You sure have an understanding wife to be doing this in your driveway :)

Aahh!!!!!! DON'T RICE UP THE GT-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right- what the presenters usually do is drive the GT-R with the stock wheels into the show area, use jacks and put on the 23" wheels. They don't actually drive around in the 23s. The ECU will know it has the wrong wheels on the car and display errors like crazy.

If I do burnouts in my new car till the transmission fails, does it mean the manufacturer should cover the repair?

Hello Helio, here's your slice of humble pie.

How exactly will this stop thieves who use flatbed trucks or tow trucks to steal vehicles? The vehicle will be off.

There is cost in accelerated starter and engine wear. According to the diagram, it appears the starter assists the engine during a restart after a stop. That leads to increased starter wear and tear. Also, a stopped motor means no oil is pumping. Oil starts to sink towards the oil pan (albeit slowly) when the engine is stopped. This leads to slightly greater wear on the engine during the restart. Although the wear may be minimal, it is definitely not trivial as this type of restart system could add thousands of additional restarts in the life of the car.

I'm sure the market will soon flood with "09 Acura RL Grille kit" on eBay and the like.

Torque steer up the wazoo.

The real question is how many miles per gallon does it get? 3mpg? 4?
