I am sorry for the loss of your Mom. I also applaud you for keeping the car and for keeping it on the road. There is a phenomenon now happening in the U.S. as a result of so many elderly drivers passing on.....and that is so many of their former rides are ending up as saleable vehicles on...

Does anyone else wish they were 22 again and know then what we know now? Happy Birthday.......I think I celebrated my 22 second birthday in the University Computer Lab......LOL......those were the days before the PC.

I just returned from a trip where I rented a 2024 Hyundai Elantra with a CVT. The driving experience for me was horrible. Acceleration had wind up rubber band feel with no real firm acceleration instant response. I will never own one if I can help it.

Yes, now imagine a technician / mechanic who was in the bridge generation of modern and older cars (think of someone whom has had to work both on ECU / fuel injected cars, and some that may have points ignition and carburetors. This would be a super rare occurence mind you, but still is...

I have been asked to jump start many modern cars, or to also scan the codes in the OBDII system. My policy is that I will only jump an immediate family member's car and the same use applies with my scan tool. I have had friends ask me to scan codes for them on their cars and I tell them that...

My Grandmother lived near a large railyard when I was a kid. She used to tell me stories about the hobos (men folk predominantly) who would ride the rails to and fro. Many would stop by her house ask for a sandwich and to use the well in her backyard for a cool drink. She considered her...

@ Shortyb....Rest well and content that you gave him a great home. Also think about all the good times you had because of him. There are many good dogs in shelters that need good homes. I know that you said that you have some others already, but I am only stating the obvious in case you...

Hey Jeff, Thanks for the pic. Where did you spot it? Did you happen to look inside and see if it had the Hoffman shift knob with the thin blue line around it's circumference?

Allan, was great in front of Congress when all the OEM CEOs were there asking for money and he pro-claimed that Ford did not.

GON, Thanks for sharing. Yes, we have to give Lee credit where it is due. I also think that he was super motivated personally to get back at "The Duece" (Henry Ford The II) for firing him. Given all of the challenges of running a car company, I am still amazed that the industry is still in...

You could start by comparing the schematics of the wiring diagram of both vehicles. This would provide you with a high level insight on the compatibility. I would think both vehicles would be close but it still could be possible that yours may have a different body control module that affects...

Especially if it is a CVT.

Ouch.......magnets have signs of overheat exposure?

@ Alarmguy - The are other possible RF and network phenomenon that can occur that your test may not take into account. 1. Network load balancing - when the cell site or 5G node reaches capacity it will automatically attenuate the signal to force exisitng subscribers to migrate to nearby cell...

You are absolutely correct. Homeowners insurance and rising multi-family unit HOA fees are other reasons some markets seeing increased sales activity.

GON, thanks for sharing. Enjoyed it very much.

Personally I don't like CDs. Your money is tied up in a contract and is less liquid. I use money market accounts instead. Yes, I know they are not FDIC insured. But if you have concerns about that then use several accounts from different providers. Bankrate.com is a good source for...

Let's face it....every brand / OEM has had issues......yes some more than others. Currently there is tremendous over capacity in the whole industry and some OEMs will probably not survive. This same situation played out in the early part of the 20th century where many OEMs either could not...

Please look into how much "screen time" he is getting in on a daily / weekly basis. There are numerous articles saying that people with too much screen time are having issues getting into proper REM sleep.

Early 60's VW Beetles were notorius for getting wet distributors during downpurs. Easy fix was to pup the distributor cap and spay WD40 inside the cap itself, and wipe down the exterior. Thanks once again to BITOG for reviving a memory from my past long ago.....😁
