#bustedride front lines.

Please check on that shock mount fastener along your travels... Don't need that working itself lose at highway speeds.

I have often complained that  “The big fridge, the big car, and the big grocery store are all part of one economic machine; in a sense, you cannot have one without the other two.” Now people are installing special "costco doors" to make it easier to move stuff from car to fridge.

We keep seeing this white one. But only had a chance to get a photo the one time.

Consider the key difference to the sales funnel. Person wants an R2 goes to website buys R2. Maybe goes to Rivian store, buys R2. At Chevrolet dealership the sales will find anyway they can to funnel that "opportunity" into a vehicle that makes the most money for that dealership Including used.

Major #weirdcarbs #carspotting alert. It's been a long long time since we've seen one in the wild.

I can’t remember the last time I saw any Mercury Mystique out in the wild, let alone a pre-facelift one. Mechanically identical to the Contour but typically had a higher specification. Same basic underpinnings as the Mondeo and the same 2.0 & 2.5 litre engines, but shared no body panels.

One day I'm sure we'll read about what else Trump was doing at the Washington vs Detroit Lions game, besides crashing the broadcasting booth.

Bellemare says it’s spent less than $54,000 for roughly 15,000 hours of operating costs on sustainably-produced Hydro-Québec electrons, adding that the diesel machines it replaced would have burned an estimated $423,000 of diesel over the same period.

After a company owned by the billionaire Moroun family erected a concrete plant in their quiet neighborhood, Detroit residents said they began battling air pollution so thick they could “taste the dust.” They say local and state officials have been little help.

Let's just say our fleet manager was asking what's going on we haven't seen a dealership bill yet for maintenance... Are you actually maintaining our vehicle 😂🤣 Also if we were in an apartment we'd find a way to build in trips to areas with cheap (occasionally free) L2 chargers.

@bustedride.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 2:09 PM

While we agree it's close to the price of regular gas, it's definitely still cheaper in most cases than premium, and Diesel which would offer closer satisfactory torque feel. It's also so much less maintenance than only comparing fuel cost.

What happened in our case was the physical metal on the key was wore down from consistent years of short trips. We had a spare key and compared you could see how smoothed out everything was.

@bustedride.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:50 AM

Keyed ignition? We had something happen around the 6ish year mark where key literally wore out. It'd kinda start most times. But eventually we couldnt start. We figured it out because remote start worked. Put key in, ignition cut. Anti theft thought key was wrong. Solved by using 2nd key.
