    Hopefully “something big” is resolved?

    For some the the world is their pick-and-pull yard.

    I recall reading a decade or so ago, in major cities in Russia, whenever it’d start to rain, you’d see all these cars pull over, drivers reinstalling their wiper blades (previously removed for safekeeping).

    Yep; Honda's distance sensor is easy to remove. Luckily Toyota's are bolted on from the back - need to pop the hood to get to it.

    Link upset with my ad blocker, dang. This site, hands-down, is my motivation for having it.

    Tried to post a graphic of a "early" leak of the most stolen vehicles of 2024, but between howling hounds and large crashes outdoors and uncooperative graphics, huh.

    Mostly Kias and the other Korean brand, and Ford F150.

    As for dogs? Probably a bear. They usually don't get that crazy over skunks, or raccoons. And they went ballistic. Into the deep woods with deep woofs and did not return for 45 minutes.

    Who knows? I was injured several years back and one of the consequences is I lost most of my sense of smell. Handy when it is skunk -- but they were way too crazy for it to have been a skunk.
