    Is Nissan Pathfinder a good tow vehicle? I'm used to a Suburban...

    Poor old Subby starting to nickle and thousand dollar me. It's been great to tow with but I'm thinking trade in my car and Suburban in on a smaller suv I can use as a daily driver and cut my expenses in half... Then I can spend more money on snowmobiling!!! Thank you in advance!!

    Why is daytime speed limit in MN still only 50 mph?

    Does anyone know? I asked a MN USA officer and got a rather political BS answer about safety. MN USA pays a lobbyist to supposedly work for us and with our friends in the capital. Seems like easy pikins for the DNR sitting at the end of 28 mile Lake Vermilion and many other MN lakes... MN...

    What did Cat dealer charge to check valve clearance on jaguar, Z1, 1100 Turbo????

    It seems like it's very expensive to check and adjust valve clearance on Cat 1100 Jaguar, Z1, or 1100 Turbo. Also, manual says to have valve clearance checked every 5000 miles... That's one season for me in an average snow year... Thanks everyone in advance.
