Hahaha you’re right I kept thinking about Chapo 🤪

The part about the Mexican seems correct. Now let your moustache grow and you are spot on !

Awful 🤮

Barrryyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!

in our search to have a decent GPS app to guide us in the desert, today i wanted to review and compare MotionX and Gaia GPS, which are both apps specifically tailored to Off-Road driving or hiking. As i had an old Samsung Note 5 laying around which had a very big screen, i decided to use that phone and mount it in my car to use it as a dedicated GPS. Unfortunately when i found out that MotionX is only for IOS platforms, i was forced to look for something else and stumbled upon Gaia GPS. In the Youtube tutorial below, this gentleman makes a great comparison and it's worth having a look at: As a summary, i come to the following: MotionX: + Completely Free with full functionality + Easy to use, set up - No Android support - No possibility to create multi-bend tracks Gaia GPS: + Easy to use and set up + Customizable Bar Tiles on the home screen + Overlay Maps + Possibility to create multi-bend tracks. - FREE version only has only 1 basic Topographic map, but the paid version costs 10USD per year that gives full functionality and satellite map. Full Premium Membership costs 30USD for year in case you want to add more maps and resources, but is more tailored to hiking. https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003524547-Free-vs-Membership-vs-Premium-Membership Surely there will be more specific PROS and CONS once having used these programs. Please add them in your replies so we can share our hints and tricks to use these great apps. Both apps support map download, so you can download the area in case you have no data coverage in that area, or if your phone simply has no SIM card in it So there you have it, two apps which are perfectly capable of doing the things we want them to do for our Off-road adventures in the UAE deserts. Do share your questions, suggestions, experiences !

Very strange indeed. You might want to get the diff bearings checked too. If there is excessive play in those, that might be the reason why the teeth chipped off. In case of regular overheating you should probably see a blueish color on the teeth too. I don’t think that’s the case here. You mentioned that the car behaved differently off-road. The damage must have been pretty severe by then already. Did you use your diff locks recently or kept them engaged while driving? Using rear diff lock for anything else than recovery causes severe stress and friction on the axle and it’s components.

Hahaha correct and him being translator too was part of that hint. 👍

Good job buddy !!

Nope..

First hint: the person I’m talking about is the most skilled as per his profession to solve my riddle.

Guess the offroad driver: if he’s part of the drive, “God is with us”....

This here is the main reason why people use Carnity: to get more detailed information and knowledge about their cars to we can all try to balance the impossible. Because this really IS impossible to have the best of all worlds. And that goes for nearly all services in life. (And please don’t get me started on Carrefour...) The only thing you can do is preparing yourself for what cost is coming, getting quotes and consulting car forums like Carnity, and trying sufficient workshops until you find the one that suits you personally. And like @Rahimdad correctly mentions, go and consult a professional for the specific task at hand. After all you don’t go and see a neurosurgeon for a grown-in toe nail. Try to realize also that everyone needs to make money, so that workshop that looks clean, professional, and has excellent staff who can solve your problem fast, will have higher overhead costs than a mechanic in a tiny shop without staff. Personally I have a pretty good intuition, so I work on a basis of trust and transparency, and don’t see my mechanic as someone who is trying to rip me off from the start, but rather as a person who has the balls to run his own business with the risks involved. When my trust gets a dent, i discuss this with him and tell him to do better next time, or I move on to another shop. It’s a hard business and we all need to be the best in what we do to survive.

She replaced Kari Byron during her pregnancy.

I’ve seen her on Mythbusters and Overhaulin. But forgot about her name and came across the news by coincidence.

Hey buddy, i remember during the last drive you did with us, you had some issues with a flat or popped out tyre and we wanted to put on the spare tyre, but there was an issue with the wheel bolts because they were too short or something? As your rims are not the stock ones, you might want to get them looked at too. Or did these come originally with the car ?

Hats off to this courageous lady... 2019 has quite some famous racing people on its list by now 😢 https://jalopnik.com/fastest-woman-on-four-wheels-jessi-combs-killed-in-jet-1837654356?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

Most electric cars regenerate the braking energy to preserve battery life.

Wow congrats @Emmanuel !!!!!!! More than deserved, you’ve been giving us so much help, support, guidance, and always keeps a cool head yet always hungry for more challenges and more things to learn !

Perfection..... Great job @Emmanuel !

I’ve seen this lately on lots of Honda Civics, accompanied by LED lights underneath the car, chrome rims, and F&F stickers. Recommend to install on both sides to make it even stronger by using a bridle 😂😂😂

The main thing they are targeting are the Red Bull’s and Mountain Dews of this world. The sugar tax was implemented in Mexico already where a 10% price increase brought a consumption decline of 7,6% on sugar drinks. UK implemented a gradual production tax, where the manufacturer pays more tax, if more than 5 gram per liter sugar is found in their products. This is good because it motivates the manufacturers to stay below that threshold. The funny thing is that the sugar tax has the most benefit for countries that provide social healthcare, because less obesities and less diabetes patients equals lower costs, same for cigarettes. In UAE however their motivation will be different 😁

We’ll need to think bigger and think in solutions instead of problems. The population living in towers in big cities probably won’t need to own cars anymore in the future due to better and faster alternatives. The complete shift towards electric and hydrogen will happen in phases and will take time and investments. I see buildings being equipped with a charging port in every parking space. These ports are powered by standalone battery packs like Tesla is already producing, and the battery packs are charged by solar on the roof buildings. Imagine smart power grids that would make us 100% Independent from the city grids. The smart grid will be either owned by yourself if you made the investment, or leased by companies that will charge you per kWh used. Countries like UAE are fast to adopt and might invest in this soon (like the shams initiative for solar).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_Middle_East_and_North_Africa Obesity in the Middle East and North Africa Read in another language Watch this page Edit Obesity in North Africa and the Middle Eastis a notable health issue. In 2005, the World Health Organization measured that 1.6 billion people were overweight and 400 million were obese. It estimates that by the year 2015, 2.3 billion people will be overweight and 700 million will be obese.[1] The Middle East, including the Arabian Peninsula, Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey and Iran, and North Africa, are no exception to the worldwide increase in obesity. Subsequently, some call this trend the New World Syndrome.[2] The lifestyle changes associated with the discovery of oil and the subsequent increase in wealth is one contributing factor. Urbanization has occurred rapidly and has been accompanied by new technologies that promote sedentary lifestyles.[3] Due to accessibility of private cars, television, and household appliances, the population as a whole is engaging in less physical activity. The rise in caloric and fat intake in a region where exercise is not a defining part of the culture has added to the overall increased percentages of overweight and obese populations.[4] In addition, women are more likely to be overweight or obese due to cultural norms and perceptions of appropriate female behavior and occupations inside and outside of the home.[5]

That’s exactly the whole discussion that’s going on at the moment with electric vehicles. You’re never 100% green with your electrical car until you are sure that the electricity needed to recharge it is coming from renewable sources like solar, hydro, or wind, and not from coal plants. On top of that the mining of rare earths will create a complete market shift and might make South America the new Middle East. cobalt, nickel, graphite, lithium... All these materials and the countries who possess them will be soon doing strategical investments to prepare for the future. The poorer countries that lack the investment power will probably find an investment partner in China, which will eventually result in China taking over that complete business if nobody stops them. https://www.google.ae/amp/s/theconversation.com/amp/politically-charged-do-you-know-where-your-batteries-come-from-80886 Exactly, on top of that you need 40amps according to Tesla, so a regular 16 or 20 amps outlet won’t do it, or will drastically increase charging time.
