I am not a big fan of Jag’s but the new XF is HOT! [Pictures]

Some of the best shots so far, the rear is still looking weird to me. [Link]

I love reading Jeremy Clarkson’s reviews because I think he’s hilarious and his review on the crappy tiny G-Wiz car has to be the funniest one yet. Start reading from the 16th paragraph, where it says “And now let us move on to what happens…” [Link]

Since its my day off today I decided to go and change the tires on my Wrangler. After a bit of searching I landed at Dunlop and ended up getting my tires from there. I wasn’t planning to get Dunlops but they had a really great offer where if you buy 3 tires they give you the 4th for free. The offer is going on until mid September if anyone is interested and they are located opposite Ace Hardware.

Found this Wrangler today and its exactly how I want my Wrangler to look like. Now I just need to find out how much this lift is going to cost me. I should have left a note on the guys car and asked him to call me.

Its actually not looking that bad in these pictures at all. But thats probably because we can’t see the rear… [Link]

update: Imagine if the cops start recruiting drivers…

“Hi, sorry to pull you over but we’ve been tailing you for the past 30 minutes and we’ve noticed your driving skills are unparalleled. We would like you to consider signing up to the “Role Model Driver of the Year” competition because we think you have a strong chance of winning. What do you say?”

Nibaq sent me this over the weekend. Its a chart of the most reliable and least reliable vehicles. In the number 1 spot for reliability its Lexus, Toyota is 5th, BMW 9th and Mercedes 19th. The least reliable brand is Land Rover and its the least reliable by FAR. [Picture]

The best pictures I have seen of the new Land Cruiser so far. Interior looks pretty cool, exterior still looks like crap. They also have pictures of the new LX570. [Link]

Today I had a flat tire AND a flat spare! The worst part though was trying to find four tires for my car. I went to the Canada Dry street and went to all the main dealers and they were mostly out of stock with the good stuff. In the end I managed to get the last two Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 available and I reserved two more that should arrive to Kuwait sometime in July. I reserved two tires, thats like the most ridiculous thing!

This was an actual commercial that was released!
