Its not so much the stopping distance that is improved, its the fade resistance, and lighter weight.
And no dust on the wheels...
I have the porsche PCCB and although they are all of those things, I have to be careful on that first stop leaving the house and everything is cold.

re: Has anyone ever solved the problem of hard water stains on glass shower doors?

I will never be able to keep up with this task
when we built out house 6 years ago we had the shower glass coated with something from the glass company. I don't squeegee it, I wipe it with my towel after I'm finished and it looks perfect. In fact I dry the shower walls and fixtures also, then squeegee the floor right quick. Takes less than 2 minutes. We do go through more towels though lol.
quote:I've had 4 v6 raptors and have never thought "boy this thing really needs another 250hp" TBH I don't think the v6 raptors have enough brakes having owned a lot of sports cars. I can't imagine the R.
Regular Raptors are MSRP. I just bought one in July. Rs sticker for $115K and dealers mark them up by $30k. I would’ve paid MSRP for the R and I even offered $6k over, but frick paying dealer markup. Very happy with my regular Raptor.

quote:Who would you send an Omega coaxial chronograph to? I have one from about 2009 that I dropped on a tile floor and the counterweight fell off. I had it reattached by a local but it's still not right.
I won't touch my modern Omega movements because of the finicky oiling parameters for their coaxial movements.

my 2 sons with the 33 and 35 ACT scores would disagree but OK.
this summer was tight on time with everybody's schedules so we just went to Universal Orlando. 5 people, 5 nights at the Portofino with 2 rooms. Flights, Ubers, express passes for Epic. Meals, alcohol etc. $15-16K if I had to add it all up. But it was priceless. Our sons are 25 and 20 and it's hard to get us all together. Our first full family vacation since 2019.

A drive through Covington will show you its sorta looking dumpy in places. Plenty of Nissans and Kias. St Tammany should be very proud.

I dropped my Omega Planet Ocean chronograph on the tile floor a few years ago. It hasn't worked right since. I had a local watchmaker repair it, but it didn't last. Need to send it off to Omega or a specialist.
re: Ford Fatham Midsize EV Truck

For a commuter EV truck, that is pretty solid looking IMO.
I do wish they'd stop with the solid front face grill. I know there's no engine that needs air, but they could be more creative with that.
I think this will do much better than the Lightning. Most people either tow with a 1/2 ton or can't convince themselves that they never actually will. This scares people from the electric full size. Most small truck buyers are honest with themselves that they will never tow and an EV makes sense in that format.
I have a raptor and a couple sports cars. Earlier this year my MIL was looking to unload her 2013 corolla. I picked it up for a decent price, put a new CarPlay unit in it from Amazon and did a full-service on it. It's been a great runabout/airport car for us. 30+mpg on 87 gas. It's nice enough that everything works but crappy enough to not care about its cosmetics. Park it on the street or in the smallest spot. I keep impeccable care of our cars but it's been nice having a care free car to not worry about. The bad is it really does feel like a tin can lol and can barely get out of its own way. I imagine someone will come along we know in desperate need for a car and I'll upgrade a bit.

re: Mandeville bans bicycles from trailhead

I think the trailhead is just the immediate area surrounding the old depot that has a lot of foot traffic.
They can’t ban bikes from the trace itself.
Yes it's mainly the covered area, the splashpad and the little concert area.
Kids riding bikes through the splash area while little kids are there. Kids riding E bikes through there very fastly, jumping the berm behind the "ampitheater" etc. There has been a crackdown on kids and E bikes in the area and the trace. Kids riding 30 ish mph and passing close to slower bikes and runners.
