I was leaning towards valves, maybe just springs, myself... provided the head gasket is sealed properly as he seems to think.

Only a few times, just so I know what it’ll do and to show a couple buddies what the vehicle is like so they at least know if they ever consider acquiring the vehicle.

Probably for a good reason.

Put ‘em behind the wheel. Let them drive both products and ask them how it feels on the same track.

It’s...appealing. I’ve been impressed with the blend of luxury and performance you get out of Acura and I do like that captain’s chairs in the second row deal. The middle seat is generally useless, I think everyone can agree.

Yeah...well, they should know anyway. It is not a great marketing stance, but if you can sit back and say we’ve got all this talent and engineering and we still can’t improve a product from 20 years ago, it speaks volumes about how the project is being managed.

Yup. I mean, I support Stef’s position here, as well...even the “non-necessity” of taking it to the ‘Ring. Take a comfy luxury car and run it around the lap once. Not to try and break any records, but just to see how it feels...if there’s understeer you’ll find it on that course....if it’s got a weird vibration or…

And...now that I think about it, the Durango runs AWD, too. Now, it’s not big horsepower, but it’s got a substantial tow rating and a decent amount of torque. My buddy bought his used and it has been treating him well.

Weren’t they developing an AWD setup for the Challenger?

Take your #COTD nomination.

Agreed. The Camaro is an outstanding value.

It’s not a law, as far as I can tell. More of a guideline. It did used to be written that the right lane was first or second, left lane third or fourth...if I’m recalling correctly....it does make me feel better if people in the right lane are just turning, but it does work if they don’t.

Huzzah!

You can. You could also stay in the right lane all the way around the traffic circle, if you wanted to, but our handbook states that “drivers planning to travel past the first exit should use the left lane.”

That is the beauty of traffic circles, you only have to look one way to watch for your opening.

I was navigating for my father when we took a route that he’s not familiar with through the city, a route that now includes a two lane, five exit roundabout. My directions to him were clear, but he was still hesitant on his entry because he wasn’t able to see exactly where he was going. So he approached, kinda did a…

Well....you can enter in the inside lane....but your initial yield is to any traffic in the circle anyway...so they shouldn’t be in your way because they’re already past you when you enter, even if they are taking your exit.

Yeah....you can’t mix it up like that. Two lanes or one lane, you must choose.

Ok....to start with, you use the left lanes to enter when you’re exiting at the second, third, or fourth exit. If you’re taking the first exit, you use the right lane.

The ‘rule’ is if you’re in the right lane, you must be exiting. People who break this rule run the risk of being plowed into by folks exiting from the left lane, they have the right of way as soon as they signal their intention to exit. It actually works if everyone understands the basic rules and grabs the…
