I got Steeda Tridents 19x10 squared with 275/35/19 Bridgestone Blizzak 6s for my Dark Horse HP. Treadwear looks great so far, they feel very good on dry roads much like a high performance summer tire, make wet roads feel dry. Michelin X-Ice Snows were squirrely, spongy, and felt terrifying...

Steeda braided stainless steel brake lines are on my list. I'll probably add them when it's time to change pads.

Paying $$$ for an Optima Yellow Top a few cars ago taught me to just buy OEM replacement or even a Duralast Gold if you're struggling. Optima lasted 8 months before it was dead. Replaced it with Duralast Gold which lasted at least 3 years and I only don't know past that because I traded the car.

The software on these cars is so ass. All too often when I'm in Android Auto, the screen flashes to infotainment settings screen then back to Android Auto every single time I start moving from a stop. It'll do it forever until I force reboot Sync. I had a loaner from Ford that also had Sync 4...

Took me 6 months to get the dealership to attempt to fix a paint drip from the factory on mine. After leaving it with them twice it's still there but less noticeable. They told me on like 4 occasions they'd have to strip the whole area and repaint. Guess what they didn't do but instead just sand...

Oh we have one, it's on the windshield. It does useful things like blast your instrument cluster with an annoying pop-up window that says "YoUr WiNdOw DiRtY :( pLeAsE cLeAn!" if the Sun shines too bright on it. Thanks Ford.

1. Clapped commuter cars furnished unironically with 3M adhesive vents/scoops all tied together with "Custom Edition" badges mounted crooked on the fenders. 2. Coal rollers 🖕🖕🖕 3. BMDummies with crack and bang tunes. 4. Joe Dirts using an offroad floodlight bar with 64 emitters in 6000k "Fry...

I don't think we live in the same realities. Where I'm from, insurance does everything they can to not pay or pay as little as possible and corporations have a team of demon-spawn lawyers who may or may not be sentient hivemind colonies of bugs and snakes wearing human skin-suits tasked with...

I've been daily driving a stick for about a decade now. Drive by wire throttle is too inconsistent for me. I want to go from 6th to 4th, I give gas pedal a sharp push about 50% of its travel, revs increase by 500 🖕🖕🖕. I want to go from 4th to 3rd, I just need like 500rpm increase, a 1-2in jab...

You don't understand. She has a long way to sit in air conditioning while listening to some tunes and occasionally moving her arms and feet a few inches to make it back home. Try being more empathetic to her struggle 🫠

Good luck finding anywhere in Home Depot's policy that states their cart corrals are for the safety of their customers' property, not for the convenience of not having to walk carts all the way back into the store, and that they vow to have a parking lot lifeguard on duty during all business...

That's a nice thought but it won't stop lazy slobs from just leaving the cart next to where they parked even with a cart corral 15ft away from them.

Mine didn't brake but it screeched at me because there was a cyclist on the sidewalk next to the road. I turn it to lowest sensitivity. Last thing I need is for it to spaz and brake with some bonehead tailgating me like normal smacking into me. I just maintain safe distance from the car in front...

Power seems to take a nosedive with my Dark Horse at WOT before redline. Traction is fine, clutch doesn't seem like it's slipping. I know the manual redlines at 7250, not 7500 for "reasons". I haven't been winding out the engine often enough to see if there's a pattern.

All depends how much you want to spend. I have a gas Generac that's been severely neglected I've had for like 8 years and it fires up every time, works great. I went down the rabbit hole for electric units because I'm sick of the noise, shutting down and restarting between foaming and rinsing...
