    Right to Repair Laws For Fixing Your Own Vehicle Battle Grows with Federal Bill and Maine Wildcards, Will Automakers Win?

    Apple is the one that started the closed repair idea, now it looks like the auto OEM's thought it was a good idea also, Apple has gotten a massive push back and it looks like the auto OEM's are getting the same push back, Apple tried to use fear as a deterrence, Im sure the auto OEM's will do...

    Worst Q1 since 2020

    Its in your gas tank, lots of it, only believe .5% what the CBC says, there are only four good things the CBC had and they blew it, Hockey Night in Canada, Olympic Game Coverage, Red Green and the Trailer Park Boys, my American cousin and many of his friend's would sign up with their cable or...

    Worst Q1 since 2020

    Another possible downturn is people shopping for a new truck have removed themselves from the market, things like economy, interest rates and for sure tariffs, thus stopping using sites for research till things pick up and become stable again, I do know one person who has done just that, I...

    Additives in pump gasoline

    I haven't seen anything indicating top tier in Ontario, the only talk about it is auto OEM's mentioning it, Shell does brag that their premium contains zero ethanol, they also have pamphlets in their stations explaining their premium fuel, I am also aware their diesel is of high quality, they do...

    I got pissed today - Trump on 2020 rollback

    There was a 60 day assessment period the auto makers implemented for study on how their going go about the new EPA rollback, that was about 30 days ago, Im not sure what exact day this announced, Im assuming we're going to get some kind of an answer sometimes in May on what the OEM's are going...

    Subscription fees in trucks: yay or nay?

    Im pretty sure BMW started this crap, why would I pay a subscription for heated seats or door locks, door locks are being pushed to use your smart phone where people are already paying a ton of money monthly, key fob is fine for me, the last smart phone I had was years ago was the iphone 5...

    Is YouTube oversaturated with automotive content?

    This is the way I look at it, your title has match the content, when you (Tim) put up a video, its properly titled, you start a video and usually tell people who you are and what your going to talk about, and if its something specific that has to be addressed, you break it down to what the...

    Article from WSJ on Jeep & RAM... trouble?

    I also think Stellantis is the issue, to me it seems they brought the European mindset of auto to North America where the mindset is completely different, we have wider roads, longer highways, people like to tow things, people like to jump into their vehicles on a whim and go somewhere, most...

    Is YouTube oversaturated with automotive content?

    A lot of these guys on YT I find are wanna be journalists, or just want to put something on YT for the hell of it, it seems to them the infotainment system is the most important item as they spend more time with the camera on the screen as they push buttons explaining what it does, my preference...

    best product to protect the paint on new vehicles

    You can go with the film on just the front end, front fenders and hood, most road derbies hits as going to be there, but still pricey, GM dealer up here does the whole or part of the vehicle, if buying a new vehicle there, negotiate a better price, as I recall they will do a new Sierra front end...

    My area

    My backyard during solar storm last night, they were so powerful you could almost read a book, problem was the aurora dances, it was one hell of a show, you most likely would have seen it in Oregon and further down to Northern Cal last night.

    Cloth seats and farts

    I think he's right, although you may have to plant your face into the seat to check, just make sure nobody see's you doing this, I do have a preference for leather seats, I find you actually sneeze less, when up plop your butt down on a cloth seat, you get a cloud of dust, now into the science...

    I hate to get political but when your dealing with EV's, for some strange reason politics will always pop up, Ford knows there are two elections coming up, the U.S and then Canada where both will set the pace...

    Interesting video on EV range while towing from an engineering perspective

    The guy in the video claims the problem has been solved, he makes it sound like a breakthrough, I don't know where this guy has been but air dams on the roof have solved this for over 30 years.

    Drain plug Fumoto or Valvomax

    First Ive seen these two, I like the Fumoto for the simple reason you can aim your drainage, I would assume this would be much cleaner than stock plug, who hasn't removed an oil plug as carefully as you can, then trying to aim bucket only to find out the Agent 86 Get Smart "I missed it by just...

    Stellantis fires hundreds of engineers, tech

    OEM's have a tough go right now, they have to prepare for a US election in November that can and will change they way they do business almost overnight, any OEM that took government incentives has hooks and shackles attached to the cash, they have a tough game to play in order to keep the cash...
