Not a bad idea anyway. Thieves use sniffers to try to locate weak signals from your fob then amplify them to make the car think that the fob is closer/to clone the fob signals. You might avoid a stolen car if they can't sniff out your key fob.
I have a 2003 S2000 in New Formula Red. I have never been pulled over, even here in CA (although I have never driven it in Texas). A red car may attract the eye more, but police are looking for the jackrabbit in the pack-if you aren't the fastest car on the road or the guy making unsafe lane...
I agree about the always hot accessory ports (I read that they will turn off when the battery begins to drop, meaning you're likely increasing the degradation of the battery).
I was running into this concern when trying to hardwire a dashcam, but the hard wire cable was bad (eventually, found...
It figures. It's always a clown in a G37 that pulls up next to my e90 M3 and tries to entice me into a drag race. Not only am I smart enough to keep that stuff on the track, what's the point when I know I can beat him anyway?
Had kids later, but I've let my sons drive my cars any time. Older son loves the S2000 and the V8 M3, but the younger son has no desire, only drives our Avalon. Strange how this current generation mostly has no enthusiasm for cars.
B&O is known in the stereo community as having great external design and build quality, with highly overpriced actual performance. It's more about the form than the function.
Only exception might be very high price, limited edition vehicles. A doc I knew waited years on for his spot to be able to buy a Ferrari. After that, he would buy one, drive it for about a year, then sell it used to other people who didn't want to wait to get an allocation for a new car. He...
People often say that they want a self-driving car. My feeling has always been that if you want a car that drives itself, you've been driving the wrong cars.
Wife's Highlander has this feature. Even having to spring for the proper but more expensive "extended flooded" or AGM battery, her car is the only one of five in our family that consistently needs the battery replaced every 2.5-3 years.
I've even had a 2003 S2000 that often sat for about 6...
The truth is that if these manufacturers no longer are required to follow these insane regulations the increase in the cost of cars may slow down relative to what we're currently seeing. If we continue with government overregulation, no one but the elites will be able to afford a...
It wasn't only the ASS system, it was the fact that the EPA is mandating average fuel economy that cannot be attained and smog equipment that restricts the engine. Not having to continue to design these ludicrous systems will at least keep cars from continuing to spiral into GT3 RS money.
Same here. We replaced my son's gear shift knob with one from Shelby's store. Only issue was trying to get the bottom lock nut in the perfect spot when screwing it back on.
