The real reason: Auto OEMs design most side mirrors asymmetrically from a top down view so that the front view is even width. The passenger's mirror is typically at a different angle than the driver's mirror. Simple trig. I used to design the assembly, calibration, and test equipment for a...

I don't think you're going to find a practical use that the OB can't do. Just being honest. I had a '98 Ford Explorer with the 4x4 package, New England winter beater, and that thing never got stuck in anything. Don't get sucked into trimflation. :)

I feel your pain... Especially after Helene :( It would take another hurricane just to wash the dirt out from the first one, and none of us want to do through that again... Prior to Helene, it was just "mud-trucks" carelessly dragging clay onto the roads. I was headed to a car cruise-in for...

I finally disabled that stupid honk with Forscan last Fall. I despise any and all nannyisms, notifications, etc. We were sleep training my son when he was an infant, and then I'd run errands while he was napping and my wife was at home with him. I'd pull the Bronco out of the garage, see...

I drove mine on Wednesday, first time in close to two months. We had to take the car seat out and move it to my wife's temporary vehicle (her F150 got totaled due to a distracted driver), so we've been driving the beater. Makes no sense to get another car seat yet since the little guy is close...

That was my first thought. That 1/8" jack connection is awful on the Kicker amps.. not enough engagement to fully seat it. I added an in-line adapter and glued it to the housing. If it disconnects partially, the amp drops the volume to practically zero. Full disconnect just means it uses the...

I don't know... I kinda like it. I can appreciate the engineering and workmanship that went into it. Is it practical? Absolutely not. Looks 1000x better than the rubber-band offset-wheel crowd though.

I nabbed mine brand new before it was even off the delivery truck at the dealership, so it never sat and "normalized" on the lot. In fact, I told the dealership not to wash or detail it at all. Judging by some of the date stamps on parts, it was fresh from factory. There was a strong "new...

Potential loss of otherwise guaranteed revenue is billable. Do I agree with how ruthless everyone out there has gotten over it? No, absolutely not. However, cancellations in peak seasons or event schedules allow those places to charge extra to the next customer, which begs the question... why...

Just throwing out a shameless plug here... DuraCoating Technology sells the best tire coating on the market. No sling, gloss or satin to suit your preference. Once my last bottle of box-store tire dressing is gone, I'm switching entirely over to DC-T. I used half a bottle of the Chemical...

Depends on the vehicle and tire. Consistent satin looks good on truck/suv tires Satin to semi-glossy on a muscle or sports car looks great. The ultra-glossy "mirror finish" look is not my thing What I do not like is a gross, faded, stained-by-mud, dry-rotted look on any tire. Living in SC...

WoolWax supposedly doesn't wash off for a few years- that might be a better option to consider than an oil spray/film that will sheet off over time. I know a few people that swear by that stuff.

If the removal of deposits was creating that level of drag and friction, it must have been a noticeable decline over time. 20+ years ago, I tossed a can of RESTORE in a '90 Mustang LX 2.3l that didn't have enough power to hit 65mph on the highway. It made a noticeable difference, despite...

The windshields or the installer? XD

That looks like it can be glued. I have had a chip about 1/4 of that size on my Bronco for 2.5 years, no problems.

The first time I saw an online finance option was around 2007 on American Muscle (back when it was a good company to work with, not the current "we ship you other people's busted returns to claim the shipping insurance" mess that it is now). It's insane how prolific it became, even on commodity...

No Ecoboost has ever sounded good. Good engines, awful sound. Even the ~$700k Ford GT sounds like an old Uhaul truck from a Northern state with a salt-rotted exhaust. My toddler recently farted through a cardboard tube and it sounded exactly like an aftermarket Ecoboost exhaust. The most I...

50% was trade-in value, the other half I financed. About to pay it off in the next few months.

sure. people -> always make thing bad thing happen -> Could be good, but probably not me -> Expect bad me -> Usually right
