Friend of mine has one of these: https://www.ford.ca/suvs-crossovers/escape/models/escape-plug-in-hybrid/

I'd be tempted to reconfigure your circuits to supply one 32A 240V EVSE and charge the Volt from a wall plug. You can always stick the Volt on the big charger for a short splash. My Grizzl-E is set up at 24A 240VAC and it's always capable of fully charging my car overnight. Your battery is...

Use any good quality chain, lubricate it with oil, and avoid aggressively cleaning it.

This same crap happens every time any company goes through administration (or restructuring or whatever you want to call it). Creditors and suppliers eat some of the losses and what happens next, varies. Some companies may be captive suppliers, organised as a separate corporation but with KTM as...

There are no guidelines for what constitutes a "community safety zone". It can be wherever a town council wants it to be. It can be wherever a noisy complainer complains to council enough. I can point to some pretty stupid ones. Now, think MONEY. Long straight road engineered for fast traffic +...

Every single one of them is in a "community safety zone", I.e. fines doubled...

Last time through Alton, I noticed that the entire camera box had been turned a few degrees to point it angled a little outward from the roadway, instead of aimed at the adjacent traffic lane. Clever. The snowplow must have hit it. I dunno. But, nicely done.

Only if you trust Elon Musk to not flip one or more switches in the course of the current trade dispute, in addition to all the usual stuff.

Scored liners explains the oil consumption and at least part of the low compression (poor valve sealing is probably the other part of it). A good question is WHY the liners were scored. Overheating? Oil changes left too long?

As of right now, the new Dodge Charger. Batteries, and final assembly, are in Windsor.

I have some cybertruck-related entertainment for your amusement.

That piston looks fine from here, so that is good news. If the cylinder walls look decent, potentially just have them refinished ("honed") and use new rings. Appears that this engine uses cast-iron liners, so this should be simple for someone who knows what they're doing. Obviously, you found a...

You had better check with the experts on that. If the piston is the same part number then carry on. Otherwise, it needs to match or at least be compatible in many dimensions beyond just the bore size. Pin diameter, deck height, valve clearance pockets, shape of the skirts such that it clears the...

Today's mission in the Bolt was to watch some fellow SOAR bike people abuse crapbox cars on the ice in Minden. 210 km from home one way with one Flo charging station in Minden and the last one before that 87 km into the trip in Keswick. The one station in Minden is surrounded by a charging...

EV6, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 are all the same underneath. Pick whichever one you like more.

I haven't found waxes to last a year in real usage, nor be as effective in repelling dirt. The Armor Shield stuff looks like it is closer to what the professional applications use. More fussy to apply, but should last longer and work better.

Ceramic coating won't protect against rock chips or sandblasting - that's what paint protection film is for. Ceramic coating makes it easier to clean.

If plane is nose-up, which is to be expected when it is on final approach, it will be harder to see what's in front but a little below. And, both pilot and copilot will be busy with things to do at that time, and wouldn't be scanning the entire field of view for something that isn't supposed to...

I used the Mother's stuff which is available at Canadian Tire. It's easy to use, very similar to normal car wax. Might as well do the whole car at that rate. Figure on re-applying every 6 months.
