    Strut tower bar welding

    This is the engine bay of an 08 coupe I checked out yesterday. This is from the driver side of the vehicle. Does that weld look normal? Does anyone have anything like this on their 08, or have you seen anything like this? It simply does not look normal to me. Any input is appreciated...

    Its been asked, but WHERE to buy tires from?

    Tirerack has the OEM Michelins Same with discount tire, in run-flat and non-runflat. I personally think the runflats are terrible tires, yet like the idea that if they do become punctured, I can make it home. Anyone have some personal opinions/suggestions that could sway me? Also, where else...
