Haha no just the CS chat. When you're finished, it automatically emails you a copy.

I had a VERY LONG back and forth with Tire Rack some years ago when I purchased a brand new set of wheels and high-performance winters from them (Michelin Alpin PA4's). Any wheel + tire combo you order from them direct is supposed to come already RFB'ed. Well, it wasn't, and the entire setup was...

True story. Had my car jacked up at home for several weeks in the middle of a job. First order basically got lost in the mail. They resent the items and to my amazement, the package was en route to Australia. The CS chat was rather hilarious when the person on the other end had an "aha" moment...

It's a pretty straightforward program, though one time they sent my package to Australia. And were a bit rude about it on CS. Not kidding.

Huh? it's not meant to be "inside" the brake system whatsoever. It's meant to lubricate external caliper piston seals, mostly. FYI, those seals are exposed to the same "water, dirt, salt" corrosion as the rest of the vehicle.

Ya, but it'll make the honey-do list feel like Le Mans.

I just chatted with them and they say it has to be the exact same SKU. Oh well.

Check this guy out:

Literally just purchased an Amazon/Chinese balancer and tire changer for this reason. I'm never going back to a tire shop. Mounted and balanced some Conti VikingContact 7's and some Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02's, both run smooth as glass no problems. In almost every case, the Chinese balancer...

Are you walking into the Wally, or is this online?

If you switch oils, does it fall under the LRG?

Wow that's a lot of 034 Motorsport upgrades. I had their Stage 1 for a minute but it caused cold start issues and Customer Support was brutal. Not sure if it was ChatGPT responding to my emails or what. Won't make that mistake again (though the tune was nice). Believe it or not...

What's intuitive about this? Here's the manual for their premier Elite model. The same people that forget to torque your oil drain plug are the same people operating this machine. I've got three college degrees and this hurts my head to look at 😂 P.S. - the experience at my local DT is that...

Haha wow I never even thought of that, but makes perfect sense.

Not entirely true. My understanding is that the machine is actually operator dependent. It can be screwed up just the same as an oil change at the same dealership - which happens often. Google around for the manual to one of these machines, they are not for the faint of heart.

The problem with this is they generally just make up a number. I've had to ask for photos of the computer screen in the past and printouts to accompany the work order. It's all black magic stuff in the end.

I recently took the plunge and purchased a Chinese wheel balancer off Amazon. It told me to put the weights exactly where the dealerships Hunter Road Force machine had them. Hopefully they at least match mounted the wheel to the tire way back when, but its hard to find anyone to use the machine...

This is sort of a mirage because output/input/size of the economy is all measured in USD which is on a terminal decline of devaluation since abandoning the Gold Standard. They have other tools besides STIRs. Namely, and more famously, QE/T.

Actual nominal inflation is probably 2-3x the stated value, so at a minimum Fed Funds rate should be at least double.

Indeed. That was more about controlling behavior in the public square. Nobody (at scale) was going into homes of private citizens to lock them in there (or conversely, drag them out). There aren't even enough LEO to enact this sort of thing.
