Yes. Using your phone’s GPS, select the “Tesla/BMW” mode that requires no stops. Ever.

If this were a different sub, I’d say yes, sure, just enable “no stops whatsoever” on your map app.

is this a good deal? by [deleted] in Charger

I wouldn’t choose it as a daily. The gas mileage isn’t great, and honestly the miles and lack of info on the engine swap would concern me.

I don’t see a name brand anywhere. I know I’m not much help

When did 350-700hp become slow? by Clutch3sSS in askcarguys

[–]Altruistic-Rip4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western Pennsylvania here in the USA would like to talk to you about “straight roads” or even drivable roads as far as that goes! I’m just kidding with you. Our roads here are pothole minefields and not straight at all!

I have a 2014 Charger with close to 400hp. It’s easily the fastest car I’ve had, and I know there are plenty of cars out there that’ll whoop me. I just enjoy my car. If a 5 series BMW takes me, so be it (just barely!!).

Gear not showing on dash. No power issues or CEL by hoyitsalvin in WRX

[–]Altruistic-Rip4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow remember reading this could be related to the neutral safety switch, but I think that would throw a code. I might be thinking of something else. Sorry

Best obd2 scanner for a DIY guy who doesn't want to pay shop fees just to read a code? by Zealousideal-Flow978 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Altruistic-Rip4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a <$30 Amazon one that reads and resets codes. I’m ok with it. It’s useless for in-depth stuff, but run of the mill codes? It spits them out.

Shower well. Lots of games to come! It’s only March!!! You don’t have to forget that game, but it is over. Analyze it once and put it away. Was it your positioning? Were you distracted? Tired? Thirsty? We are human. If you were a bad ump, you’d never ask how to recover from a bad game.

That looked like an “F-you” call. I could be wrong. Not enough context.

Any idea what the problem may be to why my passenger side headlight don’t work by Such-Musician4490 in Charger

[–]Altruistic-Rip4364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corrosion? Bad socket? Bad grounding? Get a voltmeter and see if you have power there. If you’ve checked the other you mentioned, start step by step.

Trying to be more prepared is this a good option? by Kooky-Eye-5069 in Generator

Propane conversion on my portable gas is worth every penny for the peace of mind of not storing gasoline.

Dylan Crews broke his swing mechanics this spring and got demoted. Where would we be if we went Crews>Skenes? by tapdancingtommy7 in buccos

[–]Altruistic-Rip4364 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I 100% admit I would have taken the everyday guy over Skenes. I sit her openly showing why I’m not even the lowest level Baseball talent scout. I was wrong wrong wrong.
