    car got keyed....

    I just got keyed too... one whole round around the car... WTF with these people... (eyeballs) FUXKING GOT NO DICKS. I don't want to go thru insurance... because it leaves record and a good excuse to double my premium. NO, i'm clean, no tickets or claim ever.

    Any experience on SNOW?

    I do not believe our car have Brake Distribution... (Even it has, its a very poor designed one - our nose dive every time we touch the brake, no matter lite or hard). Even ABS Systems, there are higher end ones and lower end ones...

    Any experience on SNOW?

    Hi all, I know why now haha. You just can't rely on those tire guys. only 15-20 lb air is in each tire only... no wonder it don't have any grip or stopping tread! Now is much better and more "normal". But i found the 5 still nose light. But yeah, the street was covered with snow... small...

    Any experience on SNOW?

    We finally have our first real snow fall... right around traffic jam time between 4-7... lots of black ice, accidents and closures thru out Toronto. It was snowing, a few thin layer of snows, then it became even colder. My 5.5 ton 2009 Isuzu can't stop... So i immediately puts on the snows on...

    435 miles on a tank

    NO seriously, this is a very good highway car. 2 things can makes it better - lower windnoise/soundproofing. and better lateral suspension supports - sway bars... (laugh) Fast and more stable (or should i use secure), on the highway than my last GTI or Civic SIR (hatchback made in UK).

    435 miles on a tank

    Just back from Montreal to Toronto.... Boy, my 08GTAuto feels as good or better than MOST MERCEDES BENZ I driven - from my MB fanatic mouth. The stability/secureness/downforce at high speed generated that makes your bottom closer to ground is rarely found on most cars on the market regardless...
