I had the same on my 17’. After tightening the bolt it has not come loose again. One other rattle I had from under the car was the plastic fasteners that hold the rocker panels on. Would set in to a resonance during freeway cruise. Secured that one and all has been good over the 50K+ I have...

Definitely! I have been driving for 47 years and at no time ever not owned a manual transmission car and as long as I can depress a clutch pedal, I will continue shifting my own gears.

I bought mine brand new in May of 2017. It had 11 miles on it. Has a little over 50K trouble free miles. DD’d until I retired in May of this year. No intention of selling. No new car for sale under $100K can offer the kind of driving experience this car provides

I can understand your thought process. What I can say is the information I got from my query and my own training with composites in aviation tells me to not use a chemical stripper. One concern I’d have if approaching it the way you suggest is just when to neutralize the stripper before any...

I’m standing by what I said before. Chemical strippers on a composite will not be a good idea. But before posting this I thought it may be a good idea to go for an AI query and this was the answer: No, there is no widely recommended or universally “safe” chemical paint stripper for painted...

EV’s have their use case as does anything. Does not make sense for my use,. My wife on the other hand would be a perfect candidate. Would not be a Tesla or really any EV we could comfortably afford just due to the, from my POV horrible interior design. I need a car interior to look good...

Purchased new in May of 17’. It isn’t going anywhere without me.. pretty much a unicorn car now. What else has a V8 and stick for less than $100k if buying new?

Could not bring myself to live with the terrible S650 interior. If not getting back in to a used S550 I’d go back to Porsche and get used 911.

I would like to buy a few filters. Can you provide the contact info? Thx

There obviously are multiple ways to look at this but my own POV as an owner of a ‘17 with 48,xxx miles and counting that is daily driven, I am not expecting to sell this car as it fits every criteria I have for a car under $200K. Value is not a worry because at some point it could easily turn...

The wheels and tail lights/taillight center panel are non stock. How about the OE parts? Are they included with the sale?

There is a minor difference in sound but in no way does it make calls difficult to hear or necessitate turning the volume way up. I actually have my speaker wired to a switch snd never activate the speaker.

No out if the ordinary vibrations for my 2017 gen 1 engine either. 46k on it so similar mileage to yours as well.

Midbass speakers arguably make the most difference. The majority of the music is in the range they are designed to reproduce. Nit sure i understand why you would chop up the dash since great midranges will fit in the stock location but you may know much more than i do. I do want to upgrade...

I did not lose my center but rather disabled it. Better without question. Wired a switch to turn it on when listening to ballgames as it can be good for that type of listening but for music it dies not make any sense.
