Don't count on it.

Actually, insurance companies usually have higher rates for drivers under 25.....I know my provider does. :)

Hadn't seen that article. Thanks. ← Excellent article. I can't wait to see & drive it. :)

Didn't you mean a 3.5L V6?

What happened to the Toyo tires that you were raving about?

This spring the '06 ES will be basically the same as the '05, so I don't think that anything will be "really" improved with this new model. I like the handling characteristics of the 3 series BMW's, and I can put up with a ride that's not as smooth as the ES. I'm pretty sure that the overall performance of this new 'IS' will beat the pants off the ES's.....and if it does, then I'm almost certain I'm getting rid of this dog that's giving me a lot of grief. Believe it or not.....I love driving my wifes Corolla.....it shifts like a dream!

I saw online pictures of this forthcoming model, and also the features & accessories. It really sounds great, so I called my salesman to see if I could get further information such as the MSRP. All he could tell me is they don't expect to get shipment until October 15th. and he had few details about any of the 'IS' models. There's going to be some changes in the way I purchase a car though. Last time I bought my '03 ES without ever test driving the car.....BIG mistake! If I had known about the transmission problems I would have thought twice about buying it. So this time I expect to really drive this 'IS' and put it through all the tests I am capable of doing to possibly assure me of future happiness. If this car meets my criteria, then I'm most likely going to sell or trade in my '03 ES w/14,000 miles for the 'IS'.

I think you mean valve cover gaskets.......not head gaskets. :) I don't know what it would cost to replace, but I'm sure somebody else will pop in and give you the info you need. Oh yeah.......welcome to the club. :D

Read all about it here> http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2100/article.html P.S. It's an Australian website.

I cant either - think their site is down ← The link is working now. :)

Ohh......he meant, surrogate. LOL

sterile ← Serigate ← No such word, "Serigate". Did you mean, "Segregate"?

Stevie- I must say that I'm really impressed by that beautiful job you did. Now, how much would you charge to do mine. LOL

Dependability of either the BMW & the Benz on all their models does NOT compare to the dependability of any model Lexus! On top of that, the parts for the BMW & Benz are generally more expensive.

I just bought the 70" Sony Qualia 006. This is fed by an SA8300HD DVR cable box. This is a rear projection set which I preferred over the plasma sets that I have seen. Read up about the specs on this set.

On a '95ES the belt change is about 90,000 miles since it's not an "Interference" type engine.

Up your Nose

This is still a work in progress. :whistles:

I am also in accordance. Lol. ← Somebody took off the 'user posted image'. Ohh, I misread the post.....forget it.....I thought there was a posted image.

From the management: LOC is closing due to the fact that we have reached the maximum number of posts. This will be reversed if all the members pay their fair share for these posts. 10 posts = $1.00 100 posts = $9.50 :P

Regular maps have much more detail then the onscreen maps of the NAV system. This stands to reason because if you try to have all this detail onscreen it could be too difficult to read. Besides, the resolution of the LCD screen is not high enough. Personally, I think that the screen readout is good as I could expect.

How can you tell if the water pump or timing belt has been replaced?

You might be shocked at the price of some of these upgrades, like dimming rear view mirrors and side mirrors with turn signals. They will run into 100's of bucks. This is just to make you aware. :)
