Usually people don't pay attention to the tax charge cause they're nothing they can do about it. But here I am seeing an almost 50% increase in taxes between two retailers. I assume difference in the environmental fee is disposal because I cannot remove the installation fee from Discount Tire...

This story gets more ridiculous the longer you watch it.

The Land Rover Defender: https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2024/06/26/2024-land-rover-defender I kinda forget these existed and they are surprisingly cheaper than I thought they'd be. Looks to be more configurable than the Bronco too. You can even get it with a snorkel and air suspension. I...

Alcohol Breath Tests now mandatory for every traffic stop in Ontario: For that extra dystopian feeling listen to the newscasters make it sound fun and exciting. "Hmm, ok lets get to it!" "Yay I got zero!" "We should have these at work!" "I love blowing things!" (I took some liberty with...

Still as great a joke, er I mean "car" website as ever. :LOL:

It's time to rotate my tires again. I do it every 5k miles in hopes of maybe getting a tire replacement under warranty because my Wildpeaks are no way gonna last the 55k miles they promise. But regardless if I get it or not I'll rotate them. I took it to the dealer last time just cause it's a...

Another page turns in our wonderful distopia. I see used vehicle prices skyrocketing as more unwanted garbage gets forced into all new cars. https://www.musclecarsandtrucks.com/ntsb-wants-to-add-speed-limiters-to-all-new-cars/

I've seen this photo popping up so I checked to see if it's real. There are two different occurrences at least. It's not surprising this is where we are at now. Pretty ridiculous towing instructions there too. Why yes flooring the gas and brake while shifting and facing a tow truck is a great...

I'm thinking of getting one in the used market. I want a small cargo van, decent room but mpg for road tripping. Like a mini-camper. Most are very high miles (being vans) so it needs to be reliable. I know the 1st gen Transit Connect wasn't very good. 2nd gen seems much better and the GDI engine...

Electric Vehicle Sales Are Increasing Exponentially The simple fact is people are buying more EVs today then they did 6 million years ago. That means the adoption of EVs in America has gone up 60 trillion billion percent. Checkmate gas guzzler driving luddites!

Real-World Tesla Semi Range Data is In, And It’s Not Bad :LOL: ?:LOL:

For some reason the brake fluid capacity isn't listed anywhere. Owners manual has nothing and no info online. I am doing a brake flush at 3 years. Anyone who's done this how much did you need? It is not cheap and opened bottles take on water and go bad.

https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2023/08/14/the-70k-jeep/ The gladiator was always overpriced (I shopped one that was $3k more than my Ranger and it had roll up windows and A/C as an option) so it's no surprise they are going for one more gouge.

First a 96 month car loan. Then comes the Minuteman!

Imagine going to fill up your tank and instead the gas station takes fuel out because it decides they need it more. California! :LOL: https://www.energyportal.eu/news/pges-ceo-wants-electric-vehicles-to-save-californias-power-grid-4/136709/

Guess I shoulda got it in white... I don't see a real solution for this outside of a expensive and ugly line-x coating or maybe I will try doing a strip of plasti-dip. Chips through the 3M strip and even if I got it repainted under warranty it would just chip again with this thin eco-paint.

Title says it all. Trying to narrow down the issue if that's possible.

I had the simple non-electronic whistles years ago and I hit a deer with them on the car. I'm wondering if the electronic ones are any better if anyone uses them. They range from $18 to $300. ?‍♂️ https://amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DYV3N https://xp3hornet.com/hornet-model-v-135/
