If we are correcting disinformation, lets also make sure we get this out there: Trump lost, the election wasn’t stolen, he is a shitty human being.

As for converting from 12v to 48v.... Dont hold your breath I was heavy into car audio back in the early 90's and I remember magazines dedicated to warning us installers that it was coming and we’d need new test tools, amps, headunits etc etc would all have to be 12v and 48v etc etc.  Hasn’t happened yet....  Given…

Source? Because all semi-modern toyota’s have a 10yr 100k mile battery warranty and in certain states its 150k 15 year...

I’d read that also but all the local Yoda dealers here have 5-10 cars max.... One has a crap ton of used parked in the normal new car area... it’s crazy looking.... Fancy new toyota dealership looking like a buy-here-pay-here lot...

So my 2016 CX-5, bought it last Aug, just sold it to carvana for 2k more than I paid.  It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Toyota has 5500 off MSRP on toyota prius prime’s in the NE region.  That, plus dealer dropped it 1k, plus 4600 tax credit.  Dumped the CX-5, which had 70k miles, for a brand new car for net same…

I’ll 2nd this..... I was at Midas last week for “simple” exhaust fix. They circled 3 parts I needed and quoted $476 for the repair. 2 problems with what they quoted. 1. They had the wrong engine selected for my car and would have ordered wrong parts. 2. The correct parts, were $45 shipped from Rockauto (an…

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!
