I'm in San Diego, been driving without a front plate without issue for about four years, just couldn't bring myself to drill the holes. Even when I got pulled over they didn't mention the plate.
It seems like the same wine, new bottle. The sides and shape seem flatter, coupled with the new headlights, it does give it a 'Camaro' feel which I'm not crazy about. It would have been nice to have it lighter with a stiffer frame, the engine options haven't really changed. It sounds like the...
But if a lot of it come from from solar located where the car is it should be doable, the government picks up 30% of solar now, I just got mine online and planned to have enough overage to power a car. I'm planning to be buried in my Mustang, but my wife's RAV4 is getting a little long in the...
Unless you have battery backup charged from Solar Panels on your roof. And soon the EVs will be the battery backup, as the Ford Lightning illustrates. Six dollar gas is gone for now, but not for too long is my guess. I think it may take longer than expected and things like towing and trucking...
It could be an 02 sensor, or maybe a leak in the exhaust system since that has been swapped. If you have an odb2 reader, I would watch those 02 readings.
I was looking at extended warranties online and came across the Flood dealership as a good place to get one from Ford. I thought perhaps I would give my local dealership the business, they would probably be doing any work. When I asked them if they could come near the price, they just...
Take a really close look at how well the battery is grounded, especially since it has been moved. When I have seen this many electrical issues, often the ground is no good. Look for rust and maybe sand a bit to be sure it is really solid where it connects. I'd check the ground wire all the...
My stock 2018 GT threw a CEL with a code of P0111, which signals the Intake Air Temp sensor was off. I took it into the dealer and there is actually a TSB 182130A which says to flash the PCM and clear the codes. After the flash the CEL is gone. My Mustang also seems to have a bit more kick...
This makes sense to me, if it were the head you would be losing coolant, not oil. I had a car with leaky oil rings, it blew white smoke when cold or accelerating.
I looked at the automatic, because it seemed stupid not to. Faster and better mileage, but it just wasn't as interesting to me. Sometimes I like letting it unwind, sometimes I like just driving like 'a normal human' as my son would put it. This way I am always in control. I know there are...
I drove a Focus for 15 years, 2.3 Duratec manual. It was very reliable and had fair pep for an econobox. I had one issue with the ignition and the alternator went out, but that car served me well.
Well, it's not really a choice of curing cancer or developing self-driving cars. We live in a capitalist society, firms put their money on where they expect to get a return for the given risk. But I think it does solve some issues, my folks were pretty frightening drivers before they finally...
All I'm saying is that if you have computer driven cars driven a certain number of miles in certain conditions and you have N deaths vs. cars driven by people for the same distance in the same conditions and you end up with more than N deaths, that is the metric where they should be allowed. I...
I'm not sure it needs to be 100% all the time, that's the wrong metric. It really only needs to be better than the average human to actually make roads safer. Somehow people would rather take twice the risk of getting killed by some yutz adjusting his radio or texting his girlfriend than being...
I've had good luck with high mileage used cars. They tend to be freeway miles which are very easy on the car, and they should bring the price down. If the compression check is good, it hasn't been in an accident and it seems sound mechanically, it can be a good way to go.
