Perfection is the enemy of progress, Mike.
Yes, that's true. Just never got into that habit, for some reason.

Yeah, I've recently found out another perk with having the tech package, it has automatic recirculation. It will automatically detect most foul smells and switch from fresh air to recirculation, and it will do the same with warming up the car. I leave my settings on 70 and have the HVAC on auto as well as the auto recirculation and it actually warms up my car a lot quicker. It recirculates until the cabin reaches the optimum temp then switches back to fresh air.
Plus did you know if you turn your radio off you can turn it back on by hitting the source button on the steering wheel?
Completely agree, I love the way they look.

NICE little easter egg feature there! I did not know about that. Thank you sir!
Question...what does the tech package have that it detects foul smells from the outside? I have everything but the tech package. I do like how the car manages the heat when it's cold outside. It doesn't blow air until it's warmed up, which is one of those small touches, but it's nice.

Anyone besides Rochester running the Hawkshead shorty valve stems?
One, maybe two, of my TPMS units crapped out so I had some time on my hands to cruise the interwebs. I'm thinking the shorty stem would look a bit nicer on my wheels. $48 for 4 doesn't seem bad.

That said, I'd rather they were shorty stem pieces on the OEM TPMS. This whole adapter thing is clever, but based on having one fail, it seems kind of a sledgehammer solution to a more simple problem.

Understand that they aren't shorties, per se. They're *adapters* with a shorter length stem. The OEM TPMS is still there in full, stem included. It's just on the inside, is all.

I don't dig the carsmo *****.
They don't match with anything (trim) nor make any contrast with the rest of dashboard buttons, so therefore I like the OEM ***** better which flow better with the rest of the dashboard buttons.

I like the stock ***** too. They have a good bit of tactile tackiness. I also like the way they taper.
However, the Carsmo ***** look better, and I really like the weight they provide. I got then for the weight primarily, then for looks (function over form)

Speaking of the free spinning ***** I was having the same issue as well after the temps dropped. Primarily with the upper two *****. I was going to try and fix them but noticed when I pulled them out just a centimeter or two they had grip again.
Perhaps having the ***** seated all the way down on the core is causing the free spinning issue?
If they ever free spin, I suggest giving a little tug on them and when they start to grip again you're good to go.
