Motronic posted:The Pennsylvania Turnpike is owned by the....wait for it...wait for it....Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. They fight with PennDOT like carts and dogs, as PennDOT has been trying to take over or get millions of dollars of highway funding back from PTC. They owe them something like $450 million dollars a year now, and all they get is some lousy maintenance. Is this one of those turnpikes owned by a sovereign wealth fund through a bunch of shady companies that Matt Taibbi writes about?

Wouldn't doing it on a car with catalytic converters cause all the poo poo that loosens to clog up the cats?

Computer viking posted:Corner to corner in Finnmark (the northernmost county in Norway) is apparently about 15 hours if you stay within the border. Cutting through Finland would save about one hour. I've done Honningsvåg to Stockholm in one day. 1703 km, 16 hours and 45 minutes. 4 stops. Did it in the manual 1993 BMW 530i Touring I owned at the time, and averaged 1,2L/10km.

Computer viking posted:Ha, Google thinks that should have taken you 21 and half hours. At a guess, the roads up in north Sweden are straight and empty? Yeah, this was a Sunday if I remember right, and traffic the whole E4 was very light. What was funny was that as I got a bit into Northern Sweden I started noticing that every third car was an old american convertible, filled with guys dressed up as greasers and girls with polkadot dresses and other 50s looks. I thought to myself that there was probably an amcar meet going on in the area, but I kept seeing that sort of thing almost all the way to Uppsala, so the raggare was strong in Sweden that Sunday in 2007!

In my BMW E91, there is a 10 amp fuse that controls two things: 1) The HVAC control panel 2) A light bulb at the bottom edge of the rear hatch, visible as the red spot next to the latch here :  What do you think happen when that light bulb socket on the hatch gets smacked every time the hatch is opened and closed, and builds up a nice layer of corrosion on the contacts after years of sitting next to a cold and wet gap on the car? Exactly, your HVAC is dead, your windows are fogging up, and you have no idea why. I went through 4-5 fuses and considered replacing my HVAC controls before it finally occured to me to replace the $12 socket module. Ever since that the HVAC panel has worked perfectly.

shame on an IGA posted:There are no non haunted euro electrical systems. I once had a VW Rabbit Pickup with the horn shorted through the gearstick. I had a 1986 Audi 80CC where the ignition somehow shorted through the reverse switch. Backed into a parking spot, turned off the ignition and pulled the key out. Engine still ran. Put the car into neutral, and the engine stopped.

I had an Audi 80CC where I could put it in reverse, then pull out the key, and it would keep running. Put it in neutral or any other gear, and the engine would stop.

WTFBEES posted:I am a fan of this, particularly when it's only the driver's door opening that kills the radio. Sometimes you've gotta catch the end of the podcast before getting out of the car. I bought a 2015 BMW 3-series, and it did not shut off the radio until you actually lock the drivers door. It feels very unnatural to get out of the car, close the door and still see the screen on and hear the radio playing. A bluetooth adapter and a few minutes with a coding app later, and the car now shuts off the radio when you open the drivers door... most of the time.

Alarbus posted:Take your foot off the brake pedal and push the start/stop button again, and it should shut the car off. Turning the car off twice, a perfectly normal thing. I restarted it ONCE and decided this wasn't for me. It's only getting worse. https://www.carthrottle.com/news/ignition-modern-bmw-doesnt-turn-until-you-lock-it-and-i-dont-get-why
