Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

The Accord has a weird issue. When turning sharply, the outside tire will make a creaking noise. Anyone have a clue what could cause this?

Was just in a torrential downpour in the Miata for the first time since I fixed the window leak. The window didn't leak. So its for sure good. 

 

Whats interessting, I guess because it's cold and the vinyl must have "pores" or something. Is I got misted for a few seconds when the rain started, and then after it was completely fine. It's like the water sealed the "pores" or something lol

 

but yeah my top doesn't have any holes and is actually in pretty good shape despite being 14 years old (thank you old man for garaging it) so that's all I can think of it. 

 

Dont think ive ever been in a torrential downpour in 36F weather before... In some places at that temp it's supposed to be snowing lol. Here I think it's so humid that it just rains

jesus it gets cold when it rains over there? over here, when it rains, it still stays like 50 or so degrees. in winterspeak, that's actually warm.

No it doesn't necessarily get cold when it rains... It was already cold because a front moved through and it just so happened to be storming today

Meanwhile there is just a faint hint that my car is parked outside. It is buried under at least a foot of worthless, pointless, hideous, awful fucking snow..
