    Law Enforcement - What Are Your Pet Peeves?

    I haven't been pulled over in many years *knock on wood* but the last two times the cop lit me up on busy roads without a shoulder or safe place to stop other than blocking the lane. I turned on my signal to acknowledge them and to pull into a shopping plaza less than 100 feet away but the cop...

    Anyone ever change oil in rental car?

    No. Only thing I've done is add washer fluid during a winter road trip. Had the rental company reimburse me the $4 and change for it too because you bet your bum they'd send me a bill if I owed them $4!

    Best/Worst A/C Performance in a car?

    Best: Old 2002 Infiniti I35 and current 2018 Elantra. The variable displacement compressors might have something to do with this. No muggy lapses of a cycling clutch system. Good: Current 2025 Lyriq. Cranking the A/C does noticeably sap battery charge, though. Average: Hondas -- old 2002...

    Feedback/Vibration in Steering Wheel

    Looks great for that many miles! Love the color & rims. Don't think I've seen that gen in champagne before.

    Treadwear - GY Reliants

    2013 Pilot 4WD Tread when new = 10/32". After ~12k miles, tread = 7-8/32''. Rotated once so far. At this rate, they won't last the rated 65k miles. I kind of expected this going in. However, they still ride well; handle surprisingly decent in the rain. Will so how this changes as they wear...

    Tires choices for Ford Edge

    I'd get Goodyear Reliants from WM over any of those random brand tires

    Anyone ever replace pads on one wheel, but not the other?

    I did it once when a stuck rear caliper took out pads & rotors that I had just installed several months prior. The other side still looked brand new so I left it alone.

    Domino's thoughts.....

    Very mediocre. Only really worth getting for the $7.99 large carryout deal.

    Rating Every DEEP DISH Pizza in Chicago (ft. Chef Leo Spizzirri)

    Big fan of Lou Malnati's, eventhough it's a chain around Chicagoland.

    Any experiences using Shell free charging?

    I tried it at a couple of locations with my Lyriq. Worked but was pretty slow. The charge progress on the app also wasn't accurate. Wouldn't rely on it when on a road trip but fine for a (free!) top off while out shopping or having lunch.

    who puts their license plate in the windshield?

    I'm in a two plate state and a lot of EVs around here, specifically Teslas, don't have front plates. When I picked up my Lyriq, the dealer hadn't installed the front bracket or plate. They said a lot of owners like the clean look. I told them that may be so but I'm not trying to attract any...

    Negotiating with a water remediation company

    Part of my condo basement flooded due to a leaking foundation wall. I filed a claim with my insurance company immediately and they sent a water remediation company to clean and dry out the basement. Insurance has now told me they are denying the claim since ground water intrusion is not a...
