You don't wanna see me driving stoned.
Your car practically drives itself!! :idea:

Yeah I think I made 3 trips to Lowes for fittings on my last project. The mistake I made at first was buying CPVC instead of regular PVC....ugh!

But you know, you can bend the 10' lengths of 1/2" pvc 180 degrees and get it in your car instead of cutting it, and it pops right back to straight when you take it out.

If only I could sit in the passenger seat and surf on my phone while it drove.

(same car and trim and LG's) Yeah Kevin was showing me how you have to keep a hand on the wheel or the system shuts off. But it is handy in heavy traffic. The tire pressure light came on Sunday, but all was fine and he just re-set it. It has some newfangled method of checking, no more sensors in the tires.

I fell asleep in the car right when we left Connecticut, and I got woke up to the sound of his turbo grunting....Looked over at the speedometer and it said 97 MPH and he was weaving in and out of traffic. I said "dude, don't kill me", and went back to sleep. Later he said someone threw something at his car and he was trying to get away from them...and did.

It was an interesting trip!

Oh I was thinking of @DarkWeb and I should have gotten a pic. My BIL is the outdoor chef extraordinaire. They have a deck on the back of their home that has to be 50' wide, and he has about a 30' kitchen set up, complete with 2 smokers, a grill, a griddle, and a big work station. He did like 5-6 racks of ribs for dinner Saturday night, and we hung by the pool while he cooked. They are in Oxford, other sis is 30 minutes away in Conn.

ONLY bad thing is none of them toke, so we didn't. My sisters don't care but there were in-laws there. My sister pointed out their 2 neighbors are both growing outdoors. The nearest one had 2 large plants...The other neighbor had a bunch and they were over his head...I should have gone over and introduced myself as he was out working on them.

Sounds like a great setup. How was the food?

The TPMS system measures rotational radius. If i gun it hard the light will momentarily come on then go off. I didn't realize it was the same in my CRV and can be calibrated. I drove around an entire winter with that stupid light on.

Yeah the old style are nice....Until they quit working, and it can be expensive to replace the sensors, especially if you go with OEM.

The TPS light on the dash is on, on both my car and pickup. They are both 10++ years old.

I have once again fizzled out on buying a new one...I drive so little, and I am way to fussy!

I remember when people used small baseball bats to check tires on big trucks lol. My wife's Humvee has that dumb TPMS system. It drove me nuts until I bought the socket tool thing to remove them myself and found generic ones for cheap at our auto parts store. I hate lights on the dash constantly, it just draws my eye to it as I'm driving.

Actually if you wear your sexy leggings you just make sure your leg is lightly in contact with the steering wheel and voila the car will drive itself, even in bumper to bumper downtown LA for me. Of course it's a totally different car but maybe my cheat will work for you too?

Well, another lesson learned, and @curious2garden was right!! (big surprise, lol)

I got my top of the line Bluelab EC meter today. The thing is huge....You'd never lose it.

But it reads in increments of 100. My old Vivosun reads 560, and the Bluelab just flashes between 500-600. I tried several different liquids and anyways, I am returning it. My 4 year old $8 Vivosun is just as accurate.

I spent a lot of 7th grade upside down in trash cans at middle school for that trait LOL
