  1. This car was designed with back up cameras and blind spot sensors in mind. Buying it without is asking for higher insurance.
  2. The missus has a 2014 Sonic ... terrible blindspots. Honestly, I've driven delivery vans with better visibility.
  3. Now why would he do that when Hyundai has a 5.0 for the Genesis that makes more power than the car can handle?
  4. I've said many times ... if you want to kill someone .. go get drunk and drive into them on the road (without talking about it). Penalties are absurdly low for what by rights should be clear cut homoside.
  5. http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2017/09/27/22755292.html
  6. Alright ... and? What's the rest of the story. That's the past .. what's this car's future?
  7. Reading this morning that a Texas Firefighter's retirement fund is the latest bunch to file suit against Uber. Reportedly, they average 1.8 lawsuits per day. Damn ... you'd think Trump was their CEO or something.
  8. That's pretty much the definition of Uber ... the taxi service that tries to skirt the need for a taxi permit.
  9. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41406850#
  10. It's also called 'making sure that pesky 4 wheeler can't exit for the next 40 miles' in common trucker lingo.
  11. Older cases are the perfect thickness for auto body rust repair. An old AT case can carry a 75lbs monitor and average 14ga. My old Sonoma's entire floor and much of the firewall was Compaq. You could say it was a compaq truck .... if you were the type to go for a lame joke like that .... That and they're generally free for the taking.
  12. At the price of keys today ... I think that bumps the charges up to grand larceny territory.
  13. As they say ... Russians can build cars to handle Canuck winters ... French can build cars to carry bread home from the market.
  14. Disgusting that it's necessary to work on brakes. Something like this should by necessity be automatically included with that ABS module. There's also a required tool to hold the partitioning valve centred ... needs 2 of them for the 4 wheel ABS. J39177. $20 a piece .. I can make them with some old computer case tabs that I've got lying about.
  15. I'm curious how much input the Frogs have had. It's a Lada I want, not the latest Le Car.
  16. OK, short update. Finally some good news. Turns out that my Snap On MT-2500 WILL cycle the GMCs abs solenoids ... but not with any of the normal Primary cartridges. But the black VCI module will. A browse of Fleabay turned up several, but averaging over $200 each .. but then I found someone, probably a liquidator, selling bits and pieces of a MT-2500 kit individually. He had the Vehicle Communication Interface and the Troubleshooter interface both for under $140US. Snapped it up and that's that. Went looking for the personality key ... k9 for GMs ... turns out that key doesn't look like much more than a jumper. The traces are visible and I don't think I'll have any need to buy one to copy it.
  17. Big whoop. Show me stopping and starting every 100 feet. In -20C with snow on the road.
  18. Yer welcome anytime ... just take what you see. Hell, any roofers here? The cottage roof is a simple affair but needs done pronto. What I want to see is if the flashers work. I've never seen a BMW with working ones.
  19. It takes a pro about 10 minutes to clone a phone.
  20. It's always been my understanding that you're best to leave sleeping dogs lie. I definitely would not use air in any way. Run the hot water heater up as high as it'll go, and empty it through the block as a clean water flush and leave it at that. No high pressure needed ... with the maze of passages, your pressure isn't going to do anything anyhow. Thermal expansion and contraction means anything stuck to the walls is well stuck and not going anywhere. Anything else and you're poking a wasp nest with a stick.
  21. Saw them prominently portrayed in several of Streetspeed717's videos of recent.
