    Mexican cars

    Ram 700? I kind of really want one, but it would violate my “Do NOT buy a Chrysler that comes standard with a 4 banger” rule 😅 Edit: they’re sub 100hp! 84-98 and that’s it! Or maybe a 1200?

    123 Distributor

    Assuming the app works properly, it’s a great idea imo!

    Ram/Stellantis to announce 10 year/100.000 mile powertrain warranty for 2026 model year.

    I always did find it odd they’d warranty a new car for 5/60k but their CPO vehicles are warrantied for 7/100k.

    Another electric car almost out of power.

    When my dad was daily driving a truck he REFUSED to fill it up. He’d go to the low fuel light came on, then he’d fill it up half way. He said he didn’t want to know how much money it was drinking… so it’s not always logical thought behind it, though he never did run out of gas 🤷🏻‍♂️ I am the...

    HVAC Woes

    $2200 what a friggin joke. If you have high humidity your AC will have to “work harder” to overcome it, which could manifest as a lower temp split…. It’s using a bit more energy to pull moisture out of the air than it is cooling the air basically.

    Water heater advice

    The more I read about tankless the bigger a nightmare they seemed for anyone with less than perfect water… and my water has enough iron in it to refine into steel. Plus I refuse to have a water heater controlled by a computer.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    I like Kelsey from 74 Gear, while he does wear his uniform it’s not like a “look at me!” thing, it’s usually in his hotel room, and he covers it up when he’s going to and through the airport.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Honestly, it’s not horrific. My truck is louder with its flowmaster 40 series and factory resonator lol…. I’m going to give it a side exit exhaust!

    Best White Colored Bulb that's not brighter than factory?

    Diode won’t risk their reputation on garbage, hence the warranty you can actually use. I had a pair of PSX24W (what a dumb, absolutely useless bulb) leds in my fog lights on my Durango for almost 5 years before I sold it. Never once had a problem, even getting blasted by road grime and water...

    Best White Colored Bulb that's not brighter than factory?

    Diode dynamics is what you want. Been running a lightbar from them for a few years now, haven’t touched it since install. 194 is the same as T10 basically. These are $10/pair, pick the color you want, and they’ll be about the same brightness as the factory bulbs...

    2025 CX-5 rental review

    More gears means you don’t need as big of a jump to vary speed. The 4l60 and 545/65RFE has ruined sub 8 speed transmissions for me.

    Solar eating its own lunch in ERCOT

    Meta is also partnering with Constellation energy to not only purchase nuclear power but expand a plant in Illinois by 30MW. Amazon and Google are also investing in “small nuclear reactors” for their data centers.

    What’s your mileage limit for buying a used car?

    That’s worse than my cobalt! But the cobalt has no sound from the speakers so there’s that… the factory harness is still intact thankfully, they got one of those adapter harnesses. 50k miles give or take a handful is my limit. Unless it’s a work beater then who cares.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Hood latch is broken, enter Christmas Cobalt! I am having way more fun with this thing than I probably should. Edit: If this fails before I get hood pins, it ain’t gonna have an hood.

    Choosing a Generator

    FWIW, my ~2017’ish French door Whirlpool does just fine on it. The 1980’s(?) deep freezer couldn’t care less. I say they don’t like it, they just make the LED bulbs flicker while the generator stabilizes, which happens kind of often as the dehumidifier cycles the compressor on and off. They run...

    Choosing a Generator

    My Briggs 6250w is capable of running my whole house, including the AC and well pump simultaneously when hooked up via 240v. But it’s LOUD and the dehumidifier and microwave don’t like running off it.

    Financial graphic comparison of buying a new or used car

    Machinists are the same exact way. I do not understand how half these guys are borderline begging for change, I know what they make and how much they work.

    Dealer add on prices.

    “Honey I ordered a bunch of pavers, will you pick those up for me on your way home?” Or my personal favorite: “Hey wake up (I work nights)! I found *THING* on FB marketplace for free but we gotta go now and it won’t fit in my van.”

    Wives+yard work=no planning, and also part of why I bought a truck.
