Not to start anything off topic, but does anyone else notice that as far as pricing is concerned, the LS430 doesn't really belong with the others in the 2nd place category?... though it's not as "sporty" as a 350Z or Z4, it might still take my pick.. | ||

Does anyone recall what the results were of what was going on with Firestone and the families of the deceased and the lawsuit, etc, etc, etc...? Did firestone pay out...? Wasn't there some speculation that they continued manufacturing/distributing these tires even after knowing that people were dying because of them...? Anyone...? | ||

Melo, i saw that, but couldn't resist commenting on Firestone... Mr. Glickenhaus- i was on the phone, on hold with an insurance company when i read that; just as i finished, the young lady picked up. i burst out laughing and had to hang up the phone... This board needs a funny filter- something to warn me that what i'm about to read is hilarious... James, that's probably the funniest thing i've ever seen you write... LOL... i'm still laughing and i really need to call these people back... i need a drink... | ||

Oh, no...! Anything but Firestones...! Even rap music had something to say about firestones... "...Firestone tires blown, 'cause they were poorly bred; sorely said were the eulogies depicting the cruelties of faulty treads..." Ah, what the hell... Where's the nearest Bridgestone dealer in Suffolk County- i'll take my chances if a Ferrari's in the runnings... | ||
