No idea what's going on lately with these members.
Taken back by the lack of common sense in these guys. How did he expect to run a 4 lug 13 inch wheel on his TL when his brakes are 13 inches?
You have the other guy telling members to do the "clutch test" on any manual transmission vehicle you look at..
You have the last guy, who had his car painted due to an accident, and is now wondering why his clear coat has taken a shit, while using brake clean to take off dip.

EDIT: Well not so much. You're mostly right, but he didn't have it repainted first. He used plastidip to cover a scratch...
Plus, he said someone scratched his car.. just to back pedal and say "Guyyyysssssss... I mean't sideswiped" Which makes it better because plasti-dip when sprayed on, fixes damaged and dented panels. Who knew..

And as for the guy who wants to run 13" wheels and drag tires- he'll just swap the TL brakes for civic ones. He won't even need the 5-to-4 lug adapters. #winning 
He will also reduce the rotational mass the engine has to spin, therefore he will get even better run times. Stopping? Stopping is for pussies.
Speaking of which, why in the fuck do they even manufacture smething like that? If your car is designed to have 5 lugs, why would you put additional stress on the lugs by removing one? I can't even think of a situation where this makes sense. What in the fuck is going on?

Yes. Some people are literally sheep and just follow the cool kids. Without question or knowledge.
That's why I'm selling my car and buying a KBP type-s with advans.
