  1. Needs more chrome tbh. I don't think they've exhausted the world's supply of chromium yet. And those front bumpers, especially on the Silverado, are massive.
  2. I love playing the iOS6 Maps game. IT JUST WORKS
  3. At least I didn't listen to the soundtrack before watching the movie. i mean seriously, who does that?
  4. I'd rather a 4-door coupe than that stupid SUV they plan to make.
  5. Washed both cars and waxed the Intrepid. All ready for its alignment appointment tomorrow.
  6. I haven't driven an Accent, but I've had plenty of seat time in a Sonic. The Sonic rides and drives well and feels substantial going down the road. The cabin is plastic fantastic, but everything is grained well and the design is pleasing. I don't like how it doesn't have a center arm rest, the seat mounted ones dig into my side so I never use it. Driving position is excellent though. Rearward visibility isn't great, front and sides are good though. My biggest grip is the dimwitted automatic, which is quick to usually upshift and slow to downshift, but sometimes it won't upshift when it should. Manual mode isn't very responsive. The 1.4 Turbo w/ manual RS would be my pick were I to go with a Sonic.
  7. Welcome! What sort of accessories do you deal with, are you in sales, marketing or manufacturing?
  8. Mother's Back to Black works well too. Its worth noting that all of these will will remove wax and grease and will temporarily restore black finish. For a more permanent solution you'd want to use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Paints-SEM39143-Trim-Black-Aerosol/dp/B000EM019O
  9. Hello from across the pond!
  10. Not very odd.
  11. Its not just about straight line performance. You could stick a massive engine in an AMC Pacer, that wouldn't make it a supercar, it would just be a colossal waste of money. It needs to be fast both in a straight line and around the track, but it should also be special in some way. The GTR qualifies for that in the in not just low production numbers, but also the way its made, and its incredible performance.
  12. I think you mean today's sedans were yesterdays supercars...

  14. I have but one niggle with the CTS V-Sport, and its that its those 18" wheels look really small on the car.
  15. Pretty sure that's not what iOS6 Maps users were thinking when it came out.
  16. My problem with Bosch Icons is that they work awesome for about 4 months, and then the performance drops off very quickly. I've used Rain-X Lattitudes, they're alright but while they seem to have a longer overall life, they never worked as well as the Icons. I've used Trico Flex wipers, I got 2 years out of my first set. I would say they aren't quite as good new as the Icons, but they wear much better and last longer, and they still work very good. I want to try the Trico Onyx blades next.
  17. Welcome!
  18. Welcome!
  19. I've seen a couple ATS's, very nice cars.
  20. They were mounted today, Friday it gets its alignment and inspection then its off to a driving road!
  21. The only Scion that matters is FR-S, and that could easily be rebadged as the Toyota it is in other markets.

  23. Yes, the time has finally come for new tires for the Intrepid. These will actually be the first brand new, complete set I've bought for a car. After much research I've decided to try Falken Azenis PT722 A/S 245/45/R18 tires. These are V Rated, Ultra High Performance All Season Tires. I chose these because they seem to have excellent dry grip, good wet grip, and excellent wear. I'm not concerned about snow performance, since the car is stored during the winter. I'm super excited to get these on next week and take the car up my favorite driving road with its new R/T rotors and ceramic pads. I'll give first impressions next weekend.
