Replying to: paisan (Oct 08, 2009 5:19 pm) 2-3 times a year we get a big wet snowfall that sees the WRX dragging its belly and plowing in front. These are very difficult driving situations because they require a moderate amount of power to overcome the snow resistance, yet offer little traction. In the 09 the first time I drove in these conditions, it kept hesitating and stalling - presumably from the fuel cut and wheel braking as part of the VSC/tc, but I can't be certain. Suffice to say, it did nothing but stall for my wife so I took over but was having to really slip the clutch to keep the engine going. When I took off the VSC, the stalling improved siginificantly, but forward momentum was really poor and I got stopped dead at two points requiring repeated backing up and taking runs at it to get out of our street. A similar event happened with the next big snow fall like that, requiring repeated runs at it to get through our street, VSC on or off. Plus, we threw a ton of snow around on those episodes. In 4 years with the 04 I never got stopped going forward, and it always found just enough traction to keep moving forward. I had never tossed tons of snow off the tires before. In all these cases I was dragging the belly and leaving a big flat spot plus a middle diffy groove. |

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Oct 09, 2009 8:31 pm) I swear I thought it was a joke until they actually handed me one. It's a sample size, enough to do a couple of loads or so. I also got a hand puppet of "Stinky the Skunk", LOL, my kids loved that.  Wifey got a stain remover pen, one of the ones you draw on the stains to help get them out. Haven't done a load yet but my wife kept all the freebies! She found the campaign quite amusing. |

Great idea. Lousy execution. http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2009/10/2009-dodge-ram-1500-rambox----bril- - liant-idea-sorry-execution.html#comments Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, I can't believe Dodge designed such a flimsy storage box. This is supposed to hold tools and whatnot. Look what this trailer hitch did! It put a hole in it! Unbelievable. Not only is the plastic too thin, but it should also have a rubberized coating to cut down on things sliding around and noise. Bob |

Replying to: rsholland (Oct 14, 2009 5:40 am) http://www.dodge.com/en/2009/ram_1500/storage/exterior/ They put a sawzall, a pitch fork (!), a shovel, and a circular saw. It's dead the first time you hit the brakes. Dodge has lots of great ideas, but execution leaves much to be desired. On their vans, for instance: Stow-n-go Seats: wonderful idea, but they're kiddie sized, thinly padded Swivel-n-go: great, but where's the leg room Twin movie screens: don't swivel with the seats |
