The single screen minimalism bs?
Yes. Regardless of people saying you get used to the control layout, I just find it heinous looking. It looks like it could be a shared desk at a WeWork or something.

The BEATR has finally left me stranded. I believe it sucked air into the clutch fluid since the pedal just sucks itself to the floor.

I actually really enjoyed doing it this past week. It had been years since I hand washed a car.
Such a nice small car to wash and dry too.

Well it's still "real" in a sense that it's combustion within the exhaust during decell, but modern efficiency took the natural burbles away long ago. I do kinda miss it in my car. When I went from H-pipe to the x-pipe it almost completely eliminated them. Edit: wait does "active sou...

That's exactly what it does. Dumps fuel in the exhaust on purpose.

But then you would have to drive a model 3, which is pure seppuku.

It could've looked so much better if not for the golf clubs requirement.

The E-Ray 5 spoke wheels are so hot though.

OK i am not alone in this... I always found the claims of "shit just hoses off" exaggerated with both the car and the wheels. Coated or not. I do find that dirt doesn't stick AS much to a coated car but it may be a marginal improvement at best... and it is a bit easier to clean. With whee...

Don't think anyone is claiming the car is perfectly clean, but it's really no different than paying $15 for the touchless car wash.

No chance I would attempt to coat the OEM wheels myself. The Apex ones are simple enough though. https://youtu.be/nqox-iCRIeM?si=3xxvwfcCWJE1RjSd I used the Turtle Wax brand spray stuff and left it on really thick for the barrel and pockets of the wheels.

I'm sure BROla offers a nice exhaust. Their touring style with full mufflers usually offer a pretty deep tone but exhausts are very expensive now. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mini-catback-exhaust-borla-140120#fitment I use Green Filter, as do a lot of people I saw at Grid Life running on the tr...

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

Your preference in Corvettes is noted for the record, and duly considered. Not getting a black car, black wheels, or a red interior. Brand new 2LT order with Brola is $88K, 1LT is $81K. Forged APEX ramz are another $4K. Also I just need to rent a C8. This R53 is looking like it will be my first bla...

I think the dealo is that they "fixed it" in 2017 but I have not researched it. LG also offered some epic triple radiator kit or some such. I'm mostly offering it as my contribution to content today because by and large prices are not terribly reasonable. And the almost 95% selection of c...

I think you are right that the overheating problems are on the track but it’s still kind of gives me pause considering the car was built for the track. That said, it is a sweet car, and if it tickles your fancy and prices get into a reasonable realm, I’d say go for it. I think the dealo is that the...
