You must have lived in the same neighborhood as me. Our 4th iffy channel was the ABC affiliate from Pittsburgh. It was usually too snowy to watch.   My dad had his own version of a remote control. He mounted a toggle switch under the window seal beside his favorite chair. He had it wired to the console TV's speakers and used it to turn off the sound during commercials. 😁 That was in the early '60s.   I had the Can-Am back to the dealer yesterday to have the winch replaced under warranty.   Both the service manager and I were surprised to find out that the replacement winch came with a synthetic cable in place of the troublesome original steel cable plus a new fairlead. The fairlead is the guide through which the cable passes on its way in or out when the winch is being used.   I guess it makes sense that the replacement winch would have a synthetic cable since all of the new Can-Ams that I looked at on the showroom floor also had the synthetic cable. They also sell Honda and Polaris UTVs but all of the ones I looked at still had a steel winch cable.    The problem with steel cables is that they eventually rust and get twisted to the point where the winch gets locked up and is useless. If the steel cable starts to fray it will also cut the shit out of your hands.   Before making this visit to the dealer I had already purchased a new synthetic cable and a new fairlead neither of which I now need. Can't hurt to have spares of those though since both are fairly high wear items.   While I was there I also picked up a new striker for the driver side door.    I also asked about getting an owners manual. The salesman said I would have to get one through their parts dept. The parts guy said they didn't have any in stock but I could order one for about $10. When I got home I found a brand new one in a plastic bag lying on the passenger side floor. I assume the service manager put it there.👍   Steel winch cable and roller fairlead before replacement:   Synthetic winch cable and new style fairlead:     Functioning LED light bar:     BTW, I'm obviously running out of storage space.    

I took the Jag photos wirh my iPhone, so it’s not generated. The car had a very high door/window line. Visibility wasn’t that great…

The jag but now that you mention it, both.

Are you talking about my Jaguar photo or the Range Rover photo?

I think the photo in the first post was generated, which is giving that weird look 

It may be me or the camera angle but the greenhouse looks one size too small.

Some people would disagree with that!  😄    But, most of them aren't around anymore due to their BS attitude.  😄 

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) find themselves in an interesting spot as they rebrand Jaguar and roll out their EV strategy across both platforms. Jaguar launched their new brand and messaging last year in a controversial and “ultra woke” manner, akin to the Bud Light snafu. Many people believe that their new branding and messaging is already the final nail in the coffin of a niche brand, even though it is an auto maker wirh a rich history. Newly branded Jaguars will be available for sale late in 2026.  The company is going 100% EV, and they’re focusing on high-end luxury cars that are designed and priced to compete with Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Maybach. It’s a huge gamble.    Range Rover, on the other hand, will focus entirely on JLR’s SUV lineup, with various power trains available including ICE, BEV, and hybrid. It will be very interesting to see how they respond to the waning support for EVs in the US and beyond.  My wife and I just sold/traded our Jaguar I-Pace EV after six years of ownership. We loved the vehicle and had a great experience with it, but it was recently recalled due to the risk “uncontrolled thermal events” and we were instructed to park the vehicle outside and away from houses and buildings to reduce the risk of fire. We had the software updated based on the recall campaign, but that limited charging capacity and range. So… we’re back in an ICE vehicle and happy to be back.    A few pics of the Jag below, also a fastback design. We’ll miss it. 

Thanks, I have always respected how polite and judicious you are as a moderator of this site. 👍
