Thanks Mark. This actually happened somewhat close to you. On 787 near the Green Island exit. Pulled off the highway and onto the ramp where I pulled off to the side of the road. It was cold and I'd never checked the pressure in the donut since I bought the car, so I called AAA, rather than attempt a tire change in the cold.

An observation from being on automotive forums for years: photography skill is inversely proportional to the value of your car. Lurking on sites like FChat, the pictures from owners are generally pretty bad. Lots of lazy iPhone snaps in harsh sun and awkward angles. Any kid with an Evo or lowered Civic puts these 1%'ers to shame when it comes to the real important part of being a car guy--seeking validation online from strangers.





Grass is for cows, not cars. This guy with the $300k 488 couldn't even be bothered to shut his fuel door, lol.

That CRX looks clean. You are right, the 488 does look odd on the grass. Didn't even notice the open fuel filler until I read your post. You've got an eye for detail.

If anyone has the forum bookmarked, I think they changed the URL. Use this https://www.s2ki.com/forums/new-york...000-owners-67/
