    5 years and 93K with my Honda Accord Hybrid

    I recently had the 12V battery go out on my 2018 Accord hybrid. As previously noted, no warning at all until the dashboard exploded with warnings and the car did not start. Fortunately, it happened in my driveway and an easy fix with a AAA mobil battery install.

    Anyone have any inside info for new ordered GM vehicle?

    Actually, it could have been worse. I am reading about the trials and tribulations of those that have ordered new Corvettes. New cars being shipped to Michigan for repairs right from the Kentucky factory. No answers from GM about the status of the vehicles.

    1995 BMW 325i Convertible

    Well, I went to look at the car last night. I pull a CARFAX report prior to meeting with the owner. The CARFAX report indicated a previous accident. From my inspection, the passenger side of the car had been completely repainted. The repairs appeared to have been skillfully done, but orange...

    1995 BMW 325i Convertible

    Going to look tonight at a 1995 BMW 325i convertible. The car has less then 50,000 miles on it. I find it attractive because it is a 5speed and appears to be in pristine condition. The seller is asking $15,000. Thoughts and comments on what I should be looking for. From my research, water pumps...

    Car and Driver: Hyundai Sonata Mid-Size Sedan Reportedly on the Chopping Block.

    I have both a sedan, 2018 Accord hybrid, and a small SUV, 2011 Kia Sportage. They both serve a purpose in my lifestyle. These days, I do find that I am driving the Accord more often. You can't beat the 48-50 mpg,

    Windows 11 "S" Mode

    I purchased a new HP laptop this week with Windows 11 "S" mode preinstalled. Your thoughts on retaining the "S" mode or switching to just 11. It looks like a pretty simple procedure to switch.

    Best (and worst) vehicles from about 1985-2005?

    I drank the VW Koolaid at their absolute worst. A 2002 Passat that absolutely self-destructed at 70,000 miles. Never a VW product again.

    What would be better for our type of use? Full Electric or Hybrid?

    My Accord hybrid gets 48-50 mpg in warm weather and 44-46 mpg in cool weather. With a fill-up, it has a 600 mile range. For "long" drives it is very comfortable. If I recall correctly, the hybrid is only a $1,500 premium over the convential Accord. Unfortunately, in today's environment I have...
