Was there an ‘oh crap’ moment at the KFC drive thru? The chute doesn’t look like it would clear a canopy or awning…

Rusty, the not-so-mini dachshund passed onto greener pastures a year and a half ago at the age of 18. (Driveway alarm, high decibel edition) Last spring we were joined by Freya, a rescue wolfhound/lab mix. Then: Now

Look up arch pipe. Or it could be called elliptical in your area. Or talk to the DOT and see if putting in pipe runs alongside of each other is acceptable.

This thread is about electric vehicles. Political opinions are worse than normal opinions because they come from the body part we relate to opinions. The Silverado EV was introduced, it seems the Avalanche is back.

There is some legacy automakers that now sell BEVs, and some new companies that only make BEVs. Please list the companies new to the industry, that sell EVs in the US, that don’t build them in the US. Or just list the EV models produced by domestic automakers not made in the US.

But no sign of the HVAC…..

Hay Dude, how many car batteries end up in a landfill? Around here, they get recycled.

Fuddy, your math checks out. As long as: You never replace your current truck. If you do, I would think those numbers apply to a gas or diesel truck also. Imo, solar systems currently don’t pencil out when I pay .08-.13 for electricity. Unfortunately, that is going to drastically change. Xcel...
