In case you haven’t read enough to convince you, see what happens when you let a tire shop work on your vehicle unsupervised:
#14 This guy had something like 9 sheared lug nuts due to the tire shop ignoring his instructions to NOT use an impact wrench. This caused lug nut, stud and...
I agree about the brake checking as well. Although I did have a scooter rider in Bergamo show me his front wheel coming into a roundabout. We were not going slow... but obviously he or she wanted more pace. I went straight through them and I think they peeled off in another direction at the...
That is an interesting observation, and I’ll bet there’s some truth to it. I would say that my observation was Italians definitely had a competitive streak.
I will say this ; the European countries I’ve been to as a whole have significantly more respect for 2 wheelers than the US driving...
That last point is well and truly overestimated. While some of the Old Country have fairly stringent licensing standards, you also have ... for example, Ireland where there are contingents of pre-EU drivers out there with minimal training.
Honestly, the quality of driver on the Autobahn was...
Just be glad you don’t live in or near a car theft sanctuary. You know, where the local PD’s and S/O’s only take over the phone reports for stolen vehicles. Not mentioning any names, like... San Antonio. And count your blessings if you don’t live close to the Mexican border, so the Cartels...
I think that way on my bike; a mapped zx10r with about 200 rwhp, which sounds like it’s not much, but it’s good enough for a mid 9 quarter mile and a top speed ... well, it depends on how chunky the rider is ;-) 200 is certainly doable at about 180 pounds for the rider. And, not even $20k in it...
Pictures. Or you really bought a prius.
I have never stared or even casually looked at the posterior of a goat, so I will take your word for it on the color.
I wouldn’t go out of my way for the Recaro seats. You lose a lot of features, and cough up more money. They are unquestionably a good track seat. But, I cannot get in and out of the car easily without moving the seat every time. It’s a little thing, but it’s EVERY time you drive.
It would...
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I had a much bigger tree limb fall on _me_ about 2 months back. I was chain sawing it off a dead tree; it had already split but I didn’t see the split, so when it broke it messed up my left arm pretty good, including some tendon damage. I literally just...
I’ve never looked at Teslas but have heard similar and a lot of states have franchise laws established to protect stealerships. Ford was trying to twist stealership arms to agree to the Ford EV model which would have been closer to the Tesla “experience”(?)
It seems very few people wanted...
I was looking at this, I think it’s shady, but this is what the dictionary has to say:
price-gouge verb [with object] mainly North American English overcharge (a customer) for something by sharply increasing its price, especially in order to take advantage of sudden high demand: the website has...
Yeah, I want to see someone get this on either a decked out GT / PP or Dark Horse.
Really, I wish you luck and hope for success, but I’ll be surprised if Stealers don’t apply their own tariffs - aka ADM.
You may upshift and downshift with paddles either in drive mode or manual mode. In manual, you control upshifts and downshifts unless you are stopping and going too slow, and then the 10R80 will downshift for you, so that you don’t try to take off in too high a gear.
Good on you if you can...
You probably don’t even need to go that far. @npole is correct that unless you’re in manual mode, the paddles are only in effect for a limited time but for what you’re trying to replicate, the Auto is probably going to be better.
I’m not able to address the sidewall question, but I’m sure there’s an online calculator somewhere, but I am able to say that the kit fits in the 2024 wheel well, jack, lug wrench and all. You have to move the inflator, but was able to shoehorn a plug kit in there.
