I’ll have to check that out; I’m going in for my 40,000 mile service soon on my ‘16 TRDOR 4x4. 

I wished that feature was carried over into the Tacoma. 

Unless it is a very heavy storm, the rain isn’t enough to darken the sky to turn on the automatic headlights - my Tacoma and my wife’s Subaru still requires us to manually turn it on. I personally do not think turning on lights is a particularly major inconvenience, but it would seem reasonable to turn on given that a…

Of all of the manufacturers, FCA seems to offer the greatest collection of color options. You can get cars in yellow, orange, purple, green, different shades of blues and reds - it’s actually pretty refreshing given the monotony of colors usually seen .

To be fair, the green looks great on the A4. It’s muted, but still has enough color to add a bit of pizzazz, especially with the nougat brown interior.

Window tint is necessary for newer cars, but personally I hate the look on classic cars.

I like the idea of the car, but there are too many issues with this particular one to consider it.

I think it would be fun to see someone document the repairs done to spruce up the Lexus once it hits a million miles - something like the Peter Monshizadeh articles.  

I know that the E36 is not the best performing m3, but it sounds the best of the bunch, looks great, and was the benchmark in its day. It’s also the one I would want to have.

It helps to justify why we should dig in Alaska. 

Their market has been on fire lately.

The current version of UConnect seems to be regarded as actually one of the best interfaces currently available. I thought it was pretty decent myself.

Thanks for the comment. I test drove a scatpack for fun a few months ago, and liked it a lot more than I expected - I have been trying to talk myself out of it since.

My favorite go-to mod is usually an exhaust upgrade. It is certainly not the greatest performance modification, but it opens up the engine sound enough to offer a more visceral experience that makes the everyday drive more fun. It’s enjoyable when you can roll down the windows, turn off the radio, and just hear the…

How do you like your Scat Pack?

The letters do not take the entire sidewall. That said, the sidewall is far taller than the low profile tires on sports cars. 

I have the white BFG letters facing out on my Tacoma, and I think it looks great. I agree that the painted letters that say random things or the car model are silly, but the tire brand is fine in my opinion.  

Like plenty of other laws, states are able to take the national environmental laws and provide more stringent requirements to address their more local needs. The same thing applies to the Endangered Species Act and how the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has their own list of state-protected animals.

Big Bear/San Bernardino National Forest is a great area to off road, and has a wide variety of easy to difficult trails, which can be enhanced when there is snow on the ground as well. I disagree that Big Bear only has mediocre restaurants though; we went to Oakside restaurant recently and it was good.

The NHTSA investigation for the Pinto happened more than a decade AFTER this concept; the Pinto was not even in production at the time of this concept, debuting 6 years later.
