What have you done to your vehicle lately?

[pronstar]

Ended brake pads badly a few months ago.
Cheapest Autozone Duralast was all I could find locally on my half ton Silverado.

Braking sucked, standing on the pedal wouldn’t activate abs, even in the wet.
I think heavy 33” mud tires contributed to this.
Had two semi-close calls,nearly rear-ending cars.

Front rotors were borderline thin, so I replaced them with some medium duty rotors and Hawk Super Duty pads. I’ve known these pads to be dusty, but have had good experience with them on 3/4 ton trucks.

Bedded the pads, braking is so much better now.
I can activate abs in the dry and I don’t have to stand on the pedal.

Hawks are dusty because they sacrifice the pad vs. the rotor on purpose. They're good stuff though, consistent and strong performing.

Not done anything yet but thinking about the timing belt on wife's car.

2013 Acura, V6, only 33,000 mi.

Gets around 600 miles / year. It would be an old-age rather than mileage replacement.
Probably wait another couple years...
Going to do a driveway brake fluid flush soon as the weather permits.

That must have been a project, nice job.

I did all the hard work seven years ago when I wired it for the aftermarket stereo I installed then. Picked the same brand, with the same connectors and adapters, so it was easy peasy, 15 minutes in the parking lot.

Doing 69 mph while taking a picture of your dash.

You are part of the problem.

Yeah, get over in the slow lane or speed up.

The aftermarket unit looks more factory than the factory unit LOL

Aging knees, city traffic and manual don’t mix. And it’s not like we’re talking asthmatic vehicles like my first car with 64HP and a three speed slush box. Six speed double clutch shifts faster and better than I ever could.

Autos have a place just NOT in a sports car imo. However the snew slush box and comp comtrols can definitely out do the old ways in speed of shifts and gear selection.
