Finally a photo of my 2 favorite vehicles. My 24 Lariat Hybrid, and my 67 Pontiac Firebird that I purchased new 58 years ago. Love driving both of these beauties whenever I get the opportunity.⁵

I promise to do that soon. I'll have to get one of my grandkids to do that for me.

You are right---my bad. Misunderstood your input.

As the owner of a classic, all those things you listed, are most likely installed on that old truck, including AC.

I agree with you on the driving choice staying wherever you set it, would be nice. I was driving in ECO every time I drove it at first, but I found that the vehicle was constantly going into deep sleep mode as soon as I'd turn it off. This was worse in the cold weather. Dealer said to take it...

I had an issue with my brand new Pontiac Tempest, after some minor front end body damage, no damage to the cooling system, but some welding had to be done on the repair. Car caught on fire two days after we got it back from the body shop. Fire started in the firewall dashboard area. Car was a...

My pet peeve is people expecting 70k trucks at 30k prices.

You're right, it was one of those situations where I was able to just drive out forward, and with the soft open on my tailgate, I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary.

I had an open tailgate last winter and was unaware it was open. I tried to open the tailgate, but it was frozen, so I tried to push it back closed. Thinking it was latched, I drove to the grocery store. Leaving and returning from the front of the vehicle, I was not aware the gate had opened...

Canada's emissions are the same as the rest of USA.

Yea---in all my years of owning cars with AC I've never had to do maintenance. When it quit working, I took it to an AC guy.

Cold air falls, hot air rises. If you're blowing cold air to the floor, it'll stay there.

But use a pruning blade if you're in a hurry.

Yea, I wasn't meaning to reply to your situation as much as I was responding to some who seem confused about s/s in the hybrid as well. A friend of mine has a 23 Escape and it is a pain. Apparently the auto makers realized how easy and inexpensive it was to put that system into as many of their...

The hybrid does not have the stop/start system. It shuts off as soon as you take your foot off the throttle and stays off while you're stopped. It will stay off when you drive off, as long as you don't mash the throttle. There is no button on the hybrid to shut off an s/s system. I hear people...

The problem with the plastic netting is it does scratch the paint. If you're OK with that then not a worry. They are great on glass though. The fabric softener cloths are the best and scratch free, because the chemicals in them soften and dissolve the bug remains.

Wet a fabreeze cloth, and wet your windshield. Wash the windshield with the wet fabreeze and it will melt the bugs away. Rinse off right away. It will also work on paint without harming---just make sure you rinse it off right away.

Why would anyone attempt to drive through a construction zone with any of this equipment turned on? It's going to try to keep you between two lines----it doesn't know which two.

Most auto sales people know nothing about the vehicles they are trying to sell. When I went to one dealership with my wish list, he told me the 2024 had to have the bedliner installed aftermarket. I knew it was standard on the Lariat. So he was adding $600 to the Lariat base price for the...
