A few days ago, my wife and I were leaving T.G.I. Fridays, and there was a Subaru of some kind all decked out with pink accessories. The mirrors, bumpers, stripping, etc. On the back window, there was a large decal that said ”cancer survivor.” Great to see the owner has a great attitude and is...
Yup! Once I had an 8' 2x4 go through a windshield while I was doing 70 on a highway. It fell off a truck in the right lane, landed on its end, and bounced probably 15' in the air and then came through my windshield while I was driving in the left lane! Needless to say, that hole couldn't be...
I think trying to fix a crack is a crap shoot. If it is very small, it may work, but if there is any striation, it will eventually spread. There is a lot of pressure at highway speeds, not to mention possible flexing of the glass during cornering. I have had a few windshields replaced in my 60...
My '24 has the red seats with black trim, and I don't find they make much of a difference. Other than I get a lot of compliments! If you get the gray seats, they will be no worse than most other colors. As mentioned earlier, you can use the cooled seats, and that pretty much eliminates any...
It isn't common here either, but coming around a blind turn and Daisy Mae is meandering along at 3 mph will test your brake reaction time! It only happened to me once, but I don't want it to happen again! I've had cattle crossing roads before, but usually there is plenty of time to slow down. Glenn
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there are a lot of small back roads in PA. Besides worrying about other vehicles coming at you on narrow roads, you have to hope there aren't any cows around the corner. I love driving on those twisty roads! This car was built for that! Straight-ahead speed can...
As you've mentioned, it is usually a variable speed thing. Roads today are often crowded with all sorts of drivers. On longer trips on interstates, I am often using active cruise. If not very crowded, I just stay out of the way of idiots. If I need to pass, I just drop a gear or two and punch...
I have a few of those but not as wild as yours. There are many small back roads in PA. This is a road trip I took a couple of weeks ago. Great when the leaves are changing. It's approximately 4 hours, but it is a complete circuit with almost every type of driving you could want. I have to say I...
Wait a minute! I'm allowed to drive under 75 on a highway with the top up? Now I know what's wrong! Thanks, but I'm probably not going to do that! So I will live with the low mileage! Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. Glenn
I drove more than 1,000 miles to Canada and back, and I got like 17.5. Since I got home, it has dropped to 17.1. Not that I care, but it seems low compared to many others. I guess I will have to keep driving to see if it gets better. 🤟 Glenn
I've had problems with red cars in the past. Once driving home from Canada, I was pulled over three times in my Supra. I talked my way out of all three tickets. :handsinair: And once I was picked out of a pack of cars. The car wasn't red, but out of 8-10 cars, the cop picked me. I asked him why...
I agree! Highway speeds, I have the top down, windows up, and A/C going. The only change I make is the temperature of the A/C. No real buffeting problem, but plenty of wind! Glenn
Yeah, my recall was hidden away in the app. No other notification. But it is Ford, so...
In my previous post to snodge I said.
I saw it in the app first but the next day received the notice in the mail. Glenn
I had my Stang in today because my right rear window wasn't closing entirely. I spoke to the service manager about the BCM recall and I told him if I do it it won't be until the Spring at the earliest. He said that's fine and just let them know when I'm ready. They told me that they have done...
