaft gas turbine engine, specifically designed for the Airbus A380 wide-body jet liner. During on-ground operation, it provides bleed air for cabin conditioning from a low spool-driven load compressor, main engine start capability, and electrical power from two gearbox-mounted, 120kVA generators.

    My neighbor owns a 2013 4.0 with 213,000 miles. I own a 2019 3.5 with 40,000.
    She needed me to pick it up and drive it to her home from having a brake job done on it. I have to be honest I liked the whole feel of the engine and transmission over my truck. It truly drove like it was brand new as well. She takes very good care of it.
