I haven't driven that much equipment in my life but i have always been able to hope in and figure it out in 1 minute or so. Now this John Deere skid steer we got confuses the fuck out of me.
We had a 2018 BMW X6 M in the shop, it took 2 gear heads a Google search to figure out how to put it in Park. ***Spoiler Alert*** You don't. You just shut the car off.
Looking at a coworker’s car he didn’t have a shift knob of any sort. Looked like a digital display where it should have been. None on the tree as I could see. I was perplexed how you’d put it in drive or reverse.
Y’all know i did my first husband’s vasectomy right? And - if you do get snipped don’t expect it to be effective til they check for motility. Before they confirm your count is 0 you can still have another 18 years.
There’s a restaurant in Atlanta that serves Kangaroo tail sashimi style. It’s surprisingly tender. Theres an exotic meat website selling guinea pig and iguana. No thanks.
Yep, that's essentially what happened in the PNW with the salmon population. Commercial canneries really did a number on the population. Its taken decades plus a ton of funding, resources, and season management to get the numbers back up to even close to normal. And they are not anywhere close to what they used to be a couple hundred years ago. Keeping wild game off limits for commercial use allows it to be abundantly available for the individual.
Wow, just when I thought German cars couldn't get any stupider... What if you want to leave the car running while you get out? One time we had an Audi in the shop, and it had electronic parking brakes that would automatically apply whenever you turned the car off. Well, we needed to push it out of the shop, and we ended up having to unplug them to get it out of there.
Why can’t they come out with a feature that turns your lights off after an hour if the car isn’t running?
Correct. Start the car, select Drive, go to your destination, when you get there, keep your foot on the brake and just turn the car off. Felt so wrong. @dixiebandit69 - As you know, cars these days are getting nuts. We had something (Acura?) that you couldn't move the car with the door open. I hopped in and tried to move it a few feet but it'd move an inch and then just lock down. Took me a few tries to figure it out. Brand new 2019 Benz GLC in the shop that had rock chips all over the front end, we replaced the headlights and painted the hood. Every time we moved the car without the headlamps installed, the owner got an email that there was a lamp malfunction and to take to the dealer asap. My favorite vehicle of late is a 2018 Jeep Trackhawk. Not the HEMI Trailhawk, not the SRT8, but the bad ass, 707hp Hellcat motor Trackhawk. 0-60 in 3.5, top speed of 180. Yes please.
That just hurts my head thinking about it. Yea the trackhawk will be nice in a few years once the depreciation really hits and you can get them for a good price.
They've had that since the '90s. They're called lighting control modules. Typically, they turn the lights off after 10-15 minutes. What kind of car do you have?
All the cars I have purchased in the past 20 years have this feature, including my 2004 Silverado, which is as basic as it gets. Even my dome light turns itself off after 10 minutes, if I leave it on.
The last time I had to even remember to turn my lights on or off was with my old 90's Jeep... every other vehicle was just "start and go" and it figured out the lights automatically.
2015 Jeep Wrangler. Headlights are manual. They probably automatically turnoff. I’ve just been so paranoid over the years I’ve never tested it out and/or haven’t needed to.
I'm pretty sure that by 2015, they shut off automatically. But then again, this is Mopar we're talking about...
I just keep my wrangler set to “auto” and never dick with it, unless The Husband has been driving it.
Meat Eater on Netflix is my new favorite show. Aside from the beautiful views, Steve’s views on conservation are inspiring.
