Post those >100,000mi vehicles
2nd Owner, 1986 535i BMW, now over 500,000 miles. One small rust spot, otherwise tight all around. New starter and windshield recently, replaced the driver's seat with good used one a few years back. Been back and forth across the country with it (Connecticut to San Francisco) and really...- Deleted member 784191

Swiss Army Knives roll call.
SwissChamp, received as a Christmas present years ago... included the 'Survival-Kit' and 'SOS-Set' and came in a black leather 4-compartment belt holster. It is RIDICULOUSLY versatile, with like 33 tools, matches, pen and pencil, drafting paper and the SIS kit includes 45 more. Also has a MAP...- Deleted member 784191

Laser Vehicle Lighting, COOL!
What he said ; but there are sensors that measure speed on the vehicle, so an existing sensor could feed the lights to do this.- Deleted member 784191

Beer, Ale, Mead...
Yeah, I concur. All lagers; I lean heavily toward ales, with a few exceptions; Mead, wine and whisky are also in my repertoire.- Deleted member 784191

Bravo - a Beer thread! (yes, I am new to CPF) I'm suspicious when you imply most beer tastes like urine - you must be referring to American Light Lagers, which I am NOT a fan of. If your tongue can stand it, I'd try some amber ale, bock beer, 'red' ales, and stay clear of the 'near-clear-beer'...- Deleted member 784191

Tech, it's not just for Big Brother anymore. Check your car for trackers.
If there was a tracker on my car, they'd see me going to the grocery store, auto parts store, church, and the occasional restaurant. Should I worry? Nah, don't think so.- Deleted member 784191

As a vehicle lighting engineer, I look first for the small print - it seems these are so narrowly focused as to be virtually useless, AND THEY ARE ILLEGAL for on-road driving... still, very interesting!- Deleted member 784191

OOPS! I guess I don't have any idea how the universe defines it, but I think of this as more of a 'FORUM' for exchange of ideas, and consider things like twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok, and the hundreds of other 'time-wasters' that demand the attention of 'young folks' who rely on each...- Deleted member 784191

It does seem to be a worry for most of the world... BUT- I do not own a smartphone; car has NO connection to anything except Terra Firma (it's a 1986); no wireless connectivity in the home - we're wired to phone and internet. All input devices on my computer are OFF. Location services are...- Deleted member 784191

Name the most important thing you have found out in your life!
