    Has anything increased in price as much as replacement wiper blades have?

    Sam's Club has beam style wiper blades (made by Peak) for about $11.88 each. I have them on my daily driver for about 2-3 years now and they've been great. I clean them every time I wash my car though. The only downside to them is the ugly large locking mechanism to the car's wiper assembly...

    I think you'd use up the tread before the sidewalls would start cracking on a modern tire

    Tesla’s new competition in China, a cell phone company

    Same lol. Unless Tesla magically fixes their build quality and the car's handling dynamics, I would probably go with an EV BMW.

    Tesla’s new competition in China, a cell phone company

    Oh for sure. Apple doesn't really give up like that unless they see it's not viable for long term profits with demand, or physics does not allow them to make something cool to their standards of quality (ie: the AirPower wireless charger lol). It seems they've taken the wise approach to just...

    Tesla’s new competition in China, a cell phone company

    Apple could do it -- their R&D power is God tier in the modern world. My theory is that they used some of their R&D to foresight trends and where EVs would go in the near future and maybe they saw something they didn't like and backed out. Apple loves money. These two things make it obvious...

    Tesla becoming a generic word for an EV?

    My nieces and nephews and their friends call them either "EVs" or "electric cars" unless they're specifically talking about a Tesla

    OEM Headlights upgrade to LED White Bright Headlights

    The problem with drop in LED/HID kits in halogen (either reflector OR projector), is physics. We're measuring performance by looking at wall shots, having other people drive in the opposite lane, putting LED diodes in a similar position as a halogen filament, etc. These are absolutely NOT how...

    Apple cancels EV development

    I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but if we thought of this detail, don’t you think they did from inception too?

    Bimmer owners - Any decent used model?

    I've been dailying a 2003 BMW Z4 3.0i (M54 engine) for about 14 years now (!!!). It's got 171,000 miles on the dash. Got it when it had about 50,000. I've had to fix these things from memory: -valve cover gasket 2X -expansion tank 4X -water pump 2X -radiator 3X -oil pan gasket (hardest job by...

    Apple cancels EV development

    Apple's R&D is insane because of the huge amounts of money they have. You bet they looked into the concept of EVs in general. They saw something looming on the horizon and backed out. Apple is a titan-level company and everyone follows. They already have Apple Carplay which millions of...

    Headlight Replacement, What Version to Choose?

    If you can easily change your bulbs parked somewhere at night in an emergency, get the Silverstar Ultra. Brilliant light bulbs. As "white" as you can get without killing lumens (mimicks more or less a 4300K HID but not quite there), has a stronger "punch" at night, it's a bit wider so you see...

    best wiper's for rainy / hot weathers?

    Go all out and get the Rain-X Latitude wipers. And keep them clean every season or after every car wash by running the wash mitt (assuming you wash your own cars) or a damp cloth and running it along the blades by squeezing them and you should be good for a long while.

    Its official - 60% of households and 82% of singles can't afford a new car.

    This. You guys really thought that the economy in a 1-in-100 year pandemic, would come out unscathed? LOL. Impossible. Capitalism doesn't like pauses or slowdowns. We're lucky the people behind the wheel right now in America are actually competent and didn't let it sink. IIRC, America is one of...

    Stellantis brands Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and others are skipping Chicago Auto Show

    If you're a gamer or like video games, this might seem a bit familiar. E3 was a giant video game show that would showcase new upcoming games for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo every summer. Over the years, less and less developers would attend to show off new games at E3. Eventually Nintendo...

    This aftermarket LED brake light kit destroys Tacoma fuse block

    Yeah, I've come to learn (and appreciate) that the lighting that comes OEM from factory on any car, are the superior option. Even if you install something that's brighter and looks "cooler", there are trade offs that OEM doesn't make in terms of reliability or from keeping them from soaking up...
