Be nice if they were chips heading for Hermosillo!

There are available, online, turn signals that replace the black side “vents” (where it says XL, XLT, or LARIAT). They light up white, changing to flashing amber when signaling. All great reviews, except for one that says it screws with a computer. That stops me. I was looking for a hitch light...

Living in an oceanside town, those pics scare the hell out of me! But………good way to wash the salt off!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that if you have the side mirror turn signals, you lose the blind spot monitoring signal.

With all due respect, son……….. Even in our 70’s………. The Greatest Generation was that of OUR fathers. Not us! Proud of my Dad!

In 1978 I bought a new Honda Accord. Two or three years later, Honda notified me that the front fenders were apt to rust. So they sent me to a body shop where they put on 2 new fenders, painted and blended into the surrounding areas, and sent me on my way. Proactive!

In the military it was called Cosmoline, I believe.

What sins? Look great from here! Make sure to leave vent system on floor heat, temp all the way down. As air exits high, let it in as low as possible.

OUCH!!

Absolutely correct. So the best we can do, hybrid or otherwise, is to avoid expending any more energy than is necessary to accomplish our journey. FOOT CONTROL!

Hills are inefficient. When you get right down to it, there’s no beating gravity. You cannot gain back, going downhill, what you expended climbing that hill. That’s approaching perpetual motion. Sorry, but the most efficient terrain to traverse is straight and level.

“Push the charge down the road”…….. Sure……….then charge longer, to make up the difference. Percent? Like this…….a few weeks back…….

Cruise control is very easy to beat, anticipation being the major reason. Help it along going downhill; ease off in the subsequent climb. Biggest thing? No jackrabbit starts. For the most part, strive to keep it below the 20% power mark. You’ll still be able to cruise at 70-75. Just went over...

Trip 1 was all my mileage up to a bit over 1500 miles. Trip 2 was all the miles since I got the truck. Third pic is combined. About 2 weeks ago. Done a few more miles since. Now my total average is up to 49.5 mpg. Real world driving. 30% highway (60-80); 30% city (10-35); 40% back roads (35-60)

By the way……. I give that “L” button quite a workout. Book says that it may be engaged at any speed. Watch the needle dip WAY down into the green. But , like on a bike, I find myself wanting to push it again for a further downshift. But, only get the one. Like my Dad’s ’66 283 Powerglide. Only...

Over the last 2 days, brought some gravel home. First time I wanted 1/4 ton. Volume wasn’t enough, so I had another 1/4 ton added. Next day, today, got 1/2 ton right off the bat. Volume seemed bigger than yesterday, and there was a difference in the feel. I started off in “haul” mode. As I...

Spook, With all due respect………… Speak for yourself. This boomer (73.5) wants a stick ALL times, ALL conditions. One with the vehicle. If one could only figure out how to cross a hybrid with a stick. LOVE my 49.3mpg (so far)! That’s for ALL 3600 miles I’ve put on her.

Still doesn’t tell me how you know………….

You can actually see the down-angle of the tailgate, relative to the bed rails.

Brought some brush to the dump. While there, a guy threw away all of this firewood. While it’s pushing 90 today, winter is coming. This is about 3 days worth of heat for my house.
