Driver's in Texas haul-ass in five gallon orange buckets. You will be steadily passed at anything below eighty, sixty might get you shot.
The judging of my wife's driving ability by Mr. Lou was ironic. She has 94k miles on her 7spd manual trans Carrera 4 that is her primary highway car, and...
No Sir. Only two road trips since then, once was last weekend when we drove it to Caldwell. She is back to taking her speedy car on road trips to Austin.
Has been through the 5k service, and it had 6,199 miles last weekend.
We named it Roz (Monster's Inc) because the tech is always watching...
@Lou Gill, I would counter that worse than my wife driving 100 are the drivers at or below the speed limit with their head in their phone. If you are ever in Houston and want to discuss in person, I am buying drinks and dinner. I'll have my wife pick you up...:rofl:
@shelby95 Will also order you a loaf of bread or some kolaches. Asked my wife about grabbing the wrong pump and she described how the grades were flipped and she made that mistake years ago. We both went to school in Austin so we have been stopping there for decades.

Waiting on the codes but just hung up with the dealer. There were a multitude of events: a combination of 20% fuel in the tank, sustained 100 MPH, and what the dealership is calling low-grade fuel (my Wife calls bull**** on this one, stopped at Hruska's on 71) caused the vehicle to slow down to...
Super unleaded only in our house. Turns out it was closer to 100mph for at least twenty minutes. @usnick1982 I will get the sticker, car still at dealer.
Yup, headed from Austin to Houston this afternoon at about 95 (Texas) and check engine came up on the display. First it was slowing and then it would not respond to throttle inputs. She made it to the shoulder, and after waiting a few minutes it would achieve thirteen MPH with smells and...
Yes @RET2 @FerrisBueller @Docwyte , my dumb ass did not order the hardware kit. Thanks for your response. And I had six hours set aside without family duties!!! Thanks to this thread, the holes are drilled and painted, and the steps are assembled and ready to hang. Had extra time to install...
