Remember the dot com bubble way back when? Yeah all those "Internet Start Ups" that didn't produce anything and nobody had a clue as to what said start ups were supposed to be doing? But everyone was throwing money at them because it was "The Internet"? Well to ME this seems a lot like that...
That's as funny as Peloton stock being down 92% yesterday. So I guess people didn't REALLY want electric trucks AKA Glorified Golf Carts and nobody really wanted an insanely priced exercise bike AKA coat rack.
I used to work for an independent VW/Audi shop in Macon back in 06/07. My boss LOVED the TDI models and I didn't get it at first. But then I got to test drive a TDI Beetle. They ran every bit as fast if not faster than the gas engine cars BUT they got around 40 MPG doing it. How can you argue...
Can you possibly send me a simple diagram of what you're describing. Reason I ask is the mechanic I asked about doing something similar to what you described acted like he didn't want to do it. He wanted me to put a kill switch or negative disconnect like in a drag race car under the hood. Since...
One of my bosses wives has a late model Journey. He had to replace the battery last month. Turns out it's tucked in the wheel well like in the old Dodge Cirrus and Chrysler Sebring from the 90s. What a dick move by Dodge!
So let's take the battery and put it in probably THE most inconvenient...
I feel for you and her. I have an 01 Dakota at a local shop right now that keeps killing the battery because the daytime running light stay on no matter what. Turns out it has a bad body control module. But wait it gets better. The tech told.me that they don't make that part anymore and they are...
I've bonded a few years ago but didn't hang on to any of them long enough for it to have the issue you're dealing with. Although I have never heard of one expiring.
Fo'realdough... They killed off the Charger the Challenger and the 300. And THEN Biden went back that old " Banning Menthols" strategy. Yeah so no more $8.00 a pack Newports. Why does he hate his base.
When I was at the Brunswick Port the little Buick crossover I believe it was the Encore would be rolling off a ship way in the back and it was a strange sight . But when I got close enough to read the window sticker I realized why. They're 100% Chinese built. I don't know if the average Buick...
Oh I know. My uncle was some kinda comptroller or some **** for Budget Rental in the late 80s and early 90s. He was constantly dealing with disposing of hundreds of nearly new but usually base model domestic sleds.
On a side note, I always thought the car companies AND the rental companies...
Yesterday on Newsmax I saw a story about a guy in NM who had just paid off a 2014 Infinity hybrid and then the dealer informed him it needed a battery. Not an EV...a damn hybrid. So the battery install wound up just under $20K . For a car worth just under $14K .
So since "Sustainable" has been...
Dude, the new truck market has insanity written all over it! I've seen videos about how they aren't selling ( and they shouldn't be) but I still see plenty of them on the roads.
Seriously in the last few years I have seen my landlord buy houses for less than the cost of a new truck.
I'm sure they won't budge off that markup either. When I worked at Ford lots of guys thought they could negotiate a deal on a Cobra, Lightning,Roush car etc. but that doesn't happen. There was no discounting the specialty brand/cars.
Hell I still remember when the Dodge Stealth was new and...
When me and the wife worked at the port of Brunswick her job was inspecting/processing Subarus . I worked there for a while and drove every model except the Outback since it's made in Indiana. I dig that every Subaru is AWD and it's not an expensive option like with other brands. I also dig how...
