Someone drove from the Las Vegas Valley around the mountain to the AACA grand national a few weeks ago--in an '08 Cadillac! He and another driver that noone honked or otherwise complained, but just marveled at this dinosaur with a top speed of 28MPH and waved!

I've found that the pad basically holds the charge steady when using both map/waze and music/pandora. But if the sun hit's it directly through an open window or sunroof, the iPhone goes to thermal overload and tells me to come back later.

Now that's just nuts! 😜 Anyway, the value to the dealer could be to that reprobate it hired who sells the data to his cousin, who just got out of serving a nickel for carjacking . . .

The full circumstances of my set of large torx bits is one of those things that time has mercifully blacked out. I think it was a cross country trip in the E-150, and I had to pull a bolt on a seat or bolt because of an improbable but dangerous tangle. Fortunately, ISTR that I was wishing...

Also, the point isn't to block the air, but rather to break it up in a way that reduces noise. I suspect that a solid deflector would create a new noise at its edge! (which might or might not be worse than the one the deflector is trying to ameliorate)

shouldn't it simply be in the bed? 🤔

TL/DR: google has gone from grabbing all the data it can about us to sell, to grabbing our radio stations! :eek:

70's Cadillacs. Go ahead, Datsun. Make my day! :crackup:

Convertibles are my year-round preference. But my wife tends to complain about the top being down and messing up her hair . . . Of the 70k that I put on my '06 Miata GT, well under 1k was with the top up. THis is her maverick. I was surprised when she said "yes" to the moonroof as we...

I so wanted a convertible Karmann Ghia long ago. A few years ago, I stumbled across one here after my car rolled over and died--and realized that there is no way that I'd go into today's Las Vegas traffic in one! (or an MG, or . . .) OK, the lack of AC would kind have been a show stopper...

The TPMI on the maverick and my 18v Ryobi pump agree. I'm happy to go along with their consensus.

Slacker! :crackup: I was 11 when I started wandering the neighborhood with my mower! There's not much point in an engine that can produce significantly more than the tires can deliver . . . If that's the one I'm thinking of, it wasn't so much a CVT as a single speed with torque converters...

I want a '26 Cadillac--but there isn't a 2026 that I would touch! (OK, I'd settle for anywhere from '24-'26, but the only 2027s that would interest me, if they actually happen, are the F-150 Lightning plugin and the Dodge 1500 EREV)

Nah, that's the "engine in check" light. The transmission moved its knight to threaten the engine's queen , leaving the engine's king in a discovered check. Things just ain't lookin' good for the engine! 😜

It seems highly unlikely that they will use Motorcraft batteries, so they should be fine there . . . :eek:

If I want 49 miles to a tank, I'll drive my '72 Eldorado with it's out of tune 500! :crackup:

Bah. I grew up within a mile of two major fault lines. Tremors are wimpy. If you want to make a statement, go for "Earthquake" ! :teehee:

Actually, no. Fords didn't have shift levers until the 1928 Model A. On the Model T (and I believe it's predecessors), the left pedal was the clutch (but not as we think of it today!). Up (no foot) was high, half down was neutral, and down was low (it was a two speed). Reverse was engaged...

Shane, come back! :crackup:

I could be wrong, but I believe that the reason for this is that in a collision, a locked door has one more bit stopping the door from opening than an unlocked door. If this is correct, there is no way that a manufacturer would leave a way to turn it off, as it would be a massive liability...
