2024 Car Shows/Meets In The Midwest/East USA?
I would like to attend some large scale car shows/meets this year. Are there any planned shows or meets in the midwest or eastern USA for 2024? I'm willing to drive a 6-8 hour radius from Cleveland, OH. It would have to be either on a Saturday or Sunday. -

Interesting new Tire website I came across
https://www.bestusedtires.com/ For the tires that I searched in the sizes that my cars use, the prices are extremely fair, sometimes in the buyer's favor. They also claim free shipping with Fedex, which is beyond me as I have no idea how they're making a profit. So, a set of 7-8/32nd tread...- Alin

Manual Oil Extractor/Pump
I bought this mainly out of curiosity. The claim was that this device makes oil changes exceptionally simple and easy to perform. Other reviews stated that it extracts roughly 95% of the oil out of the engine, which sounded adequate enough for me. This was literally the easiest oil change I... -
Is this a byproduct of increased rotational mass?
Rim weights only: The stock 15" rims on my TDI weigh ~17 lb. (195/65R15 tire mounted on.) The current 17" rims that I have mounted weigh ~23 lb. (225/45R17 tire mounted on.) I haven't measured the actual weights with tires on a scale, but let's compare just the rims' weights for the sake of...- Alin

The Overall Diameter of Rims, Their Advantages, and Their Disadvantages
Why are car manufacturers deciding to increase the diameters of the rims they equip their vehicles with? I understand the reasoning when it comes to clearing brake calipers on performance oriented models. However, a car that can have 16" rims mounted on due to small calipers should not need to...- Alin

What is the proper way of getting inside a vehicle?
I've seen two different ways: 1) Insert leg first, then sit down 2) Sit down with legs outside of vehicle, then move legs into vehicle I personally do number 1. I don't understand how number 2 works exactly. You're ruining the side bolster and bottom of the seats with excessive wear and tear...- Alin

Type RA, S209, and different oil compared to the standard STi
This is old information, but I've only stumbled upon it now... How is it that STI (and not Subaru) recommends 5W-40 oil in the Type RA and S209, whereas the standard STi models are still 5W-30? Shouldn't this change the entire scope of the lineup and apply this to the standard STi as well...- Alin
