Canadian CL Owners!

Hey Guys, time for a new thread

I can't believe it's December and I'm still driving the Porsche
can't really complain tho...the TL is in the shop for at least another month
and then it's gotta go to the body shop for a month or so...but then it will be done...ready for the Zeals and some 20's

Ok.. i'll try to be a little more pro-active this time around.
..
My snow tires are already on.. the stupid shop insisted that it wouldn't be a problem and so they were on at the beginning of November! (I guess that kinda makes me stupid for listening..)
..
yeah.. so .. there's my first contribution.. =)

gotta agree that squeeke's accident was prolly his fault...sucks for him tho...at least he's not hurt...

I am seriously beginning to think that we will not have a white Christmas....anyone else thinking the same way?

hey astro...your old cls calipers. you gave them to alex right (TOTL). were there any problems with them, or were they working perfectly?

the reason i ask is because when i saw your factory cls calipers, there was a stain near the piston, which im assuming was brake fluid

i recently changed my pads and noticed the exact same stain. just wanna know if i should have it checked out

thanks man

yeah, Alex has my stock calipers...my brakes worked fine, just a little warped....
mind you, even when I put on the brembo's I still had shuddering in the pedal...
none of that on the TL-S tho...

hi

No, it is warm outside!

Holy smoke. I took a look at the pictures of sneake's car.... unbelievable! Just by looking at the pictures, I would have thought that it was a way more minor accident. The safety features really work! I am so glad that I am driving a CL-S.

what the drilly y'all ???

uh... did someone say they saw a pic of my car mushed? uh... that wasn't my car! knock on wood!

hey, whats the deal with this transmission problem i just spotted?

cuz sometimes, when i start my car, it doesn't sound like it goes all the way, meaning, it kind of chokes??? hard for me to describe.

as well, what kind of snow tires are you guys changing to? which ones will fit on our car?

someone said I should change the rim if I change snow tires cuz I can scratch my stock rims... is that true?

later
