This is not one of those earth-shattering things that will cause me to create numerous threads complaining about it and make me sell the car... but it would nice if I could not see that disclaimer after I start driving that warns me about data collection. I've turned off OTA updates, but I...
Do you folks not find that these kind of pans cause a lot of splashing and make a mess? Instead, I have one like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lil-17972?rrec=true
Yes, you have to be more careful, but I don't transport the oil in it, instead, I pour it into old 5 qt. containers and...
Thanks for the link, but I think some of the best (worst) come from Russia, where, apparently, traffic laws are just a theory, not a practice.
My favorite compilations are from this guy below, with amusing commentary. I don't recognize the accent, I'm not sure where he is from. If someone...
I hear you and I sympathize. However, seriously, those are pretty minor complaints overall. And I've experienced some of those same issues as well, and I got over it.
Ask me about my Cadillac, which had a not-uncommon problem with the power windows not working, randomly. Or the...
I concur. I swapped the rear sway bar on my S550 in the driveway and although it didn't require being on a lift, it was still a major PITA lying on my back on the concrete and messing around with all of those stupid bolts that (it seems, memory escapes me) were held on with nyloc nuts. Of...
When I read that, I thought, what does transitioning have to do with running a business? Who cares if he's now a woman? Then I thought, perhaps Yama meant that he transitioned out of the CEO role, and someone has taken over. That would be more likely.
Then I did a little search and...
I drive 99% of the time in quiet mode, and they (Ford) still pipe in fake exhaust noise even then. Removing the ESE has eliminated the drone... it's not so much the volume as it is the tone of the exhaust is much more pleasant. Some of the lower tones are gone.
I also found the ESE to be...
The marketing people are so much more intelligent than any of us that we cannot possibly fanthom what nefarious plans they have in store for us. :sunglasses:
I suspect that they change things up (Bullit, Mach 1, Dark Horsie) to maintain interest, generate new articles and speculation from...
Seems to me that since the PPF is relatively new, it should peel off in one piece, not chipped off in little segments. That sucks.
I would use a heat gun or hair dryer, and use extreme caution around the edges of the decal, working from the inside/out.
That's all theoretical, because in...
Well...
I think part of the problem isn't that the dealership may be incompetent, but that you are in the lottery when it comes time to assign a technician to your car. It could be a novice, a crackhead, or the lead tech, you just don't know. There's also (as learned from other posts here) a...
You gotta watch out for those devious seniors, LOL.
I had forgotten about this, good point. A friend of mine asked me how I know the limits of the car, and I answered that you don't know the limit until you exceed it. If the car is set up well (as I believe the DH w/o HP is) it...
No argument with anything you wrote. Just two additional thoughts for perspective:
- HPDE is not racing, and therefore I (me, personally) don't need to be the fastest out there. It's a mindset, largely set on my very first track event where I was in my kinda-new Corvette and got lapped...
RTMOP yeah, I can't get the pressures to show in the middle screen. Natch you can see them on the main screen, but I know that's not what the OP wants.
Just to make you all feel bad, here's what my BMW shows me:
OP, since you asked, I'll give you my two cents, which is about twice as much as its worth.
When I was a wee tot, I was at my first autocross with my Datsun 280ZX and there was a guy there with a very competitive and beautiful 240Z all prepped and very fast. I asked him, what should I do to my...
Well, good for you for riding any, at all, in your 70s! I quit riding in my late 50s.
I love your Triumph!
Like others in GA, I researched this in NC, it's not against the law.
Since I retired, I try to take it easy, I'm not in a hurry, just chill. That helps a lot when dealing with all...
LOL, look at the poster's location, he's in SC. The sales tax there on cars is capped at $500. And perhaps the dealer also didn't hose him on fees and other nonsense?
Every state, every dealer and every deal is different. If you reallly want a great deal, see what Granger has in stock.
I don't think the DH has any less sound insulation than the GT, since there isn't much to start with anyway. It seems to me (hard to quantify) that my DH is perhaps a bit quieter than my S550 GT, but that was several years ago and the difference may just be because I'm more deaf now.
My C7...
