    Kumo Ecsta tires are the worst

    I claim that the Ecsta V710 is the best you can get based on the fact that the majority of winners at this year's SCCA Solo Nationals were on the tire. Hoosier had a good assortment of winners as well, though a lot of them were sponsored drivers on free tires. Avon, Hancook, and a few others...

    Opinions wanted - E39 540i Sport

    It's a 540i with stiffer swaybars and a 6 speed manual. The manual is part of what led me to the car. I can't drive a car that won't let me row my own gears. The 540 gets me a RWD 6 speed V8 that isn't a corvette.

    Thanks!

    I see that the New Post click is back to 50 posts per page, and over 100 posts are allowed since your last visit. The change a month or two ago bothered me, and I'm glad to see it back the way it was! Thanks!

    Is this a fair deal?

    That's OK, I hate dealers, so it all works out :) Seriously though, I avoid dealers if I can. In addition to the tax rule, they are more expensive, and I hate "the game". I bought a Protege5 for my wife a couple of weeks ago. The dealers were selling them for $13K - $15K. I bought from an...

    Is this a fair deal?

    Good News -- Vehicle qualifies for the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee! No severe problems (major accidents, fire, flood damage, major odometer problems or lemon history) were ever reported by a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for this 1994 ACURA NSX (JH4NA1154RT000421). If you find that any of...

    Kumo Ecsta tires are the worst

    Saying Kumho Ecstas are the worst is a useless statement. That tells us nothing. You have to tell what model. The Kumho Ecsta V710 happens to be the best DOT approved tire you can get. The Kumho Ecsta 711 is one of the worst.

    Is this a fair deal?

    In GA, private sales don't have to pay sales tax. We do have a tag tax, but that is the same regardless of if you bought via a dealer or an individual.

    Bose Lifestyle owners????

    I will throw in my 2 cents. I think Bose is OK for what it is, which is a mass market, easy to install, easy to setup, and easy to hide system for people who want background music to sound better than a $200 bookshelf system. Bose serves that purpose well. I wanted higher performance, and...

    GM to Ax 30,000 Jobs, Close 12 Facilities

    Toyota will not buy GM unless they are in bankruptcy and the union contracts voided first. The UAW is a cancer on the american auto industry, and Toyota is smarter than to buy a limb infected with cancer.

    Oil change opinion

    I would do an oil change now to regular dino juice, run that until 3K, and then run Mobile 1 from then on.

    Gallardo vs. New Z06

    So adding a supercharger to the Mustang will let it corner at over 1G? What about the NSX - if I add a CTSC to it will it also corner at over 1G? How about on runflats? Will either of them run an 11.7 on those runflats? I swear I don't get the car snobbery crap on this board. The NSX is...

    Gallardo vs. New Z06

    OK - so rednecks like the vette and gay guys like the lambo. What's a normal guy to do?
