    Talk to me about Hummers

    It's on both Jefferson and McKinley HWY between Bittersweet and 331(capital Ave.). Keep going east past tirerack to the Mishawaka exit(83 I think). Go south on Capital, then turn left on Mckinley HWY. It's 1/2 mile down the road on the right hand side.

    Talk to me about Hummers

    I drive by the Hummer plant in Mishiwaka, Indiana all the time. Can you go to the plant to get those military engines? They make all the models there. They have buildings labeled H2, H1 and Hummer military. I like the military ones rolling out of the plant with the gun pods on top.

    Any 4th gens that actually used an extended warranty?

    I had to have my tensioner and some other things fixed under the extended warranty. Would've cost me over a$1000. Paid $0 with the extended.

    Test Drove Lexus LX570 Today

    It's a nice ride. But if I had $90k to spend, that wouldn't be my choice. Then again, I'm not that old yet. Plus, I doubt your mom wants to fly around in a luxury sports car. Good choice for her. What is the difference in ride between that and the LC?

    Want Some Cheese With That Whine?

    Re: Re: Re: Want Some Cheese With That Whine? Never assume! I had my serpentine belt changed. Along with the tensioner. All before 20K miles.

    lowering the national speed limit

    Around Chicago(I-80, I-55, I-294 ,I80-94) if your not doing at least 10 over the limit, you'll get run over. I think it is safer to just keep up with traffic. Less accidents. In Illinois they passed the left lane law. I haven't seen any state troopers enforce it yet. Around here, it is the...

    Fitness Thread

    good diet rollingthunder. I'm a sales rep for a sports suppliment company(Isopure). I see a lot of people who think they know what they are doing. It's funny. People wanting to get bigger, but take no protien/carb recovery suppliments. Runners fatigued, but try to cut carbs out of diet...

    Remember your diets! And suppliments! You can work out all you want. But, if your not eating right or fueling your body for the workouts, it all for nothing. It's like your 4runner. you can put all the mods you want on it, but it won't run without fuel.

    resale values seem way down

    Take it to carmax and have them give you a quote. They are usually a little higher than KBB "good" trade in price. But the used car market is getting flooded with SUV's right now. That is why prices are down. Along with the price of gas.

    4Runner resale value?

    Yes I read your post. You said, it does 75 mph(actualy does 90mph), and YOU DIDN'T THINK IT IS MEANT FOR HIGHWAY USE. Sorry if I miss understood. Then you said, idiots do idiotic things. So just because it might not be meant for highway use. Doesn't mean people are not going to do it...

    4Runner resale value?

    I said the same thing, except keep it off the highway. Here in Chicago, you are only allowed to take a motorcycle on the highway if it is a certain size. A motorcycle can keep up with traffic. Smart car only goes 90(top speed) probally redlined. Will you drive it almost redlined for the whole...

    4Runner resale value?

    Speed limits here are 55mph. 65 in the outlining areas. So some idiot will take one on the highway. Trucks won't see them. someone will get hurt. It's like those scooter people riding down the road 5mph under the speed limit. You'll have some people in a hurry trying to get around them...

    4Runner resale value?

    All week long I drive a work truck. On Chicago highways, if your not doing a least 10mph over the speed limit you will get run over. Not by just car, but by big rigs. I would not feel safe in that smart car on my highways w/ big rigs blowing by me at 80mph and cutting you off. Runnning...

    4Runner resale value?

    I didn't mean to come across pissed. I was just stating. Yes Bush did f**k everything up. Glad he is leaving. Rememer this did happen back in the 70's. Oil shot up to $40 a barrel(high at that time), then retreated after a couple years back to $15. The economy is shot. Then Bush says"what...
