I hit a rock that was either kicked up by a pickup in front of me or something that came out of it's bed...loudest sounding impact I have ever had on a car windshield. Surprisingly, the window did not crack nor have one of the bullet-hole type holes on the outer glass. Just three tiny little nicks. Pretty tough glass!

More accessible torque. Car feels quicker. I also kinda like cruising at a slightly higher rpm because I don't necessarily have to downshift as much when going around traffic. Speed difference is about 5-6mph. 5th gear no longer shows up on my gear indicator, it's either blank or 4th

My body shop guy even made a comment like, “we get these in often, we just keep seeing these particular models”. I told him there’s a joke online that they’re cursed lol

I suggest when you are parking in a parking lot, park between two large SUVs. That way, the old farts backing up are less likely to hit your car. humfrz |

Actually the locals at Walmart would probably look at you as one of their own!

Conditioned my leather with Mothers. It worked better than the meguiars wipes I was using.
This is a 100% leather seat skin kit that I installed.
