What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Bigbikes]

How did this work out for you? Is there significant glare?

Was cleaning the other day and came across a screen protector I bought for an old tablet some 7 years ago (asus t100tam). It's a 10.1" 16:9 format so more square than rectangular than the 10.25" in the car. I had to trim about 3" off the bottom to make it fit. Notice the reflection in the garage from the passenger seat to some extent. Haven't driven the car yet with it.

Hopefully it works out. Using a bright light I already see a few very thin scratches on the display. Don't use finger nails or wear rings when touching it. I too would prefer a matte protector, but already have this one on hand. It's a dry static cling type so no worries of residue if I have to remove it.

No glare at all, to me it seems to brighten-sharpen image...I'm not a fan of matt screens

Who is Matt, and what’s wrong with them?

"the rent is too damn high"

 

[JSolo]

I thought that’s what the motorbike is for… Inclement weather.

 

[JSolo]

Exactly... There's rain gear for the bike and heated gear for the cold.

They did say 50% chance of rain in the afternoon. Was hoping to be back before it started, but missed by about an hour. I needed to get a feel for the car in the rain anyway. Tires were great on the highway. Was pacing a camper in the hammer lane really hauling for a good 30+ miles.

Ohhhh. Yeah. Intakes today. JB4 and plugs tomorrow.

I wish it was only $3.99 in California, premium (which is only 91 octane) is more like $4.99.

I've said that I'm not a car guy lots of times: this evening proved it again. I was pulling into Costco gas and saw a HCR lined up for the next pump to my right: as you can see, the camera focused on the rain drops and not the outside world (annoying propensity of digital age cameras): so, I hit the windshield washer, and nothing came out!? WTH!? I have a road trip first thing TOMORROW, an all-dayer. Why NOW??? After getting gas I called Jerry Seiner and told them my predicament and that I could be there in twenty minutes: "Collin" said that he'd hold a mechanic back for me, and he did. He also saw the disconnected washer fluid hose: it had literally been right under my nose, but I'd never noticed the hose before, much less the nipple that was exposed to full view: in better light I might have noticed it, but black on black inside a carport after five o'clock are not helpful lighting conditions.

"Thanks, guys. I don't mind admitting I'm ignorant, or even stupid, as long as there is someone to rescue me!"

Proven once again the Stinger is the most versatile sports car out there..65” TV with ease…

What model tv was that?

Mine was never fully attached back on after the recall work was done. Im guessing @MerlintheMad has had the recall done as well. Super easy to forget on not fully attach that hose back. Just the squirter hose leading to the wipers

Yes. And the end of the hose had somehow got flipped so that the business end of it was pointing the other way. Just before I went to the service center, I held the washer back continuously for c. five seconds to make sure that the whirring sound I was hearing was the washer motor, and I saw liquid squirting up from the crack between the hood and right fender. Ah hah!, I thought, the hose must be plugged and the fluid is escaping from under the cap. You see how it is? The mystery is how/why the hose would have gotten detached in the first place, and twisted the other way.

 

[JSolo]

Didn't you have your car in for some service recently?

 

[MerlintheMad]

Yes, 45K miles service. I just thought of something: some weeks before that, I wiped down my engineroom with a damp terrycloth towel. If that hose is fairly easy to dislodge, I could have done it myself: I haven't used the washer since then, until this evening: serendipity strikes again: I'm probably going to need my washer during this trip, especially coming back into the mountains next weekend when temps are getting down to freezing (says the forecast), and possible weather like we're having right now (wet): I'd be fit to be tied on the road discovering this.

Upgraded tires today from oem to 245/275 on Michelin PS4’s. Omg what a difference!! So quiet, fills up the wheel wells and rims better (10 inch rear rims), no hesitation on cornering and just grabs the road, grippy as hell. Definitely worth the price with insurance..
