Bonkers indeed. Look at how it squats!

PIAA Si-Tech. No streaking and no skipping like I was seeing with my Icon blades or OEM blades.

I avoid talk radio, so I hadn’t noticed that much. I assumed that these people all had weird lisps, I guess, haha

I’m in full agreement with you on the quality of modern XM/Sirius. Sounds “flat” and not in a good way. Terrible... but at least there’s always something to listen to other than the top 20 country song radio stations when you’re driving in the middle of Nebraska...

I’d imagine they hired ex-Blackberry employees for their QNX experience and not much else.

I’m more interested in the sidepod inlets, to be honest.

Man, that’s friggin depressing. Sorry to hear that :(

Oh, I hate the stupid car too :) It’s cost me a lot of money and blood, sweat, and tears. Mostly tears though...

It’s a blast to drive when it’s all working right, but after wiping/spinning 7 rod bearings in 2015 I finally fixed it properly last summer and have put maybe 200 miles on it for fear of destroying it again.…

Yeah, cammed and stroked. 288 cams from TT, 2.1L bottom end (TDI crank in a 9A 16V bottom end, custom pistons)

Dragging brake pads, maybe a dust shield rubbing a rotor, maybe a wheel bearing... could be lots of things.

I feel your pain though, any time my car isn’t PERFECT I get depressed and will spend all sorts of time and money making it right again. It’s not like anybody else on the road even cares or is even looking at my…

Wow, I wasn’t aware of the power steering reflash. That would be a huge improvement, I really struggled with the power steering turning off on my BRZ on track. Made for quite a workout and it was obviously fairly disconcerting

“Warming up your battery” is a real thing in places with REALLY cold weather. It works much better when it’s even a little bit warmer inside the battery.

Looks like an awesome car, but offering it without a manual loses some street cred (I know, the manual wouldn’t sell well anyway, but IMO it loses respect being automatic only) and it’s already “just a KIA”

I still have my nearly mint Super Can City :D I’ll have to dig it out tonight and play around a bit and remember the good old days

The Elise has an aluminum chassis, just FYI...

I’ve been pulled over maybe 4 times, only got two tickets. One I deserved (70 or so in a 55, but I was going ~5mph faster than everyone else that was also speeding), the other one I got a speeding ticket for going under the speed limit (24 in a 30, IIRC)

Well, you just need a 100hp engine!

That change in tone is the clutch fully engaging.

I do believe it is the one you’re thinking of.

As 6'4" tall person, it’s weird that I fit comfortably on American’s seats with a supposedly shorter legroom measurement, but don’t fit even remotely well into Southwest’s... and United is a whole other level of awful.
