Doesn't mean that those of us that are unelectrified won't be next.

You're shitting me, right? Whoda thunk there would be heat and humidity (or alligators) in Florida.

I never understood why they build the tracks on mountaintops in Florida.

So now we only need two more wise men?

Except in my case the river is much closer than any creeks.

Part of the story of getting the RePete from SoCal that I may not have mentioned; Had left here early Wednesday and on Sunday evening I stopped in Flagstaff, AZ, on the way home. After having parked for the night and made the bed in the sleeper I thought "Hmm, they usually have food at truck...

Would you believe that I drove 450 miles to a place that does? Of course, they also have stoplights and other crap there - and not just the Charger.

I finally saw one...on a dealer lot. They can't seem to get rid of it. Now I just hope my car didn't get infected by being parked next to it.

Except for the first few gear sets I've bought, they've all come with instructions for the break-in. And they differ a little between manufacturers, so I've taken the most cautious approach by using the most miles, lowest speeds, most heat cycles, etc., basically creating my own formula for...

So? Have you ever read the gear break-in procedures recommended by gear manufacturers and larger resellers? As it happens, today I took the first 20-mile drive (at lower speeds) to get the first of several work hardening cycles done in my new Durango. That'll be followed by four or five more...

Does anybody have properly broken in gear set that ended up making noise?

I'd think that getting the nose down would be far more important, so the rear end could stay as is.

It'd be so much easier to lower the car 0.5 or 0.75", and then inflate the tires a tad more. At least I think lower drag and less rolling resistance would help more than an extra 3.74 hp.

Hey 2nd, I have an idea. Not necessarily a good one, but it's the thought that counts, right? Instead of chasing horsepower (isn't the Redeye only 4 mph faster than a 707?) how about tinkering with aero mods instead? If you're allowed to use wheel covers, for example, that could be a cheap...

Reese and Draw-Tite make (made?) some useful stuff.

Or maybe the hood lifts partially because of all the air being forced into the engine compartment through the lower intake?

Hey, it wasn't you that started calling it 5/10 on the tread meter.

That should be 2 or 3/32". Otherwise a new tire would have a 1" tread depth and a half worn one still have 1/2" of tread left.

Nowhere near as dumb as the firing orders they use on Furds.

Not pointing fingers here, but that someone's initials just might be BULL.
