I have a 16 Kw Generac hard wired into my main electrical panel and it is fed from my propane tank. It self-tests for ten minutes every other week. I do get some power outages, the longest was about 24 hours but typically if the generator kicks in it is just for a few hours. So I maybe put 50...

Another vote for a Mityvac. I don't have shop air available so I bought the one with the manual pump handle. It's easy enough to use. My Jaguar is designed to have the oil extracted out the top through a coaxial tube in the center of the fill tube. And the filter is a top mounted canister type...

Business Insider has a decidedly left bent to it so it is no surprise that Elon was dismissive. We may not always like what Elon says, but if I had the kind of eff you money he has I'd be unfiltered too.

You can be sure that Elon has been mentoring at least a couple of "Mini Me's" to take over the helm in case anything happens to him or he decides to move on to other things.The general public just don't know who they are yet. I agree that Tesla needs a major refresh of their lineup. The Model...

Another dumb one that seems to have come into use in the not so distant past is when people ask a question and say "or no ?" when they mean "or not". An example being "are you going to the baseball game Saturday or no ?" When they should use "or not". I think dumb people hear another dumb person...

I know a few of you with EDS are gleeful reading stories like this. I guess you are unaware that we live in a time where lawfare and DEI judges and prosecutors and weasel lawyers are suing for anything and everything because they don't like the politics of an individual and see their power as a...

I live in the Southern California mountains, which as you might expect is a high fire danger zone. My home is only 5 years old. Most insurance companies won't even write a homeowners policy for my zip code. I had to go with the California Fair Plan program just for the fire insurance coverage...

Congratulations Mr. Keryk. We are all expecting your unbiased review including photos to show if the car has poor fit and finish, gaps in the body panels and a cheap interior as so many Tesla haters often claim. I'm like Cujet, I also own a Jaguar F Type. Mine is the R model with a supercharged...

Probably stolen by the same demographic that is stealing catalytic converters and stripping copper wire from streetlights or other sources. Funny how these types of crimes weren't that widespread and common about 10 or so years ago. I wonder what changed ? Well, I think most of us know.

Examples please ? I'm usually pretty immune to being hoodwinked but maybe I have missed something.

Tesla's management team and board of directors won't give a rat's rectum about losing their premium perception if and when the rumored $25k models comes out. Which will probably be closer to $30k due to the inflationary effect upon materials and labor over the last few years. Case in point: Did...

There are a lot of very wealthy and powerful people in the public eye that truly deserve any hate that is directed towards them. Like the people who are funding the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine and death to America demonstrations. Names like Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker. And look up who they...

Maybe all of those interns and engineers who don't want to work for Tesla will go to work for Ford and GM. And then maybe those two companies will be able to produce viable and profitable EV's. In the not so distant past, the best and the brightest engineers all wanted to work for Tesla and Ford...

My homeowners insurance TRIPLED last year and that doesn't even include the separate fire insurance policy that I had to buy through the California Fair Plan program. I just got my auto insurance renewal statement from the same company that I have "bundled" my H.O. insurance with. On the...

The wild card is and has continued to be gas prices and availability. Gas prices here in La La Land continue to be high, like around $4.50 a gallon for 87 octane if you shop around a bit or as much as $6.10 for 91 octane in the mountains where I live. And you can't swing a cat without seeing a...
