I hear that's an option. I'd just wait until it fails and do it then doe.
I loved the ride height in the trailhawk in off-road mode.

So, we have a production meeting every Monday at 10:00. Everyone goes over the status of all of the assemblies they have in or scheduled for production. The idea was kicked out to have it on Friday afternoons, and then if you don't have any emergency actions that come out of the meeting (material shortages that are causing the production line to stop) then you can leave after the meeting. Today is the first day we're trying that. I'm skeptical, but if it actually happens it will be very and the first solid thing this place has done for us in a while.

I'll just say it briefly on here.
A week before the issue began to occur, I got a check oil level warning with an amber explanation mark with a triangle light on dash. I was due almost 2,000 before my oil change is due. So I checked the dipstick, and the oil itself looked like it's about to drip off the dipstick. So I added one quart in the autozone parking lot just to be safe.... or so I thought. Had no signs what so ever.
The night before halloween day, I was approaching about to a stop light that was solid red, then got an arrow green, but still had to slam on my breaks due to one driver went wot on a red light. When I began accelerating after that (mind you car was running fine right before), I hear weird squeaking noises coming from the engine that you would usually hear on a beat to shit 20 year old car, and some shuddering. Drove for another mile and sound is becoming worse and worse, I decided to pull over as I didn't wanna add additional damage to the engine. No warning lights, until the last start where I finally got a CEL.
Long story short, I burned and pretty much ran out of oil, without the car warning me or shown any signs. My biggest worry was how much I am gonna pay for the repair, or trade in, etc. because AT THE TIME, I thought I was out of extended warranty (68k miles). Then when my Service Advisor (also trudy's now btw), told me I still have warranty (and covering it) and I stood frozen. I kept my paperwork from the day I bought the car and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, I signed a contract for a 7 year 100k warranty, while I was doing all the paperwork when I was purchasing the car. At that point, all I really cared was getting it fixed. All I am gonna pay is a $100 deductible.
I have videos of dat as well and will upload maybe today or tomorrow, I'm having a quite busy weekend.

I bought the car over 4 years ago, pretty sure it got wiped off the memory after a few months.KYGTIGuy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 4:49 pmHow the hell do you forget about that?MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 4:45 pm

Let me clean the 4-6 inches of snow of my car and I'll be on my way.
72 sounds cool. Want me to bring you a jacket?

Sick! Nah, thanks though man. I run hot, so 72* is shorts and t-shirt weather for me. If we stay out after the sun goes down I may run home to grab pants though.

Shrimp is so easily overcooked
This is the only way to boil shrimp.
