Some asshat in a silver mustang tried to race me last night in the cinco ranch area. After I declined, he then decided to try and follow me to my house.

On another note, quick question if anybody could give me some feedback.

So about two weeks ago I installed switchback turn signals, after going thru the few days of hyper flashing, Simon installed the resistor for the turn signal switch under the floor panel. They worked fine for a few days until one of them start flickering. So with that, I ordered another set, installed them and again after a few days, one of them started flickering again. Any suggestions of what it could be? Maybe the lights themselves?

Next time, call the police and say that the drive appears to be drunk, swerving and that he was also making threatening gestures. Advise them that you saw something that appeared to be a shape of a gun and he was pointing it at you. Don't forget to give them your location.

I just put 235/45/17 back on the front of my slammed 3G. I had 215/45/17 on the front before with no rub problems when turning. Now it rubs, do I need to roll fenders or something because its cutting off the edge of the tire.

Aw man, I got the code P2138 for my APP sensor being faulty. I have read all of the previous threads on AZ, but just wondering if anyone knows for certain who has the best price. And any tips?

Also can anyone tell me if this will work?

SMP Standard APS147 Switch Accelerator Pedal Accelerator Pedal Sensor | eBay
THIS IS THE EXACT PART I BOUGHT.

And that is a very good price! I bought mine for approximately $130.
That will work. Its very easy to install.
just make sure you got the right tools.
10mm soc and 12mm soc

Location: Under the hood right above your engine on the passenger side.
Remove all bolts and take out the Sensor with the black Bracket attached.
After that its all simple and straight forward. Takes about 10 mins to do it.

So here's a little update...
Some weeks ago, I got some damage done to my passenger side mirror and driver side front end corner. The TL was at Royal Collision while I enjoyed the gas mileage and comfort of the 2013 Toyota Corolla rental. By the way, that is one great car for a DD... Anyways, I ended up getting a whole new front end and they even fixed my keyed up trunk... Then about 1 week ago, I got rear ended, so the TL is back at Royal and I'm enjoying the somewhat sporty 2013 Ford Focus. Joe at Royal has really taken care of me and does great work...

Not sure if I've been having good luck or bad, but I do know that all the parts that have been getting replaced are parts that were already damaged...lol. If all goes well, I'll be joining y'all at the car meets again pretty soon. Anyways, here's to a new rear end...
