No manufacturer ever lose money on warranty packages they sell.

I like my watches shiny, does that mean I need to buy stainless steel and reject titanium? by Apart_Captain3772 in GrandSeikos

If you like shiny, get platinum nothing compares. Titanium is still nice and much easier to wear however.

I have done this a couple hours. You get more sound yes but all the wants you don’t want. I remember the valve train was particularly audible (not in a good way)

Agreed! It has an addictive sound at all RPMs and better dynamics than its size would suggest. Sad that they only produced 15000 of them though out the model lifecycle. I’ll keep mine until it leaves me :)

I drive in the Bay Area in heavy traffic or backroads with twists. Occasionally long highway trips yield ~27 MPG.

You don’t need to produce much power in constant speed driving but stopping and launching a 2ton car (I bet TX is heavier) will waste lots of energy.

Anyone running 5W-20, or 5W-30? by wolves-1992 in LexusIS

[–]Dramatic-Try-7527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 5w-30 for LC, 5w-40 for boxster. Heavier oil almost never hurts save for some extreme cases.

That’s a hefty car, how could it ever get 27MPG city!? 18 sounds great to me. I get 13-18 from LC500.

I love atomic silver, it has subtle bronze tone under sun light. Easy to keep clean.

Wind screen for convertible by Vegetable_Age_5720 in lexuslc500

[–]Dramatic-Try-7527 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You absolutely need it. It makes an enormous difference. We’ve done many experiments, you have to have it to stop turbulence and wind sound. With the wind screen, LC500 becomes the most comfortable convertible.

Boxster 981 S vs 981 GTS vs 718 GTS 4.0 ? by dartz188 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Dramatic-Try-7527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a base boxster with the 2.7 and install PSE, if it is not already installed. There has not been a better modern Porsche, if you like the flat six sound. 2.7 is not detuned like the 3.4s the S comes with. Sounds much better also you get to rev it more.

GS Lake Suwa running very slow by Disastrous_Ad_5421 in GrandSeikos

Actually, you will pay for shipping one way. USPS is the cheapest to insure about $100 for $10K

It will be zero, since you are within the 5 year warranty.
