I had a thread a week or so ago about looking at a new car. Decided to get out of the Mustang while the value was high.
I bought my 2015 Premium for $36k 18 months ago and was able to trade it in for $30k. I found those number acceptable on a trade in.
Picked up a 2015 Audi SQ5 (CPO to 100k...
Back story...
My commute doubled 18 months ago going from 16 miles one way to 32 mile one way. I was spending 2.5 hours a day almost sitting in a car in traffic.
I bought my mustang so I could at least enjoy traffic.
Well, I got a new job and my commute will go back to the old 16 miles...
I have never been one for personalized plates. Figure it is too easy to take down a plate when driving aggressive. But I bit the bullet and had to represent my team.
Also, took my stripes off. They were pulling up in places and had a few rock chips. They came off pretty easy, had to use...
The stripes on my roof were replaced last summer because they were pealing up at the edge. They are doing it again on the roof, and the hood / bumper has a few rock chips.
I am leaning on just letting the car sit in the sun this weekend and pull them off when warm. Then clean and wax the...
She was awesome. Daughter and the car. My daughter got the hang of it real quick, only killed it twice.
Started her off by keeping her foot off the gas and just feeling the clutch, when she figured out that relationship, added in the throttle and she was golden.
We were in a parking lot...
Went up from a 265/35-20 stock tire to 275/35-20. No fitment issues. The extra 10mm makes a big difference in looks.
Ride is nice a smooth / quiet. Have not driven more then 15 miles, and the tires are brand new and greasy. Will give it a week or so before I test out traction.
Either...
365 days and 17,234 miles later. I am still happy.

Let me explain. Every day, I drive to work 31 miles, and drive home 31 miles. 62 miles a day of a mix of 4 lane highway and 2 lane local roads. But it is always in traffic, with other people going to and from work.
When we get home, we take my wifes Explorer Sport everywhere we go. Usually...
265/35R20 is the stock size, but there are not many options and what there is happens to be way expensive.
275/35R20 has 3x the options to choose from and is about $50 a tire cheaper. Will this tire fit ok on the stock 20 inch foundry wheels?
I made the mistake and watched a few youtube about carbon buildup on valves for direct injected engines. They were pretty convincing that as long as your injectors were clean, you should have no problem with carbon build up.
Also, most premium fuels have detergents to keep you clean.

Bought on Wednesday. You gave free shipping. I was pleasantly surprised to see my order get delivered in 3 days on a saturday no less. I was able to install my new G-Track front brace and rear sub frame brace a week early.
Had a very quick private transaction with "Doctor Fishtail" this week. I was in the market for a Strut Tower Brace and asked in a thread. 2 people responded.
Doctor Fishtail was the first to respond. We agreed on a price, I paypalled him, he shipped. 2 days later, my 20inch Foundry car...
I just finished washing the car and it looked awesome as always. Nice sunny Saturday afternoon in winter.
Stopped to fill up the tank. While pumping a man and his wife stopped by to say how beautiful my car was and looked it up and down. I said thanks and thought nothing of it.
Went into...
I try and rotate my tires front to back every 5,xxx miles. Just did them Saturday at 15,xxxx. Still have 2/32 before i hit the wear mark. I thought they would be far worse.
Thankfully we have had a mild winter so far and it has not been too cold. But my plan is to continue to nurse these...
this is more of an interior review then anything. It was a business meeting, and the driver never went above 3k rpm or 55 mph.
This is my 1st time even sitting in a newer camaro. comapred to the 15 mustang, or any of my 13-15 fords, the materials just felt cheap and very "plasticky".
I...
this is juts a randum recap from saturday......
Took my 14 yo duaghter to her volleyball game. We were way early, and there was an open parking lot with zero place to curb or hit a light pole.
So i asked if she wanted to have some fun, and she was like...your dumb dad.
i did 1 or 2 quick...
