Exactly!

As I've said for a long time; your car, your money. You choose to utilize them as you wish (in some cases contingent upon spousal approval...LOL). You want a garage queen; your prerogative...you want a track rat; your choice. If someone wants to criticize your car; tell them to go F themselves. I know one thing for certain; when all is said and done, you can't take any of this with you.

Drive them, personalize them, enjoy them, and go create some wonderful memories.

I was hooked and my search for the right example started...
This really resonates with me!
Congratulations, and subscribed.

Exactly, not really the last Mezger. I would go for one of the other plates.

Default TPMS vs Gauge

So, I’m been trying to get my tire pressures set (29f, 33r). I have 2 longacre analog gauges, one inflator and another reg gauge. They are 2-3psi higher then the TPMS. Gauges shows 29/33 and TPMS reads 27/30. Which do you guys go by? Is this common with older TPMS units? Or maybe my gauges are the inaccurate....who knows
