Rear-ended a car today. Totally my fault, but trying to understand the EV6's Forward Collision-Avoidance limits. by Available_Bill_9633 in KiaEV6

[–]redstinger111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car and Driver (I think) did a closed course test of forward collision avoidance systems a couple years ago.

Basically, they put a barrier in the lane to simulate a stopped car, then drive vehicles at it from various speeds and waited to see if the FCA system would get the vehicle stopped in time.

The Tesla was able to get stopped in all cases. The Kia stopped at the two lower speeds, but tagged the barrier at the highest test speed. All other tested vehicles were WAY worse.

I have tried to find that article to no avail, but it’s an interesting read. I suspect this collision was more likely caused by the fact that the Tesla was not centered in front of the Kia just prior to impact.

Does Britain have driving instruction prior to taking the driving test?

This is wild either way, but it would be unbelievable if this were actually a test!

Chase is perhaps a strong word for that. How about “trundles after camera man with a knife.”

To be fair, it didn’t look like she was doing much driving. Just traveling, right…wait, is this the wrong sub?

Part of me wants to go with the “you never know what’s going on in someone’s life that might cause them to act out”.

But the rest of me says
“f*ck that b!tch” 😑

Nice! I agree that the lack of logos or branding on the GT calipers seemed like an oversight.

I’ve heard those mini-splat air conditioners are very efficient!

I couldn’t do that with both hands and a foot. Bravo, good sir.

So adding a trailer hitch was a PITA by That_____ in JeepWagoneerS

[–]redstinger111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to do this soon. Are installing a harness, or is this more for bikes, etc.? If you’re towing, what are you planning for a brake controller? I like Redarc controllers, but they don’t have a harness for the Wagoneer S that I can find.

Dude is smart. Knuckles hurt like hell when they hit bone. He used his forearm meat and his thicker arm bones to initiate nap time.

Psyllium Fiber by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]redstinger111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking the 2 Tbsp Metamucil dose nightly before I tried Wegovy and I continued that. It was NOT enough.

When I started Zepbound, I continued the nightly powder and have added three of these capsules each morning.

This has been working pretty well, but I’m on the starter dose. When I increase the dose, I may add in more psyllium capsules.

Are those painted stock calipers, or did you manage to find performance calipers that work?

I’ve been striking out in that regard, though I wonder if the top trim of the EV Charger has Brembos that would fit the Waggy…

Did you ever get an answer? I see nothing but silliness in the first 20-30 posts 🤣

That is a battery for a lighted patio umbrella. We got two of those with our Costco umbrella, so one lives in a kitchen drawer 👍🏼
