Hey, nice shirt
 

If you want friends, you should be friendly

No 9-3 wagon
 

Instead of the wagon, I bought one of these, in silver with a beige interior:

I'll take the slightly reduced cargo space for the increased seat space and performance.

Translation: Now that the swedish au pair fits, who cares about fitting extra junk in the trunk!

Yeah, and then there's that third gear, oh that sweet, sweet third gear...

I'm shopping for a AS tire (too lazy and not enough space to run dedicated summer/winter wheels). Anyone use this tire? It gets raving reviews on Roadfly, Audiworld, and Saabnet, and the reviewers on Tirerack seem to love it. My application is only $66 per corner, which strikes me as unbeatable. Thoughts?

All I know is, right or wrong the Kumho haters are fuckin' in-ad-miss-i-ble.

Anyway, I decided to try them and I figure it's at worst a $300 mistake. So far, so good. They're quiet and grip nicely, which is what I want. Let's hope that they wear better than the unbelievably crappy OEM Pirelli P6 A/S shoes. Man, what a mediocre tire...

I think that he's referring to a Supreme Court decision regarding expert witnesses. Anyway, have you had a chance to drive the new tires in wet conditions?

With a name like Kum Ho, they'd better be good in wet conditions.

I just had them installed yesterday, so no, not yet.

Drove in the rain over the past couple of days. There's a ton of wet cornering grip, probably better than any A/S tire I've ever driven. Very happy so far.
