Hello, My 2008 Buick LaCrosse came with Goodyear Integra tires. Don't use the car much. Has only about 14K on it now. Unbelievably (to me at least) the front tires already need to be replaced. At only 14K, these must be the cheapest, miserable, OEM tires around. Can't believe that they are worn...

Came to a screeching halt at a Honda dealer today. Now, they had quite a selection of $32-36,000 Crosstours there, but what caught my eye was http://www.cargurus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/honda-cr-z-21.jpg The Honda CR-Z. Only available as a Hybrid, but the electrics can be turned off...

Driving my Scion the other day, I had the cruise set for 50, and since I was on a secondary road I came up on some traffic. Nothing drastic, just slow down a little. The brakes on this car are VERY touchy, so I just touched the brake and... the car SPED UP! It seems I had depressed the pedal...
