I may be wrong, but I believe if you press the VSA button (regardless of drive mode : Comfort, Sport, +R, or Individual) this may lessen the active rear brake vectoring and thus save your rear brakes a bit ; Good for just basic commuting if that’s the case.

Design patents are hard to protect as there’s some level of subjectivity. Someone could basically take your design, make a slight change to it, and potentially (arguably) not infringe on your patent. If you’re talking about a utility patent, where your method of making something or your product...

I’m not sure how you feel about it either. Lol. Are you disappointed or something?

I think your assumption is correct. The TPMS measures tire pressures based on rotational speed. So if you’re simply maintaining the same pressures, to account for the drop in environmental temps for fall/winter, then the system doesn’t see a difference.

This exactly. Had my FL5 thru 3 midwest winters. Last winter was the longest and coldest during the time I owned it. I never needed tire cradles and didn’t get flat spots. My garage isn’t climate controlled and the concrete gets cold. Inflated the tires to ~45 psi and left it on a battery tender...

Welcome @antwon412 ! I’ll be keen to read your thoughts on the Type R versus your Porsche and any other fun cars you’ve owned. @ModJPB I’m not so sure they increase in value, unless they’re practically undriven museum pieces. It’s the same thing as the S2000. People say they’ve gone up in...

Yeah, I can see how supply chain has likely disrupted matters in more recent months. It sounds like they’ve had the car prior to stuff in the Middle East hitting the fan tho. On top of that, with all the stupid tariff crap going on with the US, there’s just absolutely NO WAY that getting the...

What the hell? I would go there to be sure the car is still there and hasn’t been damaged further. Something doesn’t smell right and they’re not being transparent about it. Why else would they drag this out? How has it been taken care of this whole time? Sitting outside rotting in the elements...

I don’t understand why people are giving you a hard time about this. There are definitely situations where the old school, hand brake, hill hold method would be helpful. And it does take some getting used to not having a hand brake and instead relying on the car to do it you.

The fan will kick on more frequently when sitting or barely moving because the engine needs airflow (for cooling and combustion). When driving, air naturally flows in, so the fan isn’t needed. Your fan is just doing its job.

Hold up. You’re taking offense to the person who gave you the best advice? He pointed you to the info you needed. No sugar coating. This is “mean?” But the guy who said “This may be the least useful ad here” you took zero offense to…then you lash out at Chilly for also questioning what you...

If anything, they should’ve stopped making Sonic Gray and kept Red. SG is an interesting color, but has been around since the previous gen. It’s so overused now.

Agree. It’s so subtle, just like the FK8 facelift. I can understand liking one better than the other, but folks are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Yeah. It’s difficult to not be at least a little bit paranoid these days, which adds another layer of unnecessary stress (on top of “normal” stress). Cars that are more vulnerable to theft than ever + high levels of societal discontent (especially in cities) = more damaged and stolen cars. It’s...

Yep. Of course, it really depends on the city and one’s proximity to sketchy areas.
