    Does anyone here without a garage use a pop-up canopy tent?

    Do I count if I have a garage and still use the popup tent? Garage is too full to fit anything in

    Best/Worst A/C Performance in a car?

    I had a 2018 Forester that went back to the dealer 7 times under warranty for the AC failing. Even when it worked, it wasn't great. A long time ago when mine had AC in it, I was rock crawling in PA and it was 95 degrees out. My friend and I were DYING inside. Then I remembered about 5 hours...

    Latest budget makes interest on American made cars fully deductible.

    When I bought the Forester back in 2017, I wasn't planning on financing but my credit was good enough to qualify for 0% interest and an additional $1200 discount for using Subaru's finance. No finance charges, etc.

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    98-02 don't have FPDM because they have the return style fuel system with a vacuum regulator. Those showed up in 04 or 05 I believe.

    Latest budget makes interest on American made cars fully deductible.

    There's a lot of uninformed people who will now go out and finance American made vehicles for long terms. The banks ad the auto makers win on this one.

    Average car Overfilled 1 qt. anyone ever see this cause a problem?

    I had my Focus overfilled significantly when I first bought it. I would check the oil and it would read below add, so I'd add some in then recheck and it was good. Then the next time I'd check same thing. It wasn't until I drained out a LOT of oil that I realized I had to pull the dipstick...

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    During the 'vid, Ford dropped OEM support for a lot of their older vehicles. For being the same basic car from 1992-2011, Ford had so many single year changes to the platform that it just made sense to get rid of everything

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    Well, this is frustrating. Last month I put a new fuel pump in the Grand Marquis. It started to have some issues that pointed to the fuel pump. Changed the fuel pump with what I thought was the best one I could get. Car runs great. I think I've put 1200 miles on it since then. Yesterday ...

    Federal EV tax credit set to end completely September 30th

    Not great to me. 😛 Those are the worst at wannabe spaceships. Maybe if they came out with Tesla Versa or something then I'd be interested! I've asked AI for some help ... Tesla model 1? I know they are working on a model 2 but it's going to be a spaceship. Mayyyyyyyyybe it doesn't need a...

    Federal EV tax credit set to end completely September 30th

    My issue with most EVs and even the original Bolt is they want to be spaceships. At least the original bolt was reasonable priced for what you get. I just want a normal car with electric powertrain. Hyundai/Kia ones that share platforms with IC engined vehicles seem to be the closest to that...

    '96 Dodge B3500 ... Any Idea What This Button Does?

    It does prevent the use of 4th gear. You get 1, 2, 3 and torque converter lockup. Doesn't change the shift points at all on anything I've driven. Maybe on a GM. But I know Ford and Chrysler products don't change shift points when OD is locked out. The older 4 speed automatics were kinda dumb...

    It's not going to be as good of a value as the original Bolt.

    Federal EV tax credit set to end completely September 30th

    I wish American companies made reasonable EVs. GM made one and killed it. Kia/Hyundai EVs were a possibility in the next year or two for me. Unlikely at this point.

    Dining late evening/early morning at 24 hour restaurants?

    Oh man ... have some interesting memories of the Denny's in the city near where I grew up. Went through a phase after college where I did a lot of bar hopping. The group I ran with liked to party it up. Friday and Saturday nights we'd be out until closing time then go to the 24 hour Denny's and...

    Kohler Command SP 27

    I'm running supertech synthetic 15w-40 in my Kohler command v-twin. A lot of people say nothing heavier than a 30 grade due to it having hydraulic lifters.

    2011 Camry Drain Plug too tight! Dang you Toyota.

    The filter was so tight on my Focus for the first oil change that I was thinking I was going to have to unbolt the oil filter housing from the block and buy a new one.

    Nissan latest - Asking suppliers to pause payments..

    I'll buy one used but not new if the manufacturer is having such major financial problems. That just means that they will give me the runaround when there's an issue.
