I just track my maintenance in a spreadsheet, date, mileage, cost, part numbers, everything. I’ve handed over a printed copy to new owners who always appreciate the single sheet rather than a stack of papers. Looking down the sheet you can quickly see all the oil change intervals, and basic info on everything done,…
This is a nice story. I think personally, I could never hand a car like that over - with so much personal importance - to a company to make major changes, without being deeply involved in the decisions. Like, what if she hates the headlights, or the roof rack, or the seats? Maybe they asked her questions along the…
Around here that truck would be $10k and rusty, so that’s part of my appeal. That, and I would love a camper on the back of a truck but realistically, wouldn’t use it as a camper 360 days out of the year. So... having a regular cap with all that useable space seems great. We could go skiing and just have the kids…
I kind of actually want this.
I remember boat trailers being required to have these lights (3 anyway) underneath if the trailer width was over 80" and before LED lights they were always broken, water-filled, rusty, shorted out, missing or several of the above.
In this country we will have parents who:
Even in my ‘72 Ford F100 where the ignition switch wiring was all easily accessed with a couple simple tools, it still wasn’t as simple as twisting two wires together and touching a third to start the engine.
And then your carefully calculated trajectory to meet a bolt of lightning at exactly the right moment still works out even though you leave the start line super late...
lol. Real life romantic comedy: Boy meets girl. Never has the courage to ask her out. Spends the rest of his lonely life stalking her on facebook.
Having had an ‘01 and an ‘03, I was confused by this:
I know what you all are thinking. “Dammit, that is the one BMW I would have bought!” No, you wouldn’t—you would have bought one used with a certified warranty after they depreciated to the point where they were more affordable.
No one said it was perfectly scientific; I thought it was interesting, and surprising, in the context of a comment about 4wd making no difference in braking. Show me a similar - or better - comparison of 4wd and 2wd braking that shows otherwise.
I mean, it’s been solved in so many different ways over the years, not even all “manually shifted transfer case 4WD” systems are the same. Not all LSDs are the same. Not all torque vectoring systems are the same. Even two Subarus of the same year, make, and model, if one is an automatic and the other is manual, they…
I gave this person a link to the Team O’Neil video showing exactly this, but it was dismissed as not being scientific enough.
No one said it’s a perfectly-controlled experiment; it’s just an interesting real-world result of a mechanical design that contradicts a tiny piece of something you said. Also I’m generally agreeing with you.
Mostly true, and I fully agree that tires are way more important in particular with stopping or turning. However, this was surprising:
I’m just beyond impressed that it drove out the rest of the way under its own power.
