@Ecorydr A plug kit is a lot better alternative, and will fix any flat that the goop will. I wouldn't use the goop either. A good reason NOT to use the goop is that they have a great track record of ruining your TPMS sensor in the tire, so on top of the $10 - $20 patch job, add a Benjamin to...

The best part of San Francisco is watching it shrink in the rear view mirror.

Try a search on "speed differential increases higher risk of accidents" and you will get page fulls of links. I'll leave that up to you. The problem isn't that trucks driving slowly is a cause, it's the fact that slow and faster vehicles on the same road is an accident cause, and California...

I'm of the opinion that the spare tire delete has been based more on weight reduction to improve the CAFE numbers than cost savings. That, and the fact that fewer people these days could successfully change a tire in their life depended on it. Tires have also improved considerably, and often...

My sister had a boyfriend in the Navy who drove frequently from California to the Navy Information Operations Command in Aurora, Colorado. He shoehorned a Ford 427 into his British 2 seater to make for a faster commute. At the time, there were no Colorado speed limits either at the time...

A factor in the risk / speed equation is that severe accidents are very often caused by vehicles with a differential in speed. A group of vehicles going 75 is safer than a mix of faster cars passing slower cars. This has been proven in numerous studies and reveals that California's 55 for...

There are no federal speed laws that apply to interstates. Speed limits are set by individual states. The National Maximum Speed Limit was repealed in 1995, allowing states to determine their own speed limits. In California, the speed limit approaching Arizona is 65, and in AZ it's 75 on the...

@chrisofpa A little bit of keeping on top of things can end up saving a lot of money. If a contract is signed that has an automatic renewal clause for a set period, you're on the hook. Like you said, the "free" option often (always?) comes with strings attached. Does your "lifetime" price...

SO the lady in the Buick was in a hurry, but she'll be on time for her funeral. Too bad she took another person with her. I was sitting first in line stopped at a light in Phoenix. 3 lanes in each direction. Behind me and to my right was a line of cars, most were likely getting on the freeway...

Many state laws have a similar statement to this: "No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation, because of a grade, or compliance with the law." My dad...

Yes and no. True, the same currency symbol ($) is used, but the US Dollar predates the Peso. The dollar was first introduced as the official currency as a coin in 1792. The first United States paper dollar was printed in 1862 as part of the Legal Tender Notes issued by the federal government...

Many subscriber services do that "convenience" feature for you.. It's customer service in the animal husbandry sense. You make a point worth noting, that with an expiration date, there is almost always a discount that disappears, and it's typically buried in the 14 pages of legalize that you...

After a few years of being a general forum related to Mavericks in general, the new MTC could well be your latest online used car dealership specializing in gently used, low mileage vehicles with innocuous issues at discount prices... Most major currencies accepted... :wink:

How did you make out? DId you get a human or a bot?

Having never ridden a BMW bike, I am unable to judge the "clunk" comparison. Perhaps there is a difference between a BMW and Hondas, Suzuki's, and Kawasakis, but they also every one, clunked. It's not so much the transmissions themselves, as the entire chain drive that clunks when the clutch...

Obviously "someone" cares or the badges would never be sold, but they are. One of those someone's could be a guy deciding if your car needs chains. :wink:

Fortunately, they haven't eliminated the wheels for a big cost save.

My free trial was about to expire and I got an email telling me I could get 3 months for $2. I took them up on the offer. When that's up in May, I'll call to cancel by talking to their cancellations department and would settle for $3 per month maximum, ( but I'll tell them $2/month) or I'll...

You could say the AWD badge is showroom advertising, and it is, but AWD/4WD visibility has the practical benefit of typically get you around the chain up line in snow country, provided you also have tires installed that have the logo of the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake on them ( 3PMSF ). You...

Every motorcycle I've ever ridden clunks into gear.. It's due to the clutch design.
