    Custom Rhino Rack For Sale

    These racks are custom fit to the MS roof latch, with a snug fit and key locks. I kept them installed for 2 years through multiple car washes and 4 Chicago seasons without any lossening or noise. I sold the paddle boards and no longer need the rack. $200 plus shipping costs and they're yours...

    Firmware 5.12

    I was updated to 5.12 at the Highland Park SC today. The release notes remain unchanged. It starts the same as the other recent updates by explaining that it adds minor enhancements, then explicitly repeats the prior release notes.

    Opti-Coat Pro North and West Suburbs

    I strongly recommend Chicago Auto Pros. Their shop is in Glen Ellyn, but one of the managers lives in Skokie at Edens and Touhy, and he swapped cars with me. I'm in Deerfield. So, Greg met me at Lake Street in Wilmette on Sunday, and I took his Miata for the day. I picked my car up in Skokie...

    Magnetic Sign Work Around Ideas?

    I've been borrowing my brother's convertible (911) for our July 4th parade. This year, I'd like to drive my MS. However, the magnetic sign that identifies me (as a thankless volunteer on the local board) won't stick to her. Duct tape isn't entirely appealing. Someone on here has to have a great...

    Cruise Control Disabled

    2 days in a row, I attempted to use cruise control and got a message along the lines of, "Cruise control disabled. Restart car to enable." Yesterday, I had the problem on my outbound leg. I tried again on my return leg and all was normal. All else is fine and there really isn't any meaningful...

    Charging problem after FW 4.3? Or a faulty UMC?

    Short Version: My car wasn't charging. SKip ahead. I go to fellow owner's place whose charging was error free. After trouble shooting my problem with his 14-50 and his chord, we try his car with my chord and then his car with his chord. Now neither car will charge. Long Version: i picked up...

    Hey Neysayers

    Lets imagine we're in the early 1900s, there are no paved roads, no gas stations, and you've just been introduced to the Model T. What do you think? It sure is difficult to travel as far as you can by horse and buggy. Food for the horse is everywhere and the bumpy roads aren't a problem. So, do...

    Lets hear from the 60kwh owners

    I've been told to expect my 30 day email for my 60kwh/Air any day now. I need some good stories to tide me over. I know a few of the 60s have been delivered, but so far, you haven't written much about performance. I don't expect you to have the ability to give actual performance stats against...

    Press on growth of Ev's/Obstacles

    Not news to anyone here, but interesting how the world sees it: Chicago Tribune Why plug-ins don't charge up buyers Every weekday, Chevrolet Volt owners jockey to hook up their cars to the two electric-vehicle charging stations in front of General Motors' Renaissance Center headquarters in...
