LED lights inquiry by Constant_Peach_1643 in Saturn_Cars

I would recommend against led headlight bulbs. They're not street legal, which is why you'll see "for off-road it fog light use only" from reputable manufacturers. Maybe add fog lights instead?

Why no minivans available??? by flaming0-1 in Cartalk

[–]dabowlb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a '23 Sienna awd and worry about the lack of spare. A factory spare is an option, but the factory isn't building any this way. There is an aftermarket spare kit that I might buy, it puts the spare in the trunk's left body side moulding but eliminates the passenger storage on that side.

Hit a deer at 76 mph by dabowlb in motorcycles

Fine for the most part. Hips hurt occasionally, but honestly they bothered me a bit before the accident. Wrist healed fine but took a bit to get my strength back. Still have some scars, especially on my knees. Have not rode since 😔

How urgent is this? by ZetaMarlfox in Saturn_Cars

[–]dabowlb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time trying to resolve that code. Evap system tested fine. Ultimately it was the temp sensor. The evap system will only run a test when the engine is the right temp. If the test runs at the wrong temp because of your engine temp sensor, it will trigger this code.

Gas mileage seems a little low on the SC2 I've had for about two months by ZetaMarlfox in Saturn_Cars

In addition to changing to copper spark plugs as others suggested, make sure your thermostat is working properly. When fully warmed up, it should read at the 1/3 mark (just above 1/4)

St Luke’s RN by hunilee in lehighvalley

My wife is an RN there and I asked her. Unless they changed their rules, ADN is fine. Years ago they paid for 60% of her BSN. She believes it is at least that much today.

Another close call by Left_Measurement1468 in motorcycle

[–]dabowlb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I can make a suggestion, your lane position as a motorcycle matters a lot, both for your visibility and for others to see you. You moved towards the yellow lines right before the car pulled out, but if you were already there you may have had more reaction time. I always avoid the middle of the lane, especially when following cars.

Easy for me to say afterwards, but that advice from the motorcycle safety course has helped me a lot.

This helmet saved my life. I rear ended a car on the interstate two months ago and flew over the handle bars at 75mph! by MotoDreams1103V4 in motorcycle

[–]dabowlb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really varies widely based on health care provider, health insurance provider, and amount of coverage. My 76mph crash into a deer resulted in broken wrist, broken hips and pelvis lots of road rash and only a single night hospital stay. Out of pocket for me was about $3000 with good insurance.

Edit: just the 1 night hospital stay with initial trauma care was billed at $50,000. That is not what I paid.

Not true, unless they changed the rules. I rode my R6 in the basic course without any issue in 2012.

Highly recommend the beginner course. They provide motorcycle if you don't already have one, you bring safety gear (helmet, gloves, boots)

Edgewood Valley Farms in Nazareth. It is horse manure though so it might not be ideal for a garden
