  3. Hammersmith replied to the thread Are the 17" tires really that much better for Gen 5?.

    Like I said, your choice. Personally, I'm not going to hasten the life off my X-Ice Snows for summer driving. If I were you, I'd hold...

    Yeah, it's a pretty terrible idea to use winter tires in the warm months, but you'll figure that out come next spring. Bad handling, bad...

    Agreed. Both my local dealers mark up a few percent over MSRP, so now I only buy from them if it's really cheap(clips, bolts, etc.) or...

  8. Hammersmith replied to the thread Right side mirror broken -any suggestions?.

    No sh!t. But if MSRP is a constant price across all dealerships and parts suppliers, then doesn't using the amount of the discount work...
