I cringe for the paint on my winter car every time I pass a county plow that's throwing giant salt and sand granules over both lanes of the road, bouncing them up over my hood.
I'm putting my '21 into winter hibernation this week (I've been driving lately in temps down to 25F), and in 2200 miles and a couple months I only ever had the one instance of this happen. I even tried cold start revs a few times in that time period and nothing ever happened again. Hopefully...
Fair point and a good idea, but my backup plan for the Supra is putting in just enough 91 octane, which just got a little easier to get near home. Before a couple months ago, rec-90 was the best I could do within 30 miles, and I would only blend a gallon in with at least a gallon of 93 in the...
Not that it's a good idea, but I took it down to 11 miles left and put in 13 gallons of gas last week. It was definitely recalculating often based on my driving, at least from 60 miles left and down (I saw it go from 45 to 50 miles left).
Based on my driving habits when I'm pushing it to get to...
I tried a cold start rev this morning and didn't have any issues, but I'm also not in the habit of revving the engine as soon as I start it; I usually avoid it. I think I'll avoid it even more now if there's a chance this issue could come back or get worse like yours did. I'm glad you posted...
I had this same issue only one day. It was right after I installed a blackvue & battery a few days after picking up the car. Bone stock 2021.
I wanted to see how well the blackvue picked up sound and when I revved it, not only did nothing happen, it immediately shut off. I did it again a second...
Update: I was told the miles were from the owner of the trading dealership taking it home over the weekend, 20 miles away from that dealership and that the car was driven carefully. There's no way to know for sure, of course, and I'll chalk this up to honest mistake at this point. My salesperson...
As soon as there's any snow or slush on the ground, I can't trust summer tires. I pushed a set on my WRX well into November in northern NY, and when the roads were dry or just wet, no problems. The first bit of light snow or slush, and even with all wheel drive I had way too many close calls...
I'm a WRX driver that gave up on waiting for the next generation STI, so I decided the WRX is for winter driving duty and I wanted a fun summer vehicle.
At the end of August I decided to purchase a Supra, went to the local dealer for a test drive, and he threw me the keys to a new 2021 and sent...
