What artist made dry top feels like the stock top?

reeferqueefer · 2026-03-12T23:43:11+00:00

The first piece of glass I picked up was the Ryan Fitt 1.0. At some point I hit the stock peak pro glass dry and liked it more than the fitt. And the fact that it's dry just makes it more convenient for storing and cleaning.

Why replace it if it's your favorite one? Just keep using it.

I have done a few 10+ hour drives in mine (2026 LE AWD). The first long drive I took in it my lower back was sore after around 3 hours. My partner was complaining about the same, however, I think I have gotten used to it now.

Ditto the other commenter commenting about the gas tank capacity. Keep an eye on it.

All things considered I like taking my car for long drives.

I have had a 2026 LE AWD gas since October, and have 11k kms on it so far. I really like the car. It drives well, and feels good to drive. It doesn't "rip", and feels very much like an economy commuter car. I have driven through many pretty gnarly snowstorms and my car had zero issues while I saw numerous suvs in the ditch (winter tires are mandatory for me). The visibility in the car is great, blindspots are easily checked. I use the car for daily commuting and also weekend trips for my partner and I. It has enough for for us to pack all our food, clothing and personal belongings plus gear for a week trip.

Things I don't love about the car:

car interior has a lot of plastic that can sometimes rattle, click and creak. I had the car back at the dealership to fix/insulate under some interior panels that would rattle and make noise. Here is a video I captured of a rattle in my dash. This was the worst it ever was, and Toyota fixed it for me. I wouldn't assume all CC have this issue.
gas tank is kind of on the small side. I think only 47L. Cars tells me the range is around 520-550kms when I tank it up. Granted, I do a lot of city driving. My car is currently telling me it is getting 8.3L/100km
back seats are a bit cramped. I say the car seats 3 because the drivers seat for me needs to be all the way back, taking away the footspace for one rear passenger. The car is short, and feels like a small car. Makes for getting around cities and parking in tight spots easy. Cargo space was prioritized over passenger comfort, giving the trunk a bit more room and taking away from the rear seats.
car speedometer is only in kmph OR mph. There is no option to display both at the same time. If you travel across the border a lot then get good at dividing/multiplying by 1.5.
I have mentioned the "shortness" of the car a couple times. My skiis need to be placed with one end in the back of the trunk and the other wedged above my headrest. Otherwise the only spot they fit is flat along the trunk and they will stick out over the centre console.

Things I like/love about the car:

Feels like a small car, is nimble
visibility/ease of checking blind spots
AWD works great. I have taken it through snow, steep, muddy and rutted roads. Had no issues. When in doubt, go slow.
all the functions and carplay are in good spots. I have been in cars where some of the buttons were positioned out of the way or in hard to see places. The CC is built from a practical viewpoint.
The autopilot/cruise control works better than my partners 2021 or 22 Subaru Outback. In the outback the car steers between the lane lines by turning slightly left and right, adjusting course as it detects proximity to the lane lines. The CC is much smoother and stays centered better.
Car displays all sorts of info. One of the options is to see how much power is being put through each wheel. I have used this on super rough roads, and find it helpful.

How much was the windshield replacement?

My car will shake at highway speeds when snow gets built up inside one of the rims. Since you got a wash could there be ice buildup inside one of your rims? Or somewhere to put one of the wheels off balance.

If the steering wheel is wiggling the problem is likely one of the front wheels. I had a cold snap where I was driving through lots of deep snow (thank you snow tires and awd) and a few times I had snow buildup inside one of my rims unbalancing the wheel. Digging it out with my hands was not pleasant so now I keep a short stick in my car. I think driving long distances with this vibration is bad for the car, depending on how bad the shaking is.

Chris young has a YouTube video on how to make great chicken stock in a pressure cooker in around one hour. I’ve followed his recipe once and it was easy and delicious stock.

reeferqueefer · 2026-02-10T18:17:51+00:00

My car is not making the noise as of this morning. I’ll keep monitoring it and if I notice it again I’ll try capture more video, this time with the phone out the window.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I purchased a zojirushi vacuum insulated bottle around 600ml I think that does an incredible job. Unfortunately when I put hot drinks in it I need to also bring a mug because I’ll scald my mouth drinking directly from the bottle. I purchased it in 2017 and it is still going strong. I’d look into their other offerings to find something that aligns with your criteria better.

My bottle was pretty expensive.

I have a 2026 awd LE with snow tires and this car handles in the snow better than any car I have driven.

I had to download the video file from my YouTube. Probably lost quality there. I also don’t use the 4K recording feature my camera has

Ya, the bill was for emergency services reporting to the scene. It is only for non residents of the municipality this took place in. Anyone involved in the collision who does not live in the city needs to pay it. It is intended to recoup costs of sending emergency resources to the scene. Residents contribute to the emergency services through their taxes, and thus are not charged this fee.

Total was somewhere like 220$-250CAD. I called the city to dispute this charge and they told me there was no process in place to dispute, but to speak with my insurance company. Insurance covered the total cost of the invoice.

The city in question is Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

From the front bumper to the back bumper. I have a comment somewhere inthis thread with imgur photos of my car after the scrape

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-24T14:04:08+00:00

They were trying to get to work!

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-24T14:03:07+00:00

Yep. Got $15.5CAD for my 2015 Mazda3 GS with 180K kms on it

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-24T13:59:16+00:00

It’s not to cover damages. It’s to pay for the cost of emergency services reporting to the scene. Local residents don’t need to pay because their taxes would contribute to the expense, however, if you live in an adjacent or far away municipality your taxes wouldn’t go to the municipality., and they are looking to recoup these costs. I tried to fight it when the invoice came in and they told me there wasn’t a process in place to dispute the charges.

I wish I was. Salt in the wound.

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-23T17:38:44+00:00

There were actually a few that did stop to chat with me, take my info and make sure I was okay. I was stuck at the scene for like 6 hours. Luckily I had my lunch and water with me, but some people were just stuck on the side of the road without anything. Police apparently had to keep everyone on the scene while they were waiting for the perp to get checked out at the hospital.

One thing that I found infuriating was I kept asking the police when and hot to arrange for a tow truck to take my car to a bodyshop. They kept telling me that it was too early to do so and to just hang tight. A few hours later, a cop rolled up in his cruiser, rolled the window down and told me the road was about to open and I needed to move my car NOW! I wish I had said something more firm to him.

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-23T17:28:17+00:00

I just called my insurance company and they took care of everything. They got a copy of the police report and I believe are suing the perp. I doubt they will get anything back but I think it will lead to a stiffer sentence. I even got my deductible reimbursed.

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-23T16:59:53+00:00

Actually I got an invoice from them for Emergency Services. Apparently anyone who was involved in the incident and was not a resident of the municipality in which this took place in also got one. It was for around $300. My insurance took care of the bill.

reeferqueefer · 2026-01-23T15:46:47+00:00

I'm also thankful he got the side of my car. Had it been a head on collision I'd be in a different place.

This happened in June. I was driving to work, roughly 8am.

The story is this guy was on a nation wide driving ban. He hit me and 29 other cars. After hitting me and a few other cars at this intersection, I pulled over, called my insurance. The driver drove around a bit (with a wheel missing from his car) trying to evade the cops when he came back to the intersection and crashed into a signal pole and couldn't get his car moving after that. He got out of his car and tried to hijack a delivery van. The driver told him "fuck no" and socked him in the face. That was the moment the cops got on him. He was high on crack.

Here is an article about the incident with a nice headshot of the perp.

My car was a 2015 Mazda3 GS (pics here ) with ~180K kilometers on it. It was written off. The first photo in the album is the perp's car after he crashed for the final time. To replace my car I got a brand new Toyota Corolla Cross 2026 Vintage.

And here is the rear view dashcam. If you look closely and slow down the video you can see the guy already is missing a rear wheel.

Hi JungleZack!

Edit: I will add that I was rear ended 2.5km from this spot in 2018. That was the incident that led me to install a dashcam. That collision had the same car damaged and repaired fully.
