Yeah!

I thought they were complaining about a drought that would last a century less than a month ago.

Not really. Because you can hear and see if an engine is bad. A battery is silent. Also, I went with a non-PHEV hybrid largely because a battery replacement is affordable and cost effective. Transmissions are a little more iffy, but I’ve learned to be a pretty good judge of them over time, and until my knee started…

It’s dangerous for people to walk in the drive-thru, and you can bet the restaurant would be sued even when it’s another customer that ran them over.

My hybrid turns off the engine at stops, and because the HVAC is run off electricity, it keeps on blowing cold air in the summer.

But maybe not convenient to charging a car.

That’s the upper 20% 62, the one

So I’m a delivery driver who does around 30k a year. Here’s my issue with electric cars (I drive a hybrid right now and love it.) I need about 225 miles of range every day. I actually generally need about 175 but you never know when a day is going to be busy, and you might go an extra 50 miles. I also live 25 miles…

Speaking of dizzying, I had to drive my college group project group back from interviewing a business for a presentation in the US van version of this. There was a strong crosswind that day, and driving this thing was like piloting a boat on rough seas, impossible to keep in moving in a straight line, and constantly…

Tell me more.

I got some for 3.50 a gallon at Wal-Mart, but I use it to winterize my boat (we get a couple of mild freezes a year, so I’m not worried about performance at 30 below zero.)

I believe it is Uliteefee in Yurrop.

Exactly.

Was he also carrying a Bofors or an Oerlikon? No? Then I don’t think a couple of rounds of ammo is going to matter that much.

Yep, I don’t think airing down is the thing to do in clearly not deep snow.

Spark plug wires?  What car still has those? /s

I drove 1 e36 BMW to 220k, and a different one to 320k miles.

I’d actually say most modern cars can make it 200k.  My Ford C-Max has 245k miles on it right now, and has been the most economical car I’ve ever delivered in.

A note about Southerners:  Yes we have less experience.  We also don’t have winter weather tires.  Plus, wet ice is hard to drive on no matter what you have - and wet ice is frequently what we end up with.  Also a hazard in the south is Northerners who recently transplanted and think they have snow driving mastered,…

Strange that cities can set fixed rates for taxi companies, but they can’t do the same for tow companies.
