misconception. AWD is better in the snow, if you use the drive train for braking, rather than the brakes. Having driven AWD and FWD and RWD vehicles in Utah snow for 20+ years (and we are talking about depth ranges between .5" and 20" on roads here.), I promise you that. The problem is that most people DON'T know how…

AWD is not better in the snow. It does not help you stop better or handle better. It only helps you accelerate better. Snow tires help you stop, handle, and accelerate better. Ideally both are best, but snow tires are much cheaper and can be changed in less than an hour for free.

Two words: Bridgestone Blizzaks

It's all about money and nothing else in VA. Safety is a lie. I still haven't had a worse experience just driving than going through Virginia in terms of driving standards and lane discipline on the east coast. That includes Florida which is its own special hell.

I've encountered oil filters that needed to be filled with oil before reinstalling.

I think answer to my question for testing oil pump is to crank engine with valve cover off and seeing oil coming up.

I buy used cars only. It is a good test to run in the future to make sure I don't go buying new wheels for a tub of…

There are actually some good domestic products. All brands have their nuances, and once you get used to how a particular brand does their engineering, it makes it harder to switch brands.

What are you talking about? He didn't do anything intensive. Hell, he only did half the job. Wouldn't be surprised if the passenger side cylinder bank was just as fucked.

The way to learn is get your hands dirty. The internet is a wonderful resource for how-to guides. With Youtube, you can see most of the jobs actually being done.

The two dorks complement each other perfectly.

I was behind a guy in a Prius this week on my commute that had a bumper sticker that said "If you think this is slow, wait until I go uphill"

The Honda RC166. Soichiro's entry for the 1966 Isle of Man TT. 250cc DOHC inline-6. Nearly 20,000 rpm. If it wasn't for this bike and Honda's success on the island, you wouldn't have any of their performance cars today (well, up to the early 2000's)

Possibly one of the most important vehicles ever created. Good choice!

I'd have to say Triumph Bonneville. I'm not enough of a bike enthusiast to explain to you why; you'll just have to trust me.

Honda Super Cub, the best-selling vehicle in history.

The 1969 Honda CB750.

"Motorcycle"

Why is it that people who are not from the East Coast are seemingly incapable of properly flipping the bird? Just make a goddamn fist and then stick your middle finger up. How tough is that? Jesus....

The Allante cackles maniacally at your aversion to buttons:

Thanks for all this cool shit Audi, but really, you can go fuck yourself. If you can't get a water pump/piece of weatherstripping/headlight washers/ECU/dash electrical to work or prevent fatal carbon buildup within 10,000 miles of city driving on a 2011 S4, then I sure as fuck don't want to experiment with another…
