the scam became very visual recently. I saw a news segment on 60 Minutes. They were extracting the gases out of the air. Here is a brief on the subject, you can actually see the solidified carbon barsFLORIDARAYDAH wrote Tue Jun 06, 2023 4:32 am:You even found a conspiracy in the car thread

aftermarket grills are easy to come by and equally easy to install. The eye thing, that can be deactivated but I am with you on this. I drive my cars, I do not let them think they know what I want and execute for me.Amish Cabal wrote Tue Jun 06, 2023 10:32 am:New BMWs are ugly af. Hate the new front grills.

I would by an EV in a New York minute if they were the equal of an ICE. Unfortunately they are nowhere near it.Sold My Soul wrote Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:46 pm:EV's are the future. I agree the US in not ready.
There are trillions of dollars in incentives by the worlds carbon manufacturers, suppliers, and corporations who want to delay as long as possible, the inevitable.

couple that with the fact that a huge number of charging stations just do not work. I work from home and rarely drive over 100 miles in a day and still do not want one. Way over priced and the technology is just not there yet with battery production. I am by no means a real gearhead but I do know a thing or two about cars and there is a reason why combustion engines are so reliable, they have 100 years worth of production improvements to go off of. EVs are really infants in the industry.16 to 88 » Thu Jun 08, 2023 10:38 am

the new challengers are just not my ride. I much prefer the new shelby body types visually. That being said, they both are tough cars for sure.

Don't let a 5 minute fix on a plastic fuel tube sway you. Great trucks. I have a 2000 with just under 300k miles and a 2019. Not many problems at all after all these years. My 2000 has been grossly overloaded and generally abused for years . I bought it in 2001 with 10k miles and hope it goes for a few more years. I never have 2nd thoughts about taking it anywhereSold My Soul wrote Sat Aug 12, 2023 10:12 pm:Thinking about buying a Toyota Tundra.....might want to rethink it.
Toyota recalls Tundra models in largest recall this year
Toyota has issued a voluntary recall for certain 2022 and 2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks in its largest recall of 2023.
The manufacturer announced Thursday 168,000 vehicles in the US have a plastic fuel tube which could “rub against a brake line and develop a fuel leak.” The leak could potentially cause a fire “in the presence of an ignition source,” Toyota added.
The company will replace the tube for free and is preparing to make the replacement parts available. In the meantime, Toyota said its dealers “will install protective materials and a clamp on the fuel tube at no cost to customers.”
Toyota will notify vehicle owners who are affected by the faulty part by early October. Owners can visit Toyota.com/recall and enter either their VIN number or license plate information to see whether their car is included in the recall.
This is the seventh recall involving the 2022 or 2023 Tundra model. Previous recalls included problems with the car’s electronic parking brake system, loose axle nuts, and a software issue with the vehicle’s rearview camera.
In March, Toyota conducted a safety recall in the US of about 130,000 2022 and 2023 Tundras, due to a truck-bed cover that could detach from the vehicle, making it a potential crash hazard.
The most recent Tundra recall was on July 7. It involved improperly welded chains which are used to hold a spare tire underneath the vehicle.
