Ah, totally forgot about that. I’ve driven some customer cars with that, but only in the daytime.

But the gauges don’t light up ,…? At least mine don’t unless I turn on at least the parking lights.

In Virginia we are required to turn on our low beams when using our wipers due to rain. State law. My DRLs are my low-beam lights, just ran at a lower voltage(when I turn regular headlights on, the same bulbs that are on for DRLs burn brighter). So I freely admit to just turning parking lights on in the rain because…

On a similar note,...As a former XJ owner,...I can NOT stand the constant mix-up between Jeep Cherokee and Jeep GRAND Cherokee. I was always on the look-out for used parts (specifically a trailer hitch) and 9/10 “Jeep Cherokee” parts on places like CL, are ZJ not XJ parts. They are not the same! I just saw a “Jeep…

Which way are you going from Charlottesville to Blacksburg?

Bullshit. Lived in SOVA my entire life. Still do. Speed everyday.

I’ve seen cars from there. Always cringed when I saw a racial slur plastered on the back of someone’s vehicle.

Safe?

Is this really a saying anymore? I think the only time I can recall this saying is from watching Dukes of Hazard reruns as a young’n and the “bad guys” would have what they called a “souped-up sedan.”

That’s what I was thinking, ha!

It can be done with manual transmission FWD,…when I first bought my first Integra; I put it in reverse, get some good momentum going, hit the clutch and slam the shifter into first as fast as I could while revving the engine to the moon and immediately dump the clutch in 1st and let it bounce on the rev limiter. Haha.…

Welcome. Now the big questions ,…

That’s not unheard of. Friend is a technician at a Nissan dealer back home, he said he does a few CVT replacements a week.

It’s not to see something properly done, instead of hacked together and “be aight” mentality. Ive always appreciated the extra “small steps” that many ignore such as cleaning up the wires, properly torquing the bolts, silicone over the connections ,…

Va Beach has tough rules in general. Never lived there but visited a lot when I lived in the 804. I remember the “no cursing” ordeal when that was a new thing! People love to bag on VA for car enthusiasts but it certainly is much worse in other places (ahem, ever heard of CARB?). Everybody loves to whine about the VSI…

Lifelong Virginian checking in. Have gotten a reckless ticket and 3 days later got a speeding ticket in a different county! Also got pulled for going more than double the speed limit in Chesterfield County. Never served jail time.

Meh, kei car would be fine except for major highways.

I’m very thankful for modern safe cars, as I would have lost a lot of people in my life to accidents by now, probably.

Star for you, lol. At one time my daily was an XJ and the wife had a Forester.
