Spool down or cool down?

As long as I can remember when I put my vehicle in park I turn all the accessories off before I shut the engine off. Thinking has always been it probably isn't the best for the AC compressor and/or the blower motor to come on hard from a dead stop. Radio too because I like to hear the start-up...

There was a Mercedes EQE 320 like this parked in the neighborhood the other day. From the base of the windshield back a nice 4 door coupe shape. The pic doesn't show how odd the slope of the hood is to the low grill that looks like see-through Lexan with a grill pattern behind it. No Mercedes...

I meant the guys you just told the story to!

Were they impressed or give you the side-eye whatever look?

Peechee must be a Cali thing never heard of them in backwoods Pa.

Is the noise a car makes important to the driver or does he want the fastest car? It was more fun to watch and I'll bet drive when it was dirt.

I'm thankful I can buy the tires that say Cooper/Goodyear on them.

They both have about a billion different things for sale at any given time. And tens of thousands or more of sellers, no possible way to validate everything. Shame on buyers not being educated on commonly faked items. And trusting totally unknown sellers on Ebay. Fake Nikes falling apart is...

If you want to make the move to an EV you'll make it work. Sounds like Buster is ready. @buster, just don't decide to tour backroads West Virginia or the middle of nowhere Arizona on 10% charge. Or 1/8 tank of gas for that matter. ;) If any vehicle is good for 95% of your use case you should...

2 different issues, more info needed. Steering wheel shakes sitting still at idle or while driving? You can count how many shifts you get and decide if you're not getting all the gears. Did everything start at once?

Pretty sure Jeff didn't take that photo, look at the license plate.

Around $2200 for the 100k service. Bet she didn't expect that. Some will say that's only .02c and while true nobody puts change in a jar as they go to cover it. Plus who knows the cost of recommended services?

I bought the ANCEL a couple of months ago on BITOG recommendations. The numbers it generated were very close to what the Batteries Plus tester and a parts store tester showed. Be aware it's very sensitive to a good solid contact of the clip on the battery terminal.

Know nothing about this business but they have extensions for larger tires...
