The sediment thing is true, and it’s due to crap/fuel ratio, plus how liquids slosh around.  When the tank is half full, the sediment at the bottom of the tank doesn’t move around very much, and represents a small portion of the total volume moving through the tank.  When there is a tiny layer of liquid at the bottom,…

My C-Max is a little weird like this, too. First the yellow fuel warning comes on, then a red one will come on at about 30 miles left, but then it goes away at about 25 miles and we go back to yellow. Finally at about 10-15 miles left it goes and stays red. I have driven the car for about 10 miles past the range=0…

I’m guessing the fuel pump thing was due to the manufacturers putting that info in the owner’s manual when FI started becoming standard on cars.  I know of a few Japanese cars that have separate gauges for when your fuel level it really low, but they point out if your gas level is that low you should have already put…

Don’t knock it.

My 69 Beetle didn’t have one either.

I actually have an almost identical 330CI (down to the color). I have had 2 BMW convertibles previously. Both had tan interiors, my current one has a black interior, and it almost led me to not buy it for the very reason you mentioned. However, I have discovered that it really isn’t the issue you think.

I live in rural eastern NC, and saw one last week.

I worked at a gas station when I went to college for a year. It was a full service station, but no convenience store. We had a bathroom (well, one male/one female,) access controlled by keys, and I was instructed not to worry about cleaning them because I was the only person there. Still, when I arrived at work to…

And the Mustang II became the most popular because the rack was easier to install than the steering box on the other ones.

I owned an Audi 200 (which is a renamed 5k.) Most of the problem was in fact people putting their foot on the wrong pedal. However, I did a little experiment of my own. I put my foot firmly on the brake pedal. I then put my foot on the gas pedal and gave it some throttle, not full. It was in fact virtually impossible…

Nope, My family had shitty Pintos and Mustang II’s back in the day, they were in fact crap-mobiles. The rack and pinion was great, but it’s so popular because it was the first domestic rack and pinion produced in mass quantities available for use, and there were SO many available in junkyard because the Pinto and…

So we’re in the middle of pollen season #1 here in eastern NC.  Right now I have a white car, a dark blue car, a medium grey car and a dark charcoal truck.  Pollen is most visible on the truck, followed by the dark blue car, then the grey car and lastly the white car.

Even my hybrid (Ford C-Max) has massively less maintenance than any ICE car I’ve had before. Engine related (because all cars will have suspensions wear out and tires need to be replaced) repairs are oil changes every 10k miles, it’s needed spark plugs, 1 coil, 1 heater hose and a 12V battery. Oh, and the big one -…

Part of the overall problem with this country telling everyone they can be a college graduate and have a white collar job, and we’ll happily give you a loan to make your dreams happen.  Meanwhile the trades are suffering massive shortages in workers.

Nope, talk to any body man, they tell you white hides stuff better.  I know it doesn’t sound right, but most dirt is in fact light tan.

Any list of this sort that doesn’t include some aspect of DC is clearly wrong.  But I will agree with the Ft Lee, I waited for about 2-3 hours on a early Friday afternoon to make it about 3 miles.  Once across the GW traffic started flowing just fine.  It didn’t help that I didn’t have an EZ Pass so I had to go…

My initial guess would be the cost of property acquisition has shot up so quickly over the past couple of years.

White actually hides dirt/dust/pollen the best of any color.

Yeah, it’s black, white and silver/grey now.

In the nomenclature of the time, a coupe wouldn’t have a pillar between the front and rear windows, while a 2 door sedan would.
