Been driving a base 2015 ILX the past few days, horey shet that thing is slow. 150hp FTL.

Might've pushed the car too much over the weekend, it's got a slow leak on the front passenger side tire. Can't seem to find a nail or anything.

I'd fill it up to 34psi and 2 hours later it's at 32, overnight it goes to 15-20

 

The TL in the shop Miz?

There's probably a nail in her.. just get a bottle of water.. add some soap.. then pour it over tire. Or spray bottle of soapy water and spray around. You'll find it. If it's a loaner, don't worry about it. Otherwise, find it.. plug it.

 

I had a tiny nail in one of my tires.. it would go down to 20 over a week's time. I thought it was crack in the wheel at first.. ended up being a tiny brad that made it's way through. Plugged it.. problem gone.

 

Yea it's in the shop for tranny fluid change and brake fluid change. As well as regular oil change.

Also getting my top climate control/clock display fixed under warranty.




Yea it's a loaner car.. Should I just fill it up to 38 and turn it in? Or should I mention it when I turn it in?


I've visually inspected the entire tire, couldn't find a damn thing.

 

Hello Gary.

 

Yes, it sure is. Hence why I caved and decided to deviate from my financial plan by picking up the Miata. What's the point of having money if you never get to enjoy it. I'm sure I'll make up the money over time. It's the kind of set back that can out a smile on my face!

I look at my parents- they've busted their asses all their lives, saving like crazy. They're now both retired with more than enough money to spare, but being so incredibly cheap for the last 30 years has made them unable to spend their money now. It's like they worked to save as much as possible and to enjoy now, and yet they can't enjoy it now. Wtf.

 

Gary and Miz

Miz, put air in it and turn that pos in.

 

You have to enjoy it.. can't take it with you. There comes an age when it's physically difficult to enjoy it as well.

 

Honestly, I'd just over fill it and return it. Not your problem. It would cost the dealership near nothing to repair and it's a part of them doing business. They're likely already gouging you on your service- chalk it up as being even

 

Miz.. if you need the loaner for a few days.. plug it. A plug is like $2.. $15 if you buy the kit. You need to man up though and grind the fuck out of the tire when you do it. If you're turning it in today.. just tell them there is an air leak in the tire.

 

So hookers and blow party on a private jet this weekend?

 

 

Ain't got time for that. Stupid thing called work.

Anyways my car should be done later today, the part they needed for the climate control display had to be ordered.

 

Always got time for this thou...

 

Had a slow leak that I dealt with by re-inflating every fucking day for like 2 months. Crappy $10 compressor broke at some point, I warrantied, then went on for more inflating.
Got tired at some point and got the tire reseated on the rim after grinding some of the dirt and rust.

Few years ago I was driving my mother's car and as we're passing on a narrow bridge I see there's a steel plate put down to hide a construction hole, and right before the plate a huge pot hole had formed. Couldn't brake in time and couldn't switch lanes because somebody else was passing. I braked as hard as possible, suspension fully compressed and it hit pretty hard. 15 seconds after I feel the steering pulling on the right.... fuuuuuu-

I park the car in some business parking lot and look in the trunk. My mother had no spare or jack, the previous owner didn't replace it. Just my luck.
It starts raining, it's November and cold, my mom tells me she has plugs and a compressor. The hole is near the side wall on the inside and I keep pulling in an inverted manner as fast as possible to get the plug to hold there. Bang my hand on the fender liner a few times, bloody knuckles...

Some lady comes out of the business and starts yelling at us that it's a private business and we can't be there, saying she has to give her baladi classes and people won't be able to park in her 15 parking spots parking lot. I've never seen my mom yell at someone before, but that was great.
I think the lady got scared at some point my mom would throw something through her windows. My mom is 100 pounds and 5'2" and wouldn't hurt a fly.
Lady just snuck back inside.

Few moments later I plugged the hole and realized there was a second hole an inch from it, which I also plugged under a minute. Inflated the tire, got the car back home. I bought her a new tire, a junkyard spare and a 2 ton jack she can keep in her car and to this day we still laugh at how angry she got at that lady. Don't mess with a mom that just got a flat tire.

 

 

 

What's new boys? Drove the Bimmer for the first time in 8 days on Sunday...it finally quit snowing for 5 minutes and the roads cleared...

 

Was your mom yelling "TABERNAK! TABERNAK!"??

Any newdz of said, 100lb, 5'2", spinner mom?

 

I don't think anyone can top the excitement of Maj and a Caddy.

 

You're right...are there pictures anywhere...that V would smoke us all! From my years of experience, there is always someone with a faster car...

 

 

 

Hell hath no furry like a 100 lb. woman with a flat tire...

In for nudes! She's probably somewhere near my age...

 

I think after a few days if either put on the spare or bring it into a shop to get it looked at.

 

My mom doesn't swear. Told you she's a nice lady.


And no, no newdz.

 

And there it is...first :ghey: reference of the morning...

 

She turned 49 in December. And she was dating a guy 2 years older than me who we called mammoth because he was twice her size and 3 times her weight.

wtf mom.

I'd give it to them with the leak. They get that shit all the time, it's meant to happen, calculated in operating costs.

 

Morning slores.

 

Well hello Mr. H

 

Seriously...2 years older than you? WTF Polo's mom?

 

Gutentag Yummy...

 

Hey I'm more concerned about the other guy hitting on people that could be his mom. She broke up with him a little while ago though, so I imagine it was just a 1 year fling thing.

 

In for rebound sex!

 

Congrats on the car, Joe! This is awesome, can't wait to see pics. Livin that yolo life.

 

Gary, you're fucking hilarious man. Go hit it.

 

Oedipus complex.

 

No, not a :ghey: reference. Jamie just REALLY seems to love Maj, is all. And J, for that matter, lol.
