Unless it's a co-worker. Then you need to have a face-to-face chat and understand WTF their motive is.

Just reminded me of the time I shoveled 3' of snow (living in NoVa) out of our reserved parking space so my pregnant ex-wife could pull in after work...Some a-hole pulled in our stall before she got home and stayed all night. A pebble under the cap was all I needed to satisfy my rage.

GETTING OLD S***S, but it beats the alternative!

Avatar “may” be appropriate.

Gotta be careful these days, cameras are everywhere. I do like the pebble under the cap idea though...no tools needed!

Dense person here, pebble under what cap? Valve stem? to slowly let out air?

^^^ removing the valve stem will very quickly let all air out of the tire and will render it useless (no valve stem=no hold air)

New rings

Before

And after. I think it makes the gauges look way better.

I have the same gauge cluster in Aluminum but lack the trim rings, looks better to me. Do you have a good link for the ones you bought? How much?

I keep going back and forth on the mats, they look good but I like the carpeted ones as well.

Here is another option - for a retro look. Had them for about six months and they are holding up well. No interest in the company just a satisfied customer. Also put their nylon mats in my BMW - they are super sturdy and fairly easy to clean, but not as easy as the factory winter mats.
