37 MPG at 70 MPH & probably worlds quieter and comfier than a Fit.

Jelly.

Ken, are you snow free down there yet?

I got two more CP035 & drove the S2000 yesterday.

 

Nice find on the wheels! What are your plans for them Mike410b? Restoring them?

 

To be honest, just mounting them as is. I don't mind how rough they are, as long as they're structurally sound & look good in the sun (which these appear to be & do), I'll leave them. To be honest, them being kind of beat up is kind of fun to look at for me.

 

shinjari waterless rocks!

 

mike nice picts. yah done with snow but the last snow brought a crap load of salt which i am waiting for rain to wash away. then finally spring!!

today driving some ford hybrid sedan. slow and not that mpg friendly considering how powerless it is. and the center stack is a pos. all the buttons are clustered together looking like the back side of a gym shoe. wtf. can tell ford really don’t give a fak about sedans and their coupes. and the climate control sucks interior is subpar.

 

Focus or Fusion? I hated the interior in my old Fiesta & the Focus had a similar setup.

 

i think fusion going by the size. i don’t care for sedans so didn’t even check .. lol. oh yah and that wiper is such a pos too how the arms move so clumsily. yikes.

 

alright heading back to the airport this am and heading back to the office. hope to finish up work early and taking the stinky aka uber home.

have a good tuesday everyone!

 

Since you mentioned wipers...

I noticed yesterday that, in heavy rain, our Golf drags the water back onto the windshield on the drivers side. It drags it back into the left side of the drivers vision.

I had another car that did this. I think it has something to do with the flatness at the edges of the windshield. If it's round enough at the ends, the water runs off. If flatter, it can get dragged back and it seems that is what is happening.

 

hummmm i don’t have this issue on the GTI. have you tried different blades?

alright returned the rubber band gas and brake pedal fusion hybrid pos garbage. i found this car to be one of the worst cars i’ve driven in the last couple of yrs. not only does it have no power the thing just isn’t comfy to be in. driving position and cabin noise was fine but i’ve driven hyundai’s that were so much better than this.

waiting for my flight..

 

while driving the pos i saw a MK7 GTI and i was like dogdamn i want to get out of this shithole of a car and then insult to injury saw a Golf-R a few moments later. lol . haha

 

Have you ever been in a new Passat? I'd say they also rank as a shithole of a car.

It's almost like the Accord and Camry so dominate that market that the others don't even try.

 

It's a rainy day here at the old folks home.

shinjari- I'm really liking the ONR wash. I used it last week & am pleased with the results. I also used Optimum Opti-Seal. I let it cure for a day & them laid a coat of Sonax detailer. So easy to use, I'm sold.



Ken- Be careful driving those appliance cars you could bored enough to fall asleep at the wheel.

Mike- Nice wheels, I like their patina.

GAFIT- I love a gravel road, but not in a nice car. My wipers work fine on my GTI, but it is a MK6. I use Bocsh AreoTwin blades.

 

no i’ve not been in a passat yet. agreed that they don’t care. i mean it was a mess

 

ash- thanks for the warning cause i did have to crack open the window to wake myself up at times. lol

 

Yeah thats one thing I dont like about automatic trans haha. I get bored and sleepy

ASH - I'll have to look into that Opti-seal. My cars bead water like your photo. Plus all 3 cars are due for their spring detail. Wash, light clay (still pretty darn smooth), compound the miata (civic/elantra dont need), polish all 3 cars, liquid wax. Maybe that opti-seal?

May be getting a deal on that Milwaukee M18 mid-torque (600 ft/lbs) impact I was looking at. A co-worker had ordered the one I was looking at. Well, when it arrived....he got TWO! His invoice said QTY 1, but the exterior of the box said QTY 2. Not sure if he's worried about karma but we will see haha. They only charged him for (1) as well...so we will see. =)

Been looking at new glasses for work since my vision benefits renew every year. I'm an Oakley addict. Have (3) sets of sunglasses and the computer glasses I use at work. My prescription just barely qualifies me to use my benefits lol. Before getting my computer specific glasses, my eyes would be exhausted by the end of the day. Now they are never tired after work which is great.

 

shinjari keep it! lol

so i’m back at the office and had some beef veggie soup for lunch going for some burritos when i get home tonight.

 

dogdamn.. 600ft/lbs from a 18v. that’s incredible torque.

 

ford says the mustang is a hit in china.

niihow yawz!!

lol. didn’t know they had such bad taste..

 

The newest Mustang and Camaro are better than almost any of their foreign counterparts in nearly every way if not every way.

Same can be said for the Corvette, but it's doing battle in a whole other, much higher league.
