We’ve come a long way

Posted on July 28, 2022July 26, 2022 by Chris

Is an Electric Truck an option for towing?

Posted on July 12, 2022July 9, 2022 by Chris

I don’t know about you, but when I hear people talking about electric vehicles I hear a lot about torque. Knowing that a diesel also has a lot of torque and really great gas mileage while towing, that makes an electric vehicle seem like a great option for towing as well. At least it seems…

Waze Car Play Bug

Posted on September 18, 2019September 6, 2019 by Chris

We were in Florida for the cruise and rented a Ford with CarPlay. I like CarPlay because of the larger navigation map and the fact that I get to play my own music but I don’t like how it saves info from my phone to the car, specifically because this isn’t my car. That aside,…
