    Is that for the total time you went from going online to the time you finished for the day? Or is that the total driving with passenger time?

    Total time going online to the time I finished. It was a Wednesday night (9:30pm) in San Francisco. Was fortunate to catch a bunch of rides back to back to back...

    image.jpeg Today while parallel parking I rubbed on the curb, my first thought was like: Oh Fucdebfudiejddj!!!!!!!!!

    After finished parking of course take a look, then I found the 215/45r17 tires had protected the rim since it is wider! Lucky me! And I was considering going with 205 once these F'stones worn out! Now I probably will keep 215 in case I got stupid again and rub on the curb LOL!

    I purchased this smoked 3rd brake light from Amazon. It came from Taiwan and the quality seems legit. For under $50 I took the gamble and I'm pretty happy with it. For those interested last I checked there's only 9 left. I like that there's actually 9 LED lights oppose to the OE 4. You can also run the wires as DRL to stay on all times but I chose not run that option. Other than that it was a 5 minute install (plug and play)

    Nice, looks good!! I always wanted the smoked Valenti 3rd brake light but didn't feel like spending close to two bills on it. Thanks for sharing, I'll be ordering one soon. How long did the shipping take?

    My Bridgestone Turanza 400 have a bead too...but the caveot is when I purchase a replacement pair...there was a slight difference in the design ...after mounting I noticed the bead wa not ther even though I thought I bought the same tire...I looked closer to the model and the last letter was different...w not v
    So almost same model number..yes those bead saver tires are lifesavers...looking to replace the used ones I bought with the correct identical model number.

    The torque from these electric motors is something else! Combine that with some 'sticky' tires and there's no place this car won't go!

    @Lit Lit: how's the brightness compared with the stock one?
    on the picture the smoked one doesn't look really bright (at least compared with the regular tail lights)/

    Oh wow good to know about the slightly different on model number would make a big difference on the design! Was never aware of this, guess when time for new tires I will need to pay attention to those small little details! Thanks for this knowledge.

    That looks like the one I have @m3pare @Lit Lit . It will match your Valenti SB tail lights perfectly, especially if you wire in the light bar also..... (y)

    Nothing exciting. Just bored. Bought these organizers that fits right in with the trunk brace.

    Also got these sun visor extenders. They work well when the sun is directly in your face. My son will appreciate it.

    That's all. Functional (y)
