    Tire Pressure

    Look on the side of the tires - the max. inflation pressure is listed there. Do NOT go any higher than that. You will also want to note the date code. Do not use any tires older than 6 years from the date code, no matter how much tread is left. This is also a safety issue. Date code is...

    Adjustable exhaust

    I know a guy who can make an automated one for you but it won't be cheap. He specializes in German sports cars. For "cut-outs" you can ones that will operate electrically with a switch on the dash - you may lose some hp tho.

He came very close to being put on the ground with a lot of pain. I told him that when I came in to pick up the vehicle which I...

    2020 due?

    I'd like to get a decent brown interior (esp. if it doesn't cost thousands of $$) right now, the GT-R and lower trims only have Black, and "Shows Dirt" options

    Dealer says no transmission dipstick on 2018 CX5

    shadnoz - that reminds me: where did you buy your CX5, and did you get a good price? I am in Eugene, and the single dealer here seems to have no interest in selling cars at all. I could either drive north to Salem, or south to (Medford?)

    2020 CR-V Hybrid

    Hybrids offer long range - a very useful factor in a vehicle used in the intermountain West, or interior Australia, etc. I do not have statistics on battery replacement requirements - do you? I do have a friend with a 1999 Prius, and she had to replace the battery -- after 20 years. I suspect...
