Good morning, I can see your frustration and disappointment. Sorry. I am an engineer that works for a road authority (think DOT, but in Canada) . One of my files is to address the safety issues and legislative requirements associated with automated vehicles in our jurisdiction. While industry...

Good morning, There is a reason why people in law enforcement, among other professions, are not allowed on a jury. I agree with your statement on the media and it is very applicable in Canada too. There are very few media outlets to present a "conservative" side to the narative. It is also...

Good morning Jim, Rap sheet or not, police have to follow the rules. If they don't like it, they can choose a different career. There will be lots of people willing to take their place. You have every right to be offended, big deal. I have absolutely no knowledge of your character, ethics...

Hi, I think there are issues with a lot of automated systems. I would suggest that you turn off the intelligent cruise control and just use the adaptive cruise control instead. Good luck and safe travels, Ron

Hi, I agree wholeheartedly. Comply and live another day. Have your day in court. If everyone just did what they were told the US would still be a colony, like us here in Canada. Cheers, Ron

Hey, All for self defence. But there is a time and place. Police can definitely claim they feared for their life and take the appropriate action. Did Mr. Chauvin look like he was fearing for his life? I guess it comes down to whether you want a justice system where law is applied or a bunch of...

Hey, It is just slow to gear up. Just in case you might want to accelerate again. It is called sport mode. If you want eco mode, pick eco mode. Have fun driving your ST and safe travels. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I am generally not an emotional guy, but anyways. Did you look at all the evidence (i.e. watch the trial). I watched all the videos from every angle multiple times. I still go back to this thought, what was the officers' end game? What was the exit strategy? Anyways, hard to have a fist...

Hi again, Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it is only that an opinion. Anyone that thinks a handcuffed suspect needs to be restrained in the way Mr. Floyd was is wrong. I know, my opinion. Police are not to punish they are to protect. Sometimes that requires harsh actions and mistakes...

Hi, Difficult topic for sure. I am a Canadian, so I may have a different perspective than others and I appreciate that. And I am not a police officer, nor a criminal. I actually recorded the trial and watched most of it after work. My wife sat beside me and watched a fair share of it too. We...

SMOKING SMOKIN HOT (You need red wheels) BURN OUT

Hi, I was very interested in this idea of locking the fob in the vehicle so I tested it out. Even with the fob sitting in the cupholder, the doors will not unlock by pulling on the handle. The door code works fine to unlock and lock the doors, but I did get a double honk when I pushed the lock...

Sorry, I am 6'5" so all the easy exit setting does for me is raise the steering wheel. The seat is already back as far as it goes. I was just happy to find a vehicle with both enough leg room and head room. Cheers.

Hi, There is am easy exit setting that moves the seat back and steering wheel up to allow for easier access. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I didn't say cooling was an issue, but oil does lubricate the bearings while the turbos are cooling. I was implying that stopping the oil flow while the turbos are cooling can cause issues. And yes, I do allow my vehicle to cool down before I turn it off. I usually drive slowly when...

Hi, On a turbo engine, I think it is a very bad idea to turn off the oil flowing to the turbos to save a little fuel. This is a bad idea made worse with turbos. Cheers, Ron

So, owners don't like changing the oil in their ST? It is about the simplist maintenance activity around, except maybe checking and setting tire pressure.

Hi, Not sure how Sync starting up wastes energy. It might use some of the battery reserve that will be easily replaced while driving with absolutely no extra fuel required to recharge the battery. It would be almost nothing compared to actually starting the motor. Cheers, Ron
