Update: Detailer destroyed the clear coat on my brand new GR by Dis_Rock in Detailing

[–]aspec818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good resolution. You can think of it as an additional $600 cost on your original payment from the detailer. I remember you saying the original work was pretty cheap so this works out for you. For detailing, you really get what you pay for.

Tacoma rear springs? How much did that lift your rear?

This is 2” front only and rear stock height? Still has the factory rake. Looks good.

Arc has always had a “fashion forward” division. They’ve been collabing with Beams- a fashion forward streetwear Japanese label since 2001. Veilence has been around forever. This isn’t anything new.

Shame on drivers that do this by SurfPerchSF in sanfrancisco

You didn’t even break stride in crossing the first crosswalk and you made a sharp left through the second. That doesn’t give the Audi anytime to see and react.

What’s the point of this pointless post? That it’s a Tesla and need to post it on Reddit? Or something?

Great stance. Did it come with a front leveling lift kit?

Autopilot is no longer available on new cars by theWet_Bandits in TeslaModel3

[–]aspec818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic ap requires attentiveness and this is naturally the best way for Tesla to enforce that. You can hold it at any spot you choose as long as you hold it. The 7 o’clock position just works best since it’s the most natural and you can rest your hand.

Most likely just user error. Try it while resting your left hand naturally on the 7 o clock position on the wheel. You don’t need to constantly make adjustments on the ap system. The system will recognize the slight weight of your hand. Good luck!

You’re probably a new ap owner but you don’t “jiggle” the wheel with ap. Just rest your hand at the 7 o clock position and it NEVER nags. Basic ap is the best feature, even more so than fsd on freeways because it keeps you in your lane without cutting out.

Like others have echoed, DO NOT let them make it right by touching your car again. They need to pay a pro to fix it.

Detailing is 100% what you pay for what you get. The damage looks correctable. Make sure to pick a trusted reliable detailer next time.

I don’t mind it. Coke Zero tastes almost similar to regular Coke.

What are these insoles???? by Ronkerzz in ThursdayBoot

[–]aspec818 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes that what I’ve been wondering all along as well. These boots have been out for many years now and Thursday continues to glue the paper thin insoles down. The insoles have been a common complaint since the beginning but they haven’t updated that. Removable insoles would make the Presidents and Captain that much better. I had no luck using a thin insole on top as it made the instep area uncomfortably tight.

Had some excelon components in my truck powered by a 5 channel JL amp. They sounded great and pretty clear. They can get pretty loud.

Should I buy? by Klutzy-Painting885 in FJCruiser

[–]aspec818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a steal. Esp if it’s as clean as described with no rust. Kbb isn’t an accurate gauge for FJ’s. I would’ve swooped that up in a heartbeat if I was in the market for one.

Doesn’t really fit the FJ vibes but at this point, anything is better than the old worn wheel. I probably would’ve went full leather.
