MBAs ruined everything. The absolute most asinine business decisions I have ever had the displeasure of being affected by were made by "business majors" with no sense of reality. They just convert coffee to urine while spouting terms that make everyone's eyes roll into the back of their heads...

That was part of the early 90's arsenal- Turtle Wax soap, TW polishing compound, Nu-Finish, and Bleche-White. Don't forget the $0.25 bone sponge, old white t-shirts, and a single bucket that someone once used for mixing mortar and carrying potting soil. Cars have won best in show with these...

A long time ago there was a product called Wesley's Bleche-White (it looks like Black Magic bought them out). It was amazing for cleaning tires before applying dressing, and it made white letters ridiculously bright. I don't know if formulation is the same these days. Also, check out...

What issues have you had?

Close to 2.5 years with mine, bought it new. Absolutely zero actual issues. There was an inconvenience with the soft top at one point that was driving me nuts, but I eventually figured out a fix. It did not require a repair, just disassembly and adjustments. While I never seem to see any...

Yes, they get bags of them on Amazon. A family member of mine has a small row of ducks on her Jeep- people just put them on there all the time and she collects them and re-gifts them. I see Jeeps around here all the time that are totally littered with ducks, to a point where I question how the...

I have never taken it on a long flat highway- I live near the mountains and everything has a grade one way or another. We used to have a JKU Jeep and it barely got 17mpg. As much as I (playfully) rag on the 6g Broncos for not having a V8, it does really well with the little 2.7l. I have grown...

Sadly, that's why I don't drive it much. I rebuilt and restored it for the experience of doing so, but I haven't hit 600mi on it in 4 years. Social anxiety is crippling for me. I don't leave the house for days at a time, and spend most of my time working 1-2 full time jobs from the attic. XD

I haven't adjusted AFE bias, but I have manually calculated the mileage a few times and it was within a few percent of what the computer said. If I said +/- 0.3 mpg, I'd feel that's safe with my driving habits, loading, etc. Prior to the Bronco, I had an '18 Mustang GT that averaged about...

I agree with you, and I totally recognize it as a kind gesture, and the world needs more kindness. If it's bringing people joy, it's a good thing. As for me, I'm an introvert of introverts. I don't like attention at all out in public, even if it's good.

I'm averaging 22.9mpg with a 50/50 mix of highway and "in town" driving. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with the fuel economy, and I say that as a hardcore V8 guy who is still disappointed we didn't get a Coyote Bronco and instead got Spongebob's 2.7l sewing machine instead. But hey...

Even though I think the whole "duck" thing is pretty cringy, and I don't want anyone touching my property (or me for that matter...), I have to stop for a moment and recognize that these people are just trying to bring a little joy to someone else's day. I'd much rather walk up and find a...

There is no all-encompassing minimal tire psi- it depends on the tire, size, load, speed, duration, and ambient temperatures. If your tire pressure is dangerously low, the tire will heat up and stink. The more the tire flexes, the more internal/rolling friction it goes through and if it can't...

Extremely well stated, and I agree 100%

I have been on automotive forums for the last 23 years- this one is on the milder/civil side of things. I used to be on Yellowbullet many years ago- things got rough and personal on there. And that's just the one I'll name. There's another automotive forum (I haven't touched in years) that is...

It depends on the state- some states enforce it better than others. Two years ago when we brought our son home from the hospital after he was born, we had to drive the Bronco off the road to avoid a distracted driver who crossed lanes at us head-on. I had gotten sick of this, but that was the...

Old thread, whatever. I definitely slowed down, but I've never really had a lead foot to begin with. I had a few Mustang GTs and a GT500 in the past. My driving style is "meek" and defensive (strength under control definition, not the false modern definition). I enjoy driving an 800hp car...

I get the impression that you think I'm disagreeing with you- I am not. We are in agreement that a solution is needed and that the infrastructure is already in place. My point is that logic doesn't thrive in bureaucracy. They could easily implement a software update that geofences and...

That works in theory, but a law is worthless if it is not enforced and upheld. First, it takes police to enforce the law, and then court systems have to uphold the law. My state has a "hands-free" law but it is pathetic and therefore not enforced. $25 and no points. It's a waste of time for...

So, if a camera detects that a driver is goofing off on their phone instead of moving when the light turns green, then what? It sends them a fine in the mail? Or, might I suggest, sending a notice to the carrier to disable their cell phone's network for 30 days? As much as I like that idea, I...
