False, EV owners already pay more the 19 cents tax and in the future will have to pay until it hurts. Our ACTUAL federal road expenditures are only about 6% paid for by private cars based on the reality of collections versus the size of the shortfall and this has been the case for at least 20...

Which is the same as avoiding absolutely nothing as I will show later as that 18 cents basically doesn’t pay any significant portion of fed road funding. Also Oddly the Fed does get an excise tax on rubber tires, specifically ones that are weight rated to only affect EVs, pickups, and hd didn’t...

They all rust

They do but slow and very clunky, still stuck checking an odd dozen areas. A feature I used to use was the ability of cars to combine any set of vehicle brands/models into one search, (along with setting the price range to anything) when I’m cross shopping that sped things up, now both are...

The cars I’m looking at are relatively “cheap” even when they are overpriced. I have no interest in reselling. Right now I’m looking at 1st gen Toyota RAV4’s (1999) and very specific Subarus. I’ve found rust vrs sun damage is good enough in the Carolinas, Arizona cars all have severe...

Over the years, There have been multiple vehicle meta search sites that consolidate for sale ads across various platforms, locations, etc with minimal parameters. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/best-states-for-rust-free-fly-and-drive-cars/87920/page1/ But none that simplify...

I rather use SR because racecar Which already has oil related connotations , maybe skip straight to TB

Even better, still not di

Chevys 2.2 found in Cobalt’s were “mostly reliable “ if you kept up on timing chains. Quite a few in the 400,000 and 500,000 mile marks despite the bad reputation early on. Move past 2010 to the 2.4 with DI and a few minor changes to enhance power and most are garbage instead of most being ok...

All I would like to see are extremely reliable engines, I could care less about power and small fractional improvements in fuel economy. My wish of coarse won’t happen.

20 years ago our feed mills had a cheap blender pump out front that offered cheaper high octane ethanol gas. You could select 87e0 89e10 91e20 93e30 E50 or e85 They only had 2 tanks and 2 handles on each side. I see no reason why the above video is even a thing . Our e15 has varied seasonally...

Our state has justified lowering 1 ton and deuce and a half pu registrations far below hybrid stating that everything under 12,000lbs doesn’t cause any measurable road damage.

40+ states charge 3x-6x more “road tax” annually on an EV registration than a similar gas car. They also charge “road tax” at charging stations at about 4x the gas car rate. They also generally collect more sales and property taxes on EVs than gassers. And as you state regardless of what...

Ozone can take days full blast with everything closed, needs to be a pretty powerful/dangerous unit in some cases, car need not be running

Step 1 don’t fully or firmly attach to the house (it must be able to break away) Step 2 have independent supports by the house wall Step 3 WAY OVERDUE water transitions , have an excessive amount of eave, expect that the slope will never be adequate no matter how much $$$ you spend , use a...

A little, apparently only 9% of the population has itemized starting in 2020, so things have REALLY changed since I last looked. A very soft glove analysis (below) finds that due to the bills direct nature of passing many formerly subsidized costs directly to individuals the net affect could...

Allow a partial deduction including rent and insurance and you could get over the hump, over half the population can’t legally itemize so most of these changes are gimmicks

#2 is illegal and violates the equal protection clause of the constitution as a feigned difference not eligible for taxation , so it had to be removed or immediate lawsuits would have occurred. #1 runs amuck of states rights and would cost ~$15 billion to implement resulting in another IRS like...

Nearly any vehicle can have these installed aftermarket. I had a set on a 2001 Honda Insight, made a large difference in fuel economy. These clips honestly are a terrific way of making your brakes last longer on cars that no matter what you do have the brakes hang, clean lube hang add clips...
