Well if I win the lotto this weekend, I promise to grab my 2012 V6 Mustang and give it the same treatment. I'll even do a Build Thread on Opposite Lock and a Mustang Forum that documents the whole process. Current baseline is 13.88 @ 102mph so that should be interesting!

Finally some common sense!

I'm keeping that one for future reference!

Hah! Fair point regardless even though you agree.

This. The rear visibility out back my 2014 mazda3 is atrocious. I'm glad I have that feature in there and my dad's billion foot long 2010 f-150. And this is coming from someone who never had issues in the past backing up without one.

The way temperature affects various compounds is good enough in my book to use different tires for different seasons. rubber compounds to weaken and lose their intended properties a LOT faster when they operate in temperature ranges outside of their intended design. Especially if this causes wild temperature…

That's exactly what I was thinking while watching the video. Also that I have still much to learn in regards to proper racing lines.

Europe also uses tractor trailers and diesel powered large cargo vans to move goods around. However odds are that the vans commonly used by small independant businesses are mostly diesel in europe vs mostly gasoline in NA. The majority of our GM and Ford based vans and the smaller sprinters and transits are gasoline…

Sorry Michael but I prefer this:

It's probably a good thing then, that north american markets have very low Diesel adoption rates.

The "commission Charbonneau" was dearly needed and several decades overdue. The massive cleanup this will do in the end will benefit every one and every single public service sector in the province. Assuming it works as intended.

I can vouch for blizzaks. I pretty much forced my dealership to give me those for free on my 2014 mazda3. By far the best winter tire I have ever driven on. You should look into downsizing the width of your wheels. Unless you plan on using all 300+ HP, you wont need 295 wide tires. Heck the narrower wheels will help…

The streets aren't just sideways in Montreal bud. In Gatineau, even the damn highway has a sideways incline thats severe enough you have to counter-steer in a brand new, perfectly aligned car. It's even worse if you have a sports car that has a wheel and suspension setup that makes the steering want to follow road…

Seems like there are a lot of Ottawa jalops! I commute to Ottawa daily from Gatineau and the "slows down to a crawl" part is pretty much par for the course on both sides of the river as soon as it gets remotely cloudy outside. I agree that winter emergency driving classes should be mandatory. Our driving schools are…

Honestly, anyone from my family as well as friends of mine in Ontario can vouch for the difference winter tires make. Even with stricter driver training, driving is a skill, not an instinct. It still amazes me how we all agree that not everyone is made to be a math wiz or an all star athlete but we assume a huge…

Reminds me of my purchasing experience for my new Mazda3 a few weeks ago. The Finance Manager was trying to sell me on the extended warranty, talking about all the advanced electronics in modern cars. I stopped him right there and told him: "I'm going to stop you right away and save you the pain of being told no after…

I cried of laughter.

Sorry, read that article yesterday and I still have no sympathy. Mostly all poor excuses and false assumptions. I live in Canada, the great white north with lots pf snow and ice in winter so I can safely refute a lot of these claims:
1)geography is a poor excuse. I live in a geographical zone called the Canadian…

Good god, my friends know me for my constant dirty references. but you just outdid me big time. I wanna bro-fist you so hard!

Ill fight the first point. From experience and witnessing my own close friends. American cars may be great value but the reliability aspect is shoddy as hell. I have a 2012 mustang and i've had my rear sway bar replaced twice and ended up going aftermarket for a permanent solution after number 3 screwed up. Had to…
