What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[ZSHO]

I finally installed my Continental Extreme DW Summer tires today and must say the overall ride quality is much better with a smoother ride and much more responsive steering wheel which also feels much tighter.  Z 

Sweet!!  I had those on my STSV and loved them.  What tires did you switch over from?

Goodyear Eagle SPORT ALL-SEASON.
I have had them for roughly two years now and have suited me quite well and is an overall great quality all season tire for the money and still have plenty of tread life left at 30k.

I'm happy has hell. Only drove 5 miles.  The ride is better, it's quieter....I'm one happy kid.  Square even fit on a 20x8.5 255/45/20.  I don't mind the PP spring rates now.

Renewed my registration... as per the recommendation of the very nice officer who also provided me a ticket as a reminder....

Keeping the car in the garage and rarely driving it has some pitfalls... like not paying attention to expiration dates...

Not sure if there are points for that violation...

 

[SHOdded]

Nowadays they seem to like to give fines rather than points for "lesser"/"non-violent" offenses, so they get less people fighting "the system".

I haven't had a ticket for anything in.... 12 years or so.... I was honestly shocked I was getting pulled over... as a matter of fact I knew she was behind me and was on my best behavior lol..

On a side note we talked for about 20 minutes or so about my SHO vs her PI.. she was pretty knowledgeable about it! She said she didn't want to give me a ticket but since she had run my plates it would have been an issue if she didn't... not sure how true that is but oh well...

 

[SHOdded]

They know if someone is on their best behavior, that someone is likely transporting drugs, weed at the very least especially if you drive a new Fusion.

@StealBlueSho maybe they put an ankle bracelet inside your Splint.
There watching us more ways than one.... It should not be any points IIRC. Z

 

[StealBlueSHO]

Ha! Probably did!! And yes.. I can't find the offense at the DMV for point identification... just a fine. Probably $150 or so...

How matted down was yours?  mine is bad since I got it 2 months ago.  Beed debating doing this, but not sure if it is savable given how it looks now.

Just a heads it's been years since I truly cleaned it. I was always worried to damage it. Use a white terry cloth and bolt or twist on the wheel. You can use something like this also, it's safe for Alcantara on the damp cloth. You can apply some decent pressure to it, at least i did.
It looks practically brand new. Better than the leather portions.

Basic damp cloth with warm water/soap treatment?

Pretty much, not sure if the Adams made that much of a difference. Just a mild soap should work too. Try to use a white terry cloth, it seems to work better than microfibre. It's also easier to see once you have finished pulling dirt from it.

Sonnax has a cleaner that works well on Alcantara.
