    Tesla AutoPilot runs over and kills motorcycle rider

    The problem with these new car technologies is that they are making many people even worse drivers. Cell phone use while driving could be easily disabled in software on modern phones if legislators had the will to do it. What you can't mandate is for the driver to be engaged in the driving...

    Consumer Reports Ranking on 10 year maintenance costs...

    The problem with consumer reporting is that perception becomes reality. If someone believes a brand costs less in maintenance, that's what they will report. A good example in the past was the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix. The Matrix scored a bit higher on customer satisfaction...

    Fuel Pump for my 2001 F-350

    I would replace it. My 2003 F150 fuel pump started going bad last year. I removed the bed, and it was quite easy to replace with it off. I did replace it with a Motorcraft one. I also replaced some of the hoses and the rear shocks while I was at it.

    Unfortunately, most articles are AI written BS now unless it's coming from a trusted source.

    Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) hit by Cargo Ship and Collapsed

    That's a big bridge. I wonder if this was intentional.

    Harbor Freight... American Made, Lifetime Warranty

    I wonder who is making that for Harbor Freight. I know they are selling a few prybars made by Mayhew, which are also made in USA. Also I believe 1 of their sets of snap ring pliers is made by Lang. I have the Snap-on one and I will pick one of these up to compare as soon as they have a coupon.

    NASCAR Bristol Tire Conservation Race

    I'm happy to see a short track have an interesting racing for a change. The latest car has been terrible on short tracks, which is hard to fathom. I'm not a huge fan anymore. What really brought me back to watching a few races was the resurrection of North Wilkesboro.

    Why I won't be using Rain-X All-Season washer fluid anymore

    Never used this stuff but I go through so very little washer fluid that I would probably get deposits also. Good to know.

    Maintenance 95 Nissan Pickup

    I don't know a lot about the KA24E, but my KA24DE engine has over 300k, with very little issues. Factory service interval on oil change is 7500, but I never let it go that far.

    If you had the means to move anywhere in the US today where would that be?

    I guess I can honestly say that I live exactly where I want. If I had more money, the only thing I would consider would be a living on a different piece of property close to where I live now.

    No good deed goes unpunished.

    I hate it for you. We recently had a steer tire explode on one of our trucks and it definitely was not a retread. It did quite a bit of damage to the fender and even the driver side step. They are running quite a bit of pressure, between 110-130 PSI depending on the steer.

    Traveling and can't always fill up with Top Tier Fuel

    I would do Techron every so often if you are worried about it. I'm not sure what you guys mean by Top Tier marketing. I bet I could ask 100 people and not 1 would know what TT gas even is. Heck, the gas station I use regularly is an Exxon station and they have no stickers on the pumps...
