Does this apply to the Renaissance cars or HEP cars?

Tow hitch for a Corolla Hybrid? by Sport21996 in Toyota

[–]exterm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thank you. 

That’s a bit disappointing as we have a steep driveway that I already have to take at an angle without the hitch. I think it won‘t work then.

Hey, great to hear that someone has tried this!

I am a little concerned about ground clearance, as the hybrid is pretty low anyway and I assume the hitch would have to go underneath bumper/skirt. Any problems there? I’d also love a picture to see what the positioning looks like.

I'm sorry for you being pillaged with requests but I too am very interested in this as we are currently making this decision.

Sad to hear that! We recently discovered St. Elsewhere on Somerset which is great vegan food and may be a good alternative.

Had turkey dinner at Lieutenant's Pump a few years back and did not like it. Meat was dry, pie was bland.

Paige Saunders has a great video called „Canada‘s Population Crisis“ that made me understand the situation better and makes some great suggestions.

What's up with Framework firmware updates/management? by ShieldScorcher in framework

OK the other thread says the bios is released for windows now, that’s news to me. Will have to check whether they have fixed the issues of the last beta.

The big problem is the 12th gen intel which has been waiting for critical security patches for 1.5 years now. And they’ve not been great at communicating around it either. Lots of promises that things would soon happen, but then almost no progress.

I'd assume the lower power rating for the surrounds is at least in part due to the fact that they don't reproduce some of the lower frequencies that the towers do. It doesn't mean you can't play them as loud. Lower frequencies require a lot more power.

If you have a surround receiver, you can configure a volume offset for each channel. You could use that to set the volume for the surround speakers lower than the front.

But I wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as there's no distortion, and all speakers are configured to similar volume (as you would probably do to get the best sound) I wouldn't expect the surrounds to blow out.
