I opened the sunroof screen the day I took delivery and it's been open since. When I got in the car this morning it was closed and the button isn't opening it. WTF? Not sure if related but my mirrors were also folded in for some reason. I do not have fold mirrors when locking checked in settings. I know they didn't fold when I locked it last night. Any thoughts? Happy Friday ..read more

Some hilarious comments bringing back memories from long long ago. Based on that thread, I thought I'd start a new one called "I feel lucky to be old because......" thread. So, if you are old and you feel lucky to still be standing upright, let us know why. I feel lucky to be old because ..read more

I'm looking to have some artwork professionally framed. I know framing can be expensive, but holy sh*t! I went to a small shop with a great reputation. I realize there are many factors that go into the cost, but this blew my mind.... The artwork is on the larger size 28.5" x 38" I did request matting & added spacers (to appear as if "floating") I was quoted: with museum acrylic $1750ea with standard acrylic $1200ea Having no experience w/custom framing I don't know if this is outrageous or not. I plan to call other places. Wondering if anyone has any experience & can let me know if ..read more

Considering a de-ionized car wash kit for the final rinse to greatly reduce water spots. I'd like something mobile on a cart preferably - ease of moving around is my intent. I haven't found much out there except the two below, they aren't cheap, nor are replacing the filters/resin which concerns me on how long they will truly last until the filter/resin is depleted. I like that they both have a TDS meter/sensor. What have others found that work? https://www.amazon.com/CR-Spotless-D...zcF9hdGY&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Filterelated-...63b24bcb5&th=1 ..read more
