Re: Shocking saffety test for the XC90

Good point, Steve. If a person drives a Lexus RX300, they're not really living anyway, so the stats are skewed.

Like bottled water?
Bottled, 5.6 - 10.2 million joules of energy per liter to produce and deliver.
Tap water, 0.005 million joules per liter for treatment and distribution.

Re: Long trip prep? ('04 XC)

So, maybe some looseness and a clunk now and then isn't worth rushing the control arms. It's straight down an interstate, no rough roads, no real twisties.
