Link to article below, I found the article relevant as on Monday suffered a 4 hr delay due to an accident that closed I-70 near Palisade CO, the speed limit is 60 there owing to curves but many drives are doing 70 mph. The likely cause of the accident was excessive speed, it was a van and the...

Last summer purchased a Bris inflatable raft mostly for fishing lakes, may have bitten off more than I can handle as it's cumbersome weighs 125 lbs, I tow a 23' trailer and oft times to launch the raft I have to drive to a boat launch, so transporting the raft when it's inflated for short...

Today is N'tl PU truck day, also n'tl absinthe day, but don't drink and drive, esp that green sh#t , IIRC it was outlawed in the US for a long long time. Don't think there is a n'tl damper day, thankfully Key Details About National Pickup Truck Day (March 5): Origin: Initiated around 2018 to...

Well the Santa Cruz hasn't sold well so time to move upstream , can't wait to see how hideous of a vehicle they come up with. I saw a Santa Cruz a few days back and kind of reminds me of design elements taken from the Pontiac Aztec, Dodge Rampage, Chevy Avalanche, Subaru Baja and Honda...

Interesting that 0w-20 oil will be replace by 0w-40 . Part of the modernization of bread and butter engines in some cases involved narrowing oil passages, reducing oil pump size and going to low viscosity oil. Hyundai had to replace over a million of Theta II engines and they are still being...

Audi V8, definately rube goldberg like, Hyundai Genesis V8 was nearly as complicated . Ford was mentioned for their Taurus steering wheel, if they had an under engineered article I'd nominate Ford's ACC . https://jalopnik.com/these-are-the-most-over-engineered-car-parts-1851250289/slides/12

Hi all - does anyone here use gas buddy credit card ? any comments on pros/cons thanks

Excerpts below taken from an article in Saturday's Denver Post about the increasing no of issues caused by off road vehicles in CO. I decided to make the post because I just spent 5 days on a camping trip and one day hiked to an alpine lake to fish which is accessible only by very rugged off...

Anyone on here ever declare personal bankruptcy or know of someone who did ? My sister and her (useless) husband did some 25 yrs back, 2 years later he was back buying a Larson with twin 350 engines, a Mercedes , this after being allowed to wipe out a huge amount of debt, I realize personal...

Recently moved to a new house, it has a big lawn (which ultimately I plan to mostly replace with rock/xeriscape) it also has a Rain Bird ESP-ME3 controller, this thing is absurdly overly complicated compared to controllers of the past, I have no patience for having to figure things like this...

Curious as what level folks are insuring their travel trailers, it seems to be relatively inexpensive with the exception of collision coverage - what are your comments on the need for collision coverage, thanks

I found it to be almost worthless as far as being any real help

Bit more interesting than pics of CEO Farley patting/petting the Lightning, you can look but please don't touch. Claudia Jennings, the later queen of “B” movies, stood beside a new 1970 Ford Mercury Capri, gifted to her by Playboy Magazine as their Playmate of the Year. The German imported...

Considered posting as a poll, how old is too old ? Well today there was an ominous sign I am on the cusp, had changed oil in 2 family cars in the last 6 weeks and both non events, that ended today as I badly located the collection pan, positioning it to rear of the drain plug vs to the side...

Went over to my local medical center this am(the kind with real MDs and not budtenders) and upon leaving I noticed 3 other 5G Ford Rangers in the parking lot and not a single Tacoma, this in my small town where I'd say Tacomas outnumber Rangers by 5 to 1. Could it be that Toyota owners take...

I had to read it 2x to believe it - 18,000 dead cows in dairy farm explosion, imagine how much future methane the atmosphere has been spared, maybe the EPA will relax those stricter emissions proposals. Still can't picture what kind of a mess and stench will be left behind...

Reported in Wall Street Journal and Reuters: March 23 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) expects its electric vehicle business unit to lose $3 billion this year, but remains on track to achieve a pretax margin of 8% by late 2026, the company said. Chunk of change but Farley is committed, and the...

Interesting ad from Ford, celebrating women's history month , Saudi Arabia was the last country to allow women the right to drive - in 2018 . Hopefully it's damperless as well.
