EPA Accuses VW of Cheating Emissions This is epic - almost as good as intercoolers that load up with condensation. Go VW :rolleyes: "The Environmental Protection Agency issued the company a notice of violation and accused the company of breaking the law by installing software known as a...

I am as much a Nokian fan as anyone, I run them on all my cars (winter only - there are much better summer tires than Nokian's summer offerings). But you are way off base with your statement that G3's are "Everything". They do not match the winter performance of the Hakkapeliitas, not even...

I have for sale two sets of Pewag Sportmatik Tire Chains. The chains are very easy to install, come in a protective plastic case. Installed once to learn how and check fit, never used on the roads. Both sets brand new. $140/set compare at $180 new.

So far I'm pretty happy with it - nice truck. I got a pretty basic model (XLT) and chose the 5.0L V8 for a few reasons: Ecoboost seemed to be suffering the same intercooler system woes Coyote V8 is a sweet engine - Ford threw alot of engineering behind the return of the 5.0 Test Drive I liked...

Ford F150 I'll play - I replaced mine with a Ford F150. My needs changed such that I didn't need a commuter car any longer, but my 12 year old Tacoma pickup did need replacement. And here is the replacement for both car and truck:

Bump... slight price drop to $23,750. For anyone that has interest in this car, be aware that I am not asking that much over trade-in, and it will be gone soon either way. If traded, a dealer will sell this car for $25k+... 2013's are nearing end of production, and we won't see more...

Today I went to an outdoor spot that has a long, 3/4 mile uphill drive that is complete, continous sheet of smooth glare ice for the last 1 week due to plowing & weather patterns (no sand or slat is applied all winter... melt/refreeze = glare ice). There is a locked gate at the bottom on...

I will add to the previous comments in this thread that the JSW does very, very well in snow. In particular, the ASR traction control system combined with ESC stability control system make the car extremely driveable. ASR is not as good as AWD, but definitely makes a world of difference going...
