You can simply leave it engaged and press the gas pedal to override some of the "back off". I do this all the time if I suspect a slow moving turtle is about to move left to pass an even slower moving turtle. Damn. We have 2 lane roads signed at 75. Your law makers and law enforcers are...

First road trip with the whipple and best mpg I've seen since:

You really need to tag posts like this with "WARNING: Gratuitous Musclecar Porn!" :cool:

That is some timeless beauty right there.

What wheels are those?

I agree, but I will point out that just because he feels the intensity of the vibration most at that speed range doesn't mean the vibration isn't there at other speeds and not noticed. Yup. These kinds of problems will make your hair turn white or pull it out in frustration.

what cold psi? If you're feeling the vibration in the steering wheel now, it's going to degrade over time/miles. It is not going to improve by itself.

ask if they can measure vertical and horizontal run out. The tire may need to come off for the vertical check. Basically you mount the wheel, put a fixed, non marring tool right up against the wheel edge and rotate. none of them are perfect, the question is whether the run out is acceptable...

This won't cause any collateral damage by itself over even hundreds, possibly thousands of miles unless you are WAY out of round / balance. Unfortunately, you have >1 variable at each corner; tires & wheels. Does your shop have a 'road force' balancer? This is much more precise and balances...

As much as I hate the hue and cry "there oughta be a law" ... This really needs to be outlawed.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about that but glad you're ok. Not long after track attack I got to test out my HP brembos vs. a feral cat that crossed perilously in front of me at about 70mph. The cat made it, damn those brakes are great. Unfortunately I nailed a raccoon on the way to the gym a few...

so @Billycar11 isn't wrong about the possibility of vehicle data sharing. https://www.verisk.com/company/newsroom/ford-and-verisk-collaborate-to-offer-telematics-data-to-insurers/ But this reports to Verisk; a data warehouse...

Again, I ask how? What specifically reports this to "an insurance company" ? (because many of us would be without insurance were this prevalent/true). Data Ford releases to data warehouses isn't _driver_ specific. Best case, you can establish the owner of the vehicle and that does not...

How, exactly is the insurance company aware of your speed, much less the speed limit? Are you conceding to a vehicle monitoring dongle to save $$$ on insurance? If so, and please don't take this personally, that would be a very stupid decision. I have a close personal friend who is a...

You can try a battery disconnect/reconnect. IIRC, there was a recall for this.

Make sure you check those wheels thoroughly. It's a good sign the lip appears in good shape, maybe your tires took the brunt of the impact.

Honestly, if they're quoting you +10k, they sound like they're hedging. I'd tell them +6k - their "fee" + not having to go through BS and I'd bet they take it. ETA: That is, IF I'd be willing to abandon the work on my poverty 'just a whipple coyote' Dark Horse.

42 (at least). "Kiddos are so sensitive these days" got hidden.

look at https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/victim-of-a-pothole.176071/post-3504585, 2nd pic, just under the "P" in Pirelli. That looks like a crack formed in the wheel.
