The concept is nice, but the ones I had were loud and gave an unpleasant harsh ride. The sidewalls are stiff compared to normal tires. I won’t use them.

Thank God for that. I call them run crap tires. My AMG came with those and ditched them 2 weeks into ownership. I tried to sell them, but could not give them away.

Hey, I never told anyone to buy a Camry, but that’s how you save a shit load of money compared to buying a Blackwing (new or used). I didn’t buy my 5BW in 2022 to “save” money when there were no used ones around. If I wanted to save money I wouldn’t have CF seats and CCBs either (on my CamryWing?).

I think that would be a Camry.

Different strokes. When I find a car I like I tend to keep it for 10-15 years. Have my Jeep for 11 years. I don’t care what comes along, not my concern. When the flying car becomes available at a reasonable cost I might go that route. Until then, 5BW all the way till the bitter end.

Question answers itself.

Most true statement. It’s only people that have something to lose that need to obey the laws. The rest of society pays the price, both financially and in quality of life.

You would be correct. I have not done it, but do know there is a nut (10mm?) that holds the fin to the roof.

It’s called warming the tires up.

He’s not lying, I have a video of @DCV going out on a casual drive for a coffee.

Unless they’re adding 2 cylinders I’m not interested. -Can never make a V6 sound like a V8. I don’t care about fast, it’s all about the total driving experience.

Rattles and squeaks are one of the most difficult things for a dealer to handle. It’s a “soft” issue and there must be some $ limit/hours limit after which they just give up. I’ve have varying experiences. Good experience at Audi dealer, but Mercedes dealer was useless and a waste of time. On...

Passengers can hitch hike per the agreement signed before they boarded. Have to have priorities straight.

I guess I fall in between, but I don’t wonder at all. I’m largely in the weekend category and drive it in the normal way it was intended (rubber left behind every drive). My OLM hits 3-5% in around 2500 miles and less than one year and then I change the oil.

Love that show, the best automotive show. Stig is the man!

Lubrication is a sore subject for some people. There is a lot of information and research out there, but it doesn’t make for the most stimulating reading. Not sure evolve is the right word. As a whole I think the human race has become dumber in the last 30 years.

FTFY

And it’s really easy to search the PDF. 😎 I didn’t want to say what I really think, but on a Jeep forum such an oil question would result in harsh mockery. But, we don’t do that here because we are so much more sophisticated.

Any topic remotely related to oil always generates the most friction on any automotive forum. Don’t ask people to read the manual, they would sooner get prostrate surgery than do that.

I wouldn’t read into it too much unless these guys are grabbing your ass. And in that case it’s not the car. Pro tip, girls like Jeeps.
