    Old Timers Unite

    Why in God's name would a software engineer tie all functionality of the AC system to knowing how hot or cold it is outside? I know I'm too hot sitting in this damn car so let me turn on the AC you stupid 🤬 computer...

    The LR4 Makes Snow Days Fun

    Channeling my inner @mgreenspan... Isn't that kinda the point when you get a truckish vehicle? It's like getting a Ferrari and lamenting that it drives sports-car-ish 😄 My MIL has had every generation of MDX. The early ones felt SUV-ish. The new one is like driving a fat Accord. I get...

    ignition coil lifespan in 4.4

    I was hesitant to reply to this because I don't want to jinx myself but... I'm almost at 210k and have never touched the ignition stuff in 80k miles. I may remember something in Carfax about something being done by the previous owner at 100K, but I can't remember for sure.

    I didn't realize recaro is going out of business, nor how big a deal a seat is due to crash tests.

    D1 or D2 - First Car?

    Given that he's from Tennessee, I don't think rust is a real big issue. With that in mind... If you address basic old vehicle stuff like the brakes and cooling, I don't really think these are all that high in maintenance just for someone to putz around to high school & hangouts for a couple...

    D1 or D2 - First Car?

    I sold my gold D2 to my neighbor for his daughter to drive Junior and Senior year of high school. It got her thru that and I didn't hear about any horrible stories.

    2006 supercharged RR

    The 06 is kind of the Frankenstein of a BMW and Jag Rover, right? Have you noticed any quirkiness because of that or is it not really ever an issue?

    Icon tools

    They were all out... Only had one 1/4-in drive left. Those stupid gold things must be pretty popular 😆 I got the regular one. The 90 teeth is smooth but I don't like that it doesn't have a release button.

    I actually left my 3/8 at the junkyard a couple months ago. At 40% off I might have to buy that beautiful nonsense 😆

    Icon tools

    I could have swore I made a post about harbor freight's Icon line a while ago but I can't find it. Side note: I actually interviewed for a lube job position at Lexus and one of their lead techs said he uses some icon stuff and it's good. Anyway, I thought this was interesting...

    I will say, tinting your windows in a place like SoCal seems more sensible rather than ostentatious 😄

    D1 lookalike in Nepal

    That looks like it was conceived in someone's garage versus a major manufacturing plant 😄
