    I need tires, and from searching on here, I guess I'm going to look for 205/50/16s...? Anyone gotta any more input on these tires and/or where to get a good deal in Baltimore?

    Brake Question?

    My P5 has about 35,000 miles on it. I've had my brake light randomly coming on lately, so I took it to the dealership. Verdict: I need new pads and machined rotors all around. Question 1: at least 27,000 of the 35,000 are highway miles. Should I need my rotors machined at this point...

    Parking brake stuck - cold - not just the light

    It does it randomly, under breaking, and at night while it sits the brake locks and won't let go in the AM. I always leave it in gear, but proper parking requires a manual to be left in gear with the parking brake applied. I've seen at least two cars roll and hit something after someone...

    P5 Bike Rack Solution?

    Nope, the rack is great. The back tire will touch the wing when you open the back door - either don't open it, or open is slowly and let it nudge the tire. I like it because it isn't sticking up real high in the air and I can use the factory racks. And it's cheap!

    Parking brake stuck - cold - not just the light

    Okay, I'm going to try and be brief: I've had a problem this winter with the parking brake sticking when it's cold - the colder, the more likely it'll stick. Usually doesn't stick unless it gets below 30 at night, but it has stuck at 38 degrees before. I went to Colorado around Christmas...

    P5 Bike Rack Solution?

    1. The weight of it made the car sit a little low in the back - i didn't like it. 2. The bikes swung around no matter what I did to secure them - especially on unpaved roads. 3. The bikes inevitably touched each other - over long periods of time this will scrape paint off frames I just didn't...

    P5 Bike Rack Solution?

    Just as an aside... it looks as if you could remove the plate, and then attach straight to either Thule or Yakima bars if you ever got a new car that didn't have a factory rack... Probably would need another piece of the bracket where the plate would be, but I am sure you could order this from...

    P5 Bike Rack Solution?

    Ok... after having spent $150 for a hitch, nonrefundable, and having to eat it because i hated the hitch rack... i went with this... I didn't want a yakima/thule because of the way the rack chews up the door sills and leaves marks on the roof where the feet touch... www.rockymounts.com. This...

    Ran From Cops?!!!

    I am glad akhilleus says he won't do it again. I have no problem with people driving fast, just do not do it in in traffic or neighborhoods. I see people driving too fast in traffic and neighborhoods all the time. Actually, I have testified against several people in court. Once against a...

    Ran From Cops?!!!

    First: they are cracking down in N.J. because ass-wads like you either kill people, or if not kill people, crash real bad and are driving the insurance rates through the roof. Second: I hope they catch up with you. You know how many people have cell phones these days? I am sure someone...
