Just here to spread your negativity, huh? You’re the prototypical ‘new jalop’.

I was wondering why all the roads around my condo were closed a few months back, at least it was for something cool. 

This is the correct way to shop for tires.

I’m 47. Just thought I’d say that.

lol I remember buying the Yokohama A539s and AD05/AD06 Neovas for that very reason. Tread pattern was super cool.

I am 38 and have those tires, can confirm they look cool. Beyond that they are rated for dry, wet and winter... the rare tire trifecta. I live in Wisconsin and they have been better than my previous set of winter tires (not cool) this time of year.

I would buy the Michelins because they have a cool looking tread, I am 41.

I’m going through basically a real world test of this right now. My Mazda CX-5 has reasonably new Fallen Pro v5 CUVs, while my partners Ford Escape has fairly new CrossClimates. Both are all wheel drive.

I’m hoping the ITS with its higher starting price and luxury badge curbs the markup market we’ve grown accustomed to and hate. Obviously, Honda will be making more of the CTR/ITS platform and I’m all for it because more of them means people can hopefully get their hands on them without markup. Well, in theory anyway.

Not only is this a great use case for EVs (since these will return to a home base to charge each night and generally won’t see >200 miles each day), but it goes well with the ethos and image of the forest service. I’m here for it.

If the CTR is $43K, this ITS is going to be at least $50K to start. Wild, wild times we live in.

Got here after the what nonsense comment, but I was really hoping they would put a dual clutch transmission in the Integra. As in option it would make it competitive in the market and differentiate it from the Civic type R but that’s just my humble opinion, I’m prepared for folks to come with pitchforks and torches. 

What complete nonsense are we going to find to complain about on this one, hmm?

My body is ready.

On the Audi one, I would have told the shop “no, I didn’t find a diagnostic tool...but I have one I’ll sell ya for $900".

I bought my used 135i with the n55 motor, and a common issue is an oil leak from the oil filter housing gasket. My car lost some oil on the 17 hour drive from where I bought it, so I brought it to my local shop that works on imports, letting them know I think it’s the OFHG. They say the OFHG isn’t really actively…

My one rule of thumb when it comes to repairs NEVER take it to the dealer unless it’s under warranty. Find an honest independent repair shop, I know not always easy, and use them. Generally IMO if you go to an independent shop and they tell you x y and z neer repairs, but then tell you well just fix y and x and z…

“I mis-navigated a corner in a residential neighbourhood.”

I just remembered my worse story. Senior year of college and I had a Fiero 2M4 that I got cheap because it didn’t have AC and had frozen rear brakes. Once I fixed the brakes, the car was perfect.

Meanwhile, are diesel prices going to achieve parity with gasoline?
