I changed the oil in my Leaf a couple of weeks ago. It has a reduction gearbox that holds a couple quarts of transmission fluid.

Catoosa, OK used to be infamous in the late 1990's. It's on Rt 66, and back then thry would stop you for any reason they could make up. It became a large enough problem that businesses started to leave, because neither customers nor employees wamted to risk driving there.

Something happened around the mid 2000's, and the police became lesa crazy. Since then the town has exploded in size.

Theyre held on with band clamps/hose clamps.

I waa trying and probably failing to explain to someone that no matter who you are or what you believe, one day the fascists will demand of you something you don't want to do.

Even if you're a cop.

I once came home to a beautiful crecorpia moth, as wide as my hand is long. It was so colorful.

Fuel contamination is a really interesting subject.

But we won't know for sure unless we try.

And of course if they are gone, they won't be there to kick and scream like children against every step of progress.

The Android Auto still works, but to be completely and embarassingly honest, I have had a car with bluetooth for ten years and I think I have only used it once. I'm just weird like that. I just put some tunes on a USB and its good enough.

I have an older EV that used 3G for app access and maybe other stuff I haven't noticed. It still runs but I can't do things like tell it to preheat/cool the cabin from my phone. Its not an issue for me personally, the car has a timer function, and I can just set it to cool down at x time.

But its interesting seeing abandoned protocols.

Oh that's probably the real reason.

The Jimmy is the GMC vehicle in the US. The Jimny, spelled J I M N Y, was the suzuki I was talking about. Its an easy mistake to make, or at least its an easy mistake I have made before. 😂
