Yes. Also the weighted edge will become encrusted with whatever is on the ground so you have to be extra careful going on and off which is why I haven't jumped on the idea. I wonder tho if you first put on a lightweight "fitted" indoor car cover and then the Coverseal over top of it? I don't...

I've never tried one of these, but after a mouse surgically clipped 17 wires in my old Jag sedan, my brother sent me a link to these covers. https://www.getcoverseal.com/collections/car-covers I don't know but it might provide a little more protection against the salt air too.

I keep my pickup and an old Jaguar sedan under covers and under carports. Just being exposed outdoors damages the paint regardless of what kind of cover it has on it. Its the wind that blows dirt up under it and then blows the cover around. If you're parking location is fairly well protected...

There's lots of videos online showing them ignoring all sorts of repellents to get at food. I think that may be the kicker. If there's any food, or rodent sex, on the other side of the barrier, the repellents won't work. Keep all the trees and vegetation away from the building too. They...

Having had 13 Supras, I had to vote for a big single :wink: . Started ages ago back when a local shop called Cartech offered a turbo kit for non-turbo mk2s. Only I used the factory turbo from the mk3 and the Cartech add-ons to manage the fuel and ignition on an imported and rebuilt 6m-ge...

Because the car hobby is not logical. When I was right out of college, I was doing autocross with my Supra. I kept doing mods even tho I couldn't really afford it and creeping up into higher and more competitive classes and never winning. There was a local guy with a bone stock 89 Honda Civic...

I've had three now, well three and a half if you sort of count its fox-bodied cousin as I had a Capri RS that I drove through college and for a few years after back in the 80s. First Mustang was a 1966 289 coupe, fairly base model that was my first full 3-year restoration project. Second was a...

My father started saying that after he retired about each of his last six vehicle purchases. He's 87 now and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for seven or eight.

And in fifteen or twenty years, 90% of 2024 Mustangs will be gone because they're just going to be treated like any other car. But probably 90% of the ones that get this preventative fix will still be around and in pretty good shape because they're getting special enthusiast treatment. At...

Well, posted too soon. Apparently the update switched my phone to bluetooth and I didn't notice. Had to switch back to wifi to use Waze through Carplay and its back to freaking out near the office building. A co-worker's BMW behaves the same way so I guess its not just Ford.

I got 6.2.0 last night. I think its the first. But it actually appears to have fixed a bug. I'm usually streaming Apple music and my infotainment system screen had always flaked out when I got within about 500 feet of my office building downtown in the morning and would stabilize as I got...

I remember an interesting news story from 30 years ago. A local junior high science class convinced the local Ford dealer to let them conduct an experiment. They placed thermometers in 100 Ford Taurus where they could be observed through a window and monitored them on a Sunday while the dealer...

Anyone in the DFW area will remember Ed Wallace on the radio on Saturday mornings. It was a couple years ago before he announced he would be retiring, in the early morning segment where he would have a dealership general manager or two on to talk about trends in the market. They discussed this...

When I saw the thread title, I thought "What! No more SUVs? - Gotta be clickbait." Oh well, you got me. My previous daily driver (and now occasional) is a 2012 Jaguar XF 5.0. I figured when I bought the XF that it would be my last V8 sedan, the way everything was going to smaller engines...

I have a bit of an angle where a driveway slopes up to a flat shop floor. A couple years ago I bought a Lotus with very little ground clearance and it would high-center and drag the exhaust across the peak. I think the off-roaders refer to it as the breakover angle. Solution...

This is always a big one to me even for some stuff that would be warranty work. A lot of simple repairs, I can do myself in a fraction of the time that it would take me to drive to the nearest dealer, drop it off, uber back home, then uber back to the dealer in two or three days, do paperwork...

Barely 1,300 miles and already got a chip on the passenger side, a four-point star about 1/4" across and a chunk out of the center. Don't know how, but I've managed to go more than a decade without getting one like this on my other cars. Tiny little pits yes, but not a star. I've never tried...

I bought another dash cam with a rear camera and the cable is 23 feet long. I only need like three or four feet. I've been searching the internet high and low and can only find cables of several meters in length as if they anticipate everyone is installing these dash cams in an MCI bus. I...

As to the 110 vs 220, if I were a working shop trying to make money, the slow speed of the 110 would be maddening. For a hobby situation tho, it may not be worth re-wiring your garage if there's already a 110 convenient. As I recall, mine did call for a 20amp outlet instead of a typical...

I bought a similar lift nearly 20 years ago and now its hard to imagine life without it. If y'all haven't already, I highly recommend also springing for a pair of bridge jacks. Then you have like 85% of the functionality of a 2-post lift as well. About the only thing you still couldn't do...
