OK?

A year ago, self-hosted AI needed so much hand holding and made tons of mistakes that it was practically useless. Now, I vibe-coded an entire PHP-based content management system in a few hours using Qwen3.6 running on my AMD R9700s. On a self-hosted AI server management/dashboard thing that I...

Oh, you mean the Civic hybrid but $20K more? The two best modern Hondas are the Prologue which is not a Honda and the Passport which doesn't sell too well because it gets poor MPG. The CR-V hybrid is also pretty good IMO, I'd pick it over the RAV4, but the lack of a PHEV option is a loser.

So, the fact that GMs with EPB can’t be set to always engage the parking brake instead of just on an incline drives me nuts. My Tesla doesn’t count but anytime I drive anything else I always set the parking brake. When I had the Prologue and when I’ve driven the Equinox EV I always press the...

That’s bit me a few times when driving other cars. I got very used to that. The EqEV does have something similar as it doesn’t have a power button but I don’t think it auto locks? Don’t remember, only driven it like a dozen times. I left one of the work vehicles running for hours (I don’t...

That’s an interesting conclusion.

Toyota interior packaging is weird AF across most of their SUV lineup. 4Runners are pretty big on the outside but feel cramped inside.

I'm not familiar with every make and model but most GMs come with AGMs under the hood from the factory. Bolt, Equinox EV, Blazer EV/Honda Prologue, full-size GM trucks and SUVs, etc.

Regardless of being a GM fanboy I do appreciate the time you took to review the vehicle and your opinion is valuable data. I think a two year old used Escape hybrid or PHEV is a better buy than the Trax. If the Trax had a hybrid option either standard or for an extra $2K... it would be a...

I did not like my 2026 Jetta rental car at all!

That’s like saying people get in car crashes every day, so why bother wearing your seatbelt?

An automotive AC experiences MUCH harsher conditions. So far EV AC systems have proven to be good.

now ask does it smell like Maxlife atf or Supertech?

The the OEM at scale if they save $10 per battery it’s a no-brainer. Aftermarket is a different discussion

I’ll be honest I think EFB is just a way for car companies to save money it’s not better than AGM. But if I’m wrong I’m OK with that.
