> No oil, no gas, no coal, and no nuclear power used to make any of the electricity used at my house. chops that's impressive. tried few years back for a solar install on our big south-facing garage roof--but the estimates of generated KW kept dropping and number of necessary panels kept...

arguments against going all-electric are staggering. but technophiles bow down to worship anything new. and this pretense that they're somehow more environmentally hip? how pathetic. my new mantra: deep pockets but empty heads and please find me a single one of them who'll cop to the...

> only the boomers that fear EV’s and are going to be buried with their gas can still gripped in their cold, dead hands current generations are ever self-congratulating--and so condescending . . . catastrophic disaster needn't mean apocalypse--just ask victims of katrina. ask how long their...

> some point soon all vehicles will be BEV. Period. god i hope not but i'm scared you're right. the world does love flying to the extremes--and e-vehicles are extremely all the rage now. plays to the ego of self-righteous technophiles with deep pockets and empty heads who love to show...

> I just re-read this. Boy I sound pretentious and pontificating. Sorry about that. Not my intention. not a bit of it--just erudite and confidently informed now i'm really gonna drop a bomb: 2001 a space odyssey--like most of kubrick's films frankly--is horseshit. but his...

thanx ABT--and all y'all--for your thoughtful input such a great forum; lucky i found it

happened once and then today it happened again: i turn the ignition and nothing happens. after several tries and flipping the key over it finally starts. ignition does engage as dashlights come on etc; it just doesn't kick in the starter when i turn it all the way to the right should i...

blue max you have shredded my vocal cords--shrieking laughter so loud the wife came running in to see if i was ok. it set the dogs next door to barking

we adore our maverick--which we call moonshine!--but wife and i agree: that knob shifter is cute but really a nuisance if there's sunlight or glare on it: becomes impossible to see

was at a 7/11 here and watched a young woman pull out in a porche roadster with the top down. holding a hot dog in her left hand and a slurpy in her right she was steering the car with her knees jeez pleez protect us from distracted drivers!!!

y'all are too much! such thoughtful responses. leaning towards one of the hard tri-fold tonneaus--but are they tricky to remove? do occasionally haul dirt/gravel/ and am thinking it might be better to have the tonneau off then. small bed is challenge enuf for the guys to load with their...

y'all are great! thanx for that amazon hit . . . and glen i owe you one for lying about being in zimbabwe. weary of answering sometimes i make shit up just to keep from getting irritated. we're happily NOT in any country with a z name. pacific northwest

have searched this topic and am avalanched with hits so i hoped to start a new thread. anybody got a tonneau they adore? thanx y'all

gotta agree: lunacy. saving gas? horseshit! if gas was 100 bux a gallon it still wouldn't be worth the waste. a big gulp of gasoline to start a dead engine--and the worst emissions on startup! it's not just robbing peter to pay paul: it's stupid

glen you rule! thanx a meg bro . . .

thanx a meg for your tip!

our xlt's white and we call her moonshine previous ride had those flecks of bright aluminum in her black paint so we called her sparkle motion (that's right: from donnie darko!)

mine's strictly personal: wish i could slide out the headrests from the rear seats to improve visibility through the rearview mirror--hate blindspots!

just my dos pesos but thanx to the kats who recommend applying a smidge of some reliable lubricant to the nuts before torquing. my fave is marvel mystery oil. god i love it. add it to the oil and gas in all my rigs--add it to my cereal if my wife would let me used to be able to buy it in a...
