This one is not bad, but looking at #18622 where the Car Space logo is over the end of the punch line so you can not read the end of the joke...kind of pointless. Any option to move that around or is it stuck there on the bottom right of the picture?
 
Reminds me of watching the President's Cup Golf on TNT last night. At least half a dozen time the TNT logo in the bottom right corner of the screen was covering the hole...so I could not tell if the putt went in until the announcers told you.

You don't get torque ster with a CVT tranny.
 
eh? really! AFAIK, the differential and driveshafts play a more important role to determine torque steer.

I thought so too, but maybe the CVT distributes the torque more evenly to the drievshafts. Only one way to find out. greenpea, send us one of those coupes to test out.
 
Went to lunch in one of those Altima 3.5 coupes with all the goodies yesterday. My frst ride with a CVT. It felt funny with no shift points and was a nice car, but I personally would not buy a coupe with that much power and have it be front wheel drive. It just di not "feel right"

I don't think there is much BMW left in that car.

No, the logo is there permanently on the pics that are on myCarSpace. At least this one didn't have a joke. The cartoon was self explanatory. Might have to explain it to Joel though.

Don't forget to bring me back my Pearl white IS350 or if they don't have that color then this one will do!
 
Surely you don't want one of the cars driven at the events. We're going drive them like we stole them
 
Besides it's Starfire Pearl ... and you call yourself a Toyota guy

Snake...same guy! I was kind of embarrased. He looked kind of familiar when I sat down next to him. I asked him where he was going. He told me. As the flight and small talk went on, he asked me what I did. Told him. I asked him what he did...he said "I'm an actor, part-time". Guess he was yanking me.
 
After he told me his name, I found out all the stuff he'd been in....most of it I hadn't seen. Now, I'm going to rent his stuff to see if he's any good.

Hate to say this but in all my years of driving Chicago winters I have really never needed AWD or 4WD which ever you prefer. Even the first several years were in RWD and never had much of a problem.
 
Also I have said it before most of the cars in the ditch after major winter storms are AWD/4WD.

"...recall on amongst other things, floor mats..."
 
Well,I can see where they might be dangerous. Let's say that you get in your car and just by chance you have tied your shoelaces together (could happen to anyone, right). Now you attempt to drive the car standing on your head as some people like to do, and suddenly, your shoelaces get snagged on the mirror.
 
You try to use your hands on the brake pedal and BLAMO! the floor mat slips and jams itself under the pedal making the brakes useless.
 
You careen down the road into a dynamite factory and the whole neighborhood blows up. A tragedy which could have been averted if only Toyoda has nailed those damn floomats down!
 
I'm glad that someone was willing to spend a lot of Toyoda's money to keep us safe.
