It isn’t a high performance car for sure, but it isn’t designed to be, nor are most others in the class. I suspect most folks buying those vehicles aren’t buying them for sport. The Explorers I’ve been in handled like cruise ships, which turned me off to them despite being a Ford guy. Though...

Another question for you all (not Mazda specific): I’ve never had leather interior in a vehicle, so do I want tan or black (the only two options available)? Thought that black would wear better, but be hot (though seats are cooled). However, I’ve heard that tan is higher maintenance. In...

I was concerned about the engine, but the reality is that at 310 lb-ft of torque, it outperforms every V6 in the class for a majority of most people’s driving. Yes, get up and go at highway speed suffers, but the 250hp (w/premium) isn’t that far off from V6s in competing vehicles, either (don’t...

I’m possibly looking to purchase a late-model CX-9 for the family. Yes, I know it’s one of the largest vehicles in its class with one of the smallest interiors, but for what it is it drives better than anything else I’ve driven (that’s under $50k). I owned a German car once, loved the driving...

Let me see if I understand the situation: Companies and hiring managers have no problem ignorning a status request from the candidate, but if they tell the candidate that he or she wasn’t selected, feel obligated to respond to a “why not” question? That makes absolutely no sense. The bottom...

On my aircraft, there is no duct between the air box and carb, only between the muffler shroud and carb. However, this duct will need repaired or replaced at some point. I believe that Piper only recommends a 20 year service life, though in my case the duct itself is in excellent condition...

I have a PA-28-181 (Archer II), and the ducting between the exhaust shroud and carb heat box is coming apart at the ends around the clamps. It appears to have been spot repaired previously using red RTV. I am considering replacing the entire duct rather than continuing to repair it, but it...

In Messages, you can access the photo library by selecting the "A" icon next to the camera, then the Photos app icon. No need to go via the Camera icon. My understanding is that Camera Roll will always show all of the picture on your device, regardless of how you have them organized. If you...

Connecting to iTunes may prompt you for the password, and subsequently unlock the iPad, but this will likely only work if the iPad had been previously connected to iTunes on that computer. Usually, the iPad will disable itself temporarily after a few incorrect passwords, and then force you to...

I thought about pairing the GTX345 with the IFD440, but the point is that it's ~$2500 more than an "Out-only" transponder. Given that both the IFD440 and GTN650 have smaller screens, I suspect that there isn't a huge advantage to having the "In" data displayed on them. Unless I'm missing...

Can't go to the headset, since my headset does not support Bluetooth. I assume that if I pair the iPad/iPhone to the audio panel, ForeFlight audio alerts would go through the audio system in a similar manner as if they were coming from an in-panel device? I basically need a new panel, and can...

I'm looking at different scenarios to upgrade the panel of my Cherokee. One of them has me sacrificing an installed ADS-B In solution in favor of a portable, and just running audio alerts from ForeFlight on the iPhone/iPad through a Bluetooth audio panel such as the PMA8000BT. Since I would...

The Family Sharing organizer can configure sharing of most items. A shared “Family” calendar is created automatically, though existing calendars must be explicitly shared. You can also configure a shared photo album. Of course, Family Sharing works for Apple services; if you’re using Google...

It’s easy. Create the new Apple ID, then log in to your account on the Mac and configure iCloud and iTunes to use the new ID. After that, set up Family Sharing from the existing Apple ID so that you’ll have access to your existing purchases with the new ID. I’d also recommend using two-factor...

If you're sharing a Mac, I would suggest creating your own login account on the Mac, and then configuring that account to use your Apple ID. You can do this in "System Preferences -> Users & Groups." Create a new account (probably as an Administrator account), log into that account, and then...

Honestly, I don't think any of them are all that accurate; it's more a question of what's the best of the worst. This site https://www.forecastadvisor.com apparently uses some collected data in an attempt to answer that question, but I'm not sure where the data originates or how it is...

What does everyone like as a general (non-av specific) weather app? I was using Weather Underground, but when I upgraded phones and had to reload it, I lost my ad-free subscription and weeks of emailing them resulted in no response. However I found it to be fairly accurate. Unfortunately, it...

If that it what you believe, you know very little—or are in denial—about what happens in the K12 education system today, both public and private. The actual statistics for proficiency in core subject areas are quite poor. As someone who has had kids in 3 different K12 schools, and has talked...

As someone with two school-aged kids, I can tell you that the K12 education system in this country is trash, including most of the “great” public schools in the fancy neighborhoods. The private schools might be better, but even the best ones aren’t much better. Parents used to send their kids...

I can’t speak for the Golden Arches touchscreen system specifically, since I’ve never used it. My experience at fast food restaurants (and some table service places as well) is that if your order differs from the “standard,” it won’t be entered or prepared correctly a fair amount of the time...
