Coolant mixing with oil - how big an issue usually?
Yellowtail replied to mfinasi's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I read it. But if you don't know just forget it. -

What test are you talking about, and what is AVia? -
No, you replied to a post with something that had nothing to do with it. Fact. This is the post you responded to: Fact. To which you responded: "It's well documented that Trump's trying to get out of putting up the bond. Fact." Fact. That has nothing to do with: "Everybody else needs to post 110% before an appeal." Fact. Now, do you have anything that supports the claim that "Everybody else needs to post 110% before an appeal." or not?

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)

A lot of people love this kind of stuff, and it was a pretty epic production. Huge plot holes have to be ignored, but audio and special effects are great. -
Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Yellowtail replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Date, brand, kilometers at fill, liters, total cost of fill-up, cost per liter, kilometers per liter previous fill-up, fuel type The last four columns are totals since purchase: Kilometers, liters of fuel, Kilometers per liter, miles per gallon. The brand and fuel type so I can sort and check the average milage of different fuel brands and types. Someone claimed: "The fortuna <sic> will be drinking like a camel @120kmh." so I made a joke about camels going a long time without a drink. Then for whatever reason you jumped in and effectively called me a liar, (which annoys me (when I am not lying) more than when some random know-nothing talks smack about my ride), so I posted records that support my claim. Not sure what you are trying to do by jumping in and calling me a liar. Care to elaborate? I do not think buying an EV is silly, and I never said as much. I have said there are some reasons for buying EVs are silly. That said, I do think that someone posting on a car forum that knows they are looking at fuel records can't even tell the date in a spread sheet and figure out at least a few of the other columns is a bit silly. -

Since I've been in Thailand, I've had two Toyotas (a pick-up and a Fortuner) and four Isuzu pickups. I'm driving a Toyota now, but do not think you can go far wrong with either. All were good units with not problems. I like the Isuzu better and think it's the better value and it's on a newer platform. Almost (I think) 10% cheaper than the Toyota and the service is about 50% cheaper and no up-selling. I've a number of Fords in my life including two pickups. One was 20 years old when I sold it, and the other was 30 years old when it got stolen. They were both great, but I did have to put a clutch in both as well and brakes and whatnot. Unless you're really out in the sticks, I would not get the 4 X 4. Costs more to buy, more parts, and costs more to service. I had one for four years & 200,000km when I lived out in the province and loved it, but I only ever used the 4WD once, and that was just to try it. Had two Highlanders after that. If you don't need the 4 doors, don't get it. Costs a good bit more and the bed is much smaller. That said, the two-doors only really have two seats. Go and look at them and drive them. Buy what you like.

You mean it goes a long time without a drink? I regularly go 725-750km between fill-ups with mine. -

On the highway at 100-120 I get just over 11km/L, and my long term combined is 10.46km/L with the 2.8L Fortuner. My 3L Isuzu Highlander used to get over 12 highway. The Fortuner was something of a disappointment power wise. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Yellowtail replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Today I saw: "Dune: Part Two", and I think if you liked part one you will like this, I think it was a little better than part one, but much more of a cliffhanger. Dune: Part Two (2024) - IMDb "Poor Things", I watched this without knowing anything about it, and I ended up liking it more than I thought I was going to at first. Great cast and some great performances. Poor Things (2023) - IMDb "Geji", Thai ghost/love story. Pretty different and I thought watchable. -
Then you should know that that if take the dividends rather than have them reinvest it will negatively impact the total. Do you not know that? At the end of the term, you would have more by allowing the dividends to reinvest than you would have had you taken the dividends. Do you really not know this? You would also have to pay taxes on the dividends just as you would if you were selling shares. Please, you must know this, no?

So, if you charge at home (without solar) you're at about 0.66 to 0.78 per km and if you have to use a charge station, you would be at 0.93-1.11 per km for fuel. Sound about right?
