Oooh, snap!
Oooh, snap!
Dang. I didn’t realize movement was that restricted there. But I can’t say I’m surprised, either.
I’m no criminal mastermind, yet even I can figure out how easy it would be to simply source a vehicle legally registered in an area not requiring these trackers for a terrorist attack. As with most “security” measures, it’s not about security - it’s about control.
All the other non-enthusiast drivers on the road who clearly have no clue or care about what they’re doing.
Reverse: Fangio’s kidnapping is a fascinating story. They had no wish to ransom or harm him, only to keep him out of the very high profile race intended to make Batista’s Cuba look good. Apparently his kidnappers treated him extremely well during his captivity, to the point where he held no hard feelings and even kept…
Got it. Yeah, that’s why I run my original pads unless I’m on my way to or from the track. My endurance racing pads work wonderfully, even in street driving,, and have never faded on the track. But they squeak like a city bus and turn my gold wheels black with dust in a heartbeat.
I’m guessing you’re running stock brake pads, so this isn’t the normal squeaking of track pads (along with the tons of dust they produce). Still, it could be as simple as a pebble trapped between a rotor and dust shield, or your brake pads politely signalling that they’re not as new as they used to be and you may want…
My $600 Jetta. I’m still getting it up and running, but I’m enjoying the process. I’m planning to convert it into a Smyth Ute, which will cover and/or replace most of the damaged bits, but even now it has a certain charm about it. I enjoy my BRZ, but I’m also going to enjoy cruising around in this thing because it’s…
*fist bump*
I never imagined an article about a 1987 Maxima could be so interesting. Great story!
Neutral: I haven’t used many, but I think the worst I’ve used is in the dashboard of my very own 2014 Subaru BRZ. (It was also the “high end” system on the 2015 WRX, I believe.) It’s not terrible, but after using its so-so navigation for a while and having it take me to the opposite end of a major city than where I…
I didn’t realize that Master of the Nurburgring was a Society for Creative Anachronism peerage group.
SR20 FTW!
Damn. I’m driving the wrong brand. That reminds, I need to pick up some Yuengling on my way home.
The problem with all of these interlock solutions is that all you have to do to bypass them is fasten the belt across the empty seat, then get in and sit on top of it. The car detects a person and a buckled seat belt, so no problem - except, of course, that the person is still not belted in!
I felt just like Roscoe P. Coltraine in hot pursuit of them Duke boys again!
#gravelmachinegun FTMFW!
Came here to fix that!
