Mini News: MINI Talks Powertrain and Chassis For 2014 Cooper
Guess the small bump from 181 to 189 might make a difference, But more noticable will be the bump in Torque from 177 to 207. Since the JCW is 208hp / 192lbs or 207 with over boost. It will be interesting to see just how much more they bump it up for the JCW version. I hope the Adam comes over as a Buick with AWD and a nice Torquey motor.

Tesla wants have a self driving car built in 3 years
Totally Agree with you, rather commute in an hr or two than live like a sardine in the smelly cities. Not for me...I've done rural and small towns in the past, doesn't work for me. The good jobs in my field are in the cities or suburban office parks, I like to be close to everything...I like having my Starbucks a mile from home, a good grocery, hardware store, Target, PetSmart, a large variety of restaurants close by, 15-20 min to a major airport, and keep the commute under 40 minutes... I found that for the year and a half on the east coast in a terrible dirty state called New Jersey you are right you have to drive miles and lots of time to get to anything that has decent stores. Yet in washington state, I enjoy a rural life with a Home Depot 5 min from where I live and a mall 15 min from where I live and I can still drive into the larger town and get on the express bus into Seattle and get to work just fine. Not sure why NJ is called the garden state with how dirty the state is and the only thing I really saw was corn be grown there and then the crazy jug handles and lack of shopping. NJ should just be merged into another state as it seems to be just a bedroom place for NY, Philly or DC.

Posting (embedding) YouTube videos?
It works just fine on IE 10 or Firefox. I did notice that IE 10 if you go with default settings is really tight on letting things post normally. Check your security settings.

Totally agree with Drew on this one, the standard cab look defective. Just plain wrong.

Tesla wants have a self driving car built in 3 years
In regards to your Post I would have to say that you are blaming others rather than having been alert to what is going on around you. If you were paying attention to what was going on in front of the Volvo you would not have rear ended it, it you were checking your mirrors and doing shoulder checks while driving you might have been able to avoid being side swiped. In 33yrs of driving or what my family calls aggressive defensive driving in the way I drive I have not had a an accident yet. Nanny devices will cause people to become less aware of what is going on around them and you seem to be a perfect fit for a self driving car so you do not have to be alert to the world around you.

Scion xD versus the Nissan Versa
While I would take either of these American auto's over Asian or European, over all I still think they are an ugly category and space/comfort for big people is pathetic.

Tesla wants have a self driving car built in 3 years
And I'm sure the thousands of dead people in that figure who were innocent victims of someone else's driving would think this 'socialist' goody two shows idea is sounding pretty great. -1000 points from Gryffindor. Life is made up of Choice, If people allow themselves to become drugged lemmings doing what ever the Government tells them then Humanity DIES! It is a sad fact that many Innocent people are killed by the stupidity of others trying to do to many things while driving or making bad choices to drink and drive. This should NOT penalize those of us that take responsibility. As Drew and Dodgefan have stated, a complete total control of the car to drive and yet still having the auto pilot option is a good way to go for long drives especially, but one must not allow it to take total control. Many of the nanny devices being pushed on Auto's today are a bad way of allowing people to fall into a false sense of security when Driving requires total attention.

Plus those 32,000 crashes are a built in form of population control. If people are too stupid to be self responsible and they think they can drive, smoke, text, chat, eat, drink, apply makeup and all the other multiple things people try to do on the road at the same time, it is their own fault and those of us that enjoy driving and take pride in self responsibility should not be penalized. Keep your socialist goody too shoes fingers off my ride!

Plastic Cladding Detailer?
But what about the tax value? Here in washington state since we have no income tax, the state gains everything by sales tax, so with a 10% sales tax on the value of the new vehicle being offset by the value of the tradein, it can make a difference on what you end up paying.

Jeep News: Chrysler Restores Second Shift At Toledo, Cherokee To Miss On Sale Date
I'm guessing it's before they ship them. I agree, other news places that covered this story mentioned that the factory would upgrade the software before shipping to insure no dealers let one slip through that could give it a bad experiance to the customer. I think the only way you could insure a successful launch would be to flash and then ship. Dealerships seem to be 50/50 on updates to code on engines and transmissions.

Opinion wanted: 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD
In regards to the 6.0L V8, around town I get 14.5MPH in my AWD Escalade ESV, On a recent road trip to Santa Barbra, I averaged 17.5mpg with an average speed of 78mph. All depends on how you drive them, but for me it is roomy, comfortable, great view of the road ahead and I have no problem with that gas mileage.

vinylsmith here!
Sounds Good, will reach out to you on our chears and Gears PM when I am ready. Question for you, what is the best way to give feedback on the site other than filling out the sales info request option for contact? Looking at new headlights for the Durango. http://www.rvinyl.com/Custom-Headlights-Dodge-Durango-1999.html Very first option is nice but the description comes right out and says "Customize your Acura with these replacement headlights."
