A tire pressure gauge is a couple of bucks at Auto Zone.

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.

I must have been thinking of some other over-priced replacement car
part. Although not oem you can get the whole kit for under $150.

Car software problems. I have the two Lucernes, '07 and '08. On
occasion either one of them will lock the doors when you exit the
vehicle. When it first happened I talked with the local service
manager and they had never heard of it. Maybe a year later the same
guy confessed that they were now aware of the problem and the service
guys roll down a window just in case the car locks while they are
working on it. GM will not do anything about it.

It's a problem for me as we leave the keys in the car when they are
parked at home. I now carry a spare in my pocket.

Leave your keys in the car...while it's unlocked?
They'd love you around here...in no time at all your cars would be in a
container on its way to Russia or some 3rd world country.


Most of us do not live in a crime ridden cesspool.


Nor in the gay capital of the free world.
Still hanging around in those bath houses?


You homophobic, besides stupid?

hee hee...guess that answers my question.
It's ok ...we're 'don't ask, don't tell' here.

Both homophobic racists. Since I have had the same wife for 41 years, and
Harry seems to have had more than one, and the present one keeps him in the
basement. Maybe he is gay. I have gay friends. big deal. Most do not
like the flaming, in your face gays of Polk Gulch either. When I worked in
SF while going to university, two of the IT operations managers were gay.
Big deal. Their choice. Since you are consistantly wrong about politics,
and Don's son is the alcoholic, not me. Stands to reason you are wrong
about me most of the time.

Uh....... you are the one who posts as if 'three sheets to the wind', Kalif
Swill.
I'm sure the AA organization can help you.
On the other hand, if you are telling the truth.........what the *ell is
wrong with you? Why do you talk funny most of the time?

F'n idiots! You are both low IQ under achievers. A drunk who could only
get work at a crown corporation, that raises a failure for a son. Still
living at home and still getting him his beer. Harry, claims to be a
professional writer. No cites about him on the internet, except as the PR
person for crooked bunch of union thieves. Lies about family members? Just
repeating your statements about your beer swilling, can not buy a car in his
own name (Cheating the insurance company?) son.
