Alligator jambalaya??

Far from a good photo, but the first one I came across. Like the other vehicles in it, the 911 is my girlfriend's (the Redeye is obviously camera shy and missing). Naturally she does like it, and she liked her "old" one, too. But Ironically, the lowly Cayman is still her favorite. Although the...

Funny thing is, the CS dealers claim that all the competition/market is in Denver. But do try Classic Motors (Richfield, UT) for your next painless ordering/buying process.

You're just using the wrong dealer(s), that's all. I order mine from a great little dealership in Utah, which you may be closer to than I am. Now that I stopped and thought about it, in the past 18 months or so we've also bought (ordered) a 911 Turbo S, a Redeye, and a Trackhawk from three...

That's actually exactly what happened, Stormtrooper.

Raise the hole instead?

And that's from someone who drives on the wrong side of the road, think than warm beer is just fine, and is used to positive ground electrical systems?!?

Indeed. Even if they don't come apart, they sure won't grip like they're supposed to when that old.

As a non Demon owner, can I put down zero?

Did you at least take the filter out of the box before installing it, Hickster?

One reason I started using only the right two lanes, basically pretending that I was always pulling a trailer, was to make the commute more interesting. Had to try foreseeing who was going to exit, and what a merging vehicle would do. That it then turned out to also be faster was a welcome...

But, but...aftermarket equals upgrade, doesn't it? It has to. Whatever, it's a free country, so I can spend money on things that aren't really upgrades if I feel like it.

I did lane split in L.A. when I had Harleys, but did it differently than most. Since the shaving, newspaper reading, applying makeup, etc. was most common in the left lanes, I hung out with the tractor trailers to the right instead. If given the opportunity to know that I was there, I could...

One problem with K&N filters is that people tend to clean them too frequently. They need to be a bit dirty to work well. "Well" still being a relative term.

There's two of them! That guy (gal?) that turned into the tractor trailer for no obvious reason reminded me of when a car did exactly that to my Pete. Except that he (almost) passed me on the shoulder.

Okay, so if they indeed do age now, why on earth wouldn't I get the freshest tires possible? I seriously doubt that I'll wear them out even on the 'Cat in six years, unless my driving style changes to lots of full throttle starts from a dead stop, or I start driving it a lot more. Speed rating...

That cracked me up. So tires don't age when in a warehouse? It's just like that the oil doesn't go bad on the dealer's lot. Then, once someone buys their 'Cat, it has to be changed every six months.

Okay, so most major manufacturers recommend about six years max, up to 10 with commercial tires, yet it has nothing to do with age? Yes, there's a lot of confusion about tires, but now you have me completely confused.

I would agree, if we were discussing bias ply tires. Delamination is usually the issue with aging radials, and is unfortunately not easily detectable by a visual inspection. Nexen tires, OE on Ram DRWs for example, are known to have come apart within 20,000 miles, or in under a year. No...

Today I did not wash my Challenger. But I had it washed, which is the first time since I bought it. Yes, the bird in the grille is gone now, by the way.
