A tire pressure gauge is a couple of bucks at Auto Zone. Eisboch Ever try to read tire pressure at 70 MPH? *8) Good point. I am not sure I am all for the gadgets and high tech, computer controlled wizardry in cars. KISS. * I think about the '06 M5 I had (all two of them). * They probably represented the state-of-the-art in electronic, CPU controlled operation that year, from the engine management systems to the electronically controlled SMG transmission that operates the clutch electronically. They were both a disaster. * Traded in the first one because it had too many software "bugs". *Transmission would freeze up in neutral. *The famous "Red Cog of Death" *would appear on the driver's display and your only option was to call a flatbed. * Traded that in for one that had a later build date that reportedly had the bugs worked out. * *Nope.. * Car was a spectacular performer, with 500 hp and handling that could safely rocket you along at over 200 mph if you were so inclined *(I wasn't), but the damn thing wouldn't move half the time due to a software malfunction. That's when I traded it for the Porsche 911TT. * Porsche remains somewhat "old school" and other than those electronics that are absolutely necessary, it was a driver's car. * I like that. Ironically though, it was Porsche, back in the late 80's, that developed the first tire pressure monitoring system, based on speed sensors on all four wheels. Eisboch I must have been thinking of some other over-priced replacement car part. |
