What's on your Christmas list this year?
« on: December 01, 2012, 09:33:36 PM »
This year I hope Santa brings me an IR thermometer with a 10:1 spot and a TPMS learn tool for the car.

If you put a deposit down on something for the sky,
does that count as being on your wish list?

CanTire had one that would have worked (had appropriate range) super cheap recently.  Almost bought one for the same reason ;)  But I'm thinking about treating myself to my laser "jammers" in a few months and putting away a jammer-fund lately.

5-in-1 Multimeter that also reads frequency & duty cycle AND luminance (for my LED projects ;) )

But that GM tool looks pretty cool, Bob.  Just found out my Sol has the "lost TPMS learn" fault - 2 months AFTER my 3/36 expired.  Agggh.

So that tool prevents you from having to walk around the car and letting air out of the tires to identify which sensor is where?

Yeah, but it's a software problem!  Needs to be reflashed with a fix, I hesitate to take it in to the dealer, but they *might* do it for free (where's that 'flying pigs' icon?)

Dave NO,  I think that means it is already yours and partly paid for . The Wish List is hoping somebody else makes the rest of balance Due Paid for.  Either way you'll get it .     :knock:          :thumbs:

Manual. Was thinking of dropping her off at DDM for the long winter and doing a huge build project, but alas, I cannot live without her. Way to much fun to drive in the snow. LOL!

Ok, after fooling around and teasing other owner here is my only wish for this Christmas:
To be allowed to drive it in future safely and not to be afraid of big fines or impound :(

OK
That only eliminates the need to change the air pressure, you still have to walk around the car.

Not really worth it for me, as when I have put new RIMS on the sky, I need to make sure the tires have the right amount of pressure when they are mounted on the car.

We got plenty of dry roads here but only a few winding ones. And most of the winding ones are in the  state or federal parks system so the speed limits are low...  :mad:
