    Tesla Stock

    Are we forever waiting for the “new model”? All we got was a refresh, which is nice but it’s no dagger. Wouldn’t it be better to release a completely new model for current owners to upgrade to? Would it be possible to keep the 3 but make that the basis of the $25k vehicle?

    Which show might better predict the future, Jetsons or Mad Maxx II

    I used to say a combination of Idiocracy and Brazil, but I was only close. It’s a combination of Idiocracy, Month Python and the Holy Grail (“were an Anarcho-Syndaclist Commune…” , Life of Brian (“from now on, I want you to all call me Loretta, it’s my right as a man”), and Brazil (“Confess...

    Outrageous Dealer Add-Ons and Fees - When Will They Learn?

    2010, when I bought my 4Runner, was my first time seeing this “fake add-on to the Monroney sticker” trick. $2995 for cheap pinstripes and clear tape door edge guards. Such a sweet deal!

    75W-90 Synthetic WITHOUT Limited Slip Additive - Mobil Delvac?

    It’s constantly “out of stock” at Summit. I’ve had it in my cart and an email notification request for over a year. I live 5 miles from Summit in Sparks so I’d like to get it without shipping charges. Summit is one weird company.

    Best option for CD transferring and burning....

    I like hard copies of my music. I’ve had Amazon music disappear due to licensing rights and I’ve got dozens of old unusable Apple Music files locked to an exgf’s account. I ripped 70GB or so of my CD collection to an external drive years ago. That’s been copied to a thumb drive once or twice. I...

    Brake fluid change topic

    Iirc in the old days you would break open the bleeders and get a bunch of rusty fluid. I can’t really imagine how many times you would have to do a res suck and fill to prevent that.

    Official Toyota parts 25% off deal 20-27 nov

    Yeah, it takes a bit of work to find the actual best price in the Lexus/Toyota sites. The free shipping usually makes using them a better deal than some of the discount dealers such as McGeorge, Conicelli, etc.but those sites are still very useful for their parts drawings, parts searches, etc...

    Blinded by the light.

    I prefer driving very early mornings and I tend to take back highways. As such, I’m a liberal user of high beams. Just wondering, what evasive maneuver is a driver going to do when their fogs light up a coyote or deer on the shoulder 20-30ft ahead at 60mph? Anything that isn’t actively lighting...

    On backup power due to storm

    Power was out at my folk’s place for the last 30 hrs. Central Coast, 26 miles from the largest power plant in CA. Went out before the big winds. Power has been out three times in the two weeks I’ve been here, it averages once a month. PGE says this one was caused by “equipment issue”. Maybe they...

    Is it just me or are municipalities using more salt on the roads?

    Brine. Last year was the worst oxidation damage I’ve seen on our vehicles in 20 years of living in the Sierras. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/sacramento/news/salt-caltrans-clear-roads-environmental-concerns/

    Any reason to not use Advics pads over OEM Toyota?

    Toyota parts has 20% off sales every couple of months, sometimes just for a weekend. Also, the free shipping over $75 seems permanent. Keep checking your ”participating“ Toyota dealers. Feb is often a sale month. I got pads for my 4Runner comparable to aftermarket prices, but no shims...

    Tesla Christmas Road Trip - Battery needed frequent re-charging - Range Estimates were 50% to 69% off
