Big Clive is the go-to guy for figuring out electronics and South Main Auto is the place to see it applied to cars. I’ll give Dan a try, but he’s up against some terrific sources.

The right to repair stuff cannot come into fruition at the federal level soon enough.

I dig it. Starting at 100k is both saddening, and not surprising.

Uh-huh, it’s one thing to appear in a horror flick—not unlike all the extras populating a scene—but it’s quite another to be the star car:

Targeted marketing makes me nauseous, and it’s only getting worse now that streaming platforms know exactly what race, gender, and sexual orientation you are. As for cultural lingo, isn’t that always how it works, though? Black people or gay people have a phrase unique to us, then younger white people pick up on it,…

We’re about 20 years away from the first iteration of Elysium.

You must REALLY actively avoid NFL and NBA broadcasts then. They are the pandering kings of all media.

You know what’s sad? A new intake manifold was on her list for the restoration of this car. The next set of repairs were supposed to be it, along with fixing the air suspension in back and struts up front.

Oh you bet we’re talking to the previous mechanic. They’ve denied responsibility and have offered two rather incredible explanations for the engine’s death.

I feel your pain. I had a 3800 V6 do the same to me about 200 miles from my destination while driving through North Carolina :(

If you get it right you don’t even need the oil changes at Jiffy Lube anymore. Your engine develops self-changing oil, i.e. it burns enough of it that you just put a quart in every two thousand miles or so and it’s fine.

The LSS now had new tires, spark plugs, wires, PCV valve, belts, EGR, throttle body and a coolant flush.

In the shock and trauma of having just hit a large animal, he continued on home without stopping in order to assess the damage. The animal was already dead when he returned and likely would have been even by the time authorities came - which, not being a big priority, could’ve been long after the deer keeled over…

“...recorded on the Model 3, Y, S, and X.”

Looks like the Typical Bro-Dozer on the Interstate

For all the 700hp, it took a long time to pass that yellow Autobianchi. Also, who would have expected a Volvo 340 at the Ring?

It’s a hell of a coup pulled off by global power that has convinced people to be this engaged in blaming and fighting their fellow workers while the corporations and governments actually directly responsible for these issues continue to skate scott free. I guess self-destruction is what we get in place of revolution.

It runs on the ride height sensor in the rear end so yes it will consider the total weight over the rear axle.

I’m assuming it’s a height sensor on the rear suspension, so there’s no reason it wouldn’t be able to factor in all of those things.

Oh I know. We have them here.
