Checking on email. Worked late as I couldn't figure out what was wrong with a side project, only to have a project that I did work on not work (wrong part selected, plus another mistake). Will wind up vegging with the third Spiderman movie as we're going to go see the latest one on Friday as a...

I think I got 19mpg in my Tundra towing my popup camper and taking care to not drive over 65mph for the trip (trailer tires and all). My TDI of course got more (way more!) but that wasn't far from the best that I ever got from that truck. Want to say both the TDI and our current hybrid did/do...

When I bought our current house I emptied what I could into a 10x20 to stage our old house, then when bought the new one we got a hold-harmless agreement so I could fill the 2 bay garage with everything else. We seem to have, for some unknown reason, gained far more since then... and now need a...

So I think this is one of the dumbest ideas ever. I did a quick google and I'm not clear if this is beyond just an ad for the new Spiderman movie? I saw something about how it applies to BMW's made after 2020 (or maybe a particular OS after 2020, no idea as BMW isn't a brand I cross-shop)...

Hyundai is on the list? I guess I shouldn't be shocked that they figured out how to make an EV eat rod bearings.

The run-up is crazy. I remember feeling a bit miffed while watching the market climb before I could get in, back in the early 2000's.

I kinda don't care that the batteries are only "85% good" or whatever new. I should but I don't. My cars have those reduction geared starters and have found that a battery that would go dead if left sitting more than 3 days will reliably start if only left for 1 day. No reserve of course, and...

I think when the system rolled out they couldn't get the rear plate for... who knows what reason. Maybe they do get the rear plate and the front plate is required just for police and their purposes. Don't know, don't care, doesn't bother me to have both on a vehicle (and have been pulled over...

Single zone or two? I wonder if it's just really heat soaked. Taking a while to transfer enough heat out. I realize though that it didn't seem to do this in the past... but I wonder if it's worst case scenario. Recirculate is on, right? wondering if was on in the past but somehow isn't now...

They do have cameras (which is why we still have the front plate requirement) and I do know a few years ago I got a letter about how my transponder wasn't working. Go figure, something like 10 years had passed. New transponders and done. I think they do the same thing for people who don't...

All depends on if the car was still running, or if it had to be towed. Running? flush the fluids and move on. Towed? who knows if a short block is in stock these days.

Can they fire him or is there some thing that would prevent that? One would hope it would not come to that, but I could see it. Especially if costs a bit, and in a downturn, if his services are no longer all that necessary. It's an interesting question. I think our highway's in NH have been...

Looking up how long the new Spiderman movie is. 2hr 25min. Wife wants us to go see it as a family, which means I'm obligated... I actually would like to see it, but I'd rather see it at home. I just don't see how the experience is better in a theater. Maybe it'd finally be loud enough for me...

He mentioned driving through 6" of water in post 18,247. I was waiting for more about this too, saw the post, still waiting. [Mostly because it's something I'd do too.]

Not sure what it costs to fleabay it but perhaps you could just keep it up for sale indefinitely. Some museum or collector might some day want it.
