    A new discovery for me tonight. Some of you might have figured this out already. I found out the USB connected ishuffle (via 3.5mm jack) actually is recognized by media player and plays music!! I tried doing this to my other vehicles with USB and it does not recognize it ( only thumb drive...

    I got mine at tirerack.com - delivered to my local tire shop. Michelin Pilot super sport 245/35/21 $295/tire- delivered in 2 days. It was exactly a month ago. Much better in terms of road noise compared to my OEM Pilot sport 2.

    Rear Ended today,

    I got rear ended 6 months ago; the truck behind me didn't stop in time in a rush hour - stop and go traffic. Sure felt like I was hit pretty "hard" when I felt the hit- it caused a small tear on the bumper, bowed the hatch slightly and a small crack inside the hatch itself. I had to speak to...

    got rear ended

    after the impact, I was afraid to even see how bad the damage was and very surprised how little it did. But the impact must have been hard enough that it caused the hatch to bow slightly where the seal lifted up in the hatch and water would leak inside. Also caused a small crack in the...

    Help talk me away from the ledge

    definitely get the MS and sell the P-cars. I also have 08 9114S and a Range Rover, and there is no question that the MS is much more fun, luxurious, practical, economical, and "newest and coolest" of all cars. When I take my kids to school in the MS, we get alll the attention as having the...

    driving thru deep water puddle

    Kendall, my mistake for misinterpreting your response. You may be right on the air suspension issue, maybe the whole car lifts up? I don't know the answer for sure

    driving thru deep water puddle

    didn't think it was a "Stupid Q", just wanted to know how water-resistant the battery tray was if you happen to encounter unexpected puddle and unable to turn around :frown: If am not planning on just driving through any puddles like a maniac. If you raise the air suspension, doesn't that...

    driving thru deep water puddle

    We all have experienced in occasions where intense, heavy downfalls of rain in short periods causes deep puddles of water and makes you feel a little safer driving over with SUV's or trucks. What about the S with low ground clearance and the battery tray below, anything to be concerned about...

    Quibbs, your S looks awesome. Mine with identical specs to arrive- hopefully this week. Did yours have the P85 badge? What's your plans with the Porsche? I also have a 997 Targa 4S, probably continue to drive it and rotate around with the S and our 100% emission, gas guzzling range rover :scared:

    my MS delivery window is in about 6 weeks and wondering about how to or when the extended warranty option has to be purchased by. Just curious, anybody getting the prepaid maintenance 4yr/50k with/out ranger visits or 8yr/100k coverage? How about a poll?
