A few weeks ago I went to DC and street parked. About 45 minutes later the barricades and police showed up — they were clearing the street for the presidential motorcade. It was really cool to see it go by — something like 27 vehicles — and they made sure the street was entirely and completely devoid of traffic.

I’m not sure how the Mustang could have de-escaladed this situation. Obviously, I think hitting the motorcycle was the wrong response. But the motorcycle driver looked to have control of the situation: he had plenty of opportunity to pass; he wasn’t being blocked; and the Mustang didn’t appear to be speeding.

I would go as far to say that the Mustang driver felt threatened with bodily harm. He tried to slow down and the guy on the bike matched his speed. He wouldn’t be able to outrun the bike if he tried so he didn’t have a lot of options. I’m not saying he chose the right one but put yourself in his shoes and think about

Be careful out there; vary from the recommended pressure by even half a psi, and this could be your car crashing.

I have an irrational vision everytime I’m unplugging airbags that’s it’s going to go off in my face and shrapnel right through my eye.

Because they listed something as “fits” your car when it doesn't? Because the part they sent you was mis-labeled? Because someone in the warehouse pulled the wrong part and sent it to you?

Seeing that spray painted on the side of a VW would have been confusing

Yes, if you just completely throw the suspension geometry off then it’s bad. However, if you widen the wheel while keeping the center line of the wheel in the same place as stock then the negative effects are minimal... I do agree that most people do it wrong and ruin suspension geometry and introduce greater loads on

Ive ran hub centric spacers on both of my cars and haven’t noticed premature bearing wear. Ill keep a close eye on it though. thanks. I deff understand the physics of added leverage on the hub..but its hard to understand the negative effect on the bearings with a hub centric spacer. Especially with a high quality hub
