...... Huh? Kia and Hyundai's recalls for the trailer hitch wiring fire recall made national news. Toyota's recall of the rear view camera issue on the 2025 trucks too. Granted I'm Canadian so that might make a difference, bu

Doesn't really make any sense to in that example. Where ever you're putting the TV you have to put in regular power anyways, so it's fairly tidy to just put the device's power cable parallel with the TV's power cabl

The wealthy are buying larger more expensive vehicles. The poorer are either holding onto their existing cars (the average age of an American car went up from 11 years to 12 years or so) or buying the used larger ones from the wealthy.

By Canadian law IIRC it's 30 minutes every 8 hours or so. However it can still be split up to 2x 15 minute breaks, and it's only a break from driving; loading/unloading, inspections, hooking up or unhook, paperwork, etc is co

There isn't a low pressure braking region in the brakes. But brakes can get really hot. Passenger brakes can easily get over the boiling point of water. Keep braking long enough and adding enough heat, and they'll get over the b

Can't agree at all about a sight glass. The lowest point in nearly every brake system is the brake calipers themselves. Wheels going to make it difficult anyways on a car. Not to mention the risk of a rock striking and damaging rigid g

I know. Those cable covers are also illegal, something city law enforcement and spokespersons confirmed. Don't ask me why a cover is illegal, it seems strange to me. Maybe it's because of the danger of snow clearing equipment chew

Where I live in Canada, that's illegal. Tripping hazard on the ground, I don't know the exact reason why overhead is also illegal (though I can make a few guesses).

Chances are it probably won't be repaired though. I'd bet that the scanner will catch all those damages and any deviation from showroom floor condition will be flagged. But then Hertz will just pocket the fees as profit without ac

It's not just that; competition has arrived as well. Mach E, F150 Lightning, Blazer, Equinox, Ariya, Silverado EV, Ioniq 5 and 6, EV6 and EV9. Toyota has announce new BEV models as well. And that's just North America. BYD and NIO

Kinda. Power delivery is wildly different between an ADV and a sports bike. On a sorta dual sport like a Kawasaki KLR650 you get peak torque from the engine at around 2500 RPM, which is comfortably in school zone speed limit territory. Some

The iZEV rebate is paid to the the point of sale who in turn is supposed to knock that price down for the owner. So it is a 'dealer' in that Tesla itself is the dealership. So yes it is suspicious. Especially considering that the
