This is trouble for me. My wife is on her second Highlander and due for a replacement soon. The past few years she's been saying she just wants a bigger Highlander.

I can’t tell if you’re joking…

Haha, sounds like my wife. She insists on parking as close as possible when shopping, then when we get home she'll ask me to go on a walk.

I'm suggesting trying to see flaws in the car before buying it this time. You were able to find flaw with the trim without owning it...

@Ws6 I've followed your posts over the years and you tend to get really psyched about a car, buy it, then find tons of flaws shortly thereafter. Have you been able to identify any flaws with the EV6?

Just checked my records. My wife’s Defenders have 78k miles with 5/32” left. They made it past the 70k mile warranty so I’m happy.

My wife has the Defender LTX M/S on her Highlander. She's had them 4.5 years (not sure how many miles) and they're still going strong with 5/32".

Adaptive cruise control. Long highway drives feel half as long with adaptive cruise.

I have an Audew jump pack. It works well.

Well, turns out it's not chalk. I don't know what they used, but soap, a deck brush, and a power washer couldn't get it off.

I think @redhat is probably correct that it's "Keep old tires", especially since this was on a Subaru Outback. Good to know that it's just chalk, I'll scrub it off this weekend. They did not mention anything about me keeping the tires on the paperwork. In fact, now that I look at the paperwork...

I had new tires put on at Costco and told them I would like to keep the old tires as they only had 1000 miles on them. They gave me the old tires back, but wrote "KOT" very large in white on the tread of each tire. What does "KOT" mean? I'd like to sell the old tires and I'm not sure if these...

I’m back in the wagon(ish) game.

I've been researching the CrossClimate 2's and have read hundreds of reviews. Half the reviews say they're quiet with no mpg hit, the other half say they're loud and they took a huge mpg hit. Everyone seems to agree that they have great traction. I'm not sure who to believe so I might have to...

The last build I did was in 2019. It's primarily used as a software development machine. Case: NZXT H710i with Noctua fans CPU: Intel Core i9-9900k 3.6GHz 8-core Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero wifi RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 64GB DDR4-3200 GPU: ASUS RTX 2070 Super 8GB...

Posting about the car you just bought on a car forum is considered gloating? Isn't talking about cars why we're all here?

Most new turbos keep pumping coolant through the turbo for a few minutes after the engine is shutoff.

I stick to 5,000 mile OCI's in my Ecoboost. As far as oil, I've used Kirkland, Castrol Edge, Castrol Magnatec, and now Valvoline EP. There doesn't seem to be any difference, especially at a relatively short interval.

I spent my childhood flying in my grandfathers Beechcraft Bonanza (v tail). The nostalgia has made me pretty partial to Beechcraft. Bonanza Staggerwing

Besides Castrol Magnatec, I've used Castrol Edge and Valvoline EP in my Ecoboost. Unfortunately I don't have any UOA results, but from a NVH or gas mileage perspective I haven't noticed any difference.
