Just Way Too Hot Today to Dash!

Cherry Hill NJ Zone

At one point today, the outside temperature thermometer on my dash read 109°F!
I went home to cool off for awhile. 104°F when I pulled into the driveway.
I might go back out later after it cools down.

NJMVC Electric Bike & Scooter Regulations, Rules & Fees

Does anyone else think that all these new NJMVC electric bike & scooter regulations, rules & fees are just government overreach (aka Nanny state) & a revenue grab?
Especially, when the cost of everything is becoming way too expensive. Many people use these bikes & scooters as alternative inexpensive transportation because they can't afford the car, gas, insurance & maintenance costs.
In my opinion, there should be regulations & rules for those under 18 years of age but not for those that already have a driver's license. I can hear parents groaning all over NJ about these new laws & costs. And, yes, I am aware that already licensed drivers do not have to get an additional license but you still have to have insurance.
And you just know, that now that the door is open, the costs will just continue to rise.
Where does it end? What's next? Will I have to have a license & insurance to ride my skateboard?!?!
And I'd like to hear from police. I'm sure that they are just thrilled to have to now enforce these new laws, as if they don't already have enough to do. I'd much rather have the police focus on the crazy, aggressive drivers that constantly tail gate me & cut me off when I'm just following the law & driving the speed limit.

Replacement EVAP Canister Purge Valve

I recently took my 2015 Ford CMax Energi SEL in for an oil and filter change. The day before the check engine light came on. I thought that it was just because I had delayed the work because money was tight. Once the shop finished the work, they hooked up a code reader. They showed me the error code was P04EF and then cleared it. They asked if I had filled the gas tank recently and I had just a few days prior. So, then they said that sometimes it happens after fueling up.
Upon further research, I discovered that this indicates "EVAP System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Low". They said that I might need to have the canister purge valve replaced. Upon further research, I discovered that this code is strongly tied to a known issue covered by Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19-2207. It is usually triggered by a degraded or malfunctioning canister purge valve (CPV) sticking open. When this valve fails, it messes up the pressure in your fuel and emissions systems, causing erratic readings. It can also indicate that the fuel filler door and fill nozzle flap are dirty and need to be cleaned and lubricated. I have since done that and lubricated the fill nozzle flap with silicon spray.
However, a couple of days ago, after another fill up, the check engine light came on again. So, now I need to buy a replacement canister purge valve. I also bought a code reader since I want to be able to perform more work myself to save money.
I've been shopping around online and I'm probably going to buy one from Rock Auto or Walmart. They range in cost from $20 to $35. However, some of the brands I've never heard of before, so, I'd like some recommendations.

Rock Auto
-----------
Gates
GPD
Motorcraft (Genuine Ford replacement parts - most comfortable with this choice)
Standard Motor Products
Wells

Walmart
---------
Dorman
Standard Motor Products

Which brands do you have experience with?
Which would you choose?

Thanks!

Recommendations for Mexican Restaurants that serve Monterey-style Fish Burritos & Tacos

This might be a difficult ask but I've been craving good Monterey-style fish burritos & tacos. If you don't know, they are more of a west coast thing. But I'm hoping that there is some place in South Jersey that serves these. Maybe there is a place down at the shore. All recommendations are appreciated.

Drivers Side Door Window Won't Close All the Way

2015 Ford C-MAX Energi SEL Hybrid

Today, my drivers side door window won't close all the way, only goes up about half way. I tried pulling up on the control while pulling up on the window grabbing it with my hand but it won't budge. So, then I had my Dad sit in the drivers seat and operate the control while I pulled up on the window from the outside with both hands and it still won't budge. I have no idea what happened. All windows were working fine yesterday. This car has just shy of 50K miles. This should not have happened. I have to fix this myself because I have no money to take it to a shop.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Stopped Using UberEats

I stopped using UberEats because I don't get enough deliveries and the ones I have done always send me outside my selected core zone and they don't pay enough.

UberEats just can't compete with DoorDash in my area so it's just not worth it for me.

I became an uber eats driver to deliver food orders only.
Today, I accepted only my 2nd delivery offer only to discover it was for an order of tires from a tire distribution center and the delivery was out of my area.

  1. people can't eat tires so why did I get a tire delivery
  2. delivery was out of my area in adjacent state and would have required crossing toll bridges
  3. in the app, I had deliveries only selected, not sure if it was flagged as food only, but still I'm an uber eats driver, that's what I signed up for

Call support to have order reassigned
Then I wanted compensation for being given the wrong delivery type and mileage
After being transferred 6 times, I hung up, uber support was infuriating and it felt on purpose
