Believe it or not, I've thought about this same exact thing here in the midwest where the last 3 weeks the highs were in the teens-20's and in the summer we'll have days around 100. That's quite the swing and the better cold flow won't be utilized on those hot summer days like it was just last...

Originally Posted By: 901Memphis Do you know about friction ratings? Make sure if you buy something in store it's no less than FF which is the standard in pads these days. You may be able to find a GG pad like Wagner thermo quiet. Anything DD,EE,EF,FE she be avoided. If you can't see a friction...

Originally Posted By: Gasbuggy Paid 1.73 for Shell 87 in Delawhere tonight. I could have went with a no name place for 1.67. Pa has just broken the $2 mark in some places. That's about what it is like here in Southern Illinois/ST. Louis. Usually Missouri is 10-30 cents a gallon cheaper than...

Originally Posted By: SatinSilver What is a good way to mark a tire? I have some directional tires and was thinking of having them flipped at WM. Since I have the lifetime balance I think all I have to pay is $20. I know there's tire chalk but don't want to pay $6 or so last time I checked iirc...

I actually really liked how the G26 felt in my hand. I just didn't like that my pinky hung off the end and it didn't on the Shield. That didn't feel comfortable to me. I know you can get an extended magazine to cover the spot but when it comes to concealing I'd also like the narrower firearm...

I ran PU twice. I didn't notice anything different but I was buying for the hopefully clean internals being I have a DI engine. I could have very well been buying "hype". I never had any issues with it though. Honestly, PU would probably be just fine. What vehicle and driving habits do you have?

I paid $21,400 for my 2013 Escape Titanium, AWD, 2.0T with 35,000 miles on it a year ago(in 2014 - only 1 year old and it stickered for 35k). When it comes to the used market there are a TON of vehicles to choose from. Personally, I'd look in the CX-5/Escpae/HR-V range of vehicles. It sounds...

Originally Posted By: jhellwig I sorta remember when they moved to St. Louis. They used to have the Cardinals before that. The rams were in la before moving to st. louis. Teams move around every so often. It is all in what tax breaks the city will give them to come there. It is just like any...

As I am from STL it is sad to see them leave but not sad to see Kroenke leave. He never wanted to be here and with pockets as deep as his he would find a way to get whatever he wanted. STL had a plan for a new stadium, unlike the other two franchises, and we still lost our team. Kroenke is a...

How do you sync up all of those trucks to pull evenly?

If I remember correctly, Ford is leading the way on the 10spd for RWD applications and GM is leading the way on the 9spd for FWD/AWD applications and they will each use both transmissions eventually.

Stoked about this car. Yes, it sucks there is no 3rd pedal option but I can't blame them for not making it. It probably wouldn't sell any manual trans options anyway. MOST that would buy this are buying it for its everyday capability as well. I will definitely be looking at these on the used...
