Entaille: The very air you breathe; water, food, sex...ALL the g-o-o-d and beautiful things you enjoy, are a gift from God. So, Tampa Z is RIGHT ON THE NOSE when he thanks the Creator for the blessing. Now blast away at my post, Entaille: IT WON'T MAKE AN IOTA OF DIFFERENCE IN REALITY. God IS.
(BTW: Congrats on your 370, Tampaman!)

I have no problem with "weird". I do have a SERIOUS problem with being ungrateful to my Creator. There, ZKanman!

I did not know that but I recall reading about the bridgestones in an ad or brochure and thinking "oh no, not again!". WIsh it came with anything but the potenza's. My 350 has about 39,700 miles on it and it's on its 3 or 4th set of front tires. I lost count. Still don't ever regret pre-ordering and owning the car.
A lot of people poopoo the Potenzas, but what most of them don't understand is that the 040 (which came with the car from 03-06) are crap compared to the current Potenzas, the 050A (which came with the car from 07-09). The 050A has gained so much popularity by its performance, a lot of summer/sport tire packages use it:
Mazda (Mazdaspeed3, Mazdaspeed6, MX-5 and RX-8 with sport tire package)
Infiniti (G and M35/45 with sport tire package)
Pontiac G8
Toyota Tacoma X-runner (an amazing sport truck)
BMW (but sometimes they use Michelin PS2s, I haven't figured out their packages).

I just can't figure out why Bridgestone still charges so much for that tire when they've already made a killing selling them to auto mfrs. If you have any pool, please write them a letter telling them to bring their prices down. Other competitive tires are over $100 less PER TIRE!!! [/end rant]

That's an ignorant comment coming from someone that has never owned a 350. A comment like this is usually reserved for young 4 cylinder ricer punks.

They are both great cars in their own ways! Mature people appreciate all cars and don't try to play "new against old" game because they own a 370 and they in the "real club" now.



To the OP, Congrats on the purchase!!!!

Oxygen, rib muscles, and osmosis permit everyone to breath.

God is a figure that was created to let everyone know that you really don't have control over anything. You can try to protect yourself, but if your protection does not work, there is no need to go ballistic. God is a way to find peace, so you don't have to be angry at the world when stupid stuff happens, like healthcare "reform" and "stimulating" the economy. So God is not bad. probability + chance + luck = God's will. Call it whatever you want. If God suits you, then good.
\End preaching

Tampa, great car!!! Enjoy it. Hey, I drove one, but I didn't buy it. I must be immune.
Two reasons, financials (I'm too poor right now actually, not immune), and the mirrors are too dang big (can't see around corners)! But I liked the acceleration. Didn't get a chance to drive one with the Rays wheels, so not sure how much better it is. Advans were OK.
