Not outlawed in South Carolina. I see an occasional squatted one with NC tags. I've wondered why the police would not crack down on vehicles that run those LED bars that light up the road like stadium lights.

I drive a 1990 Miata and it is a TINY car compared to a truck, and I've always had thoughts about when a lifted truck will roll over me because they can't see over the hood. I've looked at my rear view mirror and the front axles are visible in the mirror.

I live in a state where trucks are allowed to squat. Meaning the front suspension is jacked up a foot or more, and the rear lowered. Most times the driver's seat is moved all the way forward and the backrest tilted forward quite a bit, and if there is a seat height adjustment, the seat is raised...

Does that mean NuFinish is obsolete?

Wonder if he is a Gopher's fan.

You will have to standardize that process of wear to make it meaningful. N=8000 drivers have 8000 different ways of driving the car. You would have to use 8000 engines and subject them to the same exact RPM/ambient temp/time on. Very expensive. I'll bet you can get meaningful info with 100...

I have access to a lift and compressed air. I would leave the oil drain unplugged for an hour and actually use compressed air wrapped in a clean large bulky cloth and stuff the air hose at the oil fill opening and let the compressed air blow out whatever oil is left stagnant. Makes a big mess...

I tried looking for an objective study where UV light transmission was measured on plastic film that are treated with different "UV protection" products. There isn't any "SPF" # or rating on them unfortunately. I am as usual overthinking this

I recently bought a 1990 Miata with the original convertible top. I am about to replace it with an OEM from Robbins and this one will have a plastic rear window. What is the best UV protection product for the plastic window? This car will be garaged. I did not want to get the glass window option...

I have an old vacuum bottle that I decided to use again. It has been a while since I've used it. I've had it since the 80's. It is made in Tennessee. I always preheat or prechill the bottle before filling it with the corresponding fluid. Today I poured boiling water and emptied it and quickly...

Is it advisable to NOT wax the car before PPF application?

I did some touch up paint on a small rock chip and of course the cross section of this looks like a tiny speed hump covering a small pothole. It now looks like a scab on a healing zit with heaped up edges. The paint has long dried and I want to smoothen out this "blob". Years gone by, a website...

How painful is it to apply PPF on your own? Assuming you have a second set of hands to help you out. BTW I have a steady supply of medical grade/surgical gloves that fit like second skin, and none of that vinyl glove box from car parts stores.

If a vehicle is used exclusively on the equator, does it need antifreeze? Wouldn't distilled water be better than any mixture of distilled water w coolant?

Where in my post did I say I don't want anybody else?

Did I say I want to cull the herd?

It is too crowded on Earth.

Have you seen how fast those Ebike food delivery services go in Manhattan? They keep up with traffic and look like they go about 30 MPH.

How do you get fuel dilution to account for the change in viscosity? Is it driving habits like being heavier on the accelerator? Prolonged city driving?
