I'm not sure if it was something in the air, or the fact that I'm maybe driving faster today, but everyone on the road today seemed to be completely bereft of driving skill. They weren't just slow, they seemed to not be able to pay attention, or keep their car in the lanes. Did anyone else experience this today (Saturday afternoon), or was it just me? I was on the 401 west from Pickering to Etobicoke, on Bloor St near between Islington and Ossington, and on the entire Gardner and DVP. There was no more traffic than there usually is on Saturday afternoon, and the weather was fine. Thoughts?
lol, you're not the only one, 2 cars today when i was driving home on the dvp seemed like they were drunk drivers, an suv almost scraped me, had to break to let it cut in front and then i was stuck behind a corolla (of course) that was drivng btween two lanes, was scared to try and pass without a full lane between us -_-"
my guess is...holidays starting early and people are becoming more careless??? .....that doesn't really make any sense but meh
I think everyone is busy with shopping and getting stuff ready for the holidays. Means they are that much more focused on what they are going to do when they arrive and that much less on what they are doing getting there.
How do you guys keep up with detailing in the winter time? I haven't washed my car since the first snowfall and my car is FILTHY. Do you guys still hand wash in the winter or do you take it to a touchless? Would a touchless mess up a clear bra?
I take it to the coin op car wash. If the car is really dirty, I'll give it a full wash with soap, etc. But usually I just use the high pressure water to rinse off all the grime since it will probably get dirty on my way home.Quote:

I've always been using 87 octane gas and one time decided to fill it up with 91 to see the difference. nothing noticiable, it actually felt like it had less pull to it and kindof delayed response... Im not sure why but i guess mz3 is timed for 87 not 91 so 91 just wont preform as good as 87. thats my guess..
if you guys are too lazy to wash your cars via toonie wash, buy a petro car wash pass. its 170$ and you get a car wash everyday for 90 days. i split one with my bro so its like 90 each.
not to mention all the old sunoco eco washes are now petro washes so the touchless car washess are a dime-a-dozen. the sunoco/new petro washes are the best imo.
Properly applied, a clear bra will not be affected by touchless, the jets spray over it, but don't spray at it for any extended period of time. Same goes for the power wash at coin-op... spray at it, but don't spray for any longer than it needs to be.Quote:

A while back I was looking for a way to store my loose change, since the ashtray is gone.

Little spice tins sold in CT for $1.99 each, made of metal with a clear plastic circular top and a magnetic circle glued to the bottom which you can peel off with no sticky residue. Fits perfectly in the centre console out of sight.
so after some thought, i've decided i'm going to sell my mint condition oem 2010 ms3 rims with dunlop rubber has a little dirt on the rubber but probably warn less than 1% from factory, the winters were put on before i picked up the car. anyone care to make me an offer?
i'll be posting a thread in the trading section with pictures
What rims are you thinking of getting?
Tenzo dc 6 v1 bronze or if I'm going to throw on some cf for the car then it'll be the gunmetalQuote:

Popped in sure torq r3 rear motor mount yesterday. Took longer to get the car on the jack stands than to put it in. Extra vibration is minimal. Just a small tickle in the seat idle, and only a miniscule increase in noise. Shifting is definitely smoother, but the part is more for piece of mind than anything else.
welcome dude...you sound like you'll have fun at the track with us in 2011!Quote:

Have fun when you melt your pistons from pre-ignition.Quote:
