guess i'm a little confused on how this would work because when you flash to Cobb...the very first thing it does is copy your stock file to the Accessport, then flashes whatever map you choose to your DME.

but if your car is currently flashed with a Cobb map...how is the Accessport going to be able to grab a 'stock' map from your car since it won't be an initial flash.

i'm assuming Cobb knows what they are doing...i'm not doubting what they are saying. i'm just curious how that works. i sold my Cobb a few months ago...or else i'd help you out.

that's what Freedom Wash is for my friend....bright bright lights at night.
Don't do automated car washes Only hand washing the old fashion way for this kid. Actually I rode through the automated wash at Freedom with 'tbracing" when he was still here, and I literally "cringed" through the whole ordeal. And I've just seen via a friend's ordeal what happens when automated "brushless" car washes go awry.

And the wheel guide can scratch your rims up... especially if your tires are stretched.

Oh, I didn't realize they allowed that since most car washes frown on hand washing. Good to know.

The guy who owns freedom is a big car enthusiast. If he is there and sees a whole rack of BMW's show up, he'll usually comp us for the wash. Its happened a few times for us. He is cool with bringing your own stuff as long as you pay for and use his water.

Anyone know where I can get a used Potenza RFT 225/40/18? Damn pothole on 64 put a bubble in my front right sidewall.
Side note, I did the carbon cleaning with cleex024 a couple weeks ago. I'll post some pics but it was pretty bad in there. Only 44k on the car.

Out of those 3, I'm partial to the Nikon (disclaimer: I own a Nikon DLSR, but I don't own stock in Nikon ).

A lot of people are saying get the Nikon. I also like the Sony HX200v. Dam it, I can't stand being so indecisive.

If you like the Sony, get it and check it out. I believe Amazon has a decent return policy if it turns out the Sony isn't quite what you wanted. I'm relatively certain you'll like the Nikon, but I'm sure there are some Canon shooters who would beg to differ.

Anyone get their intake valves cleaned recently? Is there a place I can get it done for a good price locally?
