I bought these and have been very happy with them - they with the rachet straps they are completely secure and do not create much if any noticeable wind noise. If properly installed they fit tigthly and I see no risk of them coming loose. I will mention I tow a TT with a 7' 4" width, get good...

another talented whack job, excessive alcohol consumption can be brain altering.

Did you happen to see Mel Gibson speculating that the fires were planned with the knowledge that many can't afford to rebuild? On a much lesser scale something similar happened in the CO with the Marshall fire, many were under insured and looked to the state government to make up the delta and...

I don't have car shield - isn't that the one that IceT promotes in his gangsta style elocution ? However after seeing Danica Patrick pitching Endurance X warranty - I'm tempted to see if I can trade-in my Ford ESP for Endurance coverage in the hope that Danica will handle any claims I make.

Well at least Vistra is not a public utility in the traditional sense that is typically allowed to pass on rate changes for whatever reason, Vistra has to have competitive rates, a bit from yahoo finance on the stock - which is already taking a hit on the news : Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) has...

Probably so as automakers as a group spend about $35M or so annually lobbying Congress, gotta get some ROI from that.

More CA fires, this time though it's not wild but it's from that lithium-ion demon. https://www.aol.com/fire-huge-northern-california-lithium-165500515.html From the article : "The fire is being allowed to burn itself out and it was unknown how long that process would take. "No active fire...

"The bipartisan group says OEMs are hypocrites motivated by profits and not privacy protection." Had to laugh at such a profound opening statement, like what else is new .

You can read about it in the link below, I do recall that at one time California public sector workers enjoyed very generous pension and medical benefits. But at the Federal level in the US there is a massive amount of debt - the $36 trillion number often cited doesn't include unfunded...

Not a TV show but any Jersey Mike's Sub commercials with Danny Devito, the latest freshmen one had me in stitches.

From my engineering days - I believe that fits the definition of an "overunning clutch"

Well possibly you are missing that Ford pretty much copied what I believe BMW originally developed . The clutch can reduce wear on the belts, pulleys and alt bearing, other than that I don't know.

Most modern AGM charging systems - be it the ones in the vehicle or an external battery charger have a certain degree of charging intelligence built into them and they will always maintain a margin of safety as it pertains to charging voltage limit. So factors like ambient temperature or even a...

FYI, below is the debt of the Golden State, rebuilding from this catastrophic event is going to be a huge challenge, many homeowners (myself included) do not carry full replacement coverage on their dwellings owing to cost. In 2024 natural disasters in the US cost $ 182.7 billion , that...

estimates now raised as high as $150 billion I was reading about the impact on property insurance - the fires will impact rates for the entire state and make insurance prohibitively expensive in the high risk areas - if one can even get a non state sponsored policy. Probably prompt another...

Didn't those dudes get burnt to a crisp in a fire where they were playing? Another group I liked that didn't enjoy widespread success was Little Feat, Lowell George was great on vocals and slide guitar and his bandmates weren't slouches either.

Clever - living on the edge - song by Aerosmith

I mentioned being in Vegas recently, lest we forget today was the kings bday, with Elvis movie marathon on TCM, choose to watch Viva Las Vegas , Elvis wins the road race as well as the lovely Ann-margaret to end the movie. RIP Elvis.

Went to a Grateful Dead Concert with a bunch of people, totally wasted, I think the New Riders of the Purple Sage may have opened but a bud sitting next to me passed out during the opening group, then the Dead come on and he sleeps thru all the noise, finally with 1 or 2 songs before the Dead...

BTW - I was in Vegas recently and checked out the Sphere - very cool but a neighbor of mine is going to see the Eagles play there, asked me if I wanted to go, he paid > $700 a ticket to go see the freakin Eagles, I responded by doing what I'm very accomplished at - told him he's out of his...
