The Sonic that I've had for the last 3+ years has been sold. I had a strange affinity for this car, even though it let me down so many times. I have taken many awesome trips with it and have seen many places, so perhaps some of my affinity is a little sentimental. I'll miss that part. What I...

Hey all. So today, I was merging onto a freeway under boost in 4th (long ramp), and when I got off boost to gently tap the brakes to align myself with traffic, the pedal was rock hard for a brief moment. It went back to normal after a fraction of a second. I can replicate this condition...

I'm curious how to board pans out.

Hey guys - need some help if you're in the DFW area, have a motorcycle license and know basic motorcycle mechanics. So, I'm doing my endorsement this weekend and soon after I'll be buying my first bike. I'm shooting to buy this winter - not exactly sure on the exact dates. I want to buy...

The iPad/Tablet mount thread has me thinking. I'd like a nice mount for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I prefer to not have the mount clip to the air vents, and the windshield might be a bit too far of a stretch. Other ideas? What kind smartphone mounts have you guys used and liked in the Sonic?

Every day, even on my short commute I encounter oblivious, arrogant, inexperienced and overall incompetent drivers. This thread is for YOUR stories of such. Today, I was driving through my apartment complex on the way to work. All the sudden, a car pulls out of the parking stall right in front...

Alright, folks. Time has come to start research. I don't plan on buying until next year, but I want some ideas, as today I'm a complete motorcycle noob. I will be taking my courses sometimes in the next 6 months. So, help me with suggestions. Which bike is right for me? What should I...

So, let's talk about beards. Vote on the beard/facial hair style that you have. Post pictures if you want to share.

What's the longest you've driven non-stop? By non-stop I mean no stops to sleep - of course you'll stop for gas and bathroom breaks on the way. It doesn't have to be just in a Sonic, but in any car. My longest is somewhere between 960 and 1000 miles straight, on the way from DFW to norther...

Hey, folks. I've got a ton of paid time to burn this year and I'm looking for suggestions on what to do outside of what I've already got planned. Here are a few requirements and guidelines. Baseline criteria - I'm based in Dallas area - vacation span can be anywhere from a few days to a week...

Anyone wanna get together for a few beers? d.p. - 2WD trucks aren't welcome. :popcorn: ;)

Mods and everyone else. It's no news that there are a lot of spammers on the site lately. I have noticed that many are registered in other countries. As annoying as it has been, today SOF became NSFW; there was a spam post with nudity. This is a huge issue for all. A few suggestions: -...

Anyone out here using Uber or driving for them? For those that don't know, it's basically a business that employs other companies' drivers and private vehicles to act as taxis. In a nutshell, as a driver, you sign up, they give you an iphone to run as GPS and fare interface. You pick up...

I've looked at the SG's site and they don't list any GM codes to be added to the SGII to show oil pressure or temp. Do you guys know if it's possible on the SGII using X-Gauge? I recall someone talking about it here on this forum and I gathered it was possible, yet nothing was definitive.
