The JL got the award for the best overall value in a popular vehicle. The article said that they expect it to retain 81% of its value over five years. Impressive! They said: The IntelliChoice Best Overall Value of the Year awards identify the vehicles with the lowest total cost to own and...

I see you are from Australia so you would know better than most. I have about 15k miles on them with fairly significant miles off road, and no leaks. They are expensive. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I am running OME PB 51’s which are bypass and adjustable on both compression and rebound. I like them a lot and have found the adjustability quite functional at times, but complicated. These shocks don’t seem to get much press here or elsewhere. I am throwing them in for discussion as the OP...

Brute, you do know your wines. I completely agree on Sauternes. People that say they do not like sweet wines are thinking of something else. I opened this 03 Guiraud a couple nights ago and just poured another. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Last week I was riding a Jeep dealer lot with a salesman in his cart. An odd noise came from the cart and I commented that we needed to find a mechanic. He said: “There are no mechanics left at car dealers. There are only people that read computers that tell them which part to take off and...

You are right. It is a subsidy to farmers, in the sense that it puts farmers in the energy business. However, because corn is a commodity, no one supplier gets an advantage over another. Tens of thousands of farmers are growing corn and they get about $3.50 a bushel (56 pounds). The energy...

The history of ethanol is convoluted. Some argue that it is good for the environment and others say the opposite. Historically oil companies and oil state senators oppose ethanol. Farmers and farm state senators are in favor of it. If you are an oil company with petroleum in the ground you...

As Eddie and others have said, old iron and some small engines were not built for ethanol blend fuel. However, modern engines are specifically designed to use ethanol’s ability to oxygenate fuel. NASCAR uses a 15% blend and Indy cars use almost 100% Ethanol. And yes, I buy pure gasoline for my...

Since the concept of our Jeeps started out as Government Property vehicles for war, I thought it might be interesting to keep up with what the US Military has in mind for future such vehicles. Recently DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has unveiled prototypes of their...

Came across this. Appears original and pretty rough inside but sound otherwise. Did not get a chance to talk with the owner. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I had an interesting South African wine this week, it was 100% cinsault. I don’t really recall ever having a 100% one before, as it is generally a blending wine. It was a bit fruity and soft for my taste but I see why it is used in blending. By the way, this is called Hermitage in SA, hence, as...

Puna Geothermal actually provided almost 29% of the electric power for Big Island in 2017. My company provided the equipment to remove the pentane there and we are heavily involved with biofuels for HECO in Hawaii. BI led the state with over 40% of its energy from non petroleum, actually quite a...

We had the same issue with the cruise. Cycling the ignition did not help. I think putting it into 4 low might have resolved it as that automatically deactivates ESC. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

This week driving to Roswell, New Mexico, from the north, I was in a strong cross wind from the west. I was having to steer up into the wind to track straight. In essence I was slightly steering to the right. A stronger gust pushed me to the left and I steered abruptly to the right. The ESC/ABS...
