KIA Stinger Coffee House.

"Those are nice caliper covers, I was going to get some for mine."

I held back tears and laughs and said 'those are brembos. It's a stinger after all.'

His face needed to be captured as he was dumbfounded a kia had better brakes than his brand new Beemer.

Good times.

Is that dangerous or a danger of breaking equipment?

Both to be honest.....air bag failure would result in catastrophic suspension failure , which in turn threatens the chance of accident.......I didn't budge over 60 unless climbing a hill....

And how many hours/miles did you do that for?

 

[rocket23]

100 miles ,under 2 hours..not a straight road on the way...........

I was first in line at the local (and famous) donut shop this morning...celebrating my departure from sleep apnea........ I lost the weight and didn't use the machine.......got my med card back (for cdl license) 2 years...now I can retire with dignity......Truckers need a physical every 2 years....and the doctors that are accepted by the government to do the physicals ensnare the drivers into a web of deceit and despair under the guise of a condition that doesn't exist. But they withhold the card (which means you don't drive) until you comply and stay compliant to a machine that basically blows humidified air into your mouth/nose. With a Micro chip of course that knows if the machine is working properly , I.E. a ''good seal'' with your face and such.....not to mention the distilled water you must buy and the hose and tank to clean........trust me They don't/won't tell you about losing weight as an alternative therapy for there ''sleep apnea.. screened by a process that everyone starts off with if you are male and over 42...2 strikes a 17 inch neck or a body mass index of 33 or higher....that will get you a ''sleep study'' which everyone fails regardless of how you sleep.......glad it's over.

Gobble Gobble…..Happy Thanksgiving to all my Stinger Wingers south of the 49th. Hopefully you’re all enjoying a beautiful meal surrounded by the people you hold dearest. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Cheers

 

[rocket23]

Meal yes people. ? Up for debate. So far so good. Things got icy between me an the in laws ever since they found out I leaned republican. They’re so pro Biden yet complain about the high prices. Me? Just kept eating the turkey and nodding.

 

[rocket23]

well it's time for the all season (base tires/wheels) to go on the stinger.....I won't park it under a tarp this year...but will selectively drive it when there won't be any salt spray,ie; dry roads only this winter.that and the xmass lights will be put up.
I change over the tires myself...jack up the car at the mid point and swap each side at a time.

 

[MerlintheMad]

This will be the latest that I've switched to my winter wheels and tires. Here it is the first day of meteorological winter and I'm still on my PS4S. As I woke up this morning, I thought that maybe I'd call today and get an appointment to go in and do the swap. Like Denver, we haven't seen a single flake yet. (that's a slight exaggeration: last week, I forget the day, we counted a few flakes of snow slowly dropping past the window)

i will be disappointed if we get another mild winter. i hope it snows a lot this year.

In the mountains, yes; in the Valley(s), I like rain and above freezing.

i guess i like it all, just not mild winters here; it makes the inversion which is very depressing.
