Yea, I know I’m in SoCal. Eventhough snow was wished upon me, I seriously doubt it will happen.
But, to ensure I don’t have a repeat of what happened earlier this year, I will be replacing all 4 tires on Roxy today. (Read on…)
EDIT jSchwa found a link to the actual video you can check out here (wmv)
I keep hearing about this, but I don’t think it’s quite ready for prime-time:
In the programme, Mercedes drives 3 S-classes behind each other. The first car hits the brakes, and the two following cars brake down automatically, to avoid a crash. In theory. In practice, the first car braked, and the two others continued right into the back of each other, resulting in a 3-car pile-up at the test site.
In the article they go on to say that the problem was the hall where the test was conducted. It was made of steel.
So, what happens if you need this to work while you are on a suspension bridge? Or some tunnels?
You out there among us that DON’T have Xenon headlamps…did you know that nothing more than a paper clip with some clever bends in it holds your headlamp bulb in place? No screws, no washers, just a paper clip.
Somehow I thought it would be more, especially since on my first car took 4 screws just to remove the bulb.
Sorry, no how-to link. I looked and searched and gave up before it go too dark for me to see. If you know of one, please leave it in the comments.
I can’t show it to you, but this years Motoringfile gift guide is almost complete!
It’s slick, as you would expect, and chock full ‘o information and reviews about all those nifty gadgets we MINI freaks drool over!
Keep an eye out. I have a feeling it will be ready this week!
Driving into work today (yes, I had to work, but only a half day) all of the freeway information signs have the following posted:
Buckle up it’s the law!
Not sure about you, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do this. Even my grandparents get into their Honda Civic Hybrid and buckle up. Of course they were late adopters, as was my Dad, but they are still doing it.
Anyone out there know anyone that still doesn’t buckle up?
