  1. Where I live the government tends to repair the same stretch of perfectly fine road every year while ignoring nearby roads that are in atrocious condition. In particular the main street of the city is in terrible condition and is just getting worse, its not some back road, its the main street of a city of 300,000.

  2. Pretty sure the Exhaust heat would melt the LED thing after a short time.

  3. Visor extenders are useful, but the attachment mechanism is always the weak point, and those ones are just crap. I've had several in my car because when the sun is just right it glares below the visor and sunglasses are not enough to block it, I need that second layer of plastic screen. The ones I've used had plastic clips and seemed to be designed to attach to the top of the visor instead of the bottom, which is daft, anyway they just flip down on a hinge. Had 4 over the years, broken 2 of them, one arrived broken , still have one passenger side and I still use it when the sun is just wrong./

  4. AC is more efficient than windows down at speeds over 75 mph. Varies a bit depending on type of car and AC, but in general you need to be doing about 70 mph for it to be more efficient than windows down. However, windows up and AC off will definitely save you fuel at any speed.

  5. What annoys me is you can put a H2 pump in any fuel station, as easy to fuel up as with LPG, but instead of promoting H2 governments are putting EV charge stations everywhere which take hours per car and take up valuable parking space.

  6. Best thing to do is use Cruise Control, makes the car maintain speed, also accelerates more smoothly when getting back up to speed.

  7. The ladder is useful if you have something on the roof. Roof-rack, Bike Rack, Tent, Spare Wheel, whatever. Without roof accessories it's just stupid. Not half as stupid as going off-roading with a couple of metal bars instead of a door though, enjoy the mud Jimmy?

  8. Tyres, especially tyre pressure. Regular checks to see if indicators, trail lights and brake lights are functional. Front lights too, but you tend to notice if one of them stops working. Also, basic check is oil levels, full replacement is needed a lot less often than top ups. Should be checked weekly, monthly at the least.

  9. Safer than normal tents too, don't have to worry so much about bears and whatnot as much, even just ants. And not having to clean the mud off the bottom when packing up could be worth the price by itself.

  10. The guy with the mop hair just seems perfect for AFL to me, maybe its the numbered T-shirt. I wonder, has he ever played Aussie Rules?

  11. That electric ice scraper might just be effective for the level of Ice we get in a Victorian winter on the plains, not the mountains. Although I generally find a bottle of tap water works well enough. It's never so cold that refreezing is a huge concern, its generally already above zero by morning.

  12. I can buy a full size squeegee from a Variety Sop for about $2.50, no shipping required. Works on windows as well as mirrors.

  13. Lockboxes like that keysafe.... see what the Lockpicking Lawyer thinks.

  14. Not sure how its supposed to replace pliers.

  15. Or a shifting spanner.

  16. And this is why a proper heavy-duty bull-bar is full wrap around with bars locked to the rock sliders.

  17. Commodores suck.

  18. All very good, but when the blinded oncoming traffic crashes into you, is it worth it then?

  19. I'd be wearing goggles as well as the breathing apparatus, you don't want that shit in your eyes.

  20. Quality and Comfort are also extremely important, which is why Bugatti wins without challenge.

  21. The California Immobilizer. Product of Canada.

  22. Sun visors, while their intended purpose is not that useful, replacing standard opaque visor with a see-through one, I ordered several to deal with sun glare when driving directly into sunrise/sunset and sunglasses not being enough. Of the 4 different ones I ordered 2 arrived 'broken in transit', and the packaging I must say looked pretty battered and could easily have been from the 1980s. The others did work attached to the bottom of the car visor as you first attempted. Combining the shaded visor with sunglasses lets me see enough to drive safely, although the image is slightly distorted, much more useful application than simply replacing the normal visor. Did break one though as the bottom of the visor was slightly too large for the clip, but hey, they don't actually make see-through visors to hang below the existing sunshade for those sunrise/sunset blinded moments. Also works to block headlight glare at night.

  23. Moral of the story, don't randomly spray petrol over things.

  24. They named a medical centre after the man who killed public heathcare in the USA. Sponsored by private health insurance I presume.

  25. Red? Looks pink. Unless that's YouTube compression.

  26. You've never had to break sharply and had everything stored on your passenger seat fly off into the footwell?

  27. Where's the boat? Anyway, we all know the real answer is motorcycle.

  28. Annoys me that oil bottles don't have built in funnels/filler tubes. I swear they did back in the 90s. Anyway, always keep a funnel in your boot, the annoying part is then dealing with an oily funnel.

  29. You missed one. Simple Glass/plastic plate over the plate. Some new cars have them and they can fool cheap software I believe, probably not a RLC though; more about not getting through boomgates you should be able to get through at jobsites you're registered at because the camera can't read your plate. Those cameras also have trouble with white on black plates.

  30. Its not a sport.

  36. Back in the 90s my Dad had a car brush with a spinning thing in the middle, it also had a reservoir for soap. And apart from the steady water source it was really no better than a standard brush.

  37. Auto racing is one area where it makes zero sense to have separate records for men and women. It makes sense in any physical sport whether it be tennis, football or cricket, but it makes very little sense in bowls and no sense at all when all the physical effort comes from an engine. There's not even any significant difference in the ability to withstand Gs.

  38. That Boom Boom smelling salt stick is just a Vicks Inhaler without the cold relief selling point.

  39. Given that 4/5 drivers don't indicate correctly and at least 2/5 frequently fail to indicate at all; especially when changing lanes, but also when turning across traffic, tougher penalties should be slammed on these criminals. Still boggles my mind that here in Victoria its 3 demerits for not showing a P plate, but only 1 for not indicating.

  40. Missed the EH and especially the iconic FJ.

  41. EH and the Monaro. And its the lack of import taxes that killed Holden, same reason Ford and Toyota shut down their factories. In the last 10 years the market has been flooded with cheap imports from France, Korea, Italy, Malaysia, China and other places. Usd to be you would never see a Fiat, Renot, Citrine, Peugeot, let alone a Great Wall. Now they are everywhere.

  42. The Tumbler is a monstrosity, but it does fit with Frank Millers vision of the Batmbile being a Landkreuzer L1000, aka, Nazi Super Giant Tank, big enough to crush an entire city block under its treads.

  43. Back of seat car organisers, sigh. What I need is something that has raised edges and locks securely into the front of the passenger seat so all the stuff I throw on that seat doesn't fly into the footwell when I brake hard.

  44. Freestanding tables work too.

  45. You missed a few companies, mostly Cheese ones like Great Wall, but also some Indian and southeast Asian companies.

  46. Or you could go middle ground. Couple of really good Driving Lights, couple of good Fog Lights, total cost of a few hundred dollars and you can see fine in the dark, and have that fog option.

  47. Loose material tests are pretty standard in vacuum cleaner adds, but they don't really prove anything. See how well it gets dirt out of carpet.

  48. My dad's set of Stanley premium screwdrivers are still doing an excellent job after 40 years. Not exactly a daily use item in private ownership, but they always work. Of course we don't actively try and destroy them, a good workman looks after his tools.

  49. Polar Bears advertise Bunderburg Rum, not coke.
