Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I don't get a lot of rock chips in these parts so I really don't get the PPF craze but MMWV if I was constantly taking rock strikes. You've got those smooth california roads. Seasonal changes and constant road repairs up here mean lots of rocks. Now with my vinyl stickers I'm all :aintcare: about d...

My :gorf: only had 14k miles and it had plenty of rock chips on the hood and front bumper. :iono: When I do need to get it reapplied I will definitely not be going back to the detailer of doom. It didn’t stop you from getting 90% of sticker and you had 0 venting sessions online and 0 visits to DOD(...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Sometimes I wonder why PPF is all the sudden a thing. Cars haven’t had it for 100 years and now it’s all about those stickers applied by a 18 year old vape artist that look like absolute shit about 5 years in… If you keep it that long. And they cost 4 Michelin star dinners for 2 … My :gorf: only ha...

I did ppf on the M3 and there are several specks of dust underneath it. Found 3 more yesterday but I don't really see it on the paint unless I'm detailing the car. It's more noticeable on the carbon roof though. PPF guy had to do the roof and both fenders twice because of mistakes. Smaller pieces l...

While I always thought the mirror shake on the Rav4 made it feel like a complete pile. Evidently there's a TSB for this issue.
We'll see if it's a fight to get it fixed under warranty.

I mean I get it. As dumb as it is, there have been a number of road trips where I wished we had a bit more room than a :jeep: and it's just us and a dog. BUT paying $10/mile to drive an X5 is still kind of odd. I get wanting to go fast and I get wanting space but why combine them? B58 is already fa...

I feel like this is the real answer :lolol: A couple rich college kids that live in my town have those baby blue M2’s with the boxy front. I totally dig it. Looked stupid as hell in pictures but it’s way cooler in person. I've softened on them a bit and I think the adro grille makes the front signi...

Dude does some BS in pharma and his "wife" runs a daycare. I don't see them as dickswingers. Dickswingers drive a Urus or a G63. Not some bavarian knock off sports SUV that isn't even the top trim. Or nowadays or probably soon, Cybertruck. I just heard a rumor where 4 roomies split lease ...

I mean it’s cool but kinda excessive. I really don’t get that trim level. It’s has the m motor … but it’s detuned … m badging all over the place … it’s over 100k msrp … but it’s not an XM5 A horrendous fam car imo from a cost of ownership perspective when you have a great B58 powered X5 for like 65...

I mean same and I don't even put many miles on. All Terrains seem to be the exception though, 50K on the :jeep: and they're going pretty strong. A Wrangler really does seem to be one of the cheapest cars to own :mindblown: Yep. Low depreciation, relatively cheap maintenance, pretty decent reliabili...

42k mi out of an original set of tires? I feel like that's absolutely unheard of these days. It seems manufacturers get sent jank versions of tires that last half as long as a set ordered from Tire Rack etc would. I'm shopping tires for my mom's car right now since hers are dry rotted all the way a...

I'm with you, Michelin is just a very overrated brand IMO. The ones on the 86 have been aight but I've never been too impressed with other sets. I loved the AS3+ tires I had on the MK7. Quiet, good grip for a no-season, and really good steering feel compared to something like a DWS with super squis...

I’ve been beating that drum for a while now especially since the 24’s are out which look great. Elantra N is basically the Kirkland brand Hype R. Is that tiny bit of extra performance out of the Hype R worth another $10k in price? Not really. But is the brand prestige of Type R worth it? :iono: Bra...

Elantra N for family car? I’ve had the thought should the need arise. That said… would I always wish it was a Hype R?
