    RAM1500 is coming without Start/Stop system

    I need to program it out on the Expedition.... And disable MDS on my Challenger.

    Receiving a hard copy payroll check from your employer.

    My employer does direct deposit but paper stubs mailed into the shop every week. We also have one guy who refused to use direct deposit though, he also just "upgraded" from a flip phone last year but only uses it to call people.

    What is your best MPG ever on a road trip?

    32mpg in my Kia. Everything else I've owned has done between 16 and 23 on a road trip.

    Power is out

    At our old house the power outages were so frequent and so long because our investor owned utility refused to pay overtime to the linemen I had to have a generator wired into my breaker panel. Even with 100k+ people out of power after a storm they wouldn't call a "major storm event".... At least...

    Toyota 4 Runner shockingly disappointing rental experience

    Toyota only really puts effort into the first 1/8th of throttle input, as that is the most 99% of Toyota drivers seem to ever use.

    Hybrids

    I'll stick to my 2014 Challenger. 20'ish mpg and a smile every time I floor it and hear that v8 roar.

    Anyone else own a John Deere S160 or similar mower?

    ZT2 50" which has serviceable ZT-2800 hydros and a Kawasaki engine, currently has about 137 hours on it from mowing the 2 acres at our old house. Now it'll be doing 1/3rd of an acre.... But I would pull a yard cart with it all the time. Or big tree limbs. Or load up the foot rest area with bags...

    New Headlights !

    I would love to upgrade my Challenger's headlights but all the LED'S are obnoxious shades of blue that I can't see when the road the road is wet (the Jeep rental with factory led wasn't any better), and HID just costs so much.... I miss the Philips XtremeVision HID's I had in my Durango. Just...

    Anyone else own a John Deere S160 or similar mower?

    That is precisely why I didn't buy a JD and got a Cub Cadet at the time instead. Though my cub has these ridiculous proprietary "s" shaped keys for the blades.... Would love to throw a set of Oregon g5 blades on but that'll require changing the spindles.

    Rain in the desert

    I carry 😉 And while the humidity is godawful I'm absolutely terrified of spiders 🫣 Fun fact, we call it corn sweat! Though dew points in the mid 70s is just downright disrespectful

    Rain in the desert

    This sounds absolutely horrifying, what do you mean a big March of spiders?!

    Overview of AWD Systems

    For 2, there are so many different kinds. I know the Rams with the BW44-44 transfer case, those with 4x4 auto, use clutches but it's kind of a clunky system and really only applies power to the front once wheel slip has been detected. Our Expedition on the other hand seems flawless, it'll dial...

    Any recommendations on new "car buying" brokers?

    Another +1 on Delivrd. Haven't used him personally but I love his videos.

    I miss bench seats.

    I do miss my bench seat my 2019 Ram had... Wife would sit in the middle, oldest son in the passenger seat, younger 3 sons in the back.

    Another technological mess on a newer Jetta.

    My base model 2014 Challenger R/T is about as advanced of a vehicle as I want, but I'm sure there's some proprietary software nonsense, but it exists as it left the factory and will never see the dealership again for anything. The Expedition has all the fancy stuff including the ability to...

    Stellantis stock how low will it go?

    I like the look of the new Charger, but yeah it's heavy at 4700+lbs and at $52k for a standard output i6 it's not worth it, I acknowledge the new one is faster but I want a hemi. 700lbs more than my current Challenger!

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    The new iphones are just as ugly, one of my deciding factors on going for the pixel over upgrading from my iphone 13 pro max was apple went to that absolutely gigantic bump.

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    So far I love it. Didn't de Google my life yet, but I did get all the AI crap off it.

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    I just wanted to add to this having installed Graphene the other day.... Granted I used a laptop and windows 11. But it was absolutely painless and far faster than I thought it would be. Backing up my photos took longer than the actual install!
