    Tesla Stock

    Good conversation. How did supporting the UAW actually help Ford? What did loyalty buy them? They were one of the first targeted and declared "the enemy". Would you keep playing along if you paid the price and were supportive but got hosed? How should Farley respond? As a guy that runs a...

    Why do people use the rear brake?

    Me? I've used them both since Ive been 6 including a ride this morning on my 1200 bandit. It became clear on practically my first ride how the physics package worked. Any "rider" that doenst get the front rear 70/30 ratio isnt really a " rider" but a guy riding a bike. At some point we may...

    Tesla Stock

    The UAW has driven a significant chunk of the US auto industry out of America. Ford was the only company to add union jobs willingly over the last 15 years, and the UAW rewarded them for their loyalty by striking their largest most profitable plants while declaring them, "the enemy". Farley...

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    Of course they did because I wasn't getting a discount for my trouble if I bought another brand. They weren't OEM tires. That wasnt the point I was trying to make. I was agreeing with your statement about loyalty buying help, and pointing out that going back to the dealer for tires is one of...

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    It can happen but it's rare. Once in my life I had an actual relationship with my lexus dealer - they did stuff like replace a 10 year old cracked dashboard for no money, and I did everything with them outside of oil and filter changed including tires which they made great deals on - including...

    We Bought a 2024 Odyssey

    Great van John! I hope it serves your family well. I decided not to muzzle my 2017 Ridgeline that has the gen 3 VCM. I was convinced there was nothing to it if I changed oil as per the maintenance minder and did so. I was also convinced after many filter cuts that my engine was clean as a...

    Any Ghost Stories?

    I don’t believe in ghosts but my house in LA had several unexplainable events occur. The wife and i watched a set of car keys slide off a counter onto the floor in broad daylight. No wind, magnets, kids, or pranksters we were alone. They "slid" off from the center of the table, the was no...

    2024 Silverado EV W/T - 450 miles EPA range

    Until the multi car comparison road trips, or times for measured known route trips like Bjorn takes show a significant and consistent arrival delta, I wont bother going out of my way for one if I get in the market at all.

    Tesla scraps low-cost car plans amid fierce Chinese EV competition

    Or it could be the 25K car will be 30K, or , or, or. Lots of possibilities and opportunity to misquote or twist. Or maybe Elon was moaning about not being able to make money on it, who knows. Kind of hard to tell with Elon, he does get it wrong a bunch.

    Honda VCM Disabling Questions

    The Honda 6 is pretty easy on oil compared to lots of the chain driven 6's. It's one of the reasons I haven't moved up to 30. The 20 stays a 20 instead of thrashing down. My Vk56 will thrash a 30 to a 20 with no sweat. Thats a J37 though, I don't know what difference the later heads may make.
