Sorry to hear David Crosby of Crosby Stills and Nash has died. Take care and have a lovely day. I had not heard yet about Crosby. I really like the music of CSN&Y. Helplessly Hoping, Southern Cross.... He was probably fortunate to live as long as he did. As I understand it, he gave that body a bit of a workout... and not in a good way. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we have lost a few notable musicians already this year. In addition to Crosby, we also lost Jeff Beck and Robbie Bachman earlier this month. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 20, 2023 #83529 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I must be in the minority. I like the auto stop/start feature. It saves a little bit of gas but I don't use enough gas for that to matter. I like it because the car is still and quiet when activated like OB said. It's always worked perfectly and the idea that it puts more wear on the engine isn't really true (Google it). Admittedly, more parts does mean more than can fail, but I've never heard of that being an issue for anyone. I like combining it with the brake hold feature so that I don't need to hold my foot on the brake at a long traffic light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather can change that we skipped CoCo Cay in 2020 and ended up at Labadee due to weather. That said, happy for you. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I drive I usually don't engage it by pushing harder on the brake. Not that I don't like it. We both forgot about brake hold feature. Sharon used to use it often. Now that you mentioned it, maybe we will remember to use it again. So many options to keep up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started test driving new cars (after not having kept up with car technology at all over a period of almost 30 years) it was a bit of a learning curve. Still working on learning, since I've never (yet anyway) owned a car manufactured in the 21st century. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to see CSNY along with Santana and a couple other bands. Over 80,000 attended. Another time I went to a Jefferson Starship concert and Jeff Beck was the backup band. At the time I was not familiar with Beck. He was great. Although JS played great I enjoyed Beck even more that night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does yours (or others' vehicles) not keep running? It's a feature that's been on cars for more than a decade...longer in Europe than in the US I believe. When you come to a stop under certain conditions, the engine turns off temporarily. As soon as you touch the gas pedal, the engine immediately comes back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good news. We’re on this cruise also. I got a beach bungalow for Labadee to celebrate my birthday. If you are near stop by and say hello. (It’s my 69th birthday, so look for a couple of old fogies). They were lots cheaper than the cabanas and I need the shade. We’ve never had one before but the YouTube looks neat.

In the late 80’s a CSN cover band from NYC appeared at a local club.After singing Almost Cut My Hair ,much to their surprise Graham Nash was at the club.He told them that their rendition of the song was the best he ever heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably depends on the vehicle but usually on by default- you might be able to disable it. When the vehicle senses you want to go (accelerator action) it disengages.

When you come to a stop light or anywhere you have to hold the brake, there is a button you can push that will hold the brake for you. It releases when you hit the gas peddle.

OHIO was their encore song. Big song when playing in Cleveland. My brother was part of the National Guard during the Kent State riots. His Akron unit was sent to Kent State. He was one of the few they had stay back to guard the Akron Armory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
