I leave it on the 2nd closest setting for highway use. The closest setting is still too far for city traffic. I wouldn't get anywhere with people constantly cutting into the gap.

If it's a manual so you can push start it. A battery probably won't work. And maybe a diesel so you can run it on vegetable oil. It's not like you can fill it up at a gas station. In these hypothetical situations I would rule out cars completely. I can use my bicycle to travel hundreds of miles...

Average age of a new car buyer is about 53. Low price and perceived safety is a big draw for the "my kid turned 16 and i want them to be in something safe" Fatalities both inside and outside the car are trending up overall. It's the highest now in 15 years.

The dealer replaces batteries? Mine failed like 3 weeks after a dealer service showed it to be normal. I swapped it myself. It was like 60k miles, though.

The hybrid ecoboost 1.5 and 2.0 are Changan Ford. So who knows if they would ever make their way here.

I did the plugs myself. Very easy. One of them wasn't torqued to spec from the factory.

They did the TSB for $700. It still kinda shudders but I'll let it be.

Another electric truck for the Whole Foods parking lot. Yawn.

I had the vent hose replaced today. I assumed they changed the oil as well because according to them the noise is gone. I'll see when I get home. This is just another reason I don't want AWD for my next car.

Is it correlated with filling up? I had this on another Ford but only after a filling up with new gas.

Mazda has android/apple integration without touch screens.

I am tech savvy and I hate screens in cars. They made it illegal to text and drive back when you could blind type on a T9 keyboard Nokia. But now it's ok to have a 30 inch touch screen right in front of you. I just feel like majority of people hate the act of driving and want to be distracted by...

This might be crazy but perhaps the US is not competitive in making cars within the free market capitalist world economy. China makes 30 million cars a year. That's 3 times more than US. It's more than every other country combined. They probably just got good at it.

My friend messaged me today to remind me it's a 23 year anniversary of our friendship. Back on that crazy awful day we stuck together to figure out how to get home after school. The A train ran under the buildings and those tunnels collapsed. We walked the city to look for a working train. The...

We got cheap gas and drive long distances. It's a hard proposition for majority of Americans.

I did the pads and rotors myself and went with a different brand. It stopped whining.

That Mondeo/Contour had a v6 and that was the first time Ford used the ST badge in EU. Speaking of which, has a Ford world car ever been a success in US? Escort, Fiesta, EcoSport? Successful models around the world brought to US just for Americans to buy the F150 anyways.

All these bicycles made by car companies always look awful. Lotus being an exception. The price seems competitive but it would better spent with a reputable brand.

I don't like EVs. They exist to game the system. And the system is designed to be taken advantage of. They expect fleet wide average to be like 40 mpg. Well that's how we will have one Shelby GT500 and five 8000lb EVs. Late stage capitalism, y'all.

This country is getting less argrarian and yet ...
