Looking for a small/medium truck for boat/kayak. Ram 1500?

I'm looking at the Canyon too, in a similar situation as you (replacing my ForesterXT) but I'll probably get the quad cab for more secure storage space. I drive a Silverado 2500HD occasionally and that thing feels massive. The Canyon is much more manageable in size. Even the regular duty full...

Viper on fire

I was paying that much in 2008 when I lived in Metro Detroit. I lived in a really affluent area too, but it was in Wayne County and Michigan's no-fault insurance is already high. I currently pay less than that for a 2014 Stingray and the same ForesterXT.

YAGT: OMG I love guns

The big issue here is the m855 doesn't fall into the category of AP ammunition as defined by the BATF but they're banning it anyway. It doesn't have a solid steel/tungsten/etc core and the jacket weight isn't 25% of the total projectile weight. If this goes through, they'd have the...

Fly Delta? Get ready for some changes ...

No, they're splitting coach into three sections on most flights: Basic Economy - my guess this is what Coach is now without the ability to change seats. Whats unclear is if you can change these at all, or if you have to pay a fee like it is now with standard coach seats. These are also...

Corvette finally arrived

You probably know this because I think you're on the Corvette Forum too, but you get 4 free oil changes in the first two years. Some time this summer GM relented on their "oil life monitor at 20% or lower" policy and you can go in whenever. I would still get confirmation from the service...

Corvette finally arrived

We've got it covered now. I've got a Laguna Blue 2014 Z51 I've been driving since May. Probably one more week and then it gets put away for winter. Getting too cold for good traction up here. Taking it week by week though, if it warms up I'm going to keep driving it.

How would you option your Corvette Stingray?

I went with the 1LT trim, black interior, Z51, mag ride (it's awesome), performance exhaust (freaking awesome), Laguna Blue paint, and black rims. 12 weeks from order to delivery, although I went with a dealer who was like 7-8 on the list of most allocations for 2014's. There were also at...

Corvette C7 - Mid-Year Price Increase!

My Z51 order (that I got below MSRP) got in about a week before they announced this. Dealer called me, I'm price protected at the agreed on price. Now the long wait begins. Ordered from a medium-large dealer who ensured me he had plenty of allocations and I would get one. Hoping to have my...

Should I trust my dealer?

Head gaskets on non-turbo Subarus are a known problem. I would have thought they'd have fixed it by the 2010 MY (I thought they started using multi layer gaskets after 2009). I've seen photos that show what to look for to make sure the corrected head gaskets are installed when shopping for...

I think I got scammed, what to do? Advice?

What is the tire disposal fee for? Why would you be charged that on a new car?

2014 Kia Forte EX: Pretty good for the price.

Keep in mind with a used Subaru you've got a timing belt job required around 100k. I was quoted anywhere from 400-800 (from dealers) when I had mine done four years ago. Also I don't know when/if they ever fixed it, but the non-turbo engines had head gasket issues and they will eventually...

Got my first Smartphone Razr Maxx HD...need a case

I have the Otterbox Commuter for my standard Droid Razr Maxx. It nearly doubles the thickness of the phone but it is some serious protection and the end result (phone + case) is still thinner than my old phone+case was. I found the phone exceptionally slippery without a case, so the Commuter...

Otterbox Commuter users - how does your phone look after a while in the case?

I work in pretty much the worst possible environment for a mobile phone. I've scratched two Gorilla Glass screens on my Droid 2 (first phone was replaced because of a volume rocker defect). When I got phone #2 I bought an Otterbox Commuter case, hoping that it would provide an additional layer...

recommendations for HD digital antenna

I've done a lot of antenna research in the years since the DTV transition - my folks live about 35 miles from the towers and use an OTA antenna for their local channels. I've installed numerous antennas for them, before finally settling on a giant Winegard monstrosity that was so wide it...

Official Droid Razr Thread

There's a 1 star review for the phone at Amazon Wireless complaining that the $111.11 price is for new customers only, so you might be out of luck unless you're switching to Verizon.
