    Bought my first commercial e-bike today

    I looked at close up photos and I don't see a lockout. I have Rockshox but the lockout is pretty obvious. You might want to consider better pedals on a bike that nice. I'm using Crank Brothers Stamp 7 pedals.

    Normal Idle Temps for 13700K?

    Update: I installed a Thermalright contact frame tonight (this is the pressure bracket you referenced) and re-mounted using MX-6. A multicore Cinebench run came in at max 79C @ 217w. Idling at 32C. If you're idling over 40C I would really look into getting a contact frame.

    Normal Idle Temps for 13700K?

    I have a 13700k in my new build with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm and it idles between 30-33C. I used the MX-4 that came with the cooler.

    2023 Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma

    Smooth wasn't the problem in the Tacoma. I'm guessing you don't have this issue in the Lexus, but the 3rd gen Tacoma doesn't have a lot of sound deadening so 4k rpm gets old quickly.

    2023 Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma

    This was the problem with my 2016 TRD Offroad. I ended up selling it after only 11k miles (thank goodness for that resale value). Just say the word "hill" and it'll drop 2 gears and start screaming at 4k+ rpm.

    Who's into base models?

    Agreed. The sunroof is the worst offender. I've been forced into sunroofs on almost every car I've owned in order to get some other option.

    How many speakers do YOU have?

    My Outback has the Harman Kardon system, 12 speakers, and a sub. I'm not an audiophile so it's good enough for me.

    Wagon superiority thread

    Fair enough. It's not for me, but my wife likes to drive at altitude so I see what you're saying.

    Wagon superiority thread

    I love wagons. To me, wagons are just a better version of a CUV. Of course there are better off-roaders and faster sports cars, but tell me what a RAV4 or CRV does better than a wagon.

    156mph in a Dodge Charger..

    Don't try this in VA. You would be rewarded with a class 1 misdemeanor, a permanent criminal record, and up to 162 days in jail (not to mention whatever the fine would be).

    Tiny off grid home built in 2022, for $149,000 in Pierce, Arizona

    I've been an East-coaster my whole life, so the idea of hauling water is unsettling.

    2024 Grand Highlander, pics and specs Released

    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.

    Who does cylinder deactivation well?

    I can’t tell if you’re joking…

    Thinking about buying a beater car

    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.

    So I've want to buy a $60K electric Kia...

    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...

    So I've want to buy a $60K electric Kia...

    @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?

    Finally had to bite the bullet: Michelin Defender LTX M/S

    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.

    Finally had to bite the bullet: Michelin Defender LTX M/S

    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".
