  1. Nine R T? Or something along those lines? I love it. I finally convinced my dad to buy a BMW. He's wanted one all his life and last year he was just throwing the idea of a new bike(he had been on a Honda ST1300 since 05) and I said what about the BMW you've always wanted. Without even looking he said it cost too much blah blah blah.. I just grabbed my phone and checked some prices real quick and showed him and it peaked his interest like "No way? That's not out of reason at all". I told him to just finall buy exactly what you want because if you don't, you'll still always say "I want a BMW motorcycle some day". Two or three weeks later he test drove one and a week after he picked up his BMW F800 GT. It isn't the prettiest thing to me but he loves it. I think he puts around 5000 miles a year on his bikes as he commutes on it in the summer(only a 6 mile round trip to work). His doesn't have the center bag, yet. I'm sure he will eventually get one if my mom wants to ride on the back again.
  2. WEEEEEAAAKKK!!! They're built to ride not trailer! lol What kind of bike do you have anyway?
  3. Volt powertrain should be in like 5 vehicles at this point. I hated the first gen too though.. just something about it. Actually, exactly what Drew said about it is why.
  4. Sadly, I think that's just a sign of the times now... Modern crash standards and styling leave massive blind spots and sadly(again) blind spot monitors or the little extra angled mirrors within the mirror are almost necessary. My escape had a terrible blind spot because the size of the tiny furthest window and most of the CUVs are like that.
  5. CT6. Just carry the family in class. Find a used one for like 35-45k... Don't worry about the motorcycle just drive it everywhere lol CT6 V6 AWD CT6 3.0TT AWD
  6. I've always had a hate boner for it as well.. Something about it just doesn't look near as good as any of its competitors and comes off as bland and boring with one lone engine choice, at least the first and a half gen. Now it has a turbo 4 as a base, right?
  7. No, it works AMAZINGLY! I'd VERY highly recommend doing it to your windshield. In light rain I don't use my wipers and some times in the morning after it rains I like to see at what speed does all of the rain come off my of windshield.. around 40-45 if you're wondering lol. Once a week?!?!? I only feel like I need to once a year.. and once I apply it I usually just buy the additive for my washer fluid and that works plenty well.
  8. I haven't read through the whole thread yet but I believe they were created for a sporty and young persons car. this was supposed to be their "youth" brand with the quirky xB and xA that were supposedly very customize-able from the factory. I think it is more about the automatic adjusting to the amount of rain falling rather than initially turning them on that makes them nice. Rain slows down, they slow down, rain picks up for 45 seconds, they pick up for 45 seconds...etc. Personally, I could care less about them.
  9. Yeah that's quite often as well.. Makes sense why you'd want the extra space.
  10. Yeah, that's understandable, that's a pretty long drive to be in there. They look pretty roomy but I've never been in the back of one. How often are you driving them that long?
  11. I've always wondered this.. How much savings is there really when you have turbos/heat exchanger/plumbing all added to the turbo 4? By chance, do you have any examples or engine weights with the turbo+components compared to their replaced V6?
  12. I don't get it..
  13. It's just ironic that he has a Suburban and Trailblazer SS... Just say'n... I also think an Escalade..
  14. I believe both Toyota and Honda have production cars out in California. I'm still a firm believer that eventually, when the process gets much more efficient and cheaper, that it will be the real way of the future. I think it's dimensional-ly because CAFE has to do with it's footprint and fuel economy. That's why the F150 is as wide as it can be without putting the marker lights on it like the HD/SDs have on the cab(and Raptor in the grille).
  15. That's a 3-row SUV and is 5.5 inches longer. After looking them up... It seems to split the Explorer and Edge almost perfectly. Edge: 188.1in Acadia: 193.6in Explorer: 198.3
  16. It surprises me they are getting rid of the Sonic and not the smaller Spark. I was looking at the Sonic RS before I bought my Focus and I just couldn't get over the size of the car. I'm all for smaller vehicles(I drive a Focus!) but it's just too small for me. They'd be perfect for a new driver though. I would definitely look at one if I was buying one for a high school kid.
  17. Just group everything together, who gives a fck?
  18. I saw that as well. It's so close to being awesome but the cab and bed just look TOO different. It looks like 2 completely different generations(because they are) but there's no effort to blend them.
  19. Hella good month for GM. FCA blew ass if they didn't have Jeep to save them.. But Ram will come back as their new truck rolls out.
