I really want to know how these will perform in the heat after being on for some years, or even one summer. I want some, but I don't want to deal with a mess after a year if they don't stay on!
Somehow I got lucky and mine doesn't have it either. I thought I read somewhere that it was a parts availability issue at one point. Whatever it was, I'm eternally grateful for it!
I received a set of pp takeoffs with Pirelli tires just today from this eBay seller, and everything was nearly perfect. There was one little spot on one of the wheels that honestly looked more like a factory defect than damage. All in all, for the price, excellent buy, and super fast shipping as...
Question: I understand (and remember from when I lived in Vegas) that roads in hot climates can be very slick when it rains, since the oil (?) in the asphalt rises to the surface because of the heat. Could that also be an issue even when it's dry in cooler temps? Because the temps are so high at...
Ack. And here I am trying to decide whether to run those tires year-round in Georgia... and the average temps are a bit cooler here and we get more rainy days than you do in Vegas (my old stomping grounds!). I won't say I've never floored at high speeds (gotta pass on two lane roads somehow)...
I drove manuals for many years (and learned to drive on a manual Mustang in 1982!), but when I bought my 2007, I was living in Germany and experiencing the stop and go traffic for miles and miles on the Autobahn, so I ordered an automatic and never went back. I almost regret the automatic in my...
Okay, but doesn't everyone just turn it off the moment they get into the car anyway? Seems like a waste of resources to bother with on a car like this.
Interesting. I've never used the magnetic charging function on any of my devices, so I really have no idea how it works in practice. So if I...
I got a pouch in mine, but compared to the zippered, book-sized neoprene type pouch my 2007 had, this new one is garbage. I'll leave it in the glove box, but I'll likely never touch it or use it for anything. Ford could have given nothing instead of said pouch on the 2024, and I'd have lost...
Interesting! I was just thinking the other day how weird this row of buttons is, with how it feels when you press a button, because it feels like you're pressing the entire faceplate in. Now I understand why! What a bizarre construction. I suppose it was cheaper to do it this way rather than...
I think it's just mocking him... because it knows he doesn't get to drive it. :wink:
(I really would let him drive it, but he's afraid he'd hurt it somehow and then I'd have to kill him, and go to jail... it would be a whole thing... and no one wants that...)
Mine does it when I'm nowhere near it with the keys. My husband will be out in the garage doing whatever he does, and my car is just talking to him the whole time. Keys are 40 feet away, inside the house.
Ah. Well... I'm an idiot or blind, or just a blind idiot... But thank you for taking that picture and posting it up. That button is RIGHT THERE on my steering wheel and I've never seen it, I swear.
Hopefully, I've now had my idiot moment of the day taken care of, since you can't have more than...
But is there any way to turn it completely OFF? I don't even want alerts, and can't find a way to just turn the whole damn system off.
You have a button on the steering wheel for that? What does it look like?

It's hard to get a picture, since it's just not super obvious unless you're driving the car. Mostly, I drive alone, so not exactly possible to get a picture in this situation! I'll check and see if there's anything on the glass, though I doubt it.
Just had the windshield and back glass replaced on my nearly new car (to see why, go here). The back glass has moderate to severe distortion throughout that seems like it's related to the defroster wires. The original glass did not have this, either before or after tinting (and I drove it a lot...
