I chatted with them about noon the 17th, sounded like the 23rd in Detroit isn't happening. (originally it said at Riverfront. But the festival they linked it to isn't happening this summer) I was disappointed, but I can imagine they are somewhat busy. :-) I suggested they park one out front...

I think you need to put a steel plate down in the middle of the bed. Then a post up so you clear the cab (unless you don't really like those guys). That gives you 360 degrees coverage.

I think we are inventing problems that don't exist. My 2016 F150 has the front seat shown in Luxrage's picture. The lap belt bolts to the metal framework under the seat. The shoulder belt goes into the top of the seat, presumably down to something solid. And I'm speculating on the airbag...

I assume only FM & XM continue working when your cell/Internet data dies?

BMW does have a Level 3 system. They say the driver can pay no attention to driving, it will alert you if needed. When it was announced last year, it was also the first system that would take legal responsibility. The press release shows a photo of the driver watching video. One downside is...

At first I thought you were saying that Florida requires AC in all cars sold there. Looking at the PDF I figured out that it was referring to vehicles purchased for the State's fleet. (I think) A bigger problem might be at the bottom of page 2 where it only mentions 4-door or 5-door.

I'm waiting to see prices listed next to the options. I got a little worried when some Slate employee said "only $500" for the wrap. My saying "only $ n" in my household is a big bugaboo. Even when n is a single digit. 8-) Then have to consider side effects of the options. Does it affect...

Has this law ever been enforced and held up in court? I can bring up Google Earth or Maps, and get pretty detailed photography of most anywhere. Has everyone in Indiana agreed to this, or is the Alphabet C-suite in jail? Don't really have a dog in this fight, but as a landowner I thought...

Benjamin, thanks for all the info in this post! Lots to think about and further research. Have you had good experiences with Epoch Batteries? I've been watching what the truck camper people say, moving down in price range from Dakota to SOK, maybe LiTime? My little project is a Specialized...

I don't see what you mean. That you don't see the bottom few inches of the tire? I just thought it was a dirt track, and that wheel is running in a rut. Are the sticks down to the axle measuring up-down motion of the wheel, for testing suspension?

My history is pushing vehicles beyond what is reasonable. Most recently was on AuSable Trail, an Otsego county dirt 2-track that is "not maintained by the road commission". I was still driving my Focus then, about 5" clearance FWD. As things usually go, the first 90% was fine. Then I hit the...

Hmmm, ok, maybe you have a point about some benefits of AC. Certainly since '86 (our first AC car) and '99 (AC installed in house) we have sort of become reliant on it. BUT, I'm going to share some of my TRUTHiness about the Great Lakes. In reality, there are only four, Michigan-Huron is one...

Counter counterpoint. Usually car windows are in-line to the car. So if you drive fast, the air rushes by, but maybe doesn't come in. Or the front window blows into the back seat. The vent window can be set to just allow some air in, or opened far enough to scoop the air in. You can direct...

Commercial teardrop trailers are out of my price range. They sure do look pretty. There is a reddit group, lots of websites, and at least one book on DIY building. As I understand it, teardrops started after WW2 and were mostly a home built rig for ten or twenty years. I would hope to...

Many people, and Crutchfield also, suggest that old car speakers (like 5 years plus) are likely worn and good candidates for replacement. Do you agree with that? And if so, are the low end speakers there similar to OEM or maybe even an upgrade? (they suggest Kenwood KFC-1666S for $39/pair -...

There is great value as a pleasurable experience. Certain weather conditions it is wonderful. If you haven't had the pleasure, I'm sorry. Coming back from Lake Michigan beach, some sand still on your feet, the day cooling down. Good company in the passenger seat. Might even have to run...

Shouldn't you be thankful? They could have busted your driver side window, I assume the little one is cheaper? Harder to duct tape a temporary fix on a larger opening.... 8-) (sorry, criminals are bad)

I would be interested in some glass back there, since I might be using it as the living room of my camper setup. Maybe plastic? Free daylight, maybe some opening for fresh air. But my dream of turning this into a camper vehicle is suffering. A little tight for sleeping in the bed, not sure...

It is kind of ugly. Are those supposed to be the accessory switches also? Is the expansion speakers graphic in #7 from the "Maker" options? (And I don't see any speakers?) I suppose I should try to look through those, my tendency has been to not click on stuff I don't have much interest in...

How do you feel about TPMS? My initial reaction is that if drivers can't tell their tires are going flat, maybe driving is a skill that is beyond them? But I suppose that's too harsh, some people will benefit from TPMS. All I know is that in the last 15 years, I have purchased four sets of...
