Picked up an elderly neighbor at his wife's nursing home, he said drive around back, we need to look at the tires on a used car one of the aide's recently purchased at a local Acura dealer. We couldn't find it, he couldn't remember the make or color. We went back in and found the aide and she walked us out to the car. She said people told her that one of the tires was bad. And the dealer put a current inspection sticker on it!

I looked at it, they rotated the fronts to back so the worn tires were on the back of this Hyundai AWD SUV. They were worn but still had maybe 5-15k left before hitting the markers, Told her they were legal. She pointed out uneven wear, I said that could be due to poor alignment, poor driving habits, or maybe it was wrecked and poorly repaired. I asked if she saw the carfax. Blank stare.

I asked, if she brought someone who knows cars with her to the dealership, she responded, "I brought my wife".

I told her I wouldn't worry about it, just don't go racing around corners, especially in the rain, she responded, "That's what I do!".

I said if you are really worried take it to Sullivan Tire chain tire place and ask them (they are very good except when the tech took my GTO for a "test drive" and ran it off the road). Blank stare.

She was no longer interested in anything I had to say. My wife says I made her feel stupid.

My elderly neighbor suggested she tell the dealer she is unhappy. I told him that is a good suggestion, but you know they won't do crap, other than offer a "deal" where they will overcharge her for new tires. He knew...

In a 40 zone today approaching a 25 zone in a small town with vicious cops. V1 is screaming, all I see ahead is a mail truck about 50y past the 25 sign. V1 pointed to the mail truck the entire time, screaming. WTF! Is the PO conspiring with local cops!?!?!?

USPS, or 3rd party truck?

Either way, I wouldn't expect something radar based on a truck like that??

It was white and boxy like a mail truck and had USPS logos on it.

Is your V1 set to L or A? And is it upgraded or the latest version of it?

Always set to L. This is a G1. I have a G2 also and it is the same as the G1 when you have a real signal, the G2 just filters out the false alarms. After using a V1 for 15 years you become fluent in its language and know when to pay attention.

So I'm not the only one getting some odd alerts lately.

Thankfully (I think), all this data goes to Biden, so it'll be forgotten before it even gets there.

i went for a ride this morning to have breakfast
The restaurant I go is also a convenience store since its in the country
They sell gas, candy, food, ice cream, etc
Recently they started selling homemade deep fried sugar donuts
4 police officers were in there for breakfast
No word of a lie
On the way out they each bought a bag of donuts
I said to them as they ate the donuts outside at a picnic table "I wish I had my phone to take a picture"

They just laughed & said everyone likes donuts not just the police LOL

Needs a wash and wax/buff, washed it a few months ago. Just been sitting. Took it to get fuel after pulling both pumps and replacing fuel level sensor on jet pump. Fuel level issue resolved

Those headlight covers don’t fit the hellcat bezels or any other car with the air inlet headlights, I had to modify them to have them fit and they look great (in my opinion). I’m not sure how much of a different having the headlight intake blocked actually makes. I might cut a hole on both and install headlight intake rings in them. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Hmm.

Factory supplies good lighting, owner puts dark covers over them. Factory supplies nice air intake, owner covers it with the light diminishing covers.

Explanation: Owner has a black car - in Florida - and it has affected him.

Final thought: The covers keeps baby pythons from entering the air intake.

Do you modify or customize any of your cars?

I have, and I do. But lately it's really only been to improve performance, specifically handling.

Have sold the body, frame, axles, engine, and transmission, that was supposed to be my new Jeep. There's just not enough time these days to get something like a ground up build done.

But I have done one such build (what I consider an actual build), plus sectioned, chopped, and lowered, one vehicle.
Other than that, it's mostly been engine swaps etc.
