Seems stupid, but man what a difference !
Looks overpriced when you look at it ..... but once you install it and take a spin ..... it's the best $50 spent hands down!

6'3 maybe only pertains to Recaro seating as I have to have them all the way back.

Wheels*. You need new wheels. Rims are *parts* of wheels. GD rap culture and their stupid slang terms.

Yep I feel the same when they say wheels for tires. That's generally girls though. So almost understandable, but still unacceptable.

I've had people call tires "wheels" before. I don't acquiesce. I give them a confused look and begin to explain in a slow manner that the "rubber parts aren't called wheels. They're tires."

I start mine every two weeks for a half hour ( go up and down road). But I just had to. I think it was exceptionally warm just at my house. All I needed was a T-shirt. Either that we are all just getting used to zero degree weather. Lol

I hear ya. I guess I just can't help it. It's harder to drive even up and down the street with summer tires. Couple weeks ago I got on the pedal with it in 3rd and the wheel just started spinning.. Fun, but I didn't expect it so it was a white knuckle moment for sure. Lol

I don't acquiesce either. I do exactly as you do. Actually, I do that with anything that should be common knowledge. And if they continue to talk to me, making the same mistake that I just corrected, I pretty much dismiss them completely. No point continuing the conversation, because they're clearly not on the same IQ level as I am, so they're most likely not going to understand what I (or we) mean.

Wow. Narcissistic much?
