It took me about 10 minutes to setup the car to wirelessly tether to my Android. It works automagically now using a Tasker routine.

I’m probably going to be the only one here with this take. I have a GM with the Android Automotive dash. I also have wireless Carplay and wireless Android Auto. I have tried them all. I do prefer the included Android Automotive. For me it has been a good experience. I tether my phone data plan to the car and where I…

My favorite is the Georgia City just North of Alpharetta.

Or if the alternator belt has left the chat (as long as it is not also the water pump belt). I've been there. Hoped I could get home but died about a mile from home. Carried back a lawn tractor battery and jumper cables charged up the old truck battery for a bit and ended up driving the last mile on that.

I’d prefer to know cost per mile. That makes it even better. 12 years back I had a Prius that you could input the cost of fuel and the trip computer displayed cents/mile. That was the most useful. Even given GPHM number isn’t useful if fuel cost is different. At one point in the recent past I had a car that ran on…

After having a coupe without the ability to tilt the seats manually forward (only power seat backs) I'd take yours instead. I miss the old flip and slide seats of the past.

I drove 4 states away to get a Lyriq with the other "grill" and not have that interrupted pattern.

Oh, no! How will the Swiss Army ever defend itself?

I can’t look at any article like this and not think about the total cost of vehicle ownership. A few years back I had a car I paid $15K for. In 4 years I had put $15K in fuel in the tank. I got an EV and had a free charger at work (I know that may be not typical) so a $30K EV made sense for me. Also getting rid of a…

I occasionally ride my bike with a Campy group that’s over 50 years old. It’s satisfyingly mechanical and direct.

That’s an odd place for all those Bolts to be. I drive through there every few weeks. I wonder if the Siemens facility in Fort Payne has anything to do with all the Bolts. 

Is your utility trailer named Coyote? Can you use the F-150 Lobo to pull a Coyote trailer north across the border?

My B-I-L has a single cab short box Silverado because modern trucks don't fit his garage. Every time I've ridden with him recently, someone asks him if he wants to sell it. 

The “pressure plates” you speak of for detecting traffic are probably inductive loops. They detect a vehicle as the vehicle becomes part of the inductive circuit.

Great answer! My non-haptic touch pad hazard button works independently of the ignition and any other button or touchscreen.

What’s the requirement? I am just curious. My car just has a non-haptic touch “button” next to the touchscreen. I'm pretty sure it's capacitive because it doesn't work with normal gloves on. 

The CL ad doesn’t say no lowballers. He must know he has to put that on there. I can’t afford $12,750. I’m totally offering $10,000.

NeEDs moAr oAKleyz! 

The 4xe in my garage is about 50% cheaper to drive on electric but my electric is pretty cheap. I'm debating adding some solar panels to make it even cheaper. 

I started installing car alarms in 1988. I had a customer with a G-body that came in with a broken steering wheel. It had a new steering column. It had been stolen off the customer’s carport by teenagers and taken joyriding, 3 times. After the 2nd time, he had bought “The Club”. The thief just used the hammer they…
