Exactly what I was thinking: Show us the prescription. You don’t need a prescription for clear film to block UV, if you have a history of skin cancer. The way you can get a prescription for tint, to block visible light, is if you have a condition that makes you photosensitive, such as...

I’ve been seeing this reported quite a bit in my city for the last year or so on the Ring Neighbors app. People post their stories and post their Ring camera footage. One person lost 2 cars in one night. This happened about a month ago and they posted the videos. Here’s how it went down: a...

Yup. In probabilities, it’s risk 1 x risk 2 x risk 3, etc to get the final probability. So 0.001% chance of a battery with thermal runaway x 0.1% chance of the vent tube being disconnected x 0.01% chance of him leaving the windows rolled up despite a nauseating, putrid smell = a .000001% chance...

iirc, the oem windows are .70 transmittance in the front and .20 in the rear. When I got my Maverick tinted, I went with the installer’s recommendation of .30 tint, making the fronts visually match the rears. .70 oem glass x .30 aftermarket tint = .21 transmittance compared to .20 in the oem...

That’s a big NOPE. Visible light doesn’t cause cancer. Ultraviolet does. Llumar air series and 3M crystalline series block 99% of UV light while blocking nearly 0% of visible light. And those don’t require a prescription from a medical doctor to use. And they don’t break state and local laws...

Ok, fair enough. I thought you meant a short in the car’s wiring, causing a massive discharge of a healthy battery, not an internal short in a damaged battery, leading to a thermal runaway. A thermal runaway of a lead acid battery would indeed produce a lot of H2S in a short period of time that...

This is normal. All manufacturers do this. The likely answer is that they did focus groups and the focus groups reported that the majority of people, were the most satisfied with the vehicle, when the the “lie-o-meter” was overstating the MPG, and were the least happy with it, when it was...

A short, as in a high drain on the battery? No. That would lower the battery voltage. H2S is made when driving the battery voltage very high, such as when your NOCO genius battery charger is put in desulfation mode and it’s driving 16 volts into a 12 volt battery.

It doesn’t move like a turn signal. You have to pull it toward you, then move it up or down. I tried to move it like a turn signal the first time I drove it, and it wouldn’t shift. Once the salesman told me how to operate it, it worked like a charm. Feels perfectly natural and takes no effort...

This is just a confluence of bad luck. 1) a properly functioning battery and charging system should never make H2S. When charging, normally, batteries off gas H2 and O2, which is highly flammable, but not toxic to humans. Releasing H2S is a symptom of overcharging and damaging the battery. 2)...

Gross. This is the shifter for a ‘24 Blazer. Both are midsized crossover SUV’s from GM, same model year, but they are 2 decades apart in design language.

Agreed. That trail is kind of maxing out the Tremor. And would obviously be best with a trail buddy in another 4x4 to assist with recoveries. I did it in a jeep, with my local off-road club when I lived in Bakersfield. But the scenery is SO COOL. Maybe email a local off-road group in ridgecrest...

For me, it’s always EV for work commute, and ecoboost Maverick for everything else. Recently traded in my 140k mile Tesla and got this AWD 24 blazer EV RS with clean carfax for $26k The Maverick uses about 10 tanks of gas per year. My solar panels completely cover my house and the EV...

Dude. Your comment. You are owning the libs.

I didn’t watch the video because I’m in a building with little cell signal. If you didn’t do this already, you should go to Last Chance Canyon, Bickel Camp and the Bonanaza Gulch post office. Check out Google images for a preview.

Ouch. That sucks. My buddy’s wife sideswiped someone‘s car recently in traffic by not checking her blind spot. This is her BMW X5: It was totaled. Insurance paid out $40k. This is the Range Rover she hit: Payout on the Range Rover is unknown. My buddy replaced the X5 with a new X7. This...

This was eaxctly my thought. it looks like an edge strike. Glass is prone propagating long cracks from minor strikes at the very edge of the glass.

Ok exactly. $26k insurance payout on a vehicle that was $23k new is pretty amazing.

Meh. That’s just observer bias. Lots of people post pics of their 25 Mav because they are excited that they just got it. Everyone with 22, 23 and 24 Mavs are still making the majority of the posts. They’re just not posting pics, because they already done that in the past.

On a similar note, has anyone put Shandong Haohua Kapsen tires on their maverick?
