It's a good thing that I don't drive around with a 1000 watt halogen lamp then. Seriously - if I can't see the damage then I don't care.

I've had good luck with the type that uses the long strips of cloth moving back and forth. Never had a problem even on a dark red lincoln LS.

Trust me - you would have been HIGHLY offended.........

Sure - they work fine. Most aren't quite as accurate - may be off a few hundred feet but they do work. The difference is the size of the screen and audio through the car speakers, plus a few other sync/Nav only features.

Sorry folks, I didn't see the title. I fixed it. wankaplank - we don't need that type of language here, even if you're upset.

Tethering means using your phone's internet connection with other devices, whether that device is sync or a laptop or other device. Most carriers charge extra for tethering. I have an unlimited iphone plan with AT&T (grandfathered). If I add tethering (for an extra fee) I have to switch to the 2 gb limited data plan. I'm sure with some plans you can get tethering for free though.

When you tether thru the sync system you are tethering Sync to your phone, so it's the same thing. You're still using your phone to provide internet access and that's going to cost you on most plans with most carriers.

Tinting your headlights and taillights WILL reduce your visibility at night - there is no way around that, and it's dangerous - that's why it's illegal. Therefore our comments were very smart. Stop the name calling and if you don't want to hear opinions on tinting headlights and taillights then don't post about it.

And the one that absolutely drives me up a freakin' wall when I see it. "Prolly"

EXACTLY!!!!! You probably know the areas I'm talking about.....

I run 38. 2.5 PSI should not dramatically affect fuel economy. If you want to be sure go back to 35 for a tank or two.

I don't recall anyone upgrading and starting to have new problems. Some have upgraded and continued to have existing problems. If it bothers you I'd get the update. If it doesn't really bother you I'd wait.

Nope. It's more than just the switch.

People who stop in the middle of the aisle in the grocery store oblivious to the other people trying to get past them. People who jump a line of cars waiting to turn right or left or people who jump the line of cars waiting to merge. People who type "break' instead of "brake" (multiple times). People who type "would of" or "could of" instead of "would've" or "could've". I could go on for hours......

You could just remove the tint. That will make the headlights a lot brighter.......and legal.

Of course it does. But they don't care because "it looks cool!"

Easy - just get some touch up paint, sand the area smooth, put a little primer on if it's bare metal, then the touch up paint. paintscratch.com can give you a complete kit and instructions.

Electronics usually fail within the first few months or 20 years later.

Haven't seen him in weeks......

Just for the record, it's "Voila!", not whala. It's french. How in the world could a dealer justify charging $75 for a 5 minute job?

Upon further research I think it is true that oxygen and nitrogen would behave about the same as far as expansion under heat. However, air contains a lot of water vapor whereas nitrogen contains almost none and I believe that is what makes Nitrogen more stable and causes less variation in pressure between hot and cold conditions. However, the difference is still relatively small and inconsequential to a passenger car or truck.

Why? If the rings don't seat properly during break in then they allow oil to seep into the cylinder and get burned off. It matches the symptoms and should be checked even though it's not the only possibility.

Pure nitrogen does not expand as much under heat but that's only a problem if you're a Nascar driver and you're worried about a quarter pound of pressure. There are benefits (drier, not as heat sensitive, doesn't leak out as fast) but they don't really matter to everyday drivers.

Sorry, I take things literally. Sounds like you meant to ask "How do I tell which tire or how low it is before stopping". I'm not sure whether the computer knows the actual pressure or if it's just getting a fault from the TPMS sensor or whether it knows which tire (depends on whether it has a sensor at each wheel or one for the entire vehicle. Either way it does not display this information. Some vehicles do but Ford has not implemented this feature. So you gotta stop and take out the tire gauge.

Is this a trick question? You take out the tire pressure gauge and check each one. The onboard system is not a substitute for regularly checking your tire pressure. It can be low before the warning goes off. You don't need Nitrogen. The biggest advantage is that it's drier than regular air. All the other benefits are very minor or non-existent for street driving. It's certainly not worth $80. Just use that new tire pressure gauge that you're going to buy and check the pressure once a month and you'll be just fine.
