    Indiana Tesla owners and future owners

    The service center has been "Coming Soon!" for a couple of years now. Literally. It was on the map when I bought my car... I've since had my 12-month and 24-month services performed out of state. I've heard the gamut of rumored and failed locations. Vague and oblique hints are all the gallery...

    Plasti-Dip on standard 19-inch wheels?

    Nice. Did you remove them to spray them, or mask and spray on the car?

    Indianapolis Cars And Coffee

    (bump) Anyone else planning on attending? There was a pretty big attendance last year, but we'll see with this year's weather. I've done the tour before, and it's interesting seeing their production facility.

    Indianapolis - Tesla Store Keystone Mall open 12/13

    There are six Tesla parking spots in the garage over by Saks. (I would have preferred the garage closer to the movie theater, but they didn't ask my advice :)) This is the garage on the east side of the mall, entering off of River Crossing blvd. The spots are on the ground floor, on the NW...

    Indianapolis - Tesla Store Keystone Mall open 12/13

    Welcome to Indiana Way to go, Indiana. Let's make sure the stores selling items that bring in sales tax in the $thousands are closed for half of the weekend. While I was there, I saw at least 6 people come up to the window to take a look.

    Best Car in The Doctor's Lot

    ... another Rad here. There are two MS in my group, but we're the only ones in the whole hospital. I'm sure all the docs think the rads are making too much! BTW, I think you'd be surprised how much the MR techs make. They are only surpassed by the specials techs.

    8/3 - Indy to Normal SC lunch trip

    I will not be able to attend. The scheduling is too tight for my comfort, and we've had a school event come up as well. We need to have a GTG closer to Indy. Maybe a drop-in to a Cars and Coffee? Scott

    Driving shoes for autocross / lapping

    Hmm. I like those. Too bad they're gone... I hadn't heard that. I have a 10 yr old pair of Piloti, and they are a comfortable shoe. The curved heel is great for driving, and fine control. The pair I have also has a built up sole on the side of the right foot for heel and toe. Not really...

    Adjustable Suspension: What are the yellow thingies?

    Those are external reservoirs for the dampers. They are probably filled with nitrogen, which is compressed with the downward stroke of the piston. The valves in these kinds of dampers are outside the piston chamber, which allows them to be adjusted.
