  4. Shocked by medical billing.

    Hello; Agree. Theu seek any other place from which to get funds.
  5. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; Fortunately/unfortunately I had enough slack time to watch a lot of televised stuff from the Miami race. Seems all week the RB was pushing (understeer). Such does not take away from the orange car's pace. Was it a fluke and the status quo returns next race? I do hope there will be some...
  6. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; I get the safety car helped Norris get the lead. However, he pulled away from Max and had an 8 second lead.
  7. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; Another thing crossed my mind later while watching a second qualifying this weekend. That rash move by Lewis and the other driver who pinned Norris was in a secondary sprint race. wilt qualifying for and the main race yet to come. Could have knocked several cars out of tomorrows race. I...
  8. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; Recorded and watched the sprint race today. Miami GP Sprint result changed as Lewis Hamilton receives huge penalty (msn.com) What is a puzzle is how the penalties are applied. I did not watch the past sprint race but according to talking heads calling todays sprint race there was an...

  10. EV's.......... 😂😂😂😂😂

    Hello; Very unpleasant read. EV losses per vehicle were expected but the amount is some what of a surprise. I wonder if these reported losses in include the reported nearly $50 grand of taxpayer subsidies+ incentives + all or if these staggering loses add to those amounts??? An equally...
  11. Possibly buying GT350 today, any last minute advice?

    Hello; This likely will not apply to a car from a Ford dealership. I have been following some threads about problems with tuned used Mustangs. Some have had severe issues. I started a thread asking how to learn or know if a used car has a tune. Best answer so far is to try to get a dealer...
  12. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; Guess it becomes what can be lived with and what gets watered down. So doing something dumb, dangerous but very exciting such as racing motorcycles at near 200 mph gets turned into what we have in F1.
  13. Vacuum leak caused by Master Clutch Cylinder?

    Hello; Recently I learned newer mustangs with a clutch have the clutch and brake systems share a common reservoir. This, to me, makes the OP's question worth consideration. Unless my knowledge is outdated most power brake systems use engine vacuum as the "power" portion of power brakes. A large...
  14. Formula 1 talk.

    Hello; An old observation. The races are so boring we resort to this pit lane stuff for something of interest to talk about. I stumbled on an INDYCAR street type circuit race Sunday. More action in the fifteen to twenty minutes of racing than in two or there F1 races. They were bumping into...
  15. Electric for everyone - the impossible dream

    Hello; Thanks for the update. There is a tactic somewhat related to asking for more money than you actually need. The idea is to ask high and then appear to settle for less when the less is just what was wanted to begin with. At the end of the article was mentioned lowering the speed limit if no...

    Former auto honcho exposes the 'colossal mistake' made with America's EV push (msn.com) Hello; This guy knows the auto business. Much of what he says rings true. I guess because it is true. Too much and too soon. Too associated with agendas that are become more important than real or practical...
  18. First Manual Transmission Questions

    Hello; had to make a couple of trips this week. Drove 341 miles. I paid attention to my clutch foot work. Seems I have the habit of completely removing my foot from the pedal when rowing thru the gears. Must have broken myself from leaving a foot on the pedal over the decades.
  19. Engine RPM and vacuum gauge flactuations with A/C on + not great noise from compressor.

    Hello; A car i owned in the 1990's had an odd AC failure. The compressor was fine but the bearing inside the AC clutch failed. A belt runs the AC compressor but the compressor has to be able to turn off. When the compressor is turned off there is a magnetic clutch (or at least there use to be...
  20. Engine RPM and vacuum gauge flactuations with A/C on + not great noise from compressor.

    Hello; I listened to the video. Afraid i did not hear enough to make a call, at least not what i would consider bad noise. Perhaps those with the same setups can better determine the sounds. A couple of things. One is when teh AC id on some engine management things can happen. The engine may...
