Back in ‘19 Carvana I think it was called me from my craigslist ad for my ‘15 F150.... They lowballed the hell outta me, but I found it interesting they had people trolling the used car market looking for buys.... Makes sense..... And yes, I’m kicking myself knowing that the truck I sold for 32k I could sell with…

I almost bought a Ridgeline, after owning a ‘15 F150.  I LOVED my F150.... But... the constant issues on a truck that cost half of my first house left a bad taste in my mouth.  The Ridgeline would fit the bill, as would the Maverick, for 95% of what I need a truck for.  My problem now is, the Ridgeline has crept into…

Trailer with a generator to charge the other battery!

No DR plan for losing this part of it’s business systems most likely. So you have all of IT and lots of management freaking out trying to respond to the business side of IT being down. Leaving no time, or people, to decide if it’s safe, feasible, or what the processes will be to goto a manual pay system, how to…

I literally helped a woman after a gruesome wreck because of this on Easter sunday. Pushed into oncoming traffic and a Semi hit them. Every passenger, including a child in a car seat was ejected. Child had permanent brain drama. I was sitting there propping the woman up in the middle of the road, she had a compound…

I worked from home almost 6 years prior to the pandemic. I work with a mix of people like me, and people that are in the main office. The one thing that helps with that human interaction/team building - is that I had to travel a bit each year, with different coworkers, for week and some time 2 week long trips. That’s…

Saab 9-2x Aero - they were on slickdeals when they got discontinued, crazy prices and awesome interest rates.  Didn’t buy.... Full out regret...

Car stereo nuts were doing this for years, ribbon cable soldered to the detachable faceplate - and mounting the face plates in rear view mirrors, the sunvisors etc etc.

Why not make an industry standard smart car “drive-bus link” system. For longer drives, you could tail a semi, car, truck, bus whatever, the more people in the system, the more sensors, less chance of failure. If one brakes they all brake etc type of deal. You are now relying on 10+ unreliable humans vs one in an…

Remember snow acts as a noise suppressor, I’m betting being buried + the inherent noise blocker feature of the snow probably meant no one could hear it, especially if they were indoors and not outdoors nearby.

My social studies teacher always told us about the rattle in his door the dealer said they never heard.  After the warranty was up he had new speakers put in the doors, guess what the installer found?  A coke can.....

Perfect example of this - I was interning for a company that made radios for cars in the mid 90's in high school.  We were doing illumination checks of the radio, color intensity and color spectrum, talking HOURS of checks and re-checks on 1 damn radio, for a I think it was 01/02 model car.  They were 5+ years out…

Can’t unsee it now.... cat meowing and backing up as to say “there are clingons near uranus, please help...”

Whats that on your carpet? SHAMWOW do I have a fix!

Fun fact - same happens at steel mills. When we make a specific makeup of steel and pour it in the caster, we want to continuous cast if at all possible, so when that ladle of mix xyz is done, we put the ladle of abc in right behind it, and guess what, that first bar cast in between those two is a mix of god knows…

Hear me out - do NOT use batteries, instead, generators.....  If you really need long haul - extra batteries in the trailer may not cut it.  Many RV’s already have generators, instead work on a standard interface like you suggested to the trailer hitch that allows the generator to charge the battery, better yet maybe…

Does it happen to be a long bed v6?  If so interested! lol

They reached out to me this time last year, I had my truck on craigslist before trading it in and the saw the ad and offered to buy it. The dealer was about 4k higher on my truck then them, and all the tire kickers on craigslist no one actually came through. The trade in + tax relief from doing the trade outweighed…

Not being snarky - but I saw multiple videos where protesters busted the back and side windows out on the cop cars.

If it was affordable I’d 100% drop an electric powertrain in it, but for now it’ll likely get a LS....
