    problems viewing website on I.e/chrome?

    Problem is that the CSS files aren't loading, which tell your browser how to format the content (which is all here if you scroll and squint). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Courage (etc): the internet is worse than alcohol.

    So, having had my 2 for a few months, I thought I would get a few bolt-ons to make this fun car funner. I've never done anything car-related except swap wheels, which I learned at the track as a kid; my dad had a friend who raced a Tercel (it wasn't fast, but he had fun). With that, and the...

    Has anyone installed this Stubby Antenna?

    I bought one on the 15th; shipped today. ETA isn't for another week. What more do you want for $2 shipping?

    Mother Nature Can Be A *bleep*

    The reviews on 1010tires.com are pretty favourable, except from people in Calgary. Would take those anonymous opinions over mine as I have at most 30km on my set.

    Mother Nature Can Be A *bleep*

    Just put Toyo GSi-5s (185/55r15) on steelies on my brand-new-to-me '11 GX/Sport. Phenomenal difference over whatever crappy all-seasons the dealer put on it.
