Today, I own two "relatively" expensive cars, both with V8s. A $100/month extra for gas is insignificant when compared to $2800/month in car payments. That said, fuel economy and carbon footprint...

I visited my dealer & the manager didn't have a clue about ED

He didn't even know the program was announced and didn't know any details.

Anyway, I asked him about the S6. He has sold two via special order, but doesn't expect to get any in for inventory this...

Hey, I almost beat a VW Beetle once. LOL.

Anyway, it was a 4x4 and off-road is where it really shined. It went places where real Jeep's and trucks couldn't go. It was even small enough to go down some motorcycle trails.

Officers must like the S-Line

I was pulled over on the Baltimore beltway for doing 85 in a 55. I guess he missed my peak speed. Anyway, it was night and I thought I had a cling-on, but it was a cop. Bad luck? He pulled me...

Michelin Pilot Sport AS will be my replacement tire

I had them on my Lincoln LS. They are a supple tire that greatly improved the ride and cornering ability of the car.

I went with the 17's - Michelin MXM4

The dealer let me try the 18's &amp; Conti's for a week, but the ride was too stiff for my likes.

I like the Michelins myself, but I've never owned the Conti.

I had the 235/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport AS on my Lincoln LS, and 235/45R17 Michelin HX MXM4 on my A6. I liked the road feel of the Pilots much more that the MXM4. On dry pavement, I felt more...

Please say it isn't so.

$22,000 for an apparently frivalous toy.

She would have understood a boat or a motorcycle, but a tractor..."that's just wrong."

Luckily the tractor gained a good amount of acceptance last year when we got 31" of snow in one weekend. I...

That's easy...

They aren't taught keep to right, but they are taught not to weave, so they get in the left lane and stay there. Most won't move over even if there's a steady stream of cars passing them on the...

Q5 would be more her size

She'll probably buy a set of snow tires/wheeels next year, and wait until 07/08 timeframe for a new buggy. Hopefully the Q5 will be a viable option, so far I'm impressed with my Audi dealer.
