Oh and I riced out my engine bay a bit and I repainted my wheels for the winter.
What engine cover is that? Loving the dressed bay.

^^^Thats the way to do it!

I haven’t had sensors on my car for 130000 of the 155000 Miles I have on the car. Once the original set of Pilot Sports wore out, I bought another set of wheels and tires off a forum member that did not have sensors and then bought my Volks. I still have my oem sensors sitting in the garage practically brand new. On the 04s at least, the light is steady, it doesn’t blink. After awhile you don’t even notice it and just accept it as part of the dash lights

I'd rather know before she gon' blow, personally. It's a waste of money for most people .

I bought one sensors to have them fail in 3 years lol. You can't replace the batteries because the potting material they use in there. It is unfortunate.

Went in planning to get 1 replaced. Glad I did all 4, peace of mind especially living in a roof replacement hot spot, nails are everywhere in my area.

TPMS has saved my *** half a dozen times, twice while on vacation out of state. I will definitely keep mine intact.

Drove back to Washington in some freezing rain and freezing fog, amazing how well the RWD 6MT is in those conditions with stock all season tires. Handling is predictable and it rotates slowly with too much throttle, very comfortable and doesn't feel sketchy at all.

I wish I could say the same of other drivers lol...

The new Rain-X Quantum wiper blades I installed last weekend are amazing btw! So much better than the old Rain-X style with the massive connector section, the new quantum blades are MUUUUUCH lower profile to the windshield and have a better aerodynamic design, zero hop even when getting a lot of spray on the windshield from passing semi trucks and they have a built-in wear indicator that turns yellow when you need to replace the blades which is good for me since I usually forget about them until I actually need them

Dropped a carrot between the driver seat and the center console. Not exaggerating I almost had to remove the seat to get it out, I managed to get it wedged into the track pretty good and had to use a bent metal coat hanger to fish it out...

That's the forbidden zone, where things get dropped, but never found.
