I've seen one Gladiator around here decked out like that. It was in a mall parking lot. He wasn't living in the vehicle ASAIK :cool:

I bought an inexpensive one through Amazon that does that. Set the pressure I want and it does the rest.

Racing results in warranty invalidation. Subaru has been known to have photographers and investigators at track events. No racing. (I admit to autocrossing my VW GTI, but that is much slower and not head to head racing. Basically never leave second gear and come nowhere near the tachometer...

I saw one at the gas pumps at the local Exxon. I asked the owner when she came out of the store part. We laughed. She gets a pass though, the tanker was there and took up a lot of space filling the station tanks and there was no other place to park. She had been inside to buy something but...

Like most things like that: nothing. If I leave SC where there is no inspection and no sticker and drive to PA or anyplace requiring inspections and stickers, or to a "pass by sniffer state", no fine for me.

SC stopped this decades ago, it was a simple all the lights and signals and brakes work? If so, that was good for a sticker. Now the officer can check these if she/wants. Most of the time they'll stop you for lights not used or working. But that's because they are looking for something else...

Today: VW '17 VW GTI, 2.0 303 miles/10.7 gallons: 28.31 mpg in combination a lot of around town and some highway driving since last fillup.

A lot of us joint care and don't need to impress anyone outside of the exam or operating room.

I'm somewhere between a crumudgeon (2007 Grand Cherokee) and liking more modern things like my GTI. 🏁 :)

Only when all the fun of driving is gone. I doubt I'll ever have an electric car but from what I've seen and read, there are going to be some fun ones. From Teslas, VW, Ford, and from projections the next Chargers and Challengers (or another name if they choose), from Dodge.

My son is a lawyer and he drives a Lexus. But it is 5-8 years old with 180,000 on the odometer. Nice car and noone know or cars about its age or mileage. This idea of showing success is great among lawyers and real estate agents. I'm a physician and couldn't care less. My best conversations...

I've read that the average new car buyer buys 5 to 6 cars in their lifetime. By the time they want or need another, all the people they dealt with before are gone, and often the dealership. The dealers know this so there is no incentive to keep long term customers happy. And "brand loyalty" is...

I will never forget how I was treated at several Ford dealerships and the quality of the vehicle. That was in only Ford in my past and there won't be one in my future.

These are global companies, even GM (which is already Chinese) and Ford and Stellantis (Belgian headquarters although some of their North Amecan vehicles are made in USA and or Canada, with many parts made in Mexico (including all those HEMIs (at least the 5.7s). The other thing to keep in...

Now you have the latest 2.5W-25. Noone else has that.

Came to the redneck in a dream: "I have the generator and that window A/C unit and this old car" Of Course: make them into one!

This is not a direct comparison. 10,000 miles or one year is recommended for my VW GTI. Only I get about 7000 miles per year on it and do it then. Of course, that is a turbocharged DI engine. I think you are find going more miles between oil changes than 5000 for good care of your Civic and...

My 2007 Grand Cherokee was built with a Boston Acoustics speakers, sub and amp system. It is more than adequate. The standard system in my 2017 VW GTI seems fine. I use that one a lot more than the Jeep for long distance, which is the only time I listen. With Apple Car Play, I plug in my phone...

But there are hidden costs to picking up the quarter: biggest being personal injury when the back disc gives way or your knee pops or, heaven forbid) you fall over and hit your head on the concrete.
