Something you lift up.

Found a set of mudflaps in the garage yesterday, so I'm out.

Yes and no. I sure wouldn't mind following you, but roundabouts tend to exist in places I'd rather not be. As in towns and cities.

When the inner shoulders wear out first it simply proves that you drive far too slowly through the curves. Don't you have any roundabouts nearby where you could even the wear out?

Oh, just wait until the new Charger comes out with its mighty 6-banger.

I can pretty much guarantee that I could register a 392 or HC here, and that's why I stated it. That doesn't mean others should take it for granted in their home state. I simply try to be realistic instead of overly pessimistic. You might be having a bad week, but I don't think it's because of...

And therein lies the problem. Even at 17%, I don't have enough money to make it worthwhile. Now if you go after my girlfriend, who does have money, I'd be right back in jail. Not because of something you did, but because you tried. Then again, realistically she's more than capable of taking...

Brings back memories of ordering coffee at a fast food place, then wolf down all the condiments on the table for "dinner". The cute waitress seemed to get used to it and refilled the condiments for me. About a year later, now in norther California, raiding the landlord's onion and tomato garden...

Sorry, but it's too late to change my order to a 392 or Hellcat, and I have absolutely no intentions to move back to California, so I can't (or won't) do my due diligence and prove anything one way or the other. Besides, a dealership - and especially a respected one - will not suggest doing...

If you weren't such a perv I could PM you one.

Any road in Kansas?

It's what I call whatever chemicals that people punish their tires' sidewalls with.

She certainly could if she wanted to, but she doesn't and looks perfectly fine without any. And speaking of tire goop, I've always wondered what happens to the brakes when people spray wheel cleaners and tire goop on the rotors. Are the pads somehow impervious to those chemicals?

That's why I separated California from the other states and mentioned having to jump through hoops there. Having registered some odd things there I still think it's doable, but if someone on You tube says it's not, who am I to argue such absolute authority?

I'm surely in a minority, as usual, but when I see a vehicle with tire goop on its tires, the last thing that comes to mind is "that looks good". Instead I think "poor tires...why?!?". Of course, I tend to prioritize function over looks.

Used to buy nothing but used vehicles, starting in '10 it's been ordered ones by a large margin. In some cases it was a "want it now" that prevented ordering, other times they couldn't be. For example, a '22 Challenger GT AWD in Hellraisin couldn't be ordered in '24. Found one with 178 miles on...

For me, photos are enough to decide on whether to buy or not. So far I haven't been disappointed. If anything, usually pleasantly surprised instead. Heck, my latest purchase I hadn't even seen photos of, and after being told I'd get $5K off if taking it "as is" I hooked up the trailer and drove...

That Continental has a good built in defense against tire goop is a big plus in my mind. I don't know of a single tire brand that doesn't recommend against slathering their sidewalls with something. And understandably so since the chemicals they've included in the rubber to help it stay...

A tire durometer is fairly cheap, so you could check the tread hardness and decide that way, but it's fairly obvious when driving if the tires have become harder. With one exception, I can't even remember the last set of tires I replaced because of wear. They get replaced due to age, even...

These days you really can let your fingers do the walking. Doesn't much matter where the car is, and you can filter options, colors, etc. to keep the list of potential buys shorter. From there it's only a matter of calling and agreeing on a price, the rest can be handled via email and FedEx...
