    It sounds crazy, but you can't focus exactly where the wheel position is. Add on the fact that you're driving on the border of grip and no grip, and the car is sliding...you have no clue where "straight" is.

    So, the yellow tape is a bright indicator that attracts your eyes when you're driving ever so slightly so you know where straight is.

    Get it?

    Multiple times last auto-x I had no clue where my wheels were at. So hopefully this helps
    Let us know how that works

    on a side note....drove my ZHP 480 miles (most of it in the rain). Car still looks good even though I have road dirt to wash off....hopefully the weather will clear so I can give it a proper wash Right now looks like Thursday will be the day I detail my ride...

    Figured it had to do with "where are my wheels pointing right now?"

    Just sold my old, worn out wheel to Coby Wheel for $100. I need the quick cash, and I'm sure as hell no one else would wanna buy a totally worn alcantara wheel. I make some money, he makes a profit in the end, good deal

    Replaced the fuel filter myself last Friday. Was going to have my mechanic do it because I hate the idea of getting sprayed with gasoline, but the day I walked in (without an appointment) he was busy, so I figured I should do it at least once in my life. I pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked 'till it died, so there wasn't any pressure in there, but the fuel return line dripped a lot into the drain pan. It was dripping so fast, I gave up the idea of replacing the hose clamps so I could get the hoses onto the new filter as quickly as possible, then re-used the old hose clamps. Some notched plastic prybars eased removal of the lines from the old filter.

    Then a plastic water jug with about 8 oz of dirty gasoline sat on my back patio for 4 days until I could run it to the local hazmat recycling center. I was hoping it wouldn't spontaneously combust.
