Yep, a good shop will mind the balance dot.
They’ll ALSO look for sidewall information on whether it’s a directional tire. This can be either a specified rotation direction or a specified inner and outer sidewall.

But why?
I (we) find a joint email account very helpful for communications with the kids’ school, billers and financial institutions, and doctors’ offices. Those places will never consistently address all communications to both individual email accounts. So a joint email account seems to be the most effective way to…

The presidency, probably.

Did you test drive a Golf Sportwagen?

I love Mazda (have owned 5 of them), and I’m as strong an advocate for manual transmissions as you’ll find.

Yeah, mk7 TDI is really, really bad to do on the floor.

Pain in the ass for putting in your pocket indeed.
I’ve made a pair of side cutters part of my standard travel kit. First thing I do after opening my suitcase at the hotel is cut that damn cable, so that I can pocket a SINGLE key for the rest of my trip. When it’s time to return the rental, I zip tie the whole bundle…

Nailed it.

“The enthusiasts all buy the soft-top anyway, and the RF I’ve always taken to be intended for people who might actually want AWD.”

A 2019 Miata RF. Zero regrets. We love the car.

You are not alone. My wife and I were shopping for a car just about 6 months ago, and a used Cayman was our top pre-test-drive choice. Once we actually got into one, the cheap feeling interior helped bumped it down to second pick. Maybe third.
If you’re only looking for a great toy, you won’t mind. If you’re looking…

No significant snow in my area, but I still pull it in for the coldest part of the winter. The grass isn’t growing then anyway, and I figure it must be better for the battery.

Eh, eventually it rains and it gets somewhat cleaner. It’s a device that lives outside. Of course it’s going to look dirty.
Seriously, dog poop strikes are actually fairly rare. Poop sitting on the lawn is really only a threat for a few days anyway, before weather begins withering it away. With the sporadic way the…

Related: Sometimes they also forget to check their own numbers. I’m sure you can guess who the dealership then tries to pin that on.

If you guessed the customer, you’re right!

The area I currently have it cutting is about 0.15 acres. Be sure to calculate actual mowed area, not your total property area. Your house, driveways, landscaped areas, and wooded areas that don’t get mowed can take up a huge portion of your total lot.
The mower finds its charger with a totally different mechanism than…

I have one. How well it works is very dependent on what your yard looks like, I think. If you have specific questions, reply to my other comment.
How well they last remains to be seen, but dependability may be a concern. Mine was replaced under warranty.

I have it, and for me I think it was worth the purchase. If you have specific questions reply to my other comment.

Damn it. I tried to post a comment earlier this morning, but Kinja seems to have eaten that post. Here’s trying again.

Yeah, dibs on spots is utter bullshit. The city doesn’t have enough parking. Everyone there knows it. It all only halfway works thanks to each spot being able to serve multiple people as cars come and go over the course of a day. So nobody gets to claim one when his car isn’t in it. Moving a little snow is not a…

“Even the biggest petrolhead has to admit that, in 30 years, internal combustion engine cars could be like records, still around, sure, but basically for the enthusiasts, who will forever insist that, yes, they still sound amazing.”
