When heading to Tucson from Las Vegas, in both my '02 E150 4.6 and my '93 Cadillac Fleetwood, I tended to try to be down to a quarter tank before leaving (by not filling more than needed the last time before leaving). It's about 100 miles, and gas is so much less there! Anyway, I head down...

I'm hoping for a bit of UV protection. We have so much UV here that tires die of sidewall dry rot long before tread comes into play. And actually remembering to do it every three months, well . . . [Actually, with my Eldorado Touring Coupe while I was still commenting, I'd get a panel or two...

just don't tell my wife how much I'm planning on spending to fill the upcoming three car garage after $20k for three stacker lifts . . . 😱 :crackup:

there was no charge on my wife's 2025 lariat for the rear power window; it was part of the trim. lane centering, as opposed to mere assist, as @pointed out above, can only engage with ACC enabled. It then comes and goes with the quality of lane markings. Is it actually available for...

Go for a transam screaming chicken! why not, they're putting them on everything these days! :facepalm: [like black Japanese SUVs. and then they send them to classic car auctions because, uhm, . . .] Anyway, I decided long before it arrived to ceramic my wife's 2025 maverick. It spent...

FWIW, today while searching for other things (trim level), I found that the inline 6 in a 1950 ford had more torque (but less hp) than the v8! [yes, one of the things I'm looking for as soon as I move in the coming months is a 50s convertible (but 40s could be a negotiable substitute). Must...

reading these, I opened fordpass (which I had used yesterday). It opened to an attempt to reset my privacy preferences to allow them my data (I'd turned them off before leaving the dealer's lot, yet both defaults were set to "Screw You!", err, "share"). It then wanted to schedule my update...

Move to Las Vegas. :facepalm: we don't even need flea collars for cats and dogs; the little monsters can't survive in our climate!

Wyze's not only lets you open and close remotely, it includes a camera that lets you check the door, whether your car is there, and so forth. I haven't tried it, but I've liked their other cameras.

my manual keeps automatically locking, and I can't read it. Can anyone help? :facepalm: I was in a PT Cruiser rental in 2001 or so. The blizzard was building, and we had it running to warm up as we packed before my drive. Finished packing, closed the read door--and the psychotic little...

What year Ferrari did he have? I only know about his Cadillac . . . :teehee: I've done it dozens of times in an E-150, Cadillacs, and a Jeep Wrangler. The caddy Fleetwood was definitely best, but that applies to just about any road :crackup:. (The E-150, though, did much better than the...

I could count the number of people I would let borrow my vehicle on one hand, and pick my nose (both sides) and offer a one fingered salute simultaneously!

generally, it's not a state law matter, but federal due process restrictions that strike these down. It's been a while, but I *think* you need a contemporary witness to view and authenticate, and a LEO to exercise the discretion as to whether or not to issue. These could be the same person, or...

I tried a more inclusive oil change schedule, but gave it up as too much effort. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find gay black female oil? Or Indonesian with traumatic brain injury? :crackup:

It doesn't sound high to me. My Eldorado Touring Coupe got clipped in traffic a few years ago. The insurance called it totaled not for the needed bodywork, but because of the cost of painting two panels in White Diamond!

We took a suddenly non-functional cat to the vet a week ago. As my wife expected, it needed an enema . . . $480 later . . . 😱 (but $280 was for the X-ray that I can't unsee). Anyway, it was a "leave him here, and we'll give him as many as it takes." Maybe take the dog in, and slip the vet...

the practical difference is that ceramic sticks around longer than wax. Whether it absorbs or blocks more UV is a good question which I can't answer--any discussion is quickly overrun by True Believers who apparently have nothing better to do than web searches for any forum with a new post...

like the blonde who locked herself inside the car? (search for "blondestar". I can't find the original, which was just an audio file nearly 30 years ago, but you can find various versions with dumb slides attached on dorktube,)

it varies from state to state, with one or the other of those compromising most. CA and NV are split on that, iirc, but I couldn't tell you which is which. yes, but viewing on camera can be sufficient. The house of cards started collapsing when transcripts of city council meetings...

ooh, you've lived a pampered life if 93 even makes your list! 😱 And if you mean 60, that's dime-a-dozen replicated all over the place. Go back a few years and it was quite painful, but over the last decade or so, they've lopped off an hour or two. Now, there are only a couple of one...
