Nice, it actually looks kinda good, donut and all, glossy black on red (clearly the best color for that car).
I guess Hyundai will see a run on its parts and start producing them overtime once Teslarati wake up to this. No wait, only 1 in 1000 will. Same with bmw spares, I seem to be one of three guys in the country putting them together. It was four before JST went over to the other side. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

Sorry ZBB, I forgot to respond to your question about the trunk.
Mine closes very easily. If I drop it from the right height it closes on its own. JST, how does that wheel deal with the 3mm lip? Is it just lug centric? |

Honestly I didn't pay that close attention, but it fits fine, mates flush to the hub.

Ship sank with 4 of the last 911 GT2 RSs en route to South America(?) for delivery (among a bunch of regular other Porsches, Audis, etc). Porsche is going to make at least one more GT2 RS to replace at least one of the sunk cars. Part of a poorly translated Porsche letter to customer waiting for delivery: Quote:

So I picked my car back up over a week ago. Trunk no longer leaks. The body shop also did the other things. The only thing that bugs me is they didn't replace the trunk liner -- looking in the driver's-side storage area in the trunk, I can see wrinkles on the felt-like material Tesla uses. Oh well.
I also complained to the insurance company that I hadn't receive reimbursement for the rental car receipts submitted ~6 weeks ago. They responded with an oddball amount based on the very first rental car (which was paid for by my insurance). I re-submitted the receipts today. Ugh. Still no word on the diminished value claim (although I have an appraisal that cost $50 as a start -- want to see what they offer first).

So… The racist CA vanity plate thread got me thinking about OH special/vanity plates.
Apparently, both of these vanity/special plates are available in OH: Edit: Both are available on the Ohio "Superman" Plate. Too bad they don't have an Iron Man plate

Ha ha.
I also thought about the friends of coal one, but I don't think anyone has a good enough sense of humor about such things to make it worthwhile. A couple of quick Model 3 updates: --I ended up getting a key fob for mine, and am happy to be able to unlock remotely again, without screwing around with the app. --I got the 5 percent power increase over the air. Petty sure I can't feel the difference. |
