Has anyone used this company for tires and wheels?
They make getting shit easy, but I've seen an assload of bad reviews on consumer report. Any personal experiences?

I only buy tires there, they are also 2 hours away from me, and its sometimes cheaper to go drive, and pickup them than paying for shipping.
Their warehouse is great, and they will mount them there as well if you want. I had this done once, otherwise there is a long wait.
Shipping is literally next day for me.
Service is great, once they accidentally shipped me the wrong tire sizes, the next day I got the correct ones, and the deliver guy just picked up the wrong ones.
They will ship for free to authorized tire shops as well.
>>
the company i work for has a wholesale account with them and we order a few sets of wheels and tires from them every month. never had an issue
>>
They're good and hekpful. Sometimes overpriced because they're the big dogs and spend a lot of money on marketing and influencing so they stay on top. Simpletire and others sometimes have better deals.

The fires started behind the glove-box in the heating and ventilation system, and were a problem in cars. GM was "too slow to acknowledge drivers' concerns, too slow to begin an investigation, too slow to address the causes and too slow to alert drivers of real safety concerns. Drivers and their families were needlessly put at risk," The first report of a fire was noted by GM in 2009, and in 2014, internal concerns over a pattern in reports of fires were raised. However, GM did not launch an investigation into the fires until August 2015. At that time GM logged 161 fires. The MPs suggest that the company put money and reputation ahead of safety when it came to fixing the problem. The report uses damning phrases like "morally reprehensible" and "reckless disregard for safety" when describing the company's sluggish response. It's especially scathing about the fact that GM let people drive around in cars that had been recalled and 'fixed', even when engineers knew they could still catch fire. The BBC covered the issue in Watchdog on 22 October. A complaint was made to the DVSA about that time. GM launched the first recall in December 2015.
In February 2016 it was told about the first fire in a vehicle that had been recalled, but it did not launch its second recall until 19 May 2016.
The MPs were particularly scathing over GM's decision to let people continue to drive vehicles that had been recalled and returned to the owners when the manufacturer knew the cars could still catch fire. (GM's) "decision to continue to let people drive affected cars amounts to a reckless disregard for safety. This is particularly damning given its admission that it should have notified customers earlier," the MPs said, "In the absence of any explanation for its tardy response from the witnesses that appeared before us we can only conclude that commercial considerations and the need to avoid reputational damage were put ahead of safety; this is unacceptable and morally reprehensible"

Did GM have a reputation worth protecting?

>>17103536
So TL;DR, GM sold cars that catch fire, GM knew about it, GM did nothing because meh costs, GM got caught.

This is old news. Who cares.

Part of me wishes BMW would go back to this style with some of the modern features mixed in.
That looks pretty great if they updated the electronics and got rid of the fat lip of leather around it.

They generally weren't designed with women in mind, and they lack a lot of bullshit in comparison to modern interiors.
This stupid ass looking car is the fastest BMW you can buy under 20k.
>0-60 4.6-4.8 secs Stock!
>300hp twin turbo N54
>A cheap chip tune and a few boltons can put it past 360whp easily
>Lightest and Smallest chassis produced by BMW besides the Z4 in the 21st century.
>Comfortable
A JB4 and some bolt-ons puts this car in M4 territory, if you can get over the stupid looks this is the best tuner car made in the 2010's.

Too unreliable. Just look at Rudnick's 135i. Fucker already has meme turbo problems. Already has a random fuel line leak. Need to spend money on upgrading the clutch. Etc
There are better tuner platforms out there instead of dropping 30k into some meme car to only get 360whp lol

It weighs less than a jap straight 6 while making way more power and torque than a turbo 4. It has enough displacement to the point where forced induction is optional despite it's size.
Why can't people outside burgerland and shitpostland appreciate LS engines?

Red pill me on motor industry
There is an ulimited supply of family vehicles
>sedans, SUV, statiion wagons etc
There is a unlimited supply of these cars if at any moment you felt like buying a 1990-2017 particle car to get you from A to B New or second hand
Every year the produce more, and more each brand has its "new version" of the previous
Let me ask why anyone would buy brand new? red pill me on the consumers, have you ever bought a Camry or mazda 3 straight from the dealer? Why would anyone do this?
What i see is people buy a new camry
3 years after owning it they buy a newer model
>sell the old one, but its only got like 100k on the meter
How did this shit become a thing?
buy car for 20-30 k own it for 3 years sell it for $10 k when there's practically nothing wrong with the car
its as if people don't drive their cars till they break anymore

Google car transport and there's sites where you can input what you need shipped and where and companies will tell you how much they'll do it.

Send a relative or friend to get it.
