I think that's normal. How few is a few seconds? My car does that like every 20 seconds or so I think

I love these. What are they?

Nothing today but tomorrow I'm heading over to West End Alignment for a corner balance and alignment.

Is that a good thing ?

By the way I really appreciate the feedback as I'm trying to learn as much as I can

Thanks everybody

Are you sure that's not one of the auxiliary fans from the AC kicking on and off?

Probably the compressor. When below freezing and set to defrost the compressor kicks in and out a lot! Like somebody said before it is probably so it drains and doesn't freeze up.
I am actually amazed at how fast these car's windshields will frost over if you do not have the defrost blowing. Literally 30 seconds without it and you can barely see.

You actually want air conditioning when defrosting/defogging. The humidity in non air conditioned air will often fog the windshield if the A/C isn't running to "condition" the air. That is why the A/C automatically turns on when you switch over to defrost.

I have the rally armor set. They do help, but the sides are still going to be a mess. Just not a chipped mess :p

Also they pick up so much stuff that by the end of the week they have like a half inch of mud and dirt on them. It's a badge of honor.

Yes!
Don't mind the mess when you earned it!!

Somewhat-ghetto stealth installed my Escort SmartCord in the blank next to the rheostat. Works great after figuring out how to wire it all.

Hm. I think I may just keep my Toyota guards, then. Thanks!

Damn! The 17x8 size weighs only 15.5lbs and is only $200!!

This is a steal for a lightweight good looking wheel.
