The more light the better. Back when it was just a late-model used car, a friend of mine replaced the high beams on his ‘63 fuely Vette with aircraft landing lights. Each was controlled by a separate switch. They drew so much current that driving slowly when you used them would kill the battery in pretty short order.…

Is there any research you can cite about how long the average car or truck remains at a gas pump? The way current highway rest stops in the US are configured, most people who want to eat park at the restaurant (Mickey D or otherwise), get their food, then move their car to pump gas. Even local stations where I live…

Might interfere? How long has 5G been around? Shouldn’t we be sure? Shouldn’t we have been sure for a long time now?

I am absolutely following your advice.  However, if I’m honest, I really didn’t need you to tell me this.

In theory, those parking lot toll machines are a good idea. I mean I dump all my change into a jar on my dresser. When it’s full, I take it to Coinstar, not to a parking meter.

Where they should have at least considered taking that tank apart and moving it pieces, instead of all at once.

Automotive engineers who design cars with frequently serviced parts that are hard or impossible to service should be sentenced to spend their time in hell working on cars like the ones they designed that way.

I know there are times you can get a better deal on the car if you finance it. Then, if there’s no pre-payment penalty, you can pay the loan off right away.

Were you being sarcastic, or do you actually own a rust-free Jeep?

I don’t have one.  To whom do I complain?

Mechanics should be paid for the number of hours they bill customers using the flat-rate manual.

It certainly ain’t New York.

I learned to drive on an old Ford tractor when I was 10 years old. I had to stand up to depress the clutch. About half the cars I’ve owned were manuals, but currently both my vehicles are automatics, because my wife can’t drive a manual.

If you can’t breathe while wearing a mask, try brushing your teeth more often.

How did you manage to register this? Or did you only tow it on public roads?

A rubber mallet.  I had a flat tire once on my rear wheel.  Couldn’t get the wheel off after removing the lug nuts  I needed a rubber mallet to whack it with, but mine was home in the garage.  Fortunately, the guy who so generously stopped to lend a hand had a mallet with him.  Problem solved.

Completely aside from the old Ford truck (ND by the way), safety regulations made a big difference between a ‘59 and an ‘09 Chevy. If you had a serious front-end crash in a ‘59 Chevy, the engine would wind up in your lap and the steering column would pierce your chest.

It’s not pretty enough to hang on the wall in my den, and there’s no such thing as a cheap Ferrari, not even one that’s been serviced regularly and is in good running condition. This is neither. If the dealer selling it didn’t think it was worth fixing before putting it on the market, you shouldn’t think it’s worth…

I don’t really understand from reading this what your issue(s) was/were. Did you feel unsafe because people had a dismissive attitude toward COVID? Or was there something else? What did 18-wheelers do to bully you? Was there a specific incident that triggered a panic attack?

I’m fortunate that my health insurance does cover prescriptions, but it requires me to use a mail-order pharmacy for maintenance drugs. I’m diabetic. All of my meds are maintenance drugs—90-day supply. Some come in really large bottles. All of my meds go in my carry-on camera backpack, which weighs around 30 pounds.…
