Both the 335i and LS430 are 18.5 and 19.5 years old respectively, and both are freezing when using the AC over a 1 hour commute. Measured temps are around 43F out the vents when "freezing." The 13 year old Buick Enclave, which I attempted to recharge myself, was not that cold. Doing the same...

I'm salaried but I am for that. First of all, there was always a myth, "I don't want to work overtime, it all goes to taxes." If you can believe it, some people say the same about their annual bonus. Would it be better to not get that bonus? The reality is, taxes are reconciled every year...

Life creates many awkward scenarios. When I park at the gym, I park at a curbed spot near a trail. Sometimes, I come back to my car, and there are 20+ women standing around it. So I just say good morning, I need to back out. Usually they are nice and will move out of the way. There was one...

Is this like when people order the max and advanced trailering packages, don't own a trailer, and use hitch view to align the bike rack (our Tahoe order). To contrast, in Oct 2006 when I ordered the 2007 BMW, I kept it to functional options. Sport package (gave staggered tires, sport seats...

Seriously, would that reward GM for their decision to continue with normally aspirated V8's, when others went turbo V6 and I6? (again DFM and 6.2 are totally separate discussions)

I've seen dealers in Dallas, Chicago, and WI, showing discounts of $5k+ online. Posting on a forum, someone responded I know the dealer you are mentioning as I live here. They have tons of dealer add ons. Also, I saw one dealer add some odd term I wasn't familiar with that equaled the large...

And our family is exercising that! We chose gas, 6.2 liters, V8, 14 mpg, and premium unleaded (DFM, L87 are separate topics in themselves). I’m not wanting to consume fuel for the sake of consumption. I’ve said ever since I joined this forum I want to get a normally aspirated V8 before...

I asked my buddy years ago. What happened to the Caprices? One day they are all over as taxicabs and cop cars. It’s as if overnight, they were gone. We rented a 1993 and went on a 1300 mile road trip. It had 8 miles when we got it and the wheel covers were stolen in Montreal. Figuring my...

You have a German car, so you can distinguish between OE, OEM, and aftermarket. I've pointed it out before, this forum tends to use the term OEM when they mean original equipment, which is in the auto industry, OE. Since the vehicle is not brand new, imho OE and OEM will be fine. I'd skip...

less effective as oil whipped. best to drain some out imho

Higher toll rate with a tag is doable, it's already done now. Another column could be added on the right for EVs. What would likely be dicey is EV car owners could simply use a normal tag and pay normal rates as a result. So we're back to the registration and recognizing that a vehicle is an EV.

I would love me a LT1 ‘96 Roadmaster wagon, or sedan.

It’s a bit sad but I would say GMC is over 100k, and Chevy generally in the low 90s. We are talking about the higher level trim. The Tahoe equivalents. Two options that will take a Chevy into six figures are the performance intake and exhaust, and Brembo brakes. Now Tahoes are 103k. What is...

Something someone pointed out to me from experience, when one uses the third row, a Suburban has a distinct advantage over a Tahoe (still have over 40 cu ft when Tahoe is 25’ish…technically speaking since most have captain’s chairs in the back, any family of 5 and more likely does use the 3rd row….

It is rather unique to buy something with cash and to be reprimanded 😂 For example, why would anyone have cash when it’s only earning 3.6%? Putting the funds in the stock market makes way more then 4.09% which is a car loan at our CU today. I don’t do that because it’s leverage. Just like I...

My dad got a Kubota when I was around 12. Diesel 8 speed manual. He really did have a “Green Acres” mid life crisis. I looked it up years ago and I think the tractor is equivalent to around $35k today (not like the pic but not nothing). I actually loved driving it and plowed snow to make money.

We went with the ‘25 Tahoe, as Suburban is too large for us and not needed, but we wanted to have the same as the Buick Enclave or more. The 2016-2020 Tahoe/Suburbans have significantly less cargo than 2021+, which got independent rears…

Don’t mid life crises often get resolved by wine women and song? How about one of the 2025 Corvette Z06’s which are now in stock AND discounted? These were $75k over list during the pandemic. I heard yesterday that Foreigner “4” is being rereleased with new cuts and Lou Gramm doing stuff...

It’s clearly the Suburban, not close. Has about 15 cu ft over the Wagoneer L. Wagoneer L about 7 over a Tahoe. Wagoneer 6 less than a Tahoe. For those trying to put the numbers in perspective, my LS430 trunk is 20 cu ft. Imagine having or not having that. It’s the space a large dog can...

For whatever reason I care greatly about cargo space. Our barometer is the 2011 Enclave that we had--we typically did not use the 3rd row, so we drove around 70% of the time with the 3rd row down, providing 66 cu ft. That is in the range of a CR-V and all the euro SUVs with 2nd row folded. A...
