I’ve been leasing Renault’s for years. Yes, brand new car My name, my USA address. All insurance included. No VAT taxes. After my lease, I sign car back to them and they then sell it as a used car. I’ve done it six times. Never a problem. I always said that I would not want to drive my own...

When we say “Cash”, we don’t mean CASH. We mean Check or certified check, from your checking account.

Cash. That being said, sometimes dealers want to jack up price if you don’t finance with dealer. I usually tell them to go pound salt, and find a dealer elsewhere.

Why do we in this country use 110/120 volt 60 cycle (hertz) and all Europe uses 220/240 volt 50 cycle (hertz) power? I don’t know. Just asking.

Some 2015 and all 2016 and later cars come with R1234yf (vice the earlier R134a). When I first started using R1234yf cars, I was skeptical that it would cool as well as R134a or R12. It cools GREAT.

I had been having problems with people phoning me but my phone not ringing. Then if they phoned back within three minutes, my phone would ring. Found the fix by accident. I have an iPhone SE (second generation). My phone is now set as follows. Go to “Do Not Disturb” and switch off. Down...

I also quit COLD TURKEY many years ago. Got up one morning and said to myself, “I don’t smoke while I’m sleeping, so, so I have an eight hour head start”. People need a good reason to quit, and your health is NOT A GOOD REASON. (I’m not going to get sick, it’s the other guy who will get sick)...

I’ve had nothing but GOOD on my two Sonatas and my Cadenza. Presently looking for an additional Cadenza.

Before Covid, I traveled to France often. I know many people who have large space heaters that heat the whole house. They use what they call MAZUT. It is a heavy oil similar to what we would call Heating Oil. Very slightly more viscous than heating oil here in the USA. Don’t know if Russian...

Had that on two different cars. Go the do it yourself Prestone at Advance Auto. $15. Fixed one so you can’t even see it. Fixed other car, not perfect, but you can only see it if you know where to look. Warning. Follow instructions EXACTLY, even if it sounds wrong. If chip is in center of...

I love you guys with three ton vehicle worrying about fuel economy. Get rid of the SUV or Pickup, and get a smaller car. Regular in my area now $2.899 cheap. Possible $4.00 by mid summer.

USPS Even Worse.

If you ever watch the “Tour de France” you will see lots of them as support vehicles. I watch the Tour de France not for the bicycle racing, but for the beautiful support European cars and motorcycles. (Also for the beautiful French countryside).

Passed my local Buick/GMC Dealer today. Very few cars on his lot. Why? Only answer I get from sales person is that they sell a lot of cars. I know he is not truthful (puffing). Ford dealer across the street Also low on cars Is it something to do with parts or chip shortage? Kia and...
