We rented a Hertz GT 350 in Phoenix and it was hilarious good fun. Idled like a big block, speed “shifted” with perfect cacophony of screaming V8 can’t touch this! Borla System. On and off with the flick of a switch. Volume “adjustable”.

Chasing the evening sun is my daily task.

As I tend to travel late hours, most of my charging station access is after 7 pm and it’s rare to see a Tesla or EA station with anything more than 1-3 EVs. And thus no negative interactions. Good discussions with other Lighting, Audi, Tesla, Rivian owners and of note is the slow rise of new...

I had the alignment checked and it was in spec. I did take those corners hard. Not quite tire squealing but close 😬! Cambers a good question .. our Sport Trac Adrenalin had ever so slight negative camber but my wife still wiped out a set of Pirelli Scorpions in 25K miles. I had these rotated...

I imagine a HAL-Dave conversation where I want to cross a uniform featureless field and the truck responds “I’m sorry… but you cannot go there”. Then I switch to decimal coordinates and the truck responds “You are communicating accurately now”.

o_O Yikes.

It’s reported but unconfirmed that a strange man posing as me may have accidentally backed the Lightning into a cyclone fence.

Here’s a 40K Hankook and typical of four regularly rotated front to back. As my commute includes 36 X 2 x 5 x 200 curves daily driven (70,000 in nearly 2 years), the outside edges really got worn (lead foot? 😬🤪). As all four were worn like this and I damned near totaled the truck on an icy...

I too would never tell a tall tale of towing a 24’ I/O boat and casually saying to my father “I don’t think the winch latched.. that boat looks to be going backward”.

For your consideration 😱 Ton - Wikipedia What is a long ton vs short ton? As a unit of mass, ton can mean: the long ton, which is 2,240 pounds (1,016.0 kilograms) the tonne, also called the metric ton, which is 1,000 kilograms (about 2,204.6 pounds) or 1 megagram. the short ton, which is...

Ok. Driving in our farm field and ran over a chunk of concrete. Ouch! Then entering a work zone and got crowded by an oncoming car rolling near the centerline. Moved over and the passenger mirror clipped the outer left most point of the diamond at 40 mph. Folded the mirror but.,, never broke...

A few things about my 40V Ryobi which was a floor model languishing end of ‘22 season advertised “discount” and negotiated w/floor manager for ~$145 w/battery. Amazing unit. I mulch mow. Keep blades tomato sharp Run the cut 1” or so higher than “normal. Keep deck under side clean which means...

I sympathize, my 80 year-old Ford 9N still kicking!

We’ve had a Ryobai 40V walk behind mower for several years and the 55” 24 hp lawn tractor only gets used occasionally for the backyard big stuff. BE weed whacker, chain saw, hedge trimmer, all compatible batteries. I too have about 10 gallons on hand for the pressure washer, lawn tractor but...

Yeah, the market trends are already showing “more well heeled households” tightening up on purchase decisions and that means a big GDP impact for this year, next year. Any impact will roil the midterms. Hold on! Going to be weird!

You made me look. Dang, good condition well maintained pushing six figures

In a weird way it makes me want a DeLorean more.

Is that the big screen average or miles/kWh average? I find the big screen average is.. optimistic with Miles traveled/kWh on recharge to be the most accurate.

I do. The data is so variable as I can leave the garage and the outside temp is say 53 F. In 20 miles it drops to 38 F. Then up to 45 in another 24 miles. Worse, those early spring afternoons can be high 60’s, low 70’s. I suspect wet pavement also impacts efficiency. I’ve done multivariate...

Yes. Noticeable difference in the morning. However, I don’t precondition in afternoon.
