It is funny that many racks block plates, but it's also illegal to relocate the plate to make it clear. In Germany, when you run a rack, you just mount the plate to the end of the rack, but most states require the plate to be affixed to the car.

Just have them load up the pad and turn the buffer on without putting it on the paint.

I just respond with 'I've got a chair and some beer, you can use my stuff and I'll boss you around.' I've had one person take me up on it.

You invent it, you'll be rich. As it stands, you just sort of work on assumptions that primer, color and clear are a nominal thickness, therefore, you don't want to remove more than a set amount without disrupting the clear. I freaking love solid stage, single coat paint with no clear for...

Most body shops run a paint thickness gauge over the whole car before starting work. As a casual car detailer, I do before starting work on a car. Primarily it's to know that I have enough paint to safely do corrections, but it's also nice to know where you're dealing with factory paint vs...

Years ago when we bought a B5.5 A4, it clearly had a door damaged at the port and one door was clearly a different shade than the rest of the car. The dealer body shop fixed it much better, but it still sucked to have a new car that required paint right from the start. It was a car we'd...

Oh, it's pretty much impossible with metallic or pearl, that's why body shops prefer to blend into adjacent panels, just to ease the transition. Of course that also makes it super easy to detect repair work with a $50 paint thickness gun. Even matching solid color paint is very hard...

Fair, but Hondas have a Pringles for brake rotors. Actually using Honda brakes warps them. Torque to whatever, your brakes still suck.

One of my neighbors uses one on a Tesla, so glass roofs seem fine.

Does Waze even work anymore? Google seems to have kneecapped it in favor of regular gMaps. And gMaps now shows cops with an icon that took me a few weeks to realize was actually a cop.

Just saying you guys have your own special wack.

Are radar detectors still illegal in VA?

Fair enough, welcome, and congrats on the best Mk7 color, car and bike look great.

Selvedge jeans? How far can we derail this? Ha, take that targeted google ads, wrong Yeti, I don't need a cup!

Why not just run the AXS post? Unless you're like me and run a 210mm, then you're a bit hosed. Of course you'd lose the Kashima theme, but the AXS does work really well, plus you get to see how often you're really using it with the app, I have a few friends that use it and RS/SRAM seem to...

You can get them direct. https://www.seasucker.com/ And yes, opening your sunroof would probably result in an amusing bike ejection! When I have run a roof rack, I either put bright tape over the Homelink buttons or lock the garage remote in the glove box and put a camp chair in the garage so...

Where's the $9k bike? I see a GX crank and XT brakes. I kid. Nice Hydras, and skinwalls ftw.

I'm not arguing GTI vs R, I'd hope there is some difference in bracing, etc. But they could make either car in either location and they'd be exactly the same. Your statement was that the R is magically better because it's made by Germans and that's simply a load of bs.
