Never ridden in a Genesis, but they do look nice. I believe there was a column on this site that warned against a particular year of the Genesis with a V8.

It is true that modern vehicles are exponentially more safe than older vehicles and the misconception you noted is definitely real. One thing to note is that in a wreck between 2 vehicles struck in identical manner and both having identical safety features (crumple zones, airbags, etc), but weight of the vehicles is…

Surprised this hasn’t come up yet in the discussion, but why do some transmissions (yeah, auto, hate to say it) stay out of overdrive until the vehicle has warmed up? (which seems a little counterintuitive since that would increase RPMs). I’ve heard this has something to do with tranny fluid temps. I’ve only…

With the right investment in capital they will. It’s not about pay, it’s about efficiency that supports the pay. But that takes time to develop.

On that note, if you tend to drive alone, get the Tesla. If you drive with someone else, you need the Faraday Future. Don’t mix them up, or you won’t get to enjoy that additional .001 second.

On a side note, I once experienced pedal confusion in a drive-thru at McDonald’s. I was driving back out to college from summer break and stopped at a McDonald’s drive thru. Ordered at the speaker and then proceeded to pull out my wallet while also letting my foot off the brake (drive thru was on a small downward…

I’ve been tossing around the idea of 2013+(more efficient heater in SV/SL ), but live in very cold climate (Wisconsin) which could affect range. Need to have 45 miles round trip be achievable year-round. Would like to do this without charging in excess of 80% and without discharging below 20%. Where do you live and…

Been looking into this issue. Any Leaf battery that has only 2/3 capacity (8 bars) would be replaced under warranty by Nissan. I believe they extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles for all Leafs sold.

Depends on how much electricity costs where you live, and how ‘efficient’ (miles per kwh) you would get in the Leaf. I think 3.4 miles/kwh is a safe number....depends on your climate as well. Some people in a temperate area without a bunch of hills in their commute could get 4.0miles/kwh. I think there are some…

FWD. Supposedly most of the weight is in the middle of the vehicle so perhaps not as good as FWD traction, but probably just fine.

Coincidentally, walked down Wacker yesterday (day visit to Chicago). I was really surprised how icy the sidewalks were. For shame.

G37 and G35 have the same body. Maybe you’re talking about Q50 (or whatever Infiniti calls it).

Purchased this showerhead after reading raves about Delta’s H2OKinetic (basically takes the stream and makes it into waves....sensation is more h2o than you’re actually using). I use it on low setting, does not feel low-flow at all.

Agreed that CRI is going to be a large factor, but willing to bet that the 5000k bulb would cast an inhuman / eery effect on nearly any interior environment. The only place I can imagine using that kind of light would be in a garage / closet / basement / places where aesthetics of the light ourput aren’t so…

5000k is way, way too blue for use in the bathroom and kitchen. 3000k is more appropriate, 3500k max. If you / your significant other has to put on makeup or cook under 5000k color temp, you’re going to hear complaints.

Agreed. Bumper cutout (where tailgate closes) is also squared off on the Escape, looks to have a soft radius in police image.

Hitch cutout doesn’t match image, depressed area around license plate too narrow, bumper cutout for tailgate is squared off (rounded off in police image)

‘77 Chevy Beauville with a 3-in-the-tree transmission. There were a lot of kids in our family. I distinctly remember my mom driving the van with an infant on her lap. No A/C and no entertainment to speak of (well, it did have a 2-speaker AM radio). You had to be careful shutting the back windows, if you got lazy and…

To each their own. Yeah, 235k miles is a lot of miles, but I know the engine was very clean, having done all the changes myself with synthetics and never having any issues at all. If Seafoam is only for a new engine w/o much in the way of carbon, what purpose does it serve? All I know is I’ll never do it again.

Bottle says you can run it for 100 - 300 miles. Perhaps changing the oil at ~5 miles prevents you from running into the issue I ran into. I would agree that it thins the oil and does clean out your engine, problem is, that stuff goes somewhere, and in my case, it led to clogged up oil flow, despite multiple oil…
