  1. Surfing ? People at our age don't surf , very grateful that i can still walk .
  2. Looks a lot more like the current Nissan than the current TC .
  3. Only if it's an aftermarket muffler thats sole intention is too make as much noise as possible and adding absolutely NOTHING to the performance , yes, if that was the case we would have a problem. If those bumper stickers happened to be of Barry Manilow that said " I " then a heart shaped symbol below it and Barry Manilow's name below that i can't say what would happen but none of it good , i do know that .
  4. There is no bail for this particular offense .
  5. I have to admit that is very nice , luckily for me i never had any issues with merging / parking , lane changing ext.. and i never rely on mirrors i always look , the drivers side window is big enough to allow it but i have heard more than a few with these vans say they do have issues with that stuff so a window is a good option.
  6. I shake my head in disgust every time i see a car like a Toyota Tercel with a giant wing attached to the back , is it possible that people exist on this planet who would do a double take and give a very enthusiastic two thumbs up when something like that rolls by , i hope not . Anybody that would roll down the highway in a TC sporting racing stripes and a ground effects package needs to be taken into custody and jailed for life .
  7. Sounds like it's impossible to see where the triple thick jacking point is so i guess you just have to feel for it with your hands . So you think as long as you maintain the 6 inch distance behind the front wheel and 6 inch distance in front of the rear wheel you will be OK ? Thank you
  8. It's confusing because it says " We are pleased to deliver a new SNYC software update - available for immediate download " but when you click on update it says the below . Despite all this i never had any issue with voice commands , every once in a blue moon when i decide to use it no problems but it's exceptionally rare that i use it . I do not have that microphone thing like Desert Connect showed in his above post either .
  9. I never saw an update listed since i bought my 2018 , it says the below but no update is offered. It was updated back in 2017 apparently long before i bought it late 2018.
  10. Wait a minute ......you actually followed Barry Manilow around..... like a groupie ? Never mind not important , nice jack stands by the way .
  11. I'm a lazy bastar_ myself , if i could add 4 instead of 3 thats the way i'm going , adding 3 then needing to make an additional effort to add 1 more is just not going to work for me .
  12. The car going into "limp mode". Oh God not "Limp" mode , i hate limp mode !!!!
  13. Petrol engines available — 2018 International Engine of the Year, 1.2L PureTech S&S 110 hp or 130 hp EAT8 (auto) Diesel engines available — BlueHDi range 1.5L BlueHDi S&S 75 hp, 100 hp or 130 hp BVM6 (6-speed manual) or EAT8 (auto)
  14. I never looked under my TC to see if a hitch would be a pain to install , if it's that easy i might do it.
  15. I think Eddie was meaning "Normal" in " what is considered normal operating temps for the TC in a variety of driving conditions . A TC generation II with a 2.5 Duratec should be compared to others just like it and they should all be quite similar . Comparing a TC to a model that shares none of it's components would be considered "Different" , driving styles and road conditions shouldn't vary a great deal , there will still be whats considered a normal operating temp range and one thats way outside the norm.
  16. What are they attack dogs , let them roam free, dogs are family , i would put the wife in one cage and kids in the other.
  17. Wow, thats really nice and on a generation II no less.
  18. Please link me to the "Simple Tire" site that rates the CV tires because when i checked there are no reviews anywhere . The OP asked the below question: " Are they considered a good tire?" I found a single site that offered some reviews and it said 2.5 stars out of 5 stars which is what the OP was asking about , no need to act defensive about it, i'm sure some had better luck as the above posts indicate but are they a good tire , i would say no especially at the listed prices i see on the web . It's a " To each their own" as usual .
  19. Seem to get solid reviews . " Absolute TRASH. After 22k miles of mostly highway use these tires are completely bald. Rotated at 12k, but even the tread wear markers are worn off now. They started throwing big chunks of rubber at 10k miles" " Without question the worst tire I've ever had on a truck. The tread is completely gone at 12K miles. I wouldn't put these tires on a car going to the junk yard" " 16500 miles and they have been rotated twice. Two of the four on the ground have less than 50%. The other two 50%. Gravel roads eat 'em up. Some of the worst tires I have owned" " Worst tires I've ever used. These tires border on unsafe for their complete lack of traction. They should not be allowed to be sold" " They are not a comfortable riding tire. Very bumpy. My biggest complaint is the tread wear or lack of it. I'm around 23,000 miles and my mechanic told me I'll need new tires in a few thousand miles. Rotated tires every oil change and kept them properly inflated. Very disappointed! We should file a class action lawsuit" " Garbage. Worst tires ever. Worn out after 25K. DO NOT BUY. EVER!" " Worst tires ever installed on my 2012 Ram truck. These tires shake terribly, and they can't be balanced correctly. Also caused my ball joints to wear prematurely" https://www.1010tires.com/Tires/Reviews/Firestone/Transforce+AT?px=1
  20. I actually love the look of the "White" , it was the only color i wanted . The ONLY other color i think it looks good in is light silver but thats just me . The only time the color white becomes creepy is when you never wash it , if it's sparkling clean no color looks better imo.
  21. Oh God , i hate the looks of the new one , not even remotely close to how stylish the older models were imo .
  22. I just want more volume , i wanted to just replace the speakers with higher quality ones but i haven't been able to find out if that would make a difference . The whole two way speaker or 3 way speaker to go with and i'm clueless as to the watts recommended and size also . I find the interior very quite but the overall volume is just a little bit too low for me. I think i would need two door speakers and two tweeters from what i read .
  23. Get a little creative .........? I think his gift card phone holder is very creative , very nice job . If i didn't already have a phone holder, ( Toss it onto the passenger seat) i might do what he did myself.
  24. The vehicle that got hit was it a TC or a regular Transit ? If it was a TC was it a 2nd generation, didn't see it mentioned in your first post .
