Recently at work, I've been listening to several different Japanese radio online (cuz they only air once a wk). Today's radio, they read my comment I've sent few wks back! I was surprised and made my day for sure!

I love live shoutouts like that! I used to get some back in 2004 listening to live shows on bassdrive.com

Feels good man.

I think ol @Tcoat was referring to stock 2017 wheels, he has a 2013, which would be a change ….


Ya, I never replaced any wheels on any car (unless they were damaged). I've gone from black walls to port-a-walls, baby moon hubcaps to full hubcaps; all colors of painted rims ……. so, I reckon that makes me a …….. modder ……

Recently replaced Bosch Icons with the Trico Onyx, which is pretty much the same thing as the Force from what I can tell. They have been fantastic so far on both my cars.

Parking Brake or Emergency Brake? Who knew there were such strong opinions on something like that?

Pretty sure it is more just an age thing as far as the terminology goes. Same as I still read "FI" as fuel injected and not forced induction and frequently have to restrain my self from calling alloy wheels "Mags".

Now people that don't use it as a parking brake because it is not "needed" that is a whole different matter.

We call it the 'hand brake'.

So how old am I since I commonly catch myself saying "rims" when I talk about wheels

I think I can speak for both the USA and Canada when I say we both agree on as much that you are totally wrong there. But at least you can do some pretty spectacular weddings.
