• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Anyone use Hydro Silex?

    I use it on my RT. I might have been expecting a bit too much out of it. I will probably redo everything and replace with Colinite.

    Something to carry my dog in???

    We have a 30 lb cocker spaniel. I haven’t settled on a solution yet but the two trailers that seemed the best were the Bushtec Tow Tow and the WAGS trailer. Both are made to order. Prices start around $3500 and go up as you add options. That is one reason we haven’t bought yet. Takes anywhere...

    Cleaner Recommendations

    For wheels and tires I use Super Clean 4:1 distilled water:super clean. Let dwell for several minutes but don’t let it dry. Never attempt to clean wheels when they are hot. Use a wheel brush on the spokes if you have one, otherwise a dedicated microfiber towel. Use a brush on the tires to get...

Quality built although you have to be mindful of scraping the underside when loading, depending on...

    Great deal on 2018 Spyders

    No but I prefer to keep my financial dealings more personal. I will say I saved a LOT (many $$$$). Well worth the 2 hour drive.
