    Hertz to sell 20,000 EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars

    I don’t believe the prices you all are talking about. Ford Lightning qualify for the $7500 tax credit don’t they? Here are the MSRPS; How in the h3ll can a dealer ask $100,000 for any lightening? What is the dealer doing to you?

    FUEL Prices

    In the middle to late 1960’s I pumped gas at a discount 24 hour station that was the cheapest in our area. Much of that time it was about 30¢ a gallon. A hamburger at the new McDonald’s was 18¢. A 10 oz coke in a returnable bottle was a dime (after you gave the bottle back for 2¢) Compare those...

    Dont Make This Political

    My experience in NH yesterday was quite different. I arrived at our poling place with some stalwart supporters out and a private car with a huge candidate sign on top parked in a lot overfilled with voters. The line was out the door literally. I decided to come back latter and asked a pole...

    BX2816 Electric Chute Rotator

    I too used that same seat motor. It is perfect. After install I bought two beer bottle coozys and weatherproofed both the seat motor and the linear actuator I used to lift the chute angler. I know your controller is a better solution but I cheaped out and used a project box I had and two DPDT...

    Hertz to sell 20,000 EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars

    What does “repair costs” mean? I assumed it meant what it cost when a customer dented or bumped the car and it needed work. I doubt any of the EV’s will need much of any maintenance during the time the rental company owns them. Maintenance is what seems to be assumed here. Which was it? NOTE...

    Hertz to sell 20,000 EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars

    I just returned from a short trip to PHX where I was offered a Polestar or Bolt instead of the 2 door compact at the same rate as they did not have the cheap cars prepped. The Polestar was NLA when I got downstairs to drive off so I got a 2023 Bolt EUV. Nice car, powerful, large enough for 4 but...

    I've got Covid

    "There is plenty of proof out there that even N-95 masks have very limited effectiveness. Masks are a "feel good" thing." True, mask usage reduces Covid transmission by 12%. I know that is not great but along with keeping clear of people, not touching my face and using a sanitizer when eating...

    I've got Covid

    I just had to fly to AZ and back for the weekend (long boring story) and since I caretake my wife with Alzheimer’s I wore an N-95 mask for the entire time I was among people and ate in public at a table about 12 feet from anyone. Purell and everything else too. I can’t be incapacitated. I’ve had...

    When men were men and boys were men!

    I’d like to broaden not hijack this thread. When I was about 10 we had a Farmall A tractor and a set of plows among other implements. That was before 3 point hitch equipment. I remember my Dad not being able to remember or figure out how the plows attached. We were standing among a bunch of...

    Daily Chuckle

    BTW most kids couldn’t then either! I used to say it took 15 minutes not 5 to pull the VW engine but even that got me free beer whenever I had to do it. As for the average kid then, I had four different “helpers” over about as many years and not one knew which way to turn a bolt to loosen or...

    Mincemeat anyone..??

    I got the answer: December 12, 2023 Dear Ralph, Thank you for contacting The J.M. Smucker Co. to inquire about None Such® Mincemeat. Unfortunately, this product did not receive enough support and was discontinued. However, your voice of support is very important to us, and we have let the...

    Mincemeat anyone..??

    I like both and I’ve never lived in a city. The meat type uses venison in my kitchen but the purchased fruits and berries type is great too. I looked and that mince pie filling I’ve used in the past is just not available here in NH either. I sent an inquiry to Smuckers the makers of Ready to Use...

    Bent my key

    Odd. When I bought my used BX1870 it had only one key. I went in to the dealer to get a filter kit, some oil, and to ask about replacing the gage cluster. I mentioned the key to the parts man and he reached below the counter and tossed me a pair with the plastic knobs imprinted KOBOTA and said...

    What Government Mandates Save Lives?

    I ride a 1959 BMWR60. It has no headlight unless you turn it on, that is, no automatic headlight. I can blink it on and off when approaching intersections. I haven't been cut off yet. It may happen but I think the blink is a positive thing. Since the bike is 6 volt and the lights were as bad as...

    Trying to get a ROPS for an L4150

    I used to ship stuff like this by bus, greyhound etc. It was cheap and reliable. They ended service in 2022, alas. I’ve recently heard of a service that uses empty space on trucks. I haven’t tried it yet. Look at...

    can a 6 ft V4290 blade with a quick attach be used on BX1870 tractor

    I agree. I have had 5 or 6 rear blades over my tractor experience. None have failed. All bowed the blade after time due to my use of them to dislodge stumps that were beyond my tractor('s) capability and using the end to pop out rocks. All but this one were on much larger 2 and 4 WD machines...

    can a 6 ft V4290 blade with a quick attach be used on BX1870 tractor

    I have a Tartor 5 ft blade (Country Line) and my BX doesn’t really lift it high enough to avoid dragging it when going through a moderate dip. Mine has a second top link attachment fot a sub-compact tractor too. I’d say dont go larger. Mine is ok in other ways. This would be my first choice at...
