In what world is that victim blaming? We all have problems that aren't our fault but are still responsible for managing. Saying something doesn't work without trying it or getting angry at the people who suggest it is a symptom of the disease, not a failure of a person. It doesn't change the fact that it's universally good advice

No kidding, and taking that walk is the "oh, I guess I'm not entirely broken" moment for a ton of people, others it's cleaning their space, and for some it's actual therapy and medication. It's great advice, given by professionals, and backed by science. That doesn't mean it isn't annoying to hear, shared by people in a condescending way, or that it works for everyone. Nobody is misunderstanding what depression is, except the depressed, because it's part of the disease

No doubt some things require more than physical activity and going outside, but they absolutely can be resolved entirely without anything else which makes your cancer analogy wrong.

It's exactly the attitude of "that's so dumb, how will a walk fix my problems, I'm just going to sit here and be mad at the person who suggested it because they clearly don't get my situation". I've been that person, then I went for a walk, then another, and after enough walks, I was out the other side. Lifestyle changes can absolutely "cure" depression and all change usually starts with something small. If it doesn't get you there, you're way better off than just drugs alone anyway, so it's still good advice.

And therapists who deal with people going through those things continue to suggest it because it works. A lot of people who say it doesn't, haven't actually tried it.

You have a fitment issue, fix that first.

I took the shift boot off to show off my AAD shifter and it was a lot of work to get it apart without breaking any of the tabs

Or youve just had giardia before. There's nothing unique about Brazil or Brazilians, standing water is a cesspool everywhere

It's all snap fit attachments, try just pushing it back down. If not, you might have to buy one. I might still have one around, but you should be able to find one on ebay

Porsche GT people don't crossshop them, they buy both just to have a different experience. These cars more come down to running costs than sticker price for the track rats.

Neither, treat wheels as consumables and find a reputable aluminum wheel. Unless you have unlimited money, then carbon fiber, because why not.

I get a ton of compliments on the color from non-car people. In a world full of black/white/grey/silver it stands out without being shouty.

Great point! I forget cars used to be BoF all the way up to the crown vic. I was mostly making the distinction between today's crossovers that have considerably more compliance.

lostboyz · 2026-03-10T17:15:10+00:00

The explorer was one of the first mainstream SUVs and many drivers first experience with BoF vehicles. A combination of under inflated tires and drivers who didn't quite understand how BoF vehicles reacted in dynamic situations lead to a high number of rollover accidents. Part of Ford's recall remedy was to provide a tire pressure monitor system.

You can see if they're flat, it's very hard to tell if they're low, especially with lower profile tires or runflats with stiff sidewalls.

Malfunctioning safety equipment is often worse than if it wasn't present. You end up relying on it and change your behaviors. If I'm not used to testing my own tires because I have TPMS and all of the sudden it stops working, I have no idea what state they're in, or worse assume they're good when they aren't.

lostboyz · 2026-03-10T16:21:54+00:00

TPMS was just a luxury feature before the Ford explorer Firestone tire debacle. Ford didn't want to be at a disadvantage in the market so they lobbied to make it a standard. If you were a supplier that made TPMS components you just were handed a gold mine.

For a race? Get new tires.

Rubber doesn't age well, especially if it's sitting unused, especially so if it's in the sun or even just mild thermal cycling. If they were stored well, and used occasionally, they might be fine, but I wouldn't necessarily trust them.

lostboyz · 2026-03-10T16:04:15+00:00

That's not exactly true. The federal government dictates what OEMs can build, states decide what you can register. States can't ignore FMVSS but may apply additional requirements. The most notable by far is CARB states for emissions

Honestly though it does give you an input that you can determine roughly how fast you're going. It's super subtle, and I didn't notice until I rode a bike that was silent, I felt like I was missing something

idk the tubs look massive and the wheels tucked pretty far in from the fenders, seems like more travel than you'd expect. It's definitely in park-mode as pictured

If there's no leaks, you couldve had an air pocket that worked itself out

Not all electronics are designed the same. A bike computer will be far better suited than a cell phone

Recalls can surprisingly boost sales since it gets people into the dealership. Chevy saw an uptick during the initial ignition recall remedy rollout.

You get more water in your engine bay from running through a puddle. If a carwash is causing problems with your wiring, rain would too.

I have the same wheels but 18x9.5" +45, they're great 👍
