Four cylinder Honda cranking sluggishly even on a new battery? I'd change the starter. Especially if it's the original at over 300K miles. Try to aim for a NEW one, not rebuilt.

Two things here amaze me... 1. That the Model Y is #2 (and was formerly #1) in the WORLD. That a car from a company that became mainstream less than a decade ago is literally one of the most popular cars in the world. Oh and it happens to be FULLY ELECTRIC. 2. That the F-150 is within the top...

I thought about it haha but didn’t end up bothering to try that.

Yeah when I got the Bolt they tried to sell me catalytic converter protection. And when I got the Prologue they told me it includes one free oil change. They have no clue what they’re doing.

Nissan caters to buyers that either can’t get financed elsewhere, or those that sort by lowest price. Those buyers don’t expect much. But, when someone is buying a $50K+ vehicle like a Titan or Armada they expect a better experience. And this is where they fall short. I’d say most car dealers...

Someone bumped into your car and now you have to sell it? I’m confused.

Maybe in 2 years when my lease is up my next Tesla will show up at my door! Super impressive!

Yeah, a few years back I caught someone returning some fake Denso Iridiums. They bought the real ones from us, the cheap ones off eBay or something, presumably put the real ones in their car, and tried to bring back the fake ones for a refund. But they were very obviously fake. I know they did...

Why would you use copper plugs in 2025? Iridium might cost 3x as much but it also lasts 3x as long lol. And while I’ve never changed plugs on a Hemi, I can’t imagine it being fun given there are 16 of them!

It’s really sad what the Escape has become. I had a 2008 for a short time and a 2010 for quite a well and they were VERY good vehicles. I would take an Escape over a RAV4 or CR-V of those generations for sure. Then the 3rd gen Escape was apparently kinda unreliable overall. By the time the 4th...

Sorry I meant 100 degrees. Although yes quite a bit of the day may or may not theoretically have been with the “speed limited to 101mph” displayed on the dash. We timed it pretty well!

Yeah then who cares haha.

This is tangentially related, kinda sorta not really, but I'm gonna type it anyway... So, the parts store I work at started selling OEM filters for Honda, Nissan, Toyota, HyunKia, a few years ago. In addition to the ACDelco, Motorcraft, and Mopar filters we already had. They are SUPER popular...

I may be biased as an EV owner.... oh wait, I don't care where you park. As long as you aren't taking up a charger, I think "clean air vehicle" parking (not in front of a charger) is super dumb. If there isn't a charger there, feel free to park there, It's none of my business. If you are taking...

When I drove my 2015 Volt to LA and back (in one day) it was over 100mph most of the day. Nothing unusual but when we stopped for gas and at our destination I left the car on. The cooling system was running full blast the entire time, but nothing else worth noting. I’ve had various full EVs...

Start stop is annoying AF… but that’s not the worst failure mode. You might get a few honks in the 10 seconds it takes to do that but it’s not really dangerous.

So basically PG&E is buying electricity from @JeffKeryk at $0.35/kwh and shipping it to me and selling it to me for $0.60/kwh. I think I’m gonna spend $50,000 on a pallet of those power bank things at Costco and start filling them up myself!

Despite having owned a bunch of 90s GM trucks I never have had to replace a fuel pump on any vehicle in my life. I was curious and just gave AutoZone a call to see how much fuel pumps were for our cars. Apparently neither a 2025 Model 3 or a 2025 Equinox EV have fuel pumps. Who would have...

$185/mo in California. Tesla Insurance. Hope I never need to use it, I had a question about my policy and was on hold for three hours. Gave up.

Bringing the Hemi back seems absurd to me. I could see doing it to get some cheaper trucks on the road but at a higher price than the already expensive turbo-6 version? Nah. Every review of the Hurricane engine I’ve ever seen or heard of praised it for nice performance, torque down low, plenty...
