    Truck in for service: No loaner vehicles available.

    Funny story about a loaner car I got once....back in 1989/1990, I had just discharged from the Navy and bought a new Volkswagen Golf. Immediately upon driving off the lot it was apparent something was wrong with the car. I turned around and brought it back to the dealership. They provided me...

    Calling all IMSA Fans...

    I am not too far from Sebring and have been to the race a couple of times. It is great to watch on TV, but nothing like seeing it in person.

    So my bride asked me a really dumb question...

    Speaking of dumb questions from the wife: Prior to hanging the lights on the house for Christmas, I stretched each strand out on the lawn and tested them. All worked. I hung the lights and tested again after they were up. All worked. That night, when we went to look at the lights after it...

    Car alarm going off randomly

    Still here and still concerned. I did some more poking around on line and found a way to manually disable the alarm by turning the key in the door twice to the right. There is no audible indication that the alarm is disabled, but it didn't go off last night (also, it wasn't as cold last night)...

    Anyone 'fast' for weight loss or other reasons?

    What you eat, when you eat it, where you eat, why you eat it. None of that matters. Weight loss is a math problem, nothing more, nothing less. As long as you burn more calories in a over a given period of time than you consume, you will loose weight. It really is that easy. If you eat 3500...

    Car alarm going off randomly

    This happened again last night and for some reason, it only seems to happen in the wee hours of the morning. The alarm on my 2019 F250 will go off randomly. I say random, but there is one thing in common. It only happens when there are temperature changes or it gets cold out. Since I live in...

    What Happens When a Rivian EV Runs Out of Battery Charge?

    My dad bought a VW Dasher diesel (a rabbit station wagon) back around 1980. That was his car, then it became my older sisters car, then it became mine. We drove the wheels off that thing. After 20+ years, the entire car essential disintegrated around a perfectly functioning drivetrain.

    What Happens When a Rivian EV Runs Out of Battery Charge?

    I have a 2019 VW Jetta that I bought as a relatively inexpensive commuter car. My commute to work is mostly country roads with only a few stop lights or stop signs. I drive between 45 and 55mph the whole way. It is 26 miles each way to work. The Jetta will average 50-55mpg on the drive (at...

    Anyone know what this tool is?

    Looks like Doc Brown's first attempt at a flux capacitor.

    Whose happy with their standby generator....

    I agree. I have a portable generator that is large enough to run the fridge, lights, and a roll around a/c unit (you may not need it in Canada, but it is a must-have in FL). I had an electrician install a plug that would allow the generator to run my well....showers are also a must in FL when...

    I'm in Miami and having a blast

    Not too far from Miami you can get on Tamiami Trail (part of US41)which turns into a loooooooong straight two lane road that crosses the everglades. It may take you a while to get out to the boonies, but you will certainly be able to open up the Mustang and see what it can do out there. Beware...

    I'm in Miami and having a blast

    If you have the time, take a road trip down the Florida Keys. The Overseas Highway is beautiful. Stop at Alabama Jacks on Card Sound Rd on your way down. A great dive bar with some local flavor. Jump Zone, an 80's movie with Wesley Snipes used Alabama Jack's as a film set. Also, stop at the...

    What if a disaster happened right now?

    In about a month, I will refill all of my fuel jugs in prep for hurricane season. I will have enough on hand to keep the generator running for about 2 weeks, this will power the house and my well. Plus a couple of jugs of diesel to keep my truck moving for a few weeks. I will also stockpile...
