When I first started driving it was work. No power steering or brakes, 100 horse power with a three speed manual that wasn't easy to shift and steering that went in the right direction most of the time. Somewhere along the line all that went into the past and cars have become fun to drive. The...

EVs have existed for a century and a quarter. As always the problem is the batteries. The problem the batteries have is because they involved a chemical reaction, they are limited by the amount of active material in the battery. It will take a whole new approach to batteries for them to become...

My car synced up with my home network so far, I don't know of any updates. An internet connection is an internet connection whether it come off fiber, twisted pair or the cell network. TCP/IP is the heart of every data packet. There might be other layers but nothing moves on the internet without...

The dark horse only comes with tires that are not to be used when the temperature is less than 45 degrees. The tires don't grip the road and can self destruct in cold temperatures. It appears the performance package uses tires that they can't safely ship the cars with so they stop production...

Probably not. Look at your window sticker and see if it says under Functional "STRUT TWR BRACE W/BADGE". If it says that, it wasn't added by mistake. I might have to do with the Premium package but more likely it would be tied to a handling package.

Taillights are also subject to brightness limitations, but as they must be red in color, taillights rarely violate these limits. Just ensure that any custom, aftermarket taillights are DOT or SAE approved. Source

I think federal law only permits red showing on the rear of the car. it can't show on the front but white and amber are permitted.

It does that? The clutch on my old car always disengage the cruse control but I haven't tried it on this one. Normally I tap the brake to disengage the cruise control and let the engine slow me down before I use the clutch. That reduces brake wear and give the person in back of me time to...

The Japanese cars and trucks of the time were durable and better built. We had a blacksmith come out to shoe our horses and he had that little truck loaded down like it was much bigger. He said it was the best truck he ever owned. I have noticed the Fords I am getting now are solid. No rattles...

It should mean that but even from the start union management had to provide better working conditions and better pay. Granted some jobs were pretty bad and unions were needed to protect the members from mistreatment. In the private sector, often your job is tied to your performance. I knew if I...

I only post with a Mac desktop or laptop running 12.7.1 Safari. I have reach the end of life for the hardware and can't upgrade above Monterey. This year it was a new car. Probably next year I will be updating computers when the OS updates stop coming.

I have see the problem as well and when I think it happens, I make a copy of the post in my computer clipboard by highlighting the text and using COPY. I then refresh the page and check to see of the post was made. If not, I have the copy in my clipboard should I need to redo the post. When you...

Deal with privately owned transport services. They may not be passionate about the cars they haul even though some are worth over a million but they do care about their insurance rates. They document the car when they pick it up and note every scratch. If the customer finds any damage, the...

One owner, three people hit the back bumper but only one required a visit to the paint shop, about 180,000 miles, the factory paint showed a flaw at 50,000 miles possibly a dealer retouch. If I could have gotten thousands for it, I would have traded it but I think the dealer preferred it not be...

You really should avoid tempting me as you never know what I will come up with. For the record, I am a late boomer and the guy in the video is a Millennial. You've Gotta Love Millennials

Now we know what happened to your car. The rail line damaged the car and the truck hauler spotted it. The normal procedure is to get the rail to acknowledge the damage so the trucker's insurance doesn't pay the damage. Nobody at the rail yard would sign the paperwork so the trucker wouldn't...

Not really. My brother and sister had horses when we were growing up. I wasn't interested so I didn't get one. Still after they lost interest in moved away I sometimes ended up cleaning the exhaust products from the corral so you were careful not to do anything unexpected. Horses can be big...

Yesterday morning I had to be careful not to pop. It's horse country around here and somebody was riding on the side of the road. Some horses are rock solid but other are not and I didn't know which it was.

There are plenty of trucks out there but I am not sure about the type of car hauler that a manufacture would use. I know a car hauler and he is unable to get loads. As for other trucks, what they are paying for a load is so little that they can't make profit on a load so many are sitting it out...

Congratulations. You will see it soon.
