  2. Honestly xmas shopping on the 24th isn't that bad, 90 percent of the people have already finished. Its a ritual for me every year. I prefer to panic for 4 hours versus 6 weeks like everyone else.

  3. I still think the best thing is to have a 6 inch steel spike on everyones steering wheel. Everyone would drive safer. I think this would prevent far more accidents than ABS or Snow tires combined. It may have some unintended consiquiences like natural selection though.

  4. On Ice and Snow, it does stop better. not sooner. Better. Stopping is not just comming to a stop its maintainin control of the vehicle.

    With loose conditions like gravel, sand, Snow non ABS will dig in better. But non the less ABS will still give you better control.

     

    If you need to stop sooner drive slower. If yo uneed to brake in an emergency and react with steering, ABS is by far better.

     

     

    ABS brakes do not stop you and better then a non ABS vehicle.

    ABS will allow to steer the vehicle in a panic stop; because the wheels are not locked.

    In other words; if you’re in a panic stop heading towards a block wall; without ABS you’re going to hit the wall wherever.

    With ABS you’re still going to hit that wall but you’ll be able to pick the spot you’re going to hit. LOL

  5. ABS Brakes and a new set of All Seasons will stop you no probelm in the winter. I have a Camry with ABS and All Seasons and a Corolla with Blizzaks and the Camry stops better on ice and snow.

    Cornering and initial traction are better on the corolla though. Would the Camry stop better with Snow tires, more than likely yes, but I drive within the conditions, leave space between me and front of the car, test the road conditions frequently by applying my brakes when its safe to do so.

     

    I am not saying Snow tires are not worth the money, but it really needs to be justified as to where you live, and how much driving you do. If you stay in the GTA and you dont drive much than a new set of good All Seasons are probably gonna be fine IF you drive within the conditions you have. One of the conditions is the type of tires you have.

     

    People tend to over drive the conditions, be that snow, ice, Vehicle options, Tire type etc....

     

    This is why we see so many SUV's in the ditch, they can go but can't stop, so people don't realize it until they are sideways in a ditch.

     

    Snow tires are great and find their way onto every car I own eventually in the winter, but to blanketly say AS tires are not appropriate is false.

     

    If you are getting some New AS tires in the winter find the softest ones with deep and widely spaced lugs. Or do what I do, and buy a set of used snows and run them into the ground, whil you save up for a new set.

  6. Plasma will burn images in. but they do play fast motion stuff better than with LCD's. I have both. but an even bigger difference is an HD reciever with either. HD on any Cheap TV will know the socks off ANY tv with just a digital picture.

    Get the biggest TV you can afford in LED then LCD, Plasma is a big trade off, glare and burn in.

     

    I have a "0" permenantly etched into the top right hand corner of my Plasma from watching too many Leafs shutouts.

     

    Go for at least a 42" 45-50 is perfect. 50 or bigger only if you got a big room and deep pockets.

    I woudl sooner go with a 40" LED 3D over a 45" LCD.

     

    We have a 50" Dynex, Plasma, 42"Panasonic, Plasma, 42" Sharp Aquos LCD, and the Sharp is by far the best in terms of picture quality. If the 50" wasn't burned in we would watch all of our sports on it.
