Agree . . . maintenance and not over-taxing the vehicle are most important, but a short warm up and cool down don’t cost anything and turbo, or not, I’d never go full bore on a cold engine.

Randy, you need shorter legs! <lmao>

Have same ‘21 BSBL with low mileage (retired). Every time my mind wanders to new cars/trucks I slap myself and repeat the mantra five times, “Paid for, runs great, perfect for me”. 🤪

Have a plastic??? case on my iPhone which slightly wraps over the front bezel. This must insulate the phone from the pad. My charging pad never activates, phone never gets warm, when placed face down on the pad. Have done this for four years+ with drives lasting as much as 8-10 hours without a...

Unfortunately, I don’t think you can mount really functional front tow hooks on any BS except BL. The BL has brackets welded behind the bumper that don’t exist on the other trims. Without those brackets there’s no way to reinforce the tow hooks to take the strain of pulling on them. This was one...

Yup, I’ve got one like that; holds me up every year . . . and this year’s no different!

Posted this before, but here it is again . . . Lay phone on pad face down; it won’t activate charger, so can even be wired for charging. Unless you need to see the screen this solves the storage and charging problem, and I think “all“ phone functions can be accessed from the infotainment screen.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy it all while you can — don’t miss a thing!! After double heart-attack at 60, things have kinda’ gone downhill, and at 77 I wish I’d done much more, much sooner.

All these deletions/changes are one reason I’m still driving my ’21 BL. I’ve worked around the charger and keep my door opener in the sunglass cubby; won’t part with the folding rear headrests, rear gate button, and rear floods. Don’t put thousands of miles on per month, have extended warranty...

Maybe it’s just me . . . but I see some problems with changing ASS, so I just have to keep trying to remember to ”push the button” before it shuts off the first time: 1. I don’t have the necessary laptop/software and I don’t want to buy them just for that. 2. Nothing is free . . . the dealer...

Yup, that one is cabin air . . . the one up front at the grill is engine air.

I like this color, but my wife would leave me if I ordered one 😜

I understand your dilemma. One of my rears went bad at about 30,000 miles (but past 36 mos). Both rears were replaced under my extended warranty. Now, at 45,000 miles and 5 years, all is fine. I have to decide if I need a new shock now do I go with OEM (that extended warranty thing) or upgrade...

Sorry to hear about your wife, and hope for a swift recovery. Almost any furry critter is God’s gift to us. We’ve always been dog folks, but now have a cat (who still doesn’t like me a lot <lol>) that was/is feral and my wife took in about 3 months ago — she’s now completely a house cat (she’s...

Yeah, the only time I went to a doctor was if I got injured on the job, or a “new hire physical”. Then one day it happened — everything “went to s**t” and now it’s multiple doctors and tests every three months . . . ah, the golden years 🤬
