I prefer Safety Seal plugs and a decent compressor. Or I carry a full size spare. Breaking down a tire with goop in it is miserable.

Would you believe that they didn't have power steering? Or that it definitely wasn't needed? Not even after putting wider 10-inch diameter Mini wheels on them, to be able to fit wider tires. Maybe the best part was that once lowered (almost a necessity with the swing axle rear) they would...

I'm drooling over the Fiat 500s. It's time for a reality check, and 18-1/2 hp should do it.

Yeah, thanks a lot. I do NOT need any more cars, dammit.

Oh, oh, I'm in trouble. First and foremost, I don't have A/C. Also, the garage doesn't get that hot. I guess I could start the Hellcat once a day and get it up to 75 in the summer that way. But what do I do in the winter?? Leave it running, or let it suffer at 60 degrees?

See, yet another reason not to get into the car and needlessly start it. Even the seats will be happier.

Yes, that oil eventually drains down is a fact. But so is that cold starts create wear (up to 80% if memory serves me), and that not getting the engine up to temp creates other problems. Which is why I prefer to not start mine, but prime the oiling system by cranking the engine before starting...

The drawbacks with cold starting unfortunately aren't just opinions. And for that initial start in the spring, there's a simple procedure for cranking the engine without it starting, which solves the oil pressure/film issue.

Agree. Since the engine doesn't know or care how long it's been sitting, I can't see any reason to cold start it any more than necessary. Heck, I couldn't be that cruel even to a rental car.

If I needed/wanted wet traction, I'd look at the Continental DW. At least the first generation performed very well on a wet test track. Based on that experience I had them on one small and quick sports car, and a VW Golf R. Not that either one was ever driven in rain.

I've been working on making CF members aware of what might happen if they do, including an administrator or two. Not that I know if it'll help, but I have to try. That I brought up what happened with the Hellcat forum just may have planted a seed.

Steelsoldiers and CumminsForum for me. As far as looks and familiarity goes, I really like CumminsForum, even though it's lacking a bit. Having only "Like" and "Thanks" to choose from would be my main gripe. I'm still getting used to HellcatForum, but to say that it's an improvement over what...

You had to pay a Special Up Charge?

Maybe this photo would've been more appropriate?

ChargerChallenger, you gave me no option for "Yes I own Rams". I have had six Rams since '10, currently a '14 1500 (my all weather car) and a '17 3500 cab and chassis (my tow vehicle). Also, my girlfriend has had three since '12, obviously not counting a '95 Dodge dually. She recently got a '19...

Dang, that's at least two of us that don't want one, Speedy! Now I'm realizing that it's far easier to buy one (well, it is easy) than to convince some people that I do not want to buy one.

I've had very good results with PulseTech and BatteryMINDer units. There are other good ones out there, but not many with desulfation.

Maybe so, but this is the first time I've seen someone with such a fragile ego (or whatever it is that triggers it) so rabidly promote Demons, while also trying to slam non owners.

I've never cared for the newer Chargers, or any other cop car for that matter. Well, that's what the are to me. And those tacked on "dually fenders" on a Challenger ruins its clean looks in my mind, not to mention that they completely destroy any stealth factor. And then I saw photos of a...

Hmm. Maybe the banks should've invested in Demons instead? Or not.
