I really couldn't give a good evaluation of the change from the stock sway bars to the Steeda. Other than pushing it a little while driving around town, I haven't done any type of driving yet that would allow me to tell much difference. Steeda was installing the other suspension parts already...
After much debating on new wheels for my car, I settled on the 19" bronze Velgen VF5. I couldn't find any photos online of a Race Red S650 with the bronze 19" VF5, so I wasn't sure exactly how it would turn out, but I love the look. Thanks to @VELGEN WHEELS and @VibeMotorsports for helping me...
I took my 2024 GT PP to the drag strip tonight, and this was my first time ever driving any car at the track. I ran a 12.54 @ 114. It was hot out tonight. Dragy said DA was 2409.
Agreed. Insurance, gambling, investing, prospecting, hedging and speculating are all essentially the same thing, just with different levels of risk, expected return, and government regulation.
Absolutely true. They can only pay out in claims what they bring in for premiums. Claims go up, so do premiums. However, that is also why insurance companies look at your CLUE report and credit score when quoting you a policy. For this reason, I don't file a claim with insurance unless it is...
It appears Texas does allow diminished value claims if the other party is at fault. That’s where it differs from Georgia. In Georgia you can collect it from your own insurance company even if the accident was your fault.
I'm not sure what the laws are in Texas, but in Georgia they are very favorable for recovering diminished value. I would look into the laws in Texas to see if you can force the insurance company to pay diminished value if your car is not totaled. My experience is the insurance company will not...
Same with mine. My paint was pretty near perfect and required almost no correction before my detail guy applied Crystal Serum Ultra. That said, I instructed the dealer not to wash the car or touch the paint before I picked it up. I picked it up the day after it was delivered to the dealer and it...
Have you tried a BMW? I love my wife’s X3 overall, but the infotainment system will drive you nuts. I’ve learned to never get out of the car when it’s running and take my phone with me. If it does happen to connect initially, removing it from the car guarantees it will not connect again. And...
This thread sounds similar to what I went through with my old car. I bought my S550 off the dealer lot and it had 90% of the options I wanted. I figured it was no big deal as it was almost what I would have ordered. After a year of driving the car and looking into adding the options I was...
Are you referring to one of the 3.4 million Kia’s issued a park outside notice last September because they could catch on fire, the 300,000 Tellurides recalled a few days ago also with a park outside notice, the 13 million Kia’s and Hyundais recalled with engine issues since 2010, or one of...
If only Ford would up their game and give us a 5.8 so we could have some low end torque. I’m sure that would solve any ventilated seat problems as well. 🤣
I think you’ll find that the vast majority of issues actual owners have had are minor. I’ve heard a few exceptions, but very few. Most of the gripes and complaints are from the same posters in nearly every thread bringing up the same complaints over and over. Oh, and the ones regurgitating the...
Actually, the S650 is on the Consumer Reports recommended list.
They have it rated below the Corvette(81), but above the Camaro(68) and way above the Challenger(56).
If the dealer does a good job fixing the panel, the repair is not noticeable, and there are no other defects, then he should absolutely buy it. At least he knows exactly what was done to the car. If he goes and buys one of the similar spec cars that are “all over lots” who’s to say those...
