Get the Gucci ones. I like the leather quality they use on the outside, and, I find their "chocking abilities" to be of extremely high quality.

If you want to save a bit, you can consider the D&G ones, but I feel they just don't chock as well.

I actually use bricks and scraps of 2x4.

I used to have a real nice piece of a split oak log I would use. It fit real nice. But then I burned it in the fireplace.

TF? You think I would settle Gucci and D&G... Those are secondary lux brands, I live in SoCal, bro... If I'm not rocking Fendi, Prada, or Louis, I'm going to be the laughing stock of my town...


I guess that's what I get for asking advice from a Canadian peon.. BRB Going over to RLX for their suggestions.. They'll know what's up

Pfft. Wheel chocks for a RLX?

Are you daft? If one ever needed to chock the wheels on a RLX, one would just call the dealer to come pick the car up on flatbed. And then buy a new car.

I wasn't talking about purses, ladiboi. Jeez, sometimes your obsession with the latest handbags seems to get out of control.

I'd be terrified to climb under a car in that position

I know you took the necessary precautions, but it still makes you wonder "what if.."

and I mean, you don't want to be on Fox's new TV special- When Cars Fall on Their Owners

I gotta put a new o2 sensor in the miata... but it's like right in the middle of the car, underneath, so I'd have to raise it the same way you did. So I've been putting it off. Pusssaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

Just dead lift it up from the side and ask the wife to stick it in... miatas only weigh like what, 500 kg? That's like 75 pounds or something.... You can do it PUSSSAAYYYYYY

I think you'd have been okay actually...

They probably all have you blocked so they'd never have seen it.

Actually, now that you mention is... maybe lifting the car from the side might be better after all, lol. I gotta get around to doing it soon though.

The CEL drives me bananas. I have a Garmin EcoRoute thingy in my car that connects into the OBD port and I'm able to read anything the car is reading, sent via bluetooth to my phone. It's the greatest little gizmo. It's also able to read and clear CELs and it's always the same thing... damn rear o2 sensor!!

I hope it's the rear o2 and not the cat. I had a similar issue and it ended up being the cat

$600 bucks later, I pass emissions.

There is no cat

Emissions are of no concern here. So I'll continue to destroy the world for our future generations. I'm thinking that the lack of a cat likely fouled up the o2 sensor. But the car throws 2 different codes for the same sensor. One says it's not reading right. The other says it isn't the right temperature. Apparently it has a little heating element within it, so upon cold day starts, it heats it up to ensure proper readings. Things I never knew before that...

Wait then wtf is the rear o2 sensing...

Is that possibly why your o2 is lighting up the CEL, because there's no cat.? Defoul that shit and call it a day

Jordan just keeps recycling the same old shit over and over and over again with that shitty nubuck, or with sub par leather, they must have got the leather from the 3g TL

well, it's sensing the emissions coming past it, lol. I dunno. I think it actually crapped out though. Whatever. I found a replacement for $150. I'll just slap it on there and call it a day. I believe it is a wideband o2 sensor.

The light isn't on because of the missing cat. The car ran fine when I first bought it and never threw a code. Started doing it several months later.

Haven't wore Kobes, but I've been rocking some Foamposites. SO fucking comfortable, but some don't like the looks of them.

Funny thing is- I dunno about miatas either

Look, the car says it's the o2 sensor, so I'll replace it and see what happens. That's all I know. Don't yell at me!!!
