I’ve been running wireless CarPlay with a Carplay2Air dongle since 2021. I would notice that while still connected to WiFi there would be a delay in CarPlay working. Sometimes my dongle would spin if I came out of a place where I had been connected to WiFi. They changed something in iOS16 and I...

So all of this above is true and worth noting. AWD cars don’t do well in deep snow. They just do better in the kinds of snowy road conditions they can actually drive in. If their underbodies are making contact, certainly the added ground clearance of an SUV makes a difference. SUVs are far more...

Sounds like you’re plowing, i.e., you’re sliding and when you turn your tires, you’re now plowing the sidewalls into the snow as you move forward. Turning the wheels usually causes your vehicle to follow the direction in which they turn, but because the low coefficient of dynamic friction in...

You can attach the zip line to the seat belts but I find the headrests, up high, allow more movement of the seats, when the dog isn’t there. Also being up high, it’s out of the way, allowing him to move around the back seat without getting tangled. The headrests, are mandated to survive crashes...

When the hoodie drops, the bullshit stops.

Temu’d my knob….

Duluth Traders Deluxe. https://www.duluthtrading.com/s/DTC/deluxe-seat-saver-96000.html?color=BLP I had two of these (new dog, new seat cover), and I think they’re the best. You can reconfigure them, hose them off, scrub them on the driveway with a brush. They come with a nice bag you can use...

If your plans are to primarily drive on road, then go with the lift that has the best road manners. I wouldn’t go with a Rock Krawler lift. I wouldn’t go that route for a trailer queen, honestly. I’d probably run Metalcloak et al. For primary on road use that’s still plenty off road capable, I...

I’ve lived here my whole life. I agree, we used to. It’s tapered way off and that’s accelerated substantially in the last 5 years. Since 2019 or so we usually don’t get anything substantial unless there’s a polar vortex pushing arctic air south. At the same time I used to start fishing early...

I have a vague recollection of snow. We used to get it around here pretty consistently starting in Dec. Now we might get a few flurry’s in February. Instead we have 34 degrees and torrential rain. We still get plenty of ice just in time for morning rush hour. Good times?

My view and response on this thing based on some of the posts on this thread….. First, to the OP: It totally sucks that this has happened twice! What absolutely rotten luck! What a pita too to have to deal with the fuel system replacement a second time. Based on some of the posts: The pump...

Here’s some issues to consider: If both batteries are dead, replacing the main with a dead aux still connected in parallel is not a good idea. If AGM batteries are hard to come buy replacing the main with a traditional lead acid with an AGM aux still connected is also a problem. The AUX is an...

Changed out my blown (?) Kenwood X3Cs with Infinity 3022s. Got them at Bezomart for $50. I installed the X3Cs back in 5/21. They’ve since developed severe rattles. My polarity is good. I removed them thinking it was grit from beach driving and blew them out. The cones grind badly when you move...

We need a “Dumb shit I bought on Temu” thread.

Right next to her rubber infinity gauntlet

No mystery here. Historically high interest rates coupled with insane price gouging. Unfortunately, for those folks who bought anything in the last year, they’re going to take a major haircut when they go to sell. I’ll be shocked if a lot of people aren’t going to be completely upside down on...

Anything would improve upon Bridgestone or Firestone tires. Hand hewn wagon wheels or hand chipped stone are better than Bridgestone tires. Yes Potenzas are trash tires too. A set of all-season Michellin Pilots will run circles around Potenza summer performance tires all day long and not fall...
