We had an emergency alert at 7 pm last night to reduce power consumption immediately, or risk power outages. It was -39 C last night. I realize that the power grid is more complex than wind, solar and coal plants, but still. Most of Alberta’s wind fleet slowly shut down Thursday night, but not...

I'm looking at this car in a couple of hours for my daughter. It's in great shape and has low mileage (90k kms or 55k miles). I'm guessing the timing belt has never been changed, and due to the age it would be a priority maintenance item. I have no idea what a timing belt should cost to change...

I remember most of what is shown in this video (DING DING!) from my childhood, especially on summer road trips to visit relatives. A couple of comic books from a rotating rack in the service station, and a bag of chips for each of us kids kept us happy for a few hours. By 1980 when I started...

This is what our rental was, and in the same color (stock image) Three weeks ago, my son and I rented a Tesla Model Y duel motor in Texas for a day. We drove a total of approximately five hours, on mostly secondary highways. It was my first time in a Tesla, while my son has rented them before...

Although nothing really new here, I thought this video was well presented..

From Reddit: My dad recently passed away. He had advanced dementia and was for the most part gone for the last few years. One of the things that always cracks me up about him:My dad (early dementia) and I were at the grocery store and we both noticed a very attractive women near us. He looked...

My dream car, 6.5 litre v12 with a 9k rpm redline. I would have to be obscenely rich to drive (abuse) my dream 812 GTS like this and not care. Here's a video to go with your morning coffee, should be wide awake after that.. (fun starts at 3:00)

(From Reddit) Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip. But there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule...

(From Reddit) Exterminator's truck:

Original size 51r Old 51r vs new 24f New 24f installed, used generic battery tray and longer j bolts from Amazon. I cut 1/4 inch from the front j bolt so it wouldn't be sticking up. Everything fits and the battery is secure. Also installed a new larger gauge ground cable used on V6 Accords...

Our '07 Accord k24... I bought a group 24f rated at 725 CCA to replace the 7 year old AGM 51r, which is rated at 440 CCA. The 51r is now testing at 420 to 440 CA at around +10 deg C, which is much warmer than -18 deg C (0 deg F) that CCA is rated at. So I think it's time to replace, even if it's...

Odo is at 125000 kms (77000 miles). I've changed the trans fluid 3 times over the past 15 years. Just wondering if anyone here has changed one of these. It's not mentioned on the maintenance schedule, so not sure how necessary it is, but probably not a bad idea. Looks like a bit of a pain to...

My Brother in law, who besides being an all around great guy, was a talented mechanic. During the winter when he wasn't farming he built many engines for the hot rodding and muscle car community. He worked out of his fully equipped shop on his farm, and did the rebuilds on his '69 Boss 302...
