I'm fortunate, I just use Bluetooth nowadays unless I'm in the car, at which point I mostly use USB over Bluetooth for longer drives.

When Bluetooth technology can reliably connect as consistently as the head phone jack, be cheap enough and have batteries that last long enough, I will switch over...until then

It'll happen, we'll all just be luddites until wireless is the norm.

I'm not popping $100+ on headphones anytime soon so headphone jack for me too. I'm actually a bit sad my Nexus 5X seems to be solid right now, I kinda want to try iOS again with an SE...

Cords can be annoying depending on what you are doing, but Bluetooth is a pain in some way usually (pairing, battery life, etc). I like having options and have sets of both. Though I still need a goo wireless ear bud. Right now just have over the ear wireless.

I hope his video evidence of him using it for "personal transportation" involves a burnout in front of the HOA office/boardmembers houses

Yeah, the connection issue is definitely a thing, though I usually only have it if I'm walking and my phone is in my pocket. At that point it's just a matter of which is more inconvenient: choppy BT connection or wires that can tangle; I've actually ruined headphones before because as I was walking the wire got tangled/caught on something and then I pulled the wire away from the headphone itself.

I don't even get what's the big deal? It's not like he has some racist remarks on the car if anything it makes their neighborhood cooler and "maintain[s] harmony in [their] community". HOAs can eat a d ick.

Screw HOAs, good-for-nothings but take your money.

I never liked the way the Juke looks, but I respect this owners balls lol. I kinda like it, reminds me of a miniature rallyraid Pajero.

I actually kind of like the way the Juke looks. Maybe just because it's not boring.

Photo my wife took yesterday from the Embarcadero with her Moment telephoto lens on her iPhone 6S.

Mann Engineering spec AST 4150 = awesome

Got the ride height dialed in and it's at the alignment shop right now. These things ride so much better then my Feal 441 around town. I am very interested to see when I hit T-hill end of the month how they compared. The Feals were awesome on track but the compression valving was so stiff even small bumps were jarring on the street (this is my uneducated observation, I'm very new to suspension tuning lol). Now small bumps are there but easily handled and and big bumps are absorbed so my spine doesn't hurt lol

So I'm trying to order one of these VP gas cans from Amazon since I'm trying out an E30 fuel tune for the RS

https://www.amazon.com/VP-Gallon-Squ...rds=vp+gas+can

Problem is, when I try to check out, every single one of them shows as "unable to deliver to your location". Is this some kind of CA thing that I can't order a gas can? WTF?
