    Tactile feel—does it matter to you?

    I don't like the bmw turn stalks because they return to center when you're blinking to one side. I'm used to feeling which direction I'm blinking based on the position of the stalk which doesn't work with BMW They do have excellent feel. I hate mushy buttons/dials

    Neighbor from Hell - this week's events

    This is generally true, however we got approved by the HOA to have a shipping container in our yard as a shed. Shortly after the HOA banned shipping containers, and every few years they tell us we aren't approved to have a shipping container. So we sent them a copy of the approval they wrote...

    Lower Thermost Temp

    The vw TDIs will read 190 from 170 to 200. I've never driven one that will go over 210 so I don't know when it starts moving again
