Most people have never driven a car without power brakes... the amount of force you have to use is astonishing... most people think their brakes have gone out, when that happens.. Anyway.... it was a joke..

Replying to: tifighter (Mar 08, 2007 11:48 pm) I can sure relate to being "inherently cheap". And yeah the swinging door on the RAV is not a plus. (Altho there's always "something", on every vehicle, that makes it not quite the right choice, it seems). I'm guessing the huge 18" tires on the RAV Sport might be the cause of the poor snow performance. I had a Range Rover with 18" "all season" tires & it was lousy in snow--a RR!? But I wonder how good the RAV is compared to the Forester in snow, with comparable tires, etc? (I have no clue myself, I'm just asking)..... |

Replying to: corvette (Mar 09, 2007 5:28 pm) What I don't understand is why if the guy is SO concerned about the environment, why he does not move closer to work so that he does not drive 100+ miles a day? Or is this one of those Al Gore "do as I say, not as I do" types? |
