  1. Oh Noooos@!! Yep, knew that. How is our traffic doing fly? At least my thread is still active here for the Tundra fans to link back to.
  2. Waiting for my post here to be deleted.....
  3. At least one of the malibu reviews was a 4cylinder LT with the 6-speed.
  4. See, this is why we are unsustainable... when 300hp in a 3500lbs coupe is barely enough.
  5. new 328 coupe does 30mpg with a manual.
  6. so.... you're checking out my wood?
  7. Then drive to a park-n-ride and take rail the rest of the way in. You'd probably save on parking too. And even if you do have to drive all the way in, there are plenty of attractive sedans that get 30mpg plus on the highway.
  8. Done
  9. Cruise cancel button: dumbasses.
  10. How far do you commute to work?
  11. There was some intake and exhaust sound tuning as well, but nothing really to the engine itself I think
  12. anyone have a log in?
  13. ugh, I hurt all over. I had to unload my wood by myself and now my hands are all chapped.
  14. then you're SOL
  15. There is a middle ground. I don't understand why all the hystaria over the extremes when just being smart about some things can make huge differences. IF you work in a major urban area....... don't buy a house 45 minutes away by freeway. Find something closer to work or at least a way to use public transit to get to work. Don't tell me you can't do it. Every major city I have visited in the US had some type of service for the outlying areas. IF you do change jobs and now have to use a car to get to work and it's a long distance drive. The NEXT time you buy a vehicle, DON'T buy the Suburban or Tahoe. Use some brains and buy something efficient. Yes we know you need to tow your 22' bowrider out to the lake 3 times a year. Avis rents SUVs that can tow it. The money you'll save in gas by not driving a Tahoe 360 days a year would be more than enough to cover the rental charges for the other 5 days. Hell buy a used Fleetwood.. it still gets better mileage than a Tahoe and can tow 7,000lbs. YES we know you feel safer in an SUV, BUT if you did research you'd find that you are actually safer in most sedans. The Taurus is one of the safest family cars out there, has AWD optional, has "Command" seating and gets class leading fuel efficiency. If you have to be a Euro-snob, get a Saab 9-3 it even comes in a wagon. IF you have more than 3 kids, buy a midsized crossover and the jumbo pack of condoms.... better yet, get snipped. Sure there are exceptions to any of these situations. Yes there are people that hunt/offroad/get 14 feet of snow/do construction..... those people are the exceptions. As a society we need to get smarter about things. How can we possibly think that buying a McMansion on an interest only loan with no money down 1.5 hours from work and driving in a Suburban is sustainable? Yet that is exactly what so many people do.
  16. eh... might be best to wait till after the recall... or TSB.... if there even is one.....
  17. blasphamy, though I dunno what else they could have used. I think a new CTS-v would do well with pop up nav screen and techno-gizmos.
  18. Ah-HA! Got ya! I was referring to the Eldorado ESC. but really, this is less about the Tundra and more a comment about CR and it's crappy testing trying to call out the IIHS and it's crappy testing.
  19. A3, A4, A5, A6, A8
  20. Makes me think of airliners. CT5 DT7 DC9 747 A380* * A-class Cadillac with a 3800 series IV
  21. Why can't we have the long, ongoing bitterness for the past mistakes of the media as the media has for the past mistakes of GM?
  22. unless clinton was actually there, I'm uninterested.
  23. Most men don't. Then there are those who are Mars experts.
  24. So... they test the vehicle in a crash... but they don't test to see if the ESC even works? I can buy a 1998 Eldorado with the ESC label on the back, wonder if that'd qualify.
