Indeed. If your minimum tire is $200 and you can get up to $500 tires, you’re driving a car that has at least some performance or premium aspect to it, and you probably have a size and aspect ratio that’s not available for the cheap tires I’m talking about. I’m talking about the folks who have an A-to-B commuter car…

I bought a Saab with a set of Hakkas on it. People rave about them but they were the crappiest set of tires I ever owned. When I went to replace them, I realized they were seven years old and hard as a rock. I will never go over five years on a set of tires after that experience.

Exactly. I will never for the life of me understand how people can just slap the cheapest set on their car when they need new tires. The only thing keeping you on the road are those four little patches of rubber. You can generally find something half decent for not much more than a set of discount tires, just have to…

I live in New York as well. NYC metro. Almost every theater has switched to these recliners with power footrests now.

I don’t buy GM vehicles anymore, but every Chevy and Saab I ever owned I sold either close to or over 200k miles, and mostly because I just wanted something else. That said, my coworker with a 2012 Civic with 80k miles just came into work yesterday complaining about a $1500 bill at the dealer because his oil pump…

To be fair, somehow I totally missed the numbers too and was only focusing on the ridiculous reverse location.

I live on Long Island, grew up in New England where pretty much the only thing you could get was Greek style pizza - buttery and crispy pastry type crust, mix of mozerella and cheddar all the way to the edges, sweet tomato pastey sauce... I miss it. Here, the sauce is bitter, there isn’t enough cheese on the pizza, it…

I loved it too. This season, I guess I went in with expectations too high.

I enjoyed the first season for it’s plodding quirkiness, and the second season did a great job building the tension while ramping up the pace a bit, which was welcomed.

Yeah, the proportions are all just way off. I love the design of the Grand Cherokee, the new Compass (although I think it needed wider stock tires), and the new Cherokee, but this just looks weird.

I remember my dad talking about how he had to order the oil and volt gauges in his 1976 CJ-5 because it didn’t come with them. I also believe the back seat was extra, as were the roll bars. Just about everything was an option.

I like the “Tamper-resistant odometer.” I wonder how much more the “Tamper-proof” ones were?

Manual options these days seem to only be offered on the “base” models of automobiles, as if the only reason Americans drive manuals is to save some money. Start looking for something in “Limited” trim, and the manual isn’t an option with any vehicle. I looked at the Fiat 500X and the Jeep Renegade at one point, both…

I miss my 9-5's, and driving for hours with no pains, still being fully alert. Nothing else I have driven comes close to my Saabs when it comes to comfort and alertness over the road.

Recently had the 6-cyl AWD model as a loaner when our Grand Cherokee was in for an accident. I’ve been in worse cars, but with all the options out there, yeah, I guess incentives must be very attractive. But I guess if you can get the 8.4" Uconnect and leather, it would make it almost liveable. The third row is…

I used to think every dishwasher loaded pretty much the same. Nope. Our 10 year old KitchenAid (Whirlpool) crapped out in September for the last time - I’ve replaced too many parts in it already, it was time to just get another one. We went for a Samsung because it was on sale, stainless tub, efficient & quiet. How…

My 2014 Grand Cherokee was bought back by Chrysler. Something about a loose ground caused some surge to the PCM. Nothing ever worked right after that and I just had a rolling series of failures until I turned it in. Went to Honda for three years before I had the stones to try again (my wife and kid use the GC mostly,…

As bad as Jeeps can be, they pretty much have the power locks and windows figured out.

Was gonna ask that. The most wonderful thing about my Jeep is being able to take the top off or put it down.

Unfortunately, HR departments these days exist solely to manage salary & benefits, hiring, etc. and everything else aside from that is done to protect the COMPANY, not the employees. Many of us learn this lesson far too late. But good on IGN for (being forced to) step up.
