rather than start a new thread, figured i would ask here. Noticed this morning that when i'm at a complete stop in drive (only) i hear this subtle small rattling sound on the passenger side towards the front. The rattling isnt like metal clinking though. I didnt hear it once i started moving or in any other gear...anyone have a similar problem/know what could be going on?

I also get a similar vibrating/rattling sound if I leave a partially empty water bottle in the passenger's side door cup holder. Oddly it doesn't make the same noise when I use the driver's side door cup holder.

Here, this is what I'm talking about. The camera flash actually made the center more light in color than the surrounding gunmetal. In reality, they're pretty closely matched, just that the vinyl isn't metallic.
No matter how you cut it (no pun), a solid center looks better than the silly screenprinted text.

Recently I've been putting a new suspension on my Porsche. I had originally thought my major issue was the lower ball joint until I got the suspension apart and discovered one of the control arms bushings was completely separated from the housing. Suffice it to say, I've now purchased replacement bushings and joints for the entire suspension and steering so I can do a complete overhaul on the suspension and steering.

Figured I'd post this from a recent meet/BBQ we had (the one Rochester came to last year )
Hoping someone comes out with a better vid, but this will do for now. (not mine)

I cannot believe people were blowing donuts in a field.... and that one G owner didn't realize he'd get hung up backing out"?
Show me the picture of John blowing donuts last year

The mud drifting was so dumb... the Scion FRS completely mangled his new splitter, one Z ripped off his rear diffuser. Two years ago, someone broke a wheel lol. The disclaimer from the host before you enter that field is "if you break your ****, it ain't my problem".
That dude backing into the spot tried like 10 different angles. Thats was his best attempt lol. Ended up fine. Static life... lol

Watching those kids "drifting" in that little fenced-in area was one of the most irresponsible things I've ever seen people do with cars they profess to care about. That was the thing I didn't understand. You do that kind of crap with a hooptie, not a lovingly modified car.
I simply didn't understand what was going on. But hey, I'm old, so...

Yup. I was just surprised to see the older guys hit the dirt. This year overall, the turnout was a lot younger. A lot more riced out cars than before, but at the same time, quite a few more properly done cars. 8 forced induction cars that were N/A last year.
