Replying to: jonward (Nov 09, 2005 12:58 pm) The airbag thing is really troubling. The phone's an annoyance. But you got 35K on tires on a LPS? And you're complaining? Have you busted the 65mph cherry on your S?

My last set of rubber went 13K. These guys are right, 35K is muy fabuloso! Replies to this message: jshattner (Nov 09, 2005 7:42 pm)

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Nov 09, 2005 1:24 pm) Where oh where can we discuss the Trabant [if not here]?   Agree, I participate over at the Passat and X3 forums -- the Avalon is not the subject here, nor is the Passat. However, I won't quite go so far as to ostracize folks who mention their names (I'll leave that to the hosts.)   I just got the Audi A6 survey # 2236 from JD Powers with the $1.00 bill in it. I am so sick of these surveys, why can't they survey us on the WWW and give us a credit at Amazon or something -- I detest filling in those little opti scan circles. After the first survey, I just pocket the buck.   Again, I know I am a bad person -- but they should automate this by making it an e-survey.   End of small rant

I don't mind seeing their names every once in a while. I don't need to be told on the LPS thread that I can save a lot of money by buying a Passat or Avalon instead of an LPS. I don't need nor solicit that kind of help here.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 09, 2005 2:34 pm) hpowder, don't worry, i'm a bmw owner and am as much a sucker for brand name as any other upper middle class wannabe on this forum who claims they can dtect a difference between a 5.8 second 0-60 and a 6 second 0-60...   LOL.   When i compare an avalon to a M, i'm very much within the limits of this forum because i'm talking about the M. If I were to compare an avalon against an umm pontiac, you could have my butt whacked off..   lastly nobody is dictating you to go buy either an avalon or the passat. this is a discussion bound by the rules of edmunds, not by your or my rules...   take it easy.   ksso

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Nov 09, 2005 3:52 pm) I've had 3 E's: 430 / 55 / 500 in last 8 years and no set has lasted more than 20k. Same for an earlier LS400 w/Z tires. I'd love to see 35k! As for the MB, my current E500 (2003) is gorgeous but the electronics (phone / cd / muting) are infuriating. Plus I had 4 windshield leak issues, the last of which fried my under-seat processor for the Xeon headlamps. My next car (January) will be either M45S or 550i. Gotta give MB a penalty box for now...
#4870 of 10007 Tire life by lexusguy Nov 09, 2005 (10:24 pm)
The low profile 18" UHP summer tires on my Jag last 15K tops. I just put on a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s, which I think are an even better match to the car than the OEM Continentals. The 280 treadlife is also quite nice for this type of tire, most are rated half of that. Replies to this message: wale_bate1 (Nov 10, 2005 7:54 am) lexusguy (Nov 10, 2005 8:10 am)
#4871 of 10007 07 G35 to debut in NY by dewey Nov 10, 2005 (7:21 am)
Unfortunately the article linked below does not provide any details about the new infiniti G35 engine, but at least we will get an idea of how the new re-skinned G35 will look like when viewed at the NY Auto Show   2007 G35
