The batteries they are using seem to have sat around for a while. My drive home in rush hour traffic took over an hour and a half. Because people were reporting battery problems, I put it on a charger and it took about 5 more hours before the charger was satisfied the battery was charged. The...

I have had my car come loose on wet pavement and a little over correction could easily cause that type of dance. Fortunately it didn't happen till I had a good deal of driving experience so my reactions were to only make minimal corrections. Somebody new to driving and new to that type of horse...

I haven't tried making a call yet and probably won't but I had a incoming call and I answered it by hitting the OK button on the right side of the wheel. I didn't touch either the phone or the radio. I have a Dark Horse delivery two weeks ago and an iPhone. If you touch either the phone or the...

I have been rear ended several times and I use the Ford body shop at the dealer. They are more likely to use original Ford parts and the repairs are pretty good. I have had some minor hits were there wasn't any damage or the damage was minimal and the repair costs were surprisingly low. There...

He made the correct decision not repairing it. The engine picture shows the bar running between the shock towers is bent. To do that, the frame has to be bent as well. You can correct a little bend but I suspect they may need to apply a lot of correction. The driver may not have been injured but...

True but who is going to know the difference as long as I stay away from the track. For that matter the 96 was only about 210 HP and this car is light years ahead of it.

I haven't tried it on my car yet but I think you use the right OK button to accept and terminate a call. Last week I set the phone up on my moms edge and while it had phone buttons, the OK button was the simplest way to train my mom how to use it. She is pretty sharp but gadgets are her weakness...

For a while there were some issues with the Econo boost and it required 93 to run well. I am not sure what the current specifications are but the label on the fuel door of my Dark Horse says 87 is fine. My car will never see a track so I don't see a need to pay 50 cents a more for fuel that will...

If you're not racing, you shouldn't need it unless the car is marked otherwise. If you're racing, it would need to be added at least one fill up before a race session. It takes time for the computer to determine what fuel it's running and one tank should be enough. High octane fuel is only...

I didn't realize my car would come with a wireless charger so long before it arrived I went to Best Buy and purchased a USB charging cable to be kept in the car. I also have a 12 volt charger I used in the older car but I wasn't sure I would find a 12 volt outlet. I don't normally charge my...

That explains my 96 mustang. The tires need 30 pounds and they were inflated to 45 pounds. Shortly after receiving it I drove from Los Angles to Phoenix and it just about jarred the teeth out of my mouth. I figured it out before the return trip and the return trip was much smoother. I always...

We know a great knee doctor that just provided replacement parts for my roommate. A lot of rehab but now simple things like putting on shoes and stooping down have become painless. Replacement parts are for humans as well.

It could be to keep critters from making a home in your air intake. Here we don't have much of a problem with that however from what I understand wetter climates not only make homes in your car but try to live off the wiring.

It's difficult to say without looking at the underside. Normally you don't need to replace the drive shaft as the bearings can be easily replaced. Without looking, my guess would be a CV joint as they have a history of making noise like that when they fail. The brakes should be checked as well...

You might want to try sports mode steering. The power steering is pretty light at the factory setting and you might be used to something that offers a bit more resistance.

There is a lot that goes into those numbers. The torque curve, shift speed, number of gear changes, transmission ratios, road surface and most important driver skill. These are literally back of the envelop calculations (it was the first piece of paper at hand). The numbers say it could be done...

Page 96 in the PDF manual talks about moisture in the headlights. Possibly the result of the cold water you washed the car with. Not a problem here as during the summer the water can come out warm enough to comfortably shower with. In addition, our humidity can fall as low as 8%.

We know a trucker who hauls cars and we have car haulers on our property. They deal with brokers and try to arrange pickup and deliveries to reduce distance traveled. They haul for snow birds, sports figures and car shows meaning they could often unload all the cars in the phoenix area...

I have not stated if the OP is telling the truth or not because I didn't witness the event but I think it might have happened as stated. Let's start with some numbers. Say the car weighs 3,800 pounds The stated speed is 60 miles per hour. The power required to do this would be 172,2313 Watt...

My point is no lift isn't something new and scary. It's something that has always existed in automatics that was moved into manuals. Maybe I took the long way around to explain it.
