  1. Point Loma, San Diego Cars & Coffee, today

    Lots of interesting cars. Here's the video:
  2. Another Elite Finish C&C (Nascar theme)

    As some of you know, NASCAR races were happening this weekend in downtown San Diego. I didn't get to go, but I did go to this c&c near the Miramar air base. Since my prior focus at previous c&cs at Elite Finish had been the cars, I made this one somewhat brief and more about the crowds that...
  3. Excellent Cars and Brew event in San Diego, yesterday

    ...not far from the Miramar Air Base. This had to be the third time I've been to an Elite Finish event, only this one was in the late afternoon/early evening. The crowd was huge and the cars were amazing, as usual. Check out my video when you have a chance.
  4. Dash ornament for Cars & Coffee events

    I couldn't resist this one.:)
  5. Local Cars & Coffee event with very unique vehicle

    It seemed to be professionally constructed by a custom builder. I had a good talk with the owner who bought it from the guy. He paid $6k for it. I'm sure you'll spot it right away in this video:
  6. Review of 4K dashcam: Vantrue Element 1 Pro

    I've been thinking about getting a small, yet high-resolution dashcam for a couple of years now. Finally, I did some research and bought the one in the title. I'll explain my thoughts about my simplistic setup, then attach a youtube video I made that includes unboxing and street-driving videos...
  7. Windshield laminate layer "glitter" when facing the sun

    Has anyone ever noticed this? It is very likely not an external sand-blasting from frequent highway use. There is no roughness on either side of the windshield, so I suspect the laminate layer.
  8. The incredible BAC Mono: Racecar for the street

    It is hilarious to hear (and see) what test drivers have experienced when driving this amazing car. Here's my compilation of some. Enjoy!
  9. How to test your exhaust's sound level

    Latest development: I just had a talk with a CA noise-testing employee. He sent me a more detailed guide with layout of the test setup. I changed my drawing to the attached. Here's the youtube link:
  10. Elite Finish Cars & Coffee event, today, 3.22.2025

    I had a great morning at this event, not too far from the Marine Base at Miramar.
  11. Does turning off fake engine noise also de-energize the exhaust valve?

    It seems as if once the fake engine noise is turned off, there is no change in idle sound when Sport mode is turned on. Is that normal?
  12. Parts section

    I suggested that this site add a "Parts" topic where I can post "Toyota and BMW dealership collaboration" I think this is very important when dealing with warranty service. Thanks, management.
  13. Quick suggestion for using the built-in navigation program

    I played around with the various methods of entering an address. Here's what works the best for me: 1. Press the voice button on the steering wheel. 2. Say "Enter new address." 3. After our NAV girl asks you to say the address, 4. Say the street number, street name, city, and state. 5. Most of...
  14. Garage Collective meetup, 1-27-24 in San Diego pics

    This was the first time I had ever been to this place ( garagecollective.com ) and was very impressed with the variety of vehicles that were inside and outside. There was even a GR Yaris there (with Mexico plates). There was coffee, donuts and a kegerator which didn't seem to be accessible. ;)...

    at about 800 miles....bringing it in, tomorrow.
  17. Anyone install a ScanGauge?

    I have one from my now sold Mazda 3S GT and would like to install it in my Supra. For anyone who is not familiar with this, it is a code reader that doubles as a gauge showing 4 of 16 or more outputs from the OBD II. I typically would have it show voltage, air intake temp, coolant temp, and...
  18. Fleet vehicles - good, bad, in between?

    I occasionally see a Supra that was a fleet vehicle. Do any of you know about these? Were they likely to be broken in properly? I'm looking at a 2022.
