I think I understand the issue when using a regular floor jack, but I use a Harbor Freight motorcycle jack with large rubber rails. As a result, I don't see the need for jack spots or vehicle-mounted rails? Have I missed something?

I have a 2024 Eco-Boost premium, and in Sports Mode you can program it to stay off. In track and drag mode it is always off. I wonder about the programming in my Ranger. I have the Ford tune, so in Sports Mode It is always off. Before the tune was installed, it didn't work. Then after about a...

I've always wondered why folks buy convertibles? So, I bought one in 1993. That rag top leaked like a sieve (hence the name), didn't look good up, and was darn noisy! No roll bar in case of a crash, and 20% higher insurance! To each his own!

Screw on caps get forgotten atop gas pumps to this day! Tethers always fail, and then you too leave it on the pump. The locking ones are nice, but once you're at the pump and you can't find the key, you'll toss it! Be happy, don't worry.

Isn't dealer rivalry Wonderfull? Not! I've had that happen too many times.

You can always hire a sign painter.

Mine's off, but I still get the warning once in a while. It is sort of a wife who want to make sure you're listening! Now if I could only get it to make me have an.....

Good for you! You mentioned ear pain... I wonder how bad some hot rodders' hearing is? Or should I say was!

Look at this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3531357/ A few paragraphs down, it mentions Australia and its noise issues. And truthfully, all major cities in the US have the same noise issue. In most, exurban area noise levels are up too. Before you complain about the authorities...

The title says it all. As for me, all I want is to be your retailer!

Let us strive to keep statistics in line. Chile has over three times the lithium reserves than China. Add in Argentina, and it is closer to 6 times. Remember too, China doesn't care if they dig up their landscape, most other countries do.

Since the beginning of powered vehicles, all of them depreciate, at least most of the time. A Bugatti Royal and a few dozen other exotic vehicles from the past are exceptions. And, as I said before, low volume vehicles are occasionally exceptions. In the end, we ALL know the story of...

A thought just entered my head, which might not be a good idea! Nonetheless, I wonder if folks who over indulge in pampering their vehicles, also pamper their significant others the same way? I ask this, because the divorce rate is creeping ever higher!

As I sort of alluded to, the big stuff is still going to get you. Way back, I bought a 1998 Mercury Mystique Sport with the HO V6 and 5 speed (yes I can drive one!). The next day, the wife and I go to a friend's house for dinner, and on the way, the wind blew a fairly large rock off one of the...

If it were an Eco-Boost, you might have gotten a bit better price as they make a good graduation vehicle. Doesn't matter, depreciation is the key word here, and it isn't COVID 2020!

Okay, you want me to focus. Your words "While PPF and ceramic have their positive virtues, they have their limitations." (emphases mine) The question is, what are you trying to protect? Your vehicle or your pride? If it is your vehicle, the coating adds a wee bit of protection from tiny little...

With the aforementioned 'The Drive' article in mind, I remember what Sean Hannity said at the Fox Patriot Awards about shifting. If you don't remember, here is the link: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6365608573112

I suspect it depends on where you live. Here in Roswell, NM loud exhaust citations are few and far between, until some one complains. If it does result in a citation, the first is a mere $50. Second, the same. Third? $250!

I can imagine it now. About 100 year ago, you didn't have a choice of roads. Then about 75 years ago, along came the interstates. About 50 years ago, the monies to keep roads smooth went into fighting people instead of pot holes. In the last 25 years, things have just gotten worse, and...

Must be single. I say this, because it appears he has a spare bedroom to layout the parts. I don't know of any wife who would allow that!
