OMG is right dens! :cries: :o

I've heard.....but haven't seen it yet :whistles: Shocked is what I will be apparently. I should be caught up by 7:30 AM this morning. ;)

Thought this was good for a Enjoy!

I watched it and it seems like more of the same. I will watch the next 2 hrs. 2nite. I didn't see a lex either No Lex....yet. ;) They don't show up right away usually. B)

I gotta go thru my season 1 disc's (but I know there is at least 1, if not 2 Lexi in it)......but your pretty much bang on with the other seasons.....I haven't watched the new season yet....had to work but i recorded it on our PVR....It most likely will be a Caddy that 'President Palmer' is riding around in. ;)

Lol Not a bad show at all actually.....some good one liners. B)

Very addicting is an understatement ;) And yup....watch it all again......there is a Lexus in every season. B)

Anyone here '24' fans? B) One of my fav shows of all time & just wanted to remind folks that the new (6th) season starts this Sunday Jan 14th & Monday Jan 15th (2 hours each night) on Fox.....& I can't wait! :D Every season thus far always has a Lexus featured in it too. ;)

Good point blake B) The 300 HP V6 has direct ignition so it actually might get better fuel economy than the base 3.6L V6 :D Looking forward to seeing it at the Canadian International Auto Show next month. :)

Agreed....Kudo's to Cadillac in the styling department.....especially for it's interior! :D That 3,800 lb curb weight isn't even with the AWD system yet It's over 4,000 lbs....that's the only thing that's bothering me about it lol. ;) Also it looks fantastic in Silver too! B)

Agreed Steve....and the first gen CTS interior was abysmal...and embarrassing. :whistles: I wish Cadillac alot of success with this new CTS. B)

I must say that overall I have been quite impressed as of late with some of the products the 'General' has been bringing to market (use to be a GM guy back in the day & my Dad will always be a GM man, including 2 Caddies which I loved to drive). :D Nice to see GM finally (!) seems to have started getting their $#it together! Just a personal opinion, but I love the redesigned 2008 Cadillac CTS they just unveiled in Detroit...and you can have one with a 300 HP V6 that runs on regular gas & AWD! B) Nicely done Cadillac! B) I just hope the thing proves to be reliable lol. Motortrend is calling the 2008 CTS "Cadillac's most important launch of the decade". Looking forward to the comparo's to the competition....including the Lexus IS. ;) http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/count...veiled-at-naias http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_ne...08_cadillac_cts

I've seen the previews for this show & it looks hilarious! From CNN.com... http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/...reut/index.html

Happy New Year everyone! B)

Strange, the link is good bart.

You gotta check this site out on for the Canadian Mini......and see how the Mini can "Dominate Winter" LMAO! Enjoy! http://www.mini.ca/DominateWinter/

Just the facts bud lol ;) Nothing to lose by test driving a few Subi models to see how the wife & you like em.......if you don't after the test drives, hey.....no harm, no foul......at the very least you see what they are all about right? B) I have a feeling you folks just might be pleasantly suprised. :) Here is an interesting video clip you & your wife might find of interest... B) (time well spent).Funny thing about Subaru's......if you give them a legititimate chance or opportunity.....they pretty much sell themselves. B) Have fun! ;)

RX, You mean besides having a 5 star safety rating across the board on all of their model line, the BEST FULL TIME AWD system in the industry, excellent reliability ratings, their Turbo models (XT) being some of the ultimate 'sleeper' vehicles available? Standard side & curtain airbags? Subaru as a brand has moved 'up market' in the last several years.....bigtime! ;) You & your wife do yourselves a favor........drive a few models such as the B9 Tribeca (have a close look at the interior with leather in either 5 or 7 passenger form), how about a 2007 Outback XT or the H6 (3 litre 6 cyl) with the Navi system & decked out in leather with vehicle dynamics control? And take them for a nice highway test drive. If your driving the OB, have a look at that moonroof! I assume a Forester XT Limited (with leather & a huge moon roof) is not your cup of tea? No other car company (this side of say $50,000+) comes close to offering the traction & safety that Subaru does for the price. Get a couple of brochures & have a close look at the features/options that are available. I would suggest to find actual color(s) of vehicle that you & your wife are looking for when test driving too. :) Also if your interested I can put you in touch with a guy (known as our Subi YODA) that has owned Subi's for years (including a B9 Tribeca that is his wife's ride, and has also owned the OB & his personal car is a Forester XT). One hell of a nice guy & we are amazed at his knowledge. B) One other thing (to file under the 'unique' or 'cool' factor) is all Subi models feature what is known as 'Boxer' engines. The boxer engine, also known as a horizontally opposed engine, in which the corresponding pistons reach top dead centre simultaneously, thus balancing each other with respect to momentum. Flat engines are more compact than in-line engines, and have a lower center of gravity than any other common configuration including V configurations. Automobiles (and motorcycles) powered by a flat engine generally have much better stability and control. The only other car current car company that makes the 'Boxer' engine other than Subaru........is Porsche of course. ;) You will do yourself a dis-service if you & your wife don't have a very close look at Subaru imo.

Agreed.......much better choices out there than the OE Bridgestones.

I found the new RDX to be fairly 'portly' (being close to 4,000 lbs!) for it's size to be honest. Already creamed one from a stop light.......bigtime! & he asked me to 'go' It has no more people or cargo space than my 06 Forester XT. I had a close look at my local Acura dealer & honestly for it's price point, I found it rather cheap inside. Just my 2 cents

The Camry is a good choice......I haven't received my copy of Motortrend yet to read everything. I wonder how close the new Altima came to winning? Or was it even tested?

Agreed, not to mention it still has a 5 speed automatic......even the Camry trumps it with it's 6 speed auto. The Avalon seems to be redundant now.

No on the ASL. I do use their Series 3000 diesel oil in my Kubota tractor and was thinking about trying there new DEO oil. ASL always went up a grade for me in my ES; but, now I am told the basestock is fixed and this will not happen. I am using in my ES and wifes car, do not laugh, Chinamart 5w30 and LC20. I am trying this to see the outcome since LC20 made a HUGE difference (unreal) in my last oil test with Amsoil. Dyson analysis said this is normal for LC. Going to see how it does with a group 2 oil (with LC20). If it does the same as Amsoil ASL (nothing else added) I am staying with chinafart oil and LC. I might try there Ea oil filter since per some people and oil testing people it is the best full flow filter out there. Problem is the price; $13 per filter. Interesting findings As for the Ea oil filter (their Ea air filter is excellent too btw) I am able to get them for the same price as a K & N or M1 oil filter here (granted it is smaller than the ES filter).

mburn, Are you still using Amsoil ASL 5W 30 or have you switched to the Amsoil HD diesel in your ES?
