They're back and they're cool! I don't think it can fly, though, and it charges via electricity, not nectar from flowers and stuff.

I'm no expert but I like to buy stuff I like. I've only dabbled, but this has mostly got me good results. I bought Starbucks while it was down and then when they got their new CEO the stock basically doubled and I sold it. I bought Tesla a few weeks ago when it was down and then sold it at a...

Internet/phone providers are trying to get everyone off their old, expensive to maintain, and barely utilized copper networks and move everyones phone service to VoIP. That way they are only maintaining a single fiber-based network. Makes lots of sense. So, if you want a wired home phone for...

What!? If an engine needs STOP LEAK in there it's a BAD engine. That's absurd.

HP Enterprise/Aruba Instant On is the way to go IMO. Cloud managed so you can fix it from anywhere using the web app or app on your phone. No license fees or subscriptions of any kind. You can buy them used on eBay if you want to save a few bucks or buy them new online at like Provantage or...

Yeah I don't know about others but it seems Ford had issues with this in the 1.5/1.6/2.0 right? They had little slits for additional cooling between cylinders and that would eventually cause enough movement to cause the head gasket to fail. Eventually they redesigned it to have cross drilled...

I've never owned a flex fuel capable vehicle nor do I know anyone with a vehicle that can use it. Now I don't even buy gas at all. Seems pointless to continue making it/selling it tbh.

Don't hold your breath on parts prices, the auto parts store I work at had an announcement in our internal portal thingy to prepare for 100-400 price label changes per week for the next month or so. And that's just on stuff in the front of the store like chemicals and product... I don't have to...

I went with my aunt to buy a new Prius last Wednesday. The only thing the sales dude talked about the entire time was how it's good we're buying a car TODAY because TARIFFS on all the ones that are coming in that aren't on the lot yet. While it was likely a steaming pile of BS, most people will...

I work at an auto parts store and lots of customers ask me about these insane mileage claims on the labels of oils now. This has been a topic since the whole "Mobil1 Anuual Protection" came out and that's when it seemed all these oils started getting big mileage numbers on the front. And each...

I think it's a wise choice to use dollies. AWD is very common. Electric parking brakes are very common. I think if you look in the owners manual for most vehicles made in the past decade, they will all say they need to be towed with all wheels off the ground. I know my 2015 Volt, 2017 Bolt, and...

Thank you all for your input and thoughts on this one. I do think it's interesting some people find under 140K miles to be a reasonable lifespan for an engine on a modern vehicle, while others agree with me that it should have lasted a lot longer, especially as it was properly maintained since...

Just recently here in Napa a mom DUI crashed killing a kid. Sad stuff. Not OK!

I’d go for a Bolt over a Leaf.

I’m not a fan, and they put too little cheese. BUT the new stuffed cheese crust is quite yummy! And can be reasonably priced if you use a coupon.

Yeah it’s burned oil since day one but not enough they’d do anything about it. It’s a shame that these vehicles are junk at what I consider fairly low mileage. I’ve had so many older, high-mileage American vehicles and NEVER had any major engine issues. I did manage to blow a head gasket on an...

Absolutely ridiculous. My aunt has a 2015 Impreza 2.0. Hatchback manual. She bought it brand new and had every recommended service performed at the dealer since day one. Yesterday she calls me to let me know the car had been sounding a little noisier and rougher for the past week so she took it...

Huh?

I think one issue with Tesla is they don’t have anything mainstream looks like a traditional SUV. Which is literally the biggest volume segment in the US. I hear time and time again that the Model Y is “not an SUV just a slightly bigger Model 3” and the Model X is in the same boat just compared...

I had that 2.5 in an Escape. It wasn’t great on MPG but I imagine it would be plenty fun in something light like the Miata and it was a very reliable engine. Never had any issues except a leaking valve cover gasket at like 130k miles lol.
