No long explanations are necessary, but honesty is key. So hit away! For me, it was 167 MPH in a modified Merkur. Speed checked with B&L SpeedGun.

One of the reasons the speed is limited to 110 MPH, are the speed rating of the tires (T rated, max 114 MPH!). Without admitting anything, if you remove the governor (yes it is possible, but don't ask me how!), you can see 125 with a lot of buffeting. Don't try this on stock or over-sized...

Gosh! Mine's 16 month old, and the odometer reads 7600 and a few. Technically, the upcoming oil change could have been my first. But... 4,000 is enough between changes, albeit I drive it every day. And usually, with my go foot planted to the floor!

I'm not a spoil sport, but that job is best left up to the dealership when I get the vehicle(s) serviced.

First of all, it is not just "one" chip! Although the manufacturing of integrated chips is largely automated, it still requires a lot of manual handling. If there is a manpower shortage, every facet of chip manufacturing is affected. While we would like to think China and other SE Asian...

Allow me to comment on Lang's post. Everyone who indulges in social media (Facebook and Twitter especially), is giving up a bit of their privacy, including passwords and/or codes.GetGo is just one more nail!

It is indeed rev matching. In order to manually shift the gears, you must be in Sports mode. Sport mode isn't the best for slowing down on steep grades. Rather, keep the transmission in Drive, and use the ± control which limits the maximum gear the transmission can use. Going a bit fast? Just...

Aside from the Red state/Blue state arguments, nothing gets folks riled up more than talking about fuel costs and MPG! I'm with Grumpaw on this one. If you want high mileage, go buy yourself a Prius. If you want utility, keep your Ranger! But in any case, quit your darn bellyaching! PS: I have...

Want more response off the line? Just torque up the converter to about 1,300 RPM, release the brake, stab the go pedal, and hold tight! No cost at all, save some fuel, tire rubber, and a bit of wear and tear on the drive train.

Personal opinion: For the camera in question, it is no bargain! The price of 4K capable dash cams, with GPS and rear cam to boot, are now hovering around $120. Terabyte memory capability is a bit more expensive, but 500 GB is becoming common place. In the near future (6 to 8 months), 8K...

Curb feelers!

Don't you all realize, that admen lay awake nights, thinking up these wonderful spats of language?

Being an amateur radio operator, I can relate. I also notice the safety cord is left dangling. Like the folds in an overhead door, the cord can be enough to rip off antennas.

I suspect, every wheel thief has a complete set of anti-thift sockets. Or, they have one of those tapered sockets. They don't have flats per se, rather they have six rather sharp spines inside. You just jab them on, and twist off any anti-theft nut you want. Oh! And let's not forget a pocket...

All "I" have to do, is use the Sports mode, and stomp the go pedal. And what do I get? Squeeling rubber. Why would I want anything more?

A couple of more items to add to the list. First, whenever you get your car serviced, always scrutinize the bill. Look for add-ons like oil disposal fees and/or dealer supplies like rags, gloves, etc. They already build these into the service rate. If in doubt, always ask what the labor rate...

Well sir, look at it this way; You could buy a Cheesy Chevy PU, and get one of 7 different outside trims and body sculptures, and not be able to find replacements for any of them!

Also tell him to erase the cache. Go to settings, select Safari, and scroll down to the clear cache command. The reason I ask, Beta 15 is out, and it has a couple of issues which might effect Safari. If you're not in the Beta program, then no worries.

Lightning is a fickle beast, and you never know when or where you're going to get hit. As an mobile amateur radio operator, I've been hit three times (think antenna sticking up in the air). The last time, all it did was melt the solder connections in the matching coil, burned a hole in the...
