I don't know if it was the Blizzaks or the LSD or the combination, but my car was an f-ing tank last night and this AM. Every bit as sure footed as my G35x was.

It's a company that makes exhaust... maybe other stuff perhaps?

Darkcyd_Turbo · 01-08-2010, 06:40 PM

uuc motorwerks makes a couple of things for bimmers...mainly known for their ssk, which is what i want to order. Read it feels better than the BMW Performance one and is almost $150 cheaper. Plus it's height adjustable too. I also want to know if they make the dssr for the xi. But if you drive DAS AUTO then you dont need an ssk.

Darkcyd_Turbo · 01-08-2010, 06:43 PM

but yes i have their axle back too

CubanJJ09 · 01-09-2010, 11:34 AM

hows that beast drive?

Ricer X · 01-09-2010, 12:00 PM

Me? The Odyssey?

This is our second minivan and we had a Durango in between. It's not the Bimmer, that is for damned sure. Unfortunately, when the boy is home from university and the mother-in-law is in town we need seating for six. In addition, with the girls in competitive cheer we do alot of road trips (Indianapolis next weekend).

But, in comparison to the Caravan and Durango, the Odyssey is the shit. Really smooth ride (a bit floaty), peppy engine that won't embarass you and very comfy. For road trips, unlike the bimmer plenty of convenient cup holders!

Mileage is good as the car shuts down cylinders when not necessary. Bitch even has a remote starter on it which is nice when it is cold and service is cheap (although it is uber reliable).

I've always heard those things were the way to go if you had to get a minivan.

That V6 is pretty peppy isn't it (same one as in the MDX's I believe)

ultimate · 01-09-2010, 02:04 PM

i know most of the minivans have it now, but i love how you could slide down the big ass rear windows on the odyssey lol.

CubanJJ09 · 01-09-2010, 02:22 PM

seems like it's minivans Ftw?

Well, let's not get carried away. If you have a family of more than 3, and in particular more than 4, they are very very functional. Not pretty and they aren't gonna score any points with the single ladies or your friends, but if you are depending on a car for either you need more help than the car can give you.

And yes, the rear window feature is nice, the Mazda has those too FYI. Also, yes, if you are going to get one, the Honda is the cream of the crop and has been for quite awhile. 85k miles and no issues other than requireing new tires and regular maintenance.

CubanJJ09 · 01-09-2010, 02:43 PM

Haha oh ok

ultimate · 01-10-2010, 12:37 AM

i'd still sport a functional suv like my moms lexus lx.

That's alright if you top out at 4. Once you get to 4+ minivan may look goofy but it is more functional. Easier in and out. Captains chairs to nobody is touching each other, plenty of storage.
