    I-95 NY - FL and back observations..

    Do you not get tied up on those roads for the most part? Been caught up in gridlock numerous times on 81. Used to lay over in Roanoke Virginia. which was a good place to stop. 26 and 77 gets very heavy but for the most part keeps moving. Going on a run to Queens in May and just not sure which...

    Do gas stations shut off pumps to order fuel ?

    That happens often at Exxon-Mobil stations in South Florida. It is generally less then 15 minutes. For the most part anyway.

    I-95 NY - FL and back observations..

    I go back and forth from Miami Beach to Queens [I-95] about 3 times a year. Virginia for years has been a total nightmare. The last trip [around Nov 10th 2022] got tied up from before Fredericksburg all the way to Alexandria Va. Average speed was 0-15 MPH. I came back down to Florida just before...

    Bought a 2023 Palisade today

    Looks perfect in White! I have been buying but White vehicles for decades. I see a ton of Palisades on I-95 when I head to NYC from Miami. Spoke to a few owners at rest stops and all said they loved them. All said they were running plain old regular fuel in them. I only use regular in my...

    Dear Town Car owners…

    There will never be another super low maintenance vehicle like the Panthers. Had a 88 Town Car [5.0]-99 Grand Marquis [4.6 with the HPP package]-then a 05 4.6 Crown Vic. Put over 300K miles on all of them and only did mostly plain old regular maintenance. Nothing major. Lived in NYC and commuted...

    Moving to Florida and UV damage

    Insurance is extremely expensive. Average is 2400 bucks a year. A lot of people when they move down here from another state do not register their vehicle down here and just keep the plates they came down with. If they have to go back for inspections they take a short vacation and go back and do...

    Moving to Florida and UV damage

    I am in the Miami area and was just told I am getting a big a assessment in the near future after the condo commandos has their board meeting at the end of month. Condo Commandos get their way each and every time. Anything written in the contract...no matter how stupid it is....is strictly...

    Which matters more: miles or years?

    I stay away from those. The bulk of the time they end up to be nightmares due those constant short trips where it only average 1-5 miles total if that. Generally oil changes are neglected cause of low miles. But that is just me..To each their own.

    Which matters more: miles or years?

    I would get the 2014 but ONLY after I look at all the service records to see if it was serviced every 5K miles. Being a one owner is a plus also. I would also have a good independent mechanic check it out also from top to bottom to play it safe. But that is just me.

    Is AFM Always A Bad Thing On GM?

    My 2016 5.3 Tahoe still has the AFM enabled.. Just turned 148K miles tonight.. So far no issues with AFM.. This Tahoe is one of the best vehicles I ever owned. Use Mobil 1 0w20 EP and sometimes 0w20 AC Delco if the dealer services it as they do not carry Mobil 1. Change out every 5-6K miles. I...

    For those without Automatic Climate Control, when do you turn on the heat?

    I leave mine on Auto 365 days a year set at 72. Been doing that since the 70's. In colder climates I leave it in the bi-level position. I Leave the fan speed in the lowest position the bulk of the time. I can never figure out why people have to keep playing around with it by shutting it off...

    Direct Injection Only

    I have 140K miles on my 2016 DI Tahoe. No DI servicing or valve cleaning. Plus I am in tons of traffic on the B.Q.E. in NYC often. A few police agencies in Broward County are running 2015+Tahoe's. Spoke to a few Leos and they said no servicing of the DI system. They have tons of idle time on...

    How often do you clean your car?

    I get my Tahoe hand washed and waxed every 3-4 months. With constant passing showers every single day it is a waste of time doing it anymore. But I do take bird dumping off it every day of the week. I do not park under trees.
