not quite. Go to Sno*Drift and watch all of these AWD guys crawl around. The reason your picture looks so bad ass is long Swedish studs in those tires. Studs are not allowed in most states and even when they are, it’s only the short ones.

anything that is purely dedicated winter tire will amaze you. Unless you’re really picky, you’ll be happy even with the cheapest winter tire. All of them have trade offs: slush traction, packed snow traction, deep snow traction, dry winter traction, wear, rolling noise, fuel economy. You will not have a tire that does…

Screw the Chrysler and Fiat. More important question is, what does this mean to the Citroen WRC team?

that’s a Renault which is not PSA brand. 

that’s odd. I’ve had 2006 MINI and now I have 2015 GTI and on both cars you only needed a caliper retraction tool that allowed you to screw the piston in rather than push it in but nothing else was needed. 

agreed on Ken’s part. He’s a decent driver but it’s hard to take the Gymkhana stuff seriously when they get to film it over a whole day or two with multiple attempts at every stunt so that they can later stitch all of the cuts into one clip.

Ok, enlighten me how “learning” all of the tech operated driver assists makes me a better driver and not a worse one? If i’m attentive and can back out of a spot or parallel park without hitting anything on my own, how will these assists make me better? 

yes, that would be an ideal car. One thing missing: handbrake :) 

what sort of crazy car are you driving just so I know to stay away? 

but he wasn’t an F1 driver, was he. Also, I think Kubica did way better few years ago. He got WRC2 Championship title and when he transitioned to WRC he was very competitive in some rallies despite having pretty poor team.

I try to avoid dealers at all cost. They usually manage to screw something up even when performing a warranty repair/recall.

I had an MY2000 in the newer body that had those windows. It was a good fun car but bought it with 11k miles and at around 35k things started deteriorating in the suspension/steering area which was not a good sign. Got rid of it in 04 while it was still worth a few grand. 

Yes I know. Stupid auto correct on the phone ;) 

2004. In 2003 it was Peter ;) 

cool man, but what does this have to do with WRC and our new champion?

sure they are, but my other cars didn’t have and currently don’t have these problems and the driver characteristics remained the same ;)

I guess this project being only a 1/3 of the way to the place where “space” really starts, shouldn’t really have “space” in it’s name. I mean, people have jumped from almost double the height of this “space satellite” floating altitude. 

same reason people buy Aveo and Cruze 

so did mine MY2002 WRX.... wait, no it didn’t.

I wanted to disagree as I don’t like Vettel, but can’. He’s pretty much spot on with the trophy and the mascot guy should stay out of the podium picture...
