Ugh so it happened today. First time in 10yrs, i accidently scuffed a curb, and got a small amount of curb rash.
Instead of dropping nearly $400 for a replacement rim, or paying i dunno $150 to a wheel repair shop, i was thinking about maybe trying to rub it down, and dab it up with some...
oh I am used to it, i refuse to buy an automatic as my daily. I've been living in the US for 20yrs pressing the damn clutch in every time i start the car, and for the 20yrs of driving prior to that, in Europe, not having to do so. This week, after getting off the plane in Barcelona, jumped into...
So i'm currently in Europe visiting family and in a rental. All rentals out here are manual. Its very refreshing to not have to push in the clutch every time you start the car. I know it seems such a minor thing, but it really is refreshing to not have to do ! so much so that i'd love to mod...
Nice, does this Meross homekit automatically pop up a notification on the screen, regardless of what app you're in, when you get close to home, That's the one thing i like about it.
So i did the 30 day trial and got to like it. Leaving the home is a bit of a pain, as 1.\ you're reversing so the my Q isn't on the screen, as you pull off the drive, and 2.\ the phone decides whether its still on wifi or cellular and can sometimes differ in times for carplay to connect, and 3.\...
While on the same subject, cos i have a teen driver, i paid a yr sub to Life360. Anyway now they've updated their privacy policy and it basically says

Anyway if you have life360 for...
I'd also goto https://vehicleprivacyreport.com/ and fill everything out to ensure they're being specifically told you're not allowing them to share. Bit like the do not call list.
If anyone tells me speeding is dangerous, i rightly point them towards the German Autobahn stats and ask them to explain why is it safer?, where no speed limit exists, yet far safer than any interstate. Why cos when you speed, you're focused. When you're cruising at 70mph you become lazy and...
i just switched mine off. However now some of the acuralink linking info doesn't work. Not that i give a crap. I'm more concerned with the 3500 miles of giving it the beans (at times when safe to do so) as anymore would expect with a performance car. I mean i haven't been going nuts, but...
ok i ordered a rigid 3 inch one for the sake of $20, i'll give it a try. Its just that every other car i've ever owned since the chime came about, , all i had to do was plug in a computer make a change and be done with it. Or follow a sequence. Everything stayed OEM, no extra contraption to...
I don't think these work on our cars, the clip has a different shape to it. i looked online and couldn't see anything that had a similar shaped clip to our cars. not that i'd want the hassle of such a contraption.
i'll see about the voltage. i don't think a multimeter probe will fit in there...
OK finally getting around to taking another look at this. So i unplugged the plug from the socket, and the seatbelt chime did stop ! The little icon (red unbuckled / green buckled in) on the dash showed i was buckled in, however i got two different errors that cycled through. All errors went...
For whatever reason i just wasn't a fan of the OEM. I found the stitching to be a little scratchy on the palm of my hand, the knob itself to be a little small, and the etching a little sharp.
So i picked up an Alcantara Fusion from Billetworkz, to match my OEM Alcantara steering wheel...
Good job. Car sits perfect now ! Yes, on my first try, it wasn't happening as planned. But on the 2nd, it went much much better. Don't forget to get your alignment done now.. The camber will be out just a little. I think they do a camber kit? maybe ? i dunno, i'm just running without it for...
