I have one left over from a prior Vette, but it’s way too tall for the M2. I figured I could make one for myself, so I got one of these and a 12” x 12” piece of 1/8” plastic sheet on amazon.

If I attached the cup holder directly to the piece that was wedged under the trim it would have been way too low, so I attached another piece of plastic to the wedged piece and put the holder on that piece up where it’s useful.

I was in a hurry at work when I made it, so all of the cuts were done free hand with a jig saw. Some day soon I’ll make another one that actually looks as good as it works and post a few pics.

Today I installed the Zunsport center grille cover. Took all of 10 minutes.



And I still can’t figure out how to add a signature to my posts Does it show up after ????

I can see others, but I can’t make one of my own

Hover over your name top right, settings, then on left side you'll see "edit signature"

A few hours ago was the start to some decent snowfall here in the Twin Cities. I drove around town bringing my kiddo to karate and back. Car held really well on the main roads but some side roads were kinda slick- I don't mind traction control being my friend today.

I also noticed a message on the screen pop up saying something like "slippery road ahead in 200 feet" when I was on a side road. Sure as heck I go around a corner to find a very slippery spot with some snow accumulation. Also, got an "uneven road surface ahead" as I approached a railroad track the other day.

How does it know??

Most people are familiar with Waze type apps. If someone 10 minutes in front of you reports a speed trap, it tells you to slow down.

I’ve been wondering how connected the M2 really was. Most likely someone else on the same system recently hit that patch and engaged traction control enough to alert the AI overlords. Since they’re still pretending to be our friends, they alerted you of a slick spot

This happened to me too.

I actually still don't see the option to edit signature.

I joined, posted/replied to a handful of stuff...

...then saw the option to edit signature. Did so, and then I lost my posts and replies, and lost the button the edit signature.

Haven't seen it since. Am I on probation or something?

I’ve been playing with my sig and other info as I have time. So far it seems like everything is working as I’d expect it to now.

It may have to do whether you are on the app or on the website.

Yeah, I'm using the website on a laptop. I hardly ever use the app on the phone.

The weird thing, is that I didn't see that option at first, then it showed up and I started playing with it, and then it disappeared and haven't seen the option show up for me since.

Installed eventuri intakes. The install took me about 7 hours lol. Most of that time was spent on the turbo inlets and a trip to Home Depot! I always wanted them on my previous cars, but never bit the bullet until now.

Eventuri intakes always look so good, I just can't passed the price. Had an MST v2 on the supra, got a turner for the M2 (not installed yet, at least waiting until the break in is done). I am interested into seeing what you say about the sound though.

Nice! Inside the cabin with no music on, you can hear the swooosh sound. More so when WOT and above 3k rpms. Throttle response has also increased slightly. I’m enjoying them so far. Contact Mike from extreme powerhouse for a price.
