    For me, $0.45-$0.57* CAD per Kilometre. Based on the Nissans' , Ford, VW Passat we have or had. *The 2004 Passat Wagon was the most expensive one at $0.57 CAD per Km - as recently as 2018 data.

    Hydraulic Oil Filter... Why?

    However the salesman for those filters put all his kids through college and retired to Boca, so there's that.

    What Factors Are Swaying EV Adoption in the U.S.?

    I buy a $300 cell phone with full awareness that it will be outdated in less than 6-8 months. I keep it 28-30 months then upgrade. The pace of improvements is so fast, it would really scare me to spend 60K on a EV and have it resemble my cell phone pattern.

    New mechanical tip

    Well I see somethings are not correct...the carb's seem a bit restrictive, and the fan belt will last forever unless dry rot prevails.

    Picked up a Weishi 1000 Timegrapher

    I've had a Weishi for about 10 years now, it does help but you really need to know the lift angle for the movement. Using the wrong LA will affect the accuracy of the data output by the timing machine. The website https://calibercorner.com/ will help you find what you need.

    Looks like the engine was happy? or maybe the old parts were happy to leave? How much time to do the timing job?

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    Tesla Cybertruck Hit With Stop-Sale Because of Unintended Acceleratiom Report

    Yes on both. I remember his frequent visits to Vancouver and staying at the Bayshore Inn - renting the whole floor. Vancouverites only learned about his visits after he'd been there for about a month. No internet back then.

    That's the coupler. There will be options, a lower kilometre used unit, or I just pay the dealer price. I like the QX60 and I usually keep my cars 10 years min, so not interested in trading it.

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    My 2019 QX60 is 4500 km out of powertrain warranty, but still within the time limit - said with my 'grasping at straws' face. My AWD system is making a clicking / popping noise when I reverse with the steering is hard to left or right. This is high probability of the rear electronic coupler on...
