Bolt!

[CaminoRacer]

I got Android Auto to work this morning. My wife's phone worked last night so I assumed the cable and car are fine and it was my phone that was the problem. I deleted the car from the rejected list and made sure all the Google services apps were updated.

Ew.

It's a second floor for the cargo area that lifts up. So you can store stuff underneath and put groceries on top.

The perfect size for twelve bricks of cocaine, and an assault rifle..

But that would affect the linear subspace converters with plasma fluid polarity. The only way around this is to magnetize the multi-isolinear terminals with the auxiliary sub-routines via a portable adjuster.

Wouldn't be easier to modify the deflector to generate an inverse ionic field and use the EPS relays to generate a multiphasic energy pulse?

I see they got my letter.

Appropriate sticker



And I lied, I will have to cut/pound out the trunk panel to access the bolt holes for the false cargo floor. Shouldn't be too hard.

I modded the seats and added 1-1.5" of camping pad foam. Just enough to lift the seat foam above the side of the seat frame so it doesn't dig into my hips/thigh while I'm sitting in it. The seat covers are easy to take off. You just slide some plastic clips off.






Pre-fix. You can see how low the back of the seat is - basically level with the side of the frame.

Congrats on the Bolt. I test drove one and found it a lot of fun. Great value for money.

Nice seat mod. I need to do that to Doge, but the 60/40 bench seat is a single piece. Very heavy to remove.

I was reading a piece of paper fed to a termite can produce 2 lb of hydrogen.  and of course CO2.  So we can harness that and with the CO2 fed to the plants to produce food for the termite.

Ok, I was gonna say, it's been a while since I looked back there but I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things.

How long did the seat mod take you?  I just tossed on two seat cushions and worked out well but still want to do this or maybe for lumbar support.

20 minutes total.

There are two plastic clips in the back under the seat and 1 on each side toward the back. I didn't actually clip the side ones back on when I was done, because it was hard and it looks the same either way.

I'm going to see if I can take my cushion apart and stuff it in there.  Might be a perfect fit.

Ew.

Look up Louis Rossmann on Youtube.

Hmmm, that could work if we baffle the impulse engine with multisubsonic intermix rays with ultraviolet subfusion. Make sense?

That could work if we recalibrate the impulse drive with a recursive feedback algorithm to compemsate to harmonic distortions, but that's like reinventing the wheel. What if we modified the warp core to emit a tetryon burst and divert it into the deflector and create a controlled temporal flux. We could diverte power from life support and secondary systems in order to stabilize the reation.

[SJ_GTI]

Good ideas, but I don't see how you are going to handle the chroniton radiation.

The Doctor will prepare an inoculation to counteract the effects of the radiation.

[CaminoRacer]

I don't know what's happening in here.

Unfortunately Corbeau doesn't offer seat brackets for Bolts at the moment. Can't go full racecar yet.

That's too much for my understanding. Then again I work in Ten-Forward and know nothing about warp theory!

Time to buy a new Bolt already?   



2020 Chevrolet Bolt To Have Increased Range Of 259 Miles

The Chevrolet Bolt hasn't changed much since it was introduced in 2016, but there appears to be a significant update on the horizon.

As noticed by Car & Driver, the EPA says the 2020 Bolt will have an increased range of 259 miles (417 km). That's 21 miles (34 miles) more than its predecessor and is significantly longer than rivals such as the Nissan Leaf Plus (226 miles / 364 km), Kia Niro EV (239 miles / 385 km) and Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (240 miles / 386 km). The model even tops the Hyundai Kona Electric which has a range of 258 miles (415 km).

Despite the increased range, the model appears slightly less efficient than before as the 2020 Bolt has an MPGe rating of 127 city, 108 highway and 118 combined. That's a slight dip from the 2019 model which was rated at 128 city, 110 highway and 119 combined. As a result, it costs an extra cent to drive 25 miles (40 km).

Little is known about the updated Bolt, but the publication believes the car has been equipped with a revised battery pack that features an improved chemistry. That sounds like a logical explanation, but nothing is official as of yet.

While the range sees a significant improvement for 2020, there doesn't appear to be any other drastic changes. However, Car & Driver says we can expect a "few new features" and a revised color palette that swaps out Shock Yellow for Cayenne Orange Metallic and Oasis Blue. The publication also says the familiar 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) electric motor carries over.

So... I bought a 2nd keyless remote. In the owner's manual there's a section on how to program it yourself. Since I only had 1 key, I had to do the longer method than if you have both keys and just want to add 1.

• Do the 5 unlocks on the door handle.
• Wait 10 mins, press Power.
• Wait 10 mins, press Power.
• Wait 10 mins, press Power.
• Put key fob in tray and press Power.
• Remove key fob and press unlock.
• Put in next key fob in tray and press power.
• Remove key fob and press unlock.
• Hold down Power for 12 seconds.

After step 4, all the keys are wiped. I got that far and when I tried to do step 5, nothing happened. I don't have keys for the car anymore. I had to call AAA and have them tow it to the dealership (with the car in Park, so it had to drag it up onto the flatbed...)

The dealership tried to program the keys with their computer and they won't program. Something is wrong with the car. Fucking technology. It costs $2 to copy a normal key and this is gonna cost at least $300.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Did the owners manual also tell you to delete System32?

In all modern cars I know of, there's a manual over ride somewhere to get the car into neutral.

I hate all that shit too; if I could, I would eliminate the ignition key altogether and go back to actual push-button start with a kill switch hidden somewhere.

There's nothing in the manual and nothing online about a manual neutral override. And the dealership only knows a tiny bit about these cars because they're "new technology".

Push button without the key receiver would work for me. Racecar.

our 2005 Subie has a little cover near shifter you can pop open and probably with screwdriver or something move to N...

[AutobahnSHO]

Oh and Scrappy is old skool key and locks.

This has an all-electric shifter so I don't think it has anything like that, unfortunately
