Rent a huge one from Lowe's for 4 hours. Move it all and get rid of it... for your 1 percent big truck needs.

I love technology. I just can't stand climate control systems that just constantly do what you don't want it to do and you have to fight it to make a do what you want to do. That's really not helping life with technology.

It turns on fresh air to feed oxygen to your brain. I use fresh most of the time and go for the recir when I anticipate a coal roller. Particularly on long trips, fresh air keeps you from falling asleep and moisture from the humans unless you are running the A/c on recirc and falling asleep in...

I'm guessing you're referring to one of these thermoelectric tiny fridges you can buy on Amazon. I've never seen one with a thermostat, although they're pretty cheap. There is a thermostat on the heat side usually to keep it going under 160 so it doesn't burn up when keeping food hot. On cool...

They probably had some state or federal incentive originally to buy them. And then didn't have any charging infrastructure or plan or motivation. Which they could have just done 120 volt stations for that, overnight and saved thousands in municipal funding for gasoline.

Pennsylvania has a flat tax on EVs and PHEV not on HEV. I mean I get it with the EV. You've got something that's heavier than most cars tearing up the roads, not paying their way, and Pennsylvania has a lot of road mileage damaged by winter. If you have PHEV And never plug it in, you're really...

If you had an early Hybrid with the engine recall you would have had a couple of the blades removed and the rest would operate. Of course this probably makes cold weather operation more cold since the ICE engine on the hybrid is running cold because it's not running all the time.

My favorite is when someone blasts them with a torque wrench and then the next time you want to take it off manually It's too large. Then you can kind of work off the cover and put a smaller socket on it. Keep a couple In the glove box. $6 a piece. This happened with my 7-year-old fiesta. You...

I have never understood why people would want to pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot in a vehicle. Pretty much everyone's phone has unlimited data and they're already paying for a hotspot or some type of plan. Paying for this twice just doesn't make any sense.

Like others say, the electric motors run intermittently and will mostly provide some boost for speeding up or passing on the interstate and regen on downhills. iCE takes on most of the highway work. Plus they are cooled in the lubrication fluid inside the transmission and there is a low...

Loved cable systems. I can't tell you how often I have stood on my head and torn up my hands replacing these stupid servo motors, sometimes the same motor multiple times because somehow It's better having a computer and cheap plastic electronics failing before you trade in a car. The cables used...

Sometimes I fight with it constantly turning on the compressor when I don't want the compressor on. It's hard to get just fresh air out the top vents without the system taking over doing anything, It annoys the hell out of me that the compressor wants to turn on when it's 50° out wasting fuel. I...

On the hybrid it's basically telling the computer to either increase regenerative braking and/ or engine braking. So that's going to depend on your throttle position and how much you're going downhill. The hybrid system in itself is going to be regenerative braking without it. And that increases...

Engine braking occurs without "L" pressed. A long hill and the HV is full so it can't regen it has to do something. I have a long hill where this happens everytime. There is a light at the bottom of the hill. If I stop, the ICE goes to stop.

There's an electrical supplemental heater that will use a lot of electricity and force the ice engine to fire up more often making more heat and then it won't need the electric heater anymore once the engine is warm enough. That's the price of efficiency and that's why it's using full synthetic...

Well sometimes people just like something new and all the logic in the world won't change the decision. I'm curious what the real world mileage will be with the Camry. As you are comparing real world to the sticker, plus the Mav is more of a taller brick, So more wind resistance for sure if you...

I've been able to hit your numbers on a 22 XLT. It's all about how you drive it.

The whirring sound with remote start is probably the electic a/c compressor/fans starting, maybe on auto def. On my '22 you can set remote to start with last picked settings or auto. I'm always shutting off the compressor manually. Ford seems to want to use it in many scenarios, like 90 percent...

A few things: I think the Campaign 23N06 To replace the longblock Is longer than the drivetrain warranty. My letter says 10 years and 100,000. And for the people who say this is a reason why I wouldn't buy a hybrid, This is the type of defect that could affect gasser. A process doesn't polish a...

If you read some stories, it's a completely different manufacturing process. Much fewer parts. They basically assemble the vehicle in three pieces and then it's mated on The assembly line. Front back and then battery integrated into vehicle in the center with seats and stuff installed. So the...
