    Is your Glamis season Over?

    Budget didn't allow for a lot of trips this year, and was made worse by ye olde SR20 giving up the ghost after 18 seasons right before the Thanksgiving trip. Made 1 trip, but it was 10 days. Might make another, but it's looking not great.

    Power Consumption While Boondocking

    Yep. It's amazing, but it's also a bit of a hog. 17-30w doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a constant 17-30w of draw and amounts to 5-600wh/day. It's more than half of my total power consumption in a given day.

    Power Consumption While Boondocking

    Running the fridge and water heater off of propane, plus 2 kids and starlink, about 1000wh/day. More riding means less power consumption, but this is about normal.

    Thinking about electric power steering on my Gen 4 Funco. If you have installed Electric on your buggy please share.

    I have a couple of friends that constantly need jump packs, no issues with their EPS units failing.

    Gas is gonna get real expensive here.

    That was a front runner, but I’m in CA. At $0.45-0.60/kwh, it’s just too expensive to “fuel”: Volt @ $0.45/kWh and 4m/kWh is $0.113/mile Kia Niro (or similar) @ $5/gallon and 52mpg is $0.0962/mile Also, the Volt isn't the best candidate for OpenPilot because of steering authority limitations...

    Gas is gonna get real expensive here.

    I'm probably gonna buy a 100k mile used hybrid of some sort. They're all pretty decent and the battery refreshes are cheap/easy, so that doesn't scare me much. You can find them all day long for $8k ish.

    Gas is gonna get real expensive here.

    Owning a gas station is a pile of compliance for razor thin margins. Most don't make anything on the gasoline from the pump. Prices are based on refill costs that day generally... Not a fan of high fuel prices, but I'm not mad at the guy who owns the place... That's the wholesaler. They're...

    Shock tuning using ChatGPT for funsies

    Same feeling here. I think it's just the way the hill is sloped, it stops the engine from accelerating too hard into the limiter and it just camps? Dunno, but it sure is a gigantic surprise when it happens.
