Since Chuck Norris just cashed in his chips at 86, those angels better behave, or it could be raining feathers. A few other Chuck Norris Facts: Why did Chuck Norris cross the road? He didn’t. The road moved out of his way. What happens when Chuck Norris does a push-up? He doesn’t push himself...

Some vehicles were "interesting" others were better ignored. I remember a friend with a Mercury Moch. It was a M O N A R C H but the NAR was on the back on a plastic tab that covered the fuel filler. It broke off after a few trips to the gas station, so most became MO CH... In his case it...

It's not just the charger as existing batteries in most EV's would detonate if they were charged that fast due to thermal runaway. The current "fast" chargers already cause battery life reduction. The BYD Blade 2.0 LFP battery is what enables the ability to offer quick charging, due to its...

On the longevity front, Chuck Norris just cashed in his chips at 86. Those angels better behave...

Ah yes, the good old days when vehicles actually had bumpers instead of large flimsy protruding grills... Welcome to the MTC! So, will she let you drive "her trucklett" ?

Add tailgate up to pre-launch Maverick checklist.

Maybe a bit of both.. :wink:

Some of us enjoy typed conversation more than others.. :wink: Just like a back road ambling through the countryside, some threads meander through more than one topic over time.

I agree, it's a lot more relaxing to take back roads, but those are few and far between... In northern Arizona there are parts of Route 66 you can take, but I-40 is the only practical way to go east, as it's the only route in some parts.

Wow - It happens enough there is a name for it? Sort of like a California stop... The lady who did it in front of me likely wouldn't try it again...

The cost per gallon in California is another matter entirely.. With a hybrid, it's true that stop and go helps mpg's as long as you aren't running the AC or the heater. Just before I moved from the tarnished state, I went to a Dodger baseball game in LA. It was over late and I got onto the 405...

With most automobile engines, the oil fill isn't critical as long as you don't overfill more than a quart or underfill less than a quart. Your engine doesn't really care about a few ounces either way, but if you do, set it exactly to full so you can sleep at night. :wink:

I really miss the traffic in California cities... Like a painful boil...:wink:

Very different conditions out west where I drive, where a spare or a plug could be (relatively) safely swapped or installed. That said, I've had a lot more tires with slow leaks that I could just fill/drive/fill/drive/repeat than I've ever had to plug or switch to a spare.

I was just looking at Jeffy B's emporium, and I noticed that the M A V E R I C K letters are considerably more expensive than those for virtually every other vehicle. Nissan Frontier or Chevrolet, with the same or more letters are much less expensive....

Considering the moon is ~ 1,079 miles in diameter, did you tell her that photo paper doesn't come in the million plus square mile size? Where do you display a picture 4 times the size of Texas.... :wink:

I used my points to pay for part of my Ford Protect extended warranty through Granger.

The problem is apparently obvious if/when it happens. It only happens on start up. If you get the error message, turn off the car, turn it back on - No error message? Voila. Problem solved. It only would be an issue if you were towing a trailer and also ignored the warning, if that...

IIRC, George Carlin said ~ if the guy driving ahead of you is too slow, he's an idiot, and if someone is passing you, they're a maniac. :wink:

ScottyC said: I remember having a conversation with the better half when her commute to work was a 40 minute drive including the NYS Thruway...she felt she should not be using as much gasoline since by going faster, it meant that she was not driving as long therefore reducing the amount of fuel...
