Im on my second set of altimax arctics.

I used to run Blizzaks in the winter - and yes, I had them on a separate set of (cheap-ish) wheels. They were awesome, and the two sets of wheels were a game changer coming from having to get them mounted every changeover.

I also had an Accord coupe that was a real surprise in the snow.  I climbed a hill with six inches of snow sitting on it and passed two other guys who had attempted  it and stalled.  New snows and traction control powered my amazed ass up the hill like it was nbd.

I’ve had General AltiMax Arctics before, that’s a great tire for the money. I think they licensed the tread design from Nokian. 

Different size jugs and/or knots...?

So question: I know back in ancient times (2000s) AEM got in trouble with a part and the EPA/CARB made them disclose who bought them and then went after the people that bought said part and used it on a street driven vehicle.

For the Odyssey - I am guessing the comment was referring to the original Honda Odyssey, not the wagovan thing...

One of my HS classmates owned a Plymouth TrailDuster, which was a badge engineered Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth’s only ever SUV.

Car and Driver tested this many years ago even with cars with 400+ HP. The brakes on every single car they tested were strong enough to slow and stop a car with a stuck gas pedal. I don’t know if there is some software in this Pilot that doesn’t allow the brakes and gas to be used simultaneously, but if there is…

Oh I agree 100%. I should’ve clarified that the people who suggested these trucks are the ones that find them pointless. I’ve always felt that 95% of non-commercial full-sized truck owners in the U.S. don’t actually need a full-sized truck.

And yet the Ridgeline outworks most suburban trucks out there.. go figure.

Are you the six-fingered man?

First Gear: The media has GOT to stop equating “some dude skimming a few Google search results” and “scientists painstakingly subjecting a falsifiable hypothesis to experiment.”

GM took the license to the VM 2.8 diesel for the 2nd Gen Colorado.  Bumped up to 180hp / 370 ft/lbs.  I’ve got one in my ZR2, been a good little engine.  

The 2011 series “Alcatraz” did a Bullitt tribute chase scene in the San Francisco streets using a modern-day Charger and Mustang GT. They even threw in a green VW Beetle in the mix.

Or how about ending subsidies for the oil and gas industries that have been going for almost a century and are among the most profitable companies in the world?

They don’t think it actually makes the air cleaner. There are a couple of justifications. One is the belief that humans are not a factor in climate change (if they’re even willing to admit such a thing exists), and so by extension don’t see car emissions as a problem or negative factor that needs to be addressed.

The…

Or even “hey, we have a new propulsion method that is quieter, faster, requires much less maintenance, and you can “fill up” at home every night”

Regardless of which side of the “political aisle” you sit on, it is wild to me that there is a large group of people who are simply unwilling to accept anything that could improve the environment.
