    I check my lights any time I’m parked facing a glass storefront. Does nobody else? That always felt like a basic vehicle maintenance thing to me. :notsure:

    usually that’s programmed in the ECU right? Tuners can usually turn functions off like that, I saw here on TW the other day someone had the tuner turn off the no seatbelt alarm.

    Your logic would lead one to never correct a child’s actions because you’ve also misbehaved.


    Or a society to excuse crime because none of us have lived without crime.


    It’s lazy logic.

    I was agreeing with all you fine upstanding citizens, I have no idea what you're talking about.

    I mostly just enjoy when community comes together for a good old fashioned soapboxing or high horsing.

    Also an adult in most cases has authority and responsibity over a child. That same is not necessarily true for adult to adult. But it's okay we both can have lazy logic :p

    And before you ask, yes I'm purposely being obtuse and I don't care about the argument at all because it's not one I'm trying to make. I just think people high horsing needlessly on the forum is fun to poke fun at

    My compliments to the OP btw, excellent Friday thread. A+

    95 is only 10 over the posted speed limit on Hwy 130 outside of Austin.

    Did you just directly refer to OP as a child in need of discipline?
    Kek


    95 is a crazy low limiter fwiw. I definitely had my 1st gen pegged at 110 back in the day coming back from San Diego for prolly 10-15 miles or so. Buddy's little Chevy overheated lmao
