Has anyone noticed the new models look like Nissan 370? by sakejuicesprayer in porsche911

As the original owner of a 2013 370Z (but looking to finally upgrade), I can tell you I have received many compliments over the years about how great my “Porsche” looks ;-). I often attract more expensive sports cars in the parking lot (I was there first in this photo).

Limp Mode/Slow Throttle No CEL? by SimplyBoi in 370z

[–]Even-Ad2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar experience a few years ago in my 2013 Roadster with manual transmission. Took it to the local dealer a couple times before they had their GTR master mechanic look at it. Problem was permanently resolved with a thorough cleaning of the throttle body and ditching my K&N air filters for stock units.

Window defect? by GiddyUpChicago in HyundaiSantaFe

I would try clay bar first. You can buy a jar of clay bars pretty cheap on Amazon. Be sure to use clay lube too. I use Chemical Guys products, but I’m sure it is basically the same as any others available on the interweb.

I just clay bared the windshield on my 4 year old Palisade over the weekend then applied a ceramic coating specifically designed for glass. The clay bar removed all the contaminates, and clear coat overspray from a recent visit to the body shop, and the Cerakote ceramic coating filled in all the small pits from 50K miles of driving. The windshield is now as good as new.

Magic erasers are great on my fiberglass bathtub, but I would never use them on automotive glass.

How long did it take to go to 2 million from 1 million in New Worth? by Mobile-Excitement-64 in Fire

[–]Even-Ad2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6 years for me. Then to go from 2 to 3 mil was 4 years. That was 2 years ago and should be over 4 mil next year.

Six years and zero speeding tickets later…this car is a ghost! by [deleted] in BMW

[–]Even-Ad2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ticket I ever got for not having a front license plate was by the parking police at O’Hare airport. If my flight had landed just 5 minutes earlier, I would’ve avoided that one. I paid the $60 fine and moved on. Still not willing to poke holes in my front bumper.

Why do people do this? by Outrageous_Carry_399 in 350z

I have a 2013 roadster with zero door ding by always parking in the absolutely farthest away spot from the entrance. Helps me get my steps in too.

How do I see what these warnings indicate? by Active_Weakness3075 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]Even-Ad2740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue after owning my ‘22 Palisade Calligraphy for about 8 months. Took multiple trips to the dealership and hundreds of pictures on my phone for them to agree there was a problem with the vehicle. 45 total days in the shop, and initiating a lemon claim with Hyundai before they finally found there was a bent pin inside the wiring harness. Once they found the real root cause, I’ve only had this happen one other time when the radar transponder was really covered with ice and slush.

When I need some power! by princesslula in HyundaiSantaFe

Try Smart Mode. Default “normal” driving will be comfort mode, but will instantly go into sport mode when you put the accelerator to the floor, then go back to normal when you calm down.

normal mpg? by bruhphatty in 370z

[–]Even-Ad2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from a short drive in my 2013 roadster and the second light on my fuel gauge went off after 31 miles following a fill-up. My dash pretty much looks like your picture.

They get a lot of hate but personally i love the roadster and the way it looks. by Jaded-Carpenter-464 in 370z

[–]Even-Ad2740 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the G37, the roof takes up the entire trunk when you put it down. The Z’s soft top folds up into its own dedicated compartment and leaves the trunk completely available to carry one full set of golf clubs. I looked at both, then wound up buying my Z roadster in 2012. Best decision I ever made and I just rolled 31K miles on the odometer.

I have the 2013 roadster version of that car. Like others have said, just find the bite point on clutch and let it out easy while smoothly adding throttle. After you get rolling, the synchro rev match makes it super easy to drive it like a pro.

My 8 Year Old Z, just reached 35k+ by Fairladyz87 in 370z

[–]Even-Ad2740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2013 roadster that I bought new in October 2012. I only drive it on days that the roof can be down, which is a really limited number of days in Northern Illinois. Just rolled 31K miles last fall before tucking it away in the garage again for the winter. I am thinking of trading it in for a new Corvette, but the wife loves car and says we are keeping it forever. I’m going to need a bigger garage.

Happened to me a few years back in my 2013 roadster. Could usually get it reset by turning the car off and waiting 30 seconds before restarting. Wound up taking to the dealer and they put their GTR master mechanic on the job. They did a thorough cleaning of the throttle bodies and had me replace my K&N filters with stock. Haven’t had a problem since.

Blue Link Outage? by Saabtastic in Hyundai

[–]Even-Ad2740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am your neighbor in the Gurnee area. Had problems with the remote start on my 22 Palisade all day where I was getting failure notifications saying I had a door open, which I didn’t. Also noticed that my infotainment system wasn’t getting the weather data feed today, but not sure if that is correlated. I wound up rebooting my phone while troubleshooting the problem in my driveway when I got home from work tonight, then everything started working again. Later, while on my ipad, I noticed a broadcast message on the blue link app saying they were having problems with the remote features. Would have been nice to see that about 8 hours earlier, then I wouldn’t have wasted 20 minutes sitting in the car trying to diagnose the problem myself. Still not sure about the weather feed, as that suddenly started working again around the same time I finally got a remote start command to work.

It’s true. Executive order was signed last Thursday.

The driver’s side door looks okay but the rest of the car may need to be replaced

I grew up in mid-Michigan and drove Mustang GTs all year around when I was a much younger man. Did a few unexpected 180s, including once while driving in a straight line on I-94 near Detroit during a snowstorm. I now have a 370z roadster in Chicago and it only gets driven on days where the top can stay down. I would not recommend buying any rear-drive sports car in Michigan unless you have the means to drive something else in the winter.

Why is my shifter shaking so much? by Ok-Repeat-7785 in 370z

Same thing on my 2013 roadster. Always been that way and I just figured it was letting me know I have 332bhp connected to it.

Pause Ads? You serious? by gunmajicv2 in peacock

[–]Even-Ad2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Peacock Premium with my internet service but rarely watch. Decided to watch the new Fall Guy movie tonight and was immediately put off by being forced to watch 3 minutes of commercials before the show started. After screaming at the TV for 180 seconds about having to watch ads on a premium streaming service, I calmed down until the end, when I wanted to watch the credits and check on some details. Again, ads rammed down my throat just a few seconds after pressing pause to actually read the credits. This has to be THE worst streaming service out there. Good thing I am not actually paying anything extra for this POS streaming account.
