I always thought my throttle required more effort than I thought it should. I just chalked it up to it is what it is for this car. Recently I’ve driven two different Airs-a nearly new Pure and a 10,000 mile GT loaner. Both required significantly less effort across all modes. My colleague who has...

The stock 19” all season tires kill the performance for me. It my own fault as I know better- all-season tires are usually bad in all seasons. I’ve also never found a Perrelli tires I like anywhere as much as Michelins save for Pzero Corsa. I had a chance to drive my colleagues Pure with 20”...

Simple solution would be to energize the cable with just enough voltage when tampering is detected.

The instant torque is going to be hard to live without. A manual transmission in a capable car like a CT5 Blackwing or 911 T has been the only thing so far the has provided a better driving experience than the Air. I fully realize that this is not apples to apples comparison. This fact makes...

We use these along with sat phones when we go hunting in the UP. Works great. https://satellitephonestore.com/catalog/rent/details/iridium-go-252

I think you're right it's 97 of the population has access to internet. As noted the SXM linked works over BT. Or this?

Uncertain times? I’m pretty certain it’s going to be a fluster cluck. But I digress.. Edit or as mentioned above get one with a usb connection. How about a USB to 12V adapter? Not sure how many amps you need but I used something like this to power a radar detector and a dash cam temporarily...

Cars are my one true passion, well and watches, and wine, and I guess high-end AV, oh and pinball machines. In the end I look at these pursuits/ obsessions as a bargain relative to the alternative. I’ve had more cars than I can count but only one wife…

Yes if/when there’s a reasonable way to lease a Sapphire-less than $4k month for 24 with no money down- I’m in.

Are there signs of recent droppings? I only ask as I had a Porsche Cayenne that had the same issue. Initially they said that this happened under my ownership. Fortunately I had a good relationship with ownership and it was pretty easy to determine that this happened before I took possession.

This may have been covered here but my wiper blade had shifted enough in the fitting that it wasn’t working well. It was a simple fix of sliding back into place. I would have never noticed but I was ceramic coating the window.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have expectations that industry standard functionality should be there so I understand your frustration. How about using the SXM IOS app via CarPlay? I know you said that you’re in a rural area but there’s very few places left without access to cellular...

I was able to scrub off some speed and lay the bike down but still was north of 50 upon impact. Not sure how far a traveled as I was out cold. I remember right before and then waking up in an ambulance. It’s amazing how your mind and body protect you from trauma. Full face helmet, leathers...

June 10th 1991 rounded a tight corner in a rural area of Wisconsin at a fairly high-rate of speed. A group of cows had wandered out onto the road. Some road rash, a concussion and a my beloved Ducati 851 totaled I was lucky. Unfortunately it was a life changing moment for one of my friends.

Shoot! Glad your ok. Living in the Midwest and spending a lot of time in UP I've somehow never hit a deer but did hit a cow on a motorcycle. This and all the concussions in my youth are my go to excuse for exclusion from Mensa.

We have SafeCo for several properties including our primary home and they have been great.

Wish I could edit posts! Anyway IMHO I think the only questionable practice is using FUD to encourage over insuring. Insurance should be in place for significant and catastrophic events. Savings should cover everything else.

You don’t have you could always self insure, oh wait that’s not possible. I assume everyone knows that today insurance companies are banks that invest the float and long tail $. This is where a large portion of their net profits come from.

I hear Montana registration calling…

I don’t really have a grasp of consumer insurance rates as all my vehicles have been covered under a a commercial fleet policy. It’s criminal what we pay but have some 30 vehicles on the policy. We’ve been able to stay roughly flat by increasing the delectables.
