You could wedge the gas cap in the handle to hold it.
Unless you drive a hot rod Lincoln, which doesn't have one :triggered:
:ohdang:
I know my :truk: doesn’t have one, but thought they were still widespread.

Oregon for sure. They wouldn't let me touch the pump. I hated it... Major methhead tweakers at every stop ...

They looked like this.

Yep... the Oregon setup is not great. NJ is better in my experience and the prices seem to be lower than other states in the :wasteful: areas up there where gas is pretty :waxer:
Yeah Nj's were :notbad: especially in NYC "burbs" and :crang: neck in the woods.

I hate that shit. Don't tell me LOW when I'm looking at the range. I know it is low. Give me a fucking number so I can keep track.
:triggered:

Or just don't run it below 1/4 tank. :iono:
I try to maintain that strategy. Sometimes I get busy or lazy and forego the refuel at that mark, though.

interesting. On hers you can adjust the following distance. :notbad:
i can see where it wouldn't be that useful during a morning commute in typical rush hour traffic :doe:
Yeah, they allow you to adjust the following distance but all are too far for a traffic commute. The thing is, everyone in the magazine reviews raves about it with full stop/go, but they must be the type that leaves a 10 car gap in the commute and makes everyone behind them :rage:
:disgust:
I'll have to give it a try myself one day and report back. Sounds like a great idea in theory doe.
:wap: Where are these mangos?

Looks like the press photos, which is to say :notbad:

It's already dark out now. I'll have to get some another day. The seats, wheel, shifter are pretty much perfect. Everything else looks good and feels... OK to me, not soft enough for most forumbros :doe:

Stereo has apple/android capabilities and the touchscreen is responsive, I haven't set it up yet to try. I prefer using the phone directly but I'll give AA a shot. The sound quality itself is not great, maybe a little better than the mazda3 but it's super tinny. Stereo is the most likely thing to get modded eventually. It's easier to fix that than to fix handling or seating.

I thought that was illegal?
It's illegal for the station owner, not for the pumper.

I'm usually done pumping by the time they even notice I've pumped.
The shell in very nice Trenton had a lovely attendant dressed in hoodie and jeans (no identifiers at all that he was an employee). Came up behind me and said “HOW MUCH U WANT” I looked at him and thought he was selling me drugs.

My R3 doesn’t, and I thought it ran the same firmware that the R7 runs?

Unless there was a recent update that I’m missing.
:iono: with the last firmware update awhile back it stopped getting falses on them.
Looks like I’m missing a firmware update. Will update tonight or tomorrow and I’ll have the improved bsm filtering! :fuckyeah:

You know, it took a little getting used to the Uniden coming from using a V1 since the 90's... I tried a couple of the high end Escorts a few years ago and hated them. Now that I am used to the R7 when I get in the cars with the V1s (R and JL) I feel like I'm using an outdated turd. I think I need at least one more R7.

Uniden has really stepped up their game over the last few years.

It's too nice that we were the only white privilage bois driving fairly new VW eggs that are clean, no dents nor mismatched body panels. Oh and the roads felt more like we were in MOAB!

Congrats man.

I have one of these on my showroom floor, but it’s auto. The green is just phenomenal. Jelly.

I miss the hell out of my FR-S. Car was sublime.

Let me know if you need anything TRD or OEM parts or need any help with it. I’m back with Toyota again.
