I'm mad because my Accent only gets 20 mpg when I'm going 110 mph down the interstate and because it doesn't do well when I'm towing 5k pounds. And it sure didn't perform well on the Rubicon last year.

I'm far from the target market tax bracket, but I would definitely not by one of these...how many catastrophic engine failures does that make? Any idea if Chevy will warranty an engine failure on the track? For 80k - 100k, give me a Porsche...or two $40k-$50k vehicles. Or a fat chunk of change...

Because I wouldn't "test" my own vehicle like that.

I hope that was a rental.

That is a very, very good price. Any pics or additional details?

Straight from the link: 5 to 7 Extra Horse Power 3 to 5% Better Gas Mileage Cuts Emissions 50% Cuts wear at least 50% Extends Drain Intervals Dramtically All typographical errors are from the site. Nothing to see here, folks.

Grr, sorry to hear and see that. Keep after them!

Can't comment on the sine wave, but I've never heard of churches offering products/services like that... is that a regional thing?

Change your oil if it is going to stress you out during your trip. You should have absolutely no troubles during your trip, but if you're going to be thinking about your oil, you might as well change it now. Cheap peace of mind.

Having owned or had a close family member own a: Titan, Ram, F150, Silverado in various trim levels, engine options, etc... I can say with 100% confidence that you should drive the ones you are interested in and pick with confidence. They are all reliable, capable, and functional. Just pick...
