Yup, that's where I go to find out how tires compare. For pickups and station wagons (aka SUVs these days) I usually don't even bother with ones that aren't 3-peak rated. And when I do, for the wagons, it's generally the Conti DWS06 that gets bought. One thing worth mentioning, 2ndAmend, is...

Well, if I ran snow tires I could be changing them twice a day. Starting out at 20 or so degrees in the morning, the snows would be fine, but when it's 60-70 in the afternoon I'd have to stop and switch somewhere along the way. Of course, there are times when it doesn't reach 50 during the day...

Yep, made it to Levelland and back. Somehow. It was 104 degrees along the way. Of course, we hit 90 yesterday, which must be a record. At least I've never seen it that hot before.

When picking tires for most our vehicles I look up their snow and ice ratings on Tire Rack. Using tires based on low price has never worked well for me, except in applications like for trailers that never leave the property - and traction is not a consideration. Like with so many other...

I must've trained this girlfriend of mine right. Yesterday evening she went out to sit on the deck with a glass of champagne. I took for granted that she was looking at her new Audi RSQ8 that was delivered earlier in the day. Wrong. When she came back in I asked, and she said "No, I was...

This may not be the car for you, Magnified. Called my friend today to find out his current feelings about selling. Okay, so it has very low mileage and has always been in a climate controlled garage in Arizona, but... Basically, he doesn't want to lose money on it, somehow thinking they've...

Mine's still there. I know because I went into that garage today. Really need to drive the poor thing, it's been a while, and before it snows again. Of course, the other day when changing oil in the 1500 I noticed that I haven't put gas in that one in over year. Now that I can blame on that...

You're putting me on the spot here, Magnified. I've been talking him into keeping it. Do I do the right thing and keep telling him to keep it, or do I give some strange Texan his contact info? If you're serious, PM me and I may put the two of you in touch. For a fee, of course, since I feel...

They sure do. I'm looking at taking mine out and make room for a spare tire. When driving the 'Cat I don't hear the stereo anyway, if it's even on. Too much else going on.

Not if the dealer shows the VIN, which they generally do.

I hope not too many click on that. In the past I was told by a dealer that a car I'd been eyeballing had a lot of interest lately, so they weren't willing to negotiate much. Well, that interest was mostly me, having upped their click-counter a lot over two days.

I can lay low for a while and make room for CC if that'd help. Got lots of derogatory Furd comments pent up.

You know he's still fully intact since he doesn't want a "wide body".

Hey Magnified, long time, no see. Anyway, I'd have the dealer pull the Carfax, if they haven't already. Not that I really trust Carfax, but there should be some clues about the ownership history. Oh, and you may want to lay low on Tuesday. Most likely I'll go to west Texas (Levelland to be...

The Hellcats certainly are. Much like with Trackhawks, I think they had to be to give the drivetrain a chance to survive.

My ex is. I learned my lesson.

Lumberton is right next to a rez. The indians don't care about it, and the cops never go that far. I'll be fine.

I think you'll regret not starting fresh while you can, Eric. Hopefully I'm wrong, but as 1971 knows, usually I'm not.

I like the V6s in sacrificial cars. My first experience with one was a '14 1500, an incredibly dull but practical car. Next was a '21 Challenger GT AWD, then the ''23 Challenger GT AWD and '19 Durango GT AWD I have now. So why the V6? Because I kinda need AWD. Yes, I could've ordered a Durango...

Well, 500 of those miles are most likely because of the incentive program to add those miles to qualify for a lower price. Usually added by a sales manager. So most likely they got it with 10 miles on it. Either way, a vehicle is not considered used until it has been registered.
