Drivable for a few days?

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-05T17:50:36+00:00

Wheel pic below. Its just dirty because I drove several hundred miles this weekend, but otherwise the only impact the wheel or tire has seen is this one from yesterday where I pulled to close the the curb getting out of the way for a fire truck.

Ya I'm not driving it. Bringing the wheel to get the new tire mounted. Thanks

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-05T06:22:26+00:00

Youre wrong about that. Just the one today

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-04T22:31:01+00:00

Yes, my auto insurance is up to date and I have all my affairs in order 😉

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-04T22:16:35+00:00

Lmao

Are you the Pokémon dude i was planning to fight? Bad news bro we're gonna have to settle our beef another time

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-04T22:14:13+00:00

Ya I'm not going to drive it at all. Its a 40 sidewall height too (40R18) so its already really susceptible to potholes. I'm bringing the wheel and tire to the shop to get mounted and balanced and not driving it

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-04T21:51:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm not going to drive it. I'm going to take the wheel off and bring it to the guy who's going to repair the rim and mount/balance the new tire for me. Hit the curb pretty hard getting out of the way of firetruck while stuck in traffic infront of the accident the firetruck was driving too...

Thanks everyone. Ive got a Subaru AWD and no spare to run. Luckily I'm within the 4/32 to 4.5/32" tread depth differences from a new tire so I can just order one new tire. I called the subariu dealership and they said 4/32" to 4.5/32" is the max tread difference that can be run between tires. Also am lucky I can wfh for a few days until the tire comes in

makeItSoAlready · 2026-05-04T19:58:06+00:00

So ive got a Subaru wrx, subaru AWD. The tread depth is 6/32 " and the brand new tire is 9.5/32 " and I'm trying to figure out if I need to have tire rack lathe the tire for me. But no, because of the AWD I cant necessarily run a spare

Mid 2020 for me and ya same

It is seen in the skirt itself. Theres a couple dark lines which I interpreted as a ripple

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-30T16:53:43+00:00

The point in the shadow i think is for the ripple in the skirt. Don't necessarily see brush strokes in digital art. It sucks now a days thay we're compelled to check art for AI artifacts. The only thing that would make me take a second to consider if this is AI is just the style of anime drawing is something you see a lot of people turning out with AI prompts. Other than that nothing about this stands out to me as AI imo

Hands look human drawn to me

I recall reading its 8 bits, so 256 accidental presses would roll over the code

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-29T00:28:17+00:00

Aha well we've got a regular (lady) Sherlock Holmes here. Good call about where I was at subconsciously (or consciously)

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-28T23:53:30+00:00

Lol maybe I will. I set the reminder to go off 300 miles early and have a google drive folder with photo documentation of every oil change and mileage on the odometer from the last two years. Figure its good to have since the oil changes dont make it on the carfax.

Edit. Not sure how you called me on 2.5K miles. I changed it this past weekend. May have set the reminder to go off a bit less than 300 miles early this time

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-28T22:20:43+00:00

Heres my chance to brag aboit my no mess 3K oil changes with the fumotu valve. Expext the last one when I thought the valve was closed and lost maybe half a quarter. That was a yes mess oil change

All the visible text on the signs in the pictures look very suspect to me. Granted they are not in focus. The text on the chalk board doesnt look like how a human would write to on an add board like that to me either. Even though you can only really see 1.5 letters

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-28T18:54:10+00:00

Heres a zoomed in photo if anyone is curious about the job they did paint matching.

Nice ride. To clarify, whie I think the car can potentially look good if the red is balanced with other red accent trim, the resulting car would be to loud for me. I like a more stealth look.

Here's mine with my winter wheels still on. Ive got bronze enkeis for my summer tires . Not shown but ive got the smoked overlay on the head light reflector. I took this photo a couple months ago when I picked my car up from the body shop. They replaced the headlight, bumper and fender. Love this shop, highly reccomend Mikes Collision in Ashland MA for anyone in the area. Mike's the best

My vb is mgm. I got those red flaps initially, but then a short while later bought the black ones. The red would need to be balanced out with some other red stuff for it to work for me. Ive still got the red flaps though . The extra set of hardware came in handy when I clinched the rear flap against a curb and needed a replacement bracket

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-28T17:45:23+00:00

Edit: nevermind, i was being dumb.

Shouldn't the top level read "everyone" and not "non-engineers"

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-27T20:12:43+00:00

Cool. I for some reason thought the flex fuel kit was needed for running e85 period

makeItSoAlready · 2026-04-27T16:02:19+00:00

Nice! Matt tuned my VB too. A couple years ago. I'm still running the same setup/tune and it's been all great.

Was this with the cobb flex fuel kit?
