The term "buddy" is about as generic as it gets. That doesn't mean he was addressing you personally. Ever had your computer freeze up and said something along the lines of "you piece of junk". By saying "you", you're not referring to the manufacturer of the computer nor the hands that assembled...
Just my 2 cents:
The guy didn't do anything wrong. How many times have you finished a conversation and rolled your eyes as soon as you turned around, or let out a very audible sigh after ending a phone conversation?
Everyone has bad days. If this guy wants to say your car is "junk", so be...
Thank you!! That was the first thing that came to my mind when reading the article. How can they get that wrong?! You're trying to sell a modification for an insane price (based on what you get), and you can't even correctly advertise what the customer gains...?
:shrug:
Exactly! If the computer is showing +1mpg vs. a hand calculation at 0 miles, in theory, it would show the same +1mpg at 2,200 miles.
If it's off, it should be off no matter what. When there is a drop of 15mpg it's not just the computer rounding or something.
I've had my car for 8+ months now, but I'm still a little jealous of you for some reason. It must be the whole 'OMG I CAN'T WAIT TIL IT GETS HERE, LET ME CHECK COTUS FOR THE 73rd TIME TODAY' feeling of anticipation. Kinda like the old saying "getting there is half the fun".
Either way, you'll...
That's assuming an EB owner is willing to put in 93 over 87. I think most guys with the EB got it because it's a car that looks great, has better than average power, all while getting really respectable MPG. All those are still true while running on 87.
That being said, if you were to compare...
Duuuuuuude, I'm an idiot! I looked right at the symbol and thought Euro's still. I got 2 hours of sleep last night, that's my excuse :headbonk:
Thanks for the correction. That amount of money makes a difference!
ÂŁ9k actually comes out to $10k. That $4k gap is huge. The difference between base/premium, base/Recaro's + PP, etc. The exchange rate has been trending in favor of the dollar.
Definitely won't fit on the 15's. If it did they would have been selling it since the launch of the S550. No reason to hold out on "releasing" it if no changes needed to be made and delay profits.
Dude, you might have just cost me a few grand...
I thought I was happy with my EcoBoost, but hot dang that 5.0 sounds amazing!! I've gotta contact my dealer and see what it'd cost me to upgrade...
EcoBoost doesn't take that big of a hit. It's more like an 11% drop in HP (from 310 to 275) and 6% drop in torque (320 to 300).

I heard that Michigan spends the least amount of money per capita on roads than any other state. They're absolutely horrible here as well.
At least you have awesome Hawaii weather to go with your bad roads :)
Not trying to say that wasn't an awful morning for you, tho! I'm sorry you had to...
