Yeah I think the Pro puts out enough amperage so it doesn’t trigger the low battery complaint. The regular eneloops last just fine, but the low amperage makes it constantly report “low battery”.

If they’d just make it all sniffer tests we’d be great. Visual inspection, EO numbers, etc. it’s all just revenue generation. I don’t have an issue with needing clean exhaust, I’m all for mandatory catalytic converters - modern ones aren’t a problem - but I do take umbrage with the requirement of OEM ones. Some of

My buddy works at a smog shop and we did a sniffer before and after tuning. I was cleaner after tuning.

Oh I know - so many people I talk to from outside CA meet me and they give me the “ew california” look. Playing online games where people can see your location I get lots of flak as well. People don’t realize how much they’d lose with CA gone.

Level headed reply.

It’s always fun to see peoples faces when they (anti-Californians) have explained to them what California actually adds to the country and what the actual impact would be if it *did* “fall into the ocean already”.

California is becoming a horrible place to be an auto enthusiast :|

I was exactly with you until I had a string of arm surgeries. Driving my ST around with only my left arm/hand unbound was... not the smoothest I have ever driven :P

This is what I needed, a reminder why I stopped buying VW’s. Thanks!

I already have a Fiesta ST, convince me I do not need a golf wagon.

Man that 0-15mph time would’ve been nuts.

Thanks!

I’m somewhat of an evangelist for 2 kitchen gadgets: the Sous Vide, and the Air Fryer. I know the Air Fryer doesn’t do anything that an oven broiler can’t, but it’s quick, easy, simple to clean, and when I *have* one I cook food more than when I only had an oven/broiler. I’ve gifted several sous-vide cookers to people

I like to make a bunch of steaks, then ice-bath them so I can safely freeze them (I read you shouldn’t take vacuum bagged meat from heat to freezer, it cools to slow, I read that an ice bath is the safest way to drop the temp quickly enough to be safe before freezing). Then I can take them out, heat up the grill and

Ideally you would use MDT, it’s really easy to set up and Microsoft’s documentation is really good for it. It’s quite fast, you can build automated answer files so that its literally 2 minutes of attended time and you won’t have to worry about duplicate SID’s like you might when cloning. I think you can actually add

How to handle a toddler tantrum:

Ha yeah sometimes you put a foot down and feel that... weird tingly feeling, and you gotta wonder... do I really *need* that foot?

Pinky and ring finger = probably ulnar nerve (cubital tunnel along the bottom of your elbow - when you whack this it’s the “funny bone”). If you get this, stop rolling your elbows on your desk and get a soft pad between your elbows and the desk before you build up scar tissue and get cubital tunnel syndrome. That

well, I was as serious about the ball bag heater as I was about the massaging cupholders :P I’m from southern california so heated seats seem silly (here). A lot of cars come with them if you want certain other features but they’re pretty useless here. Just highlights the issue - though a lot of people still flock to

I’ve heard that you guys in the north have all sorts of standalone options, while in the US everything keeps getting more and more trim-level-ified.
