In northern VA, the HOT lanes have readers every couple of miles.

My Flex is bigger than that, I just noticed that the default one they send out is not their smallest one. I'm going to call them and get the slim one. I have the top right, I'm going to ask for the bottom right one:

Where are you all mounting your HOV/EZ Pass transponders? There doesn't seem to be a lot of unobtrusive locations with the large rear view mirror mount/bezel.

VMP noted 19hp between 87 and 93.

"In God we trust. All others must bring data" -W. Edwards Deming It seems like you'd be well served to do a used oil analysis with it enabled for 5K and with it disabled for 5K. Prove your theory of wear.

A stop and restart when the oil is at 200+F, and was shut off 30 seconds ago, is different from a cold start after an overnight sit.

I enjoy playing around with the throttle response mappings in my Pedal Monster. It's a quick/easy solution for this kind of thing.

Many cars, not just performance ones, are moving out of reach for many.

The Rule of 72.
