there was a stretch when there was literally one always on BAT.
I honestly think it is one of the most esthetically pleasing vehicles ever made.
they did seem to have their share of issues though.
Wasn’t there some kind of frame/structure issue with them?

Yes I wouldn’t be too pleased with that happening if I were a Z-8 owner.

I don’t recall seeing one on BaT, but I searched for them and saw all the ones that were on the auction block. Either they were before I started watching the site daily, about two years ago, or I just didn’t pay attention. Or maybe I forgot, as my memory ain’t what it used to be.

I don’t see you in one of those. I have always loved the Corniche convertible, though.

I had new Michelin Cross Climate2 tires installed on my 2015 Honda Crosstour today, in California. The old tires weren't worn out but they were dated April 2016, so 7 years old. I had these Cross Climate tires in my online Costco shopping cart for my 2017 Pilot and got an email that Costco had $200 off on Easter Sunday (4-9-2023) only. I ended up ordering the tires that day for both cars. I'll get the Pilot tires installed later this month when I can take off the Blizzak snow tires.



^4-12-2023.


^4-12-2023. New tire date is the 9th week of 2023.



^4-12-2023. Old Continental tires dated 16th week of 2016.

I was wishing I didn’t have my snow tires still on today. Had a two hour round trip to make and they are loud and don’t give the best ride when it is in the 70’s.

We put the Michelin CrossClimate2's on Donna's Honda. Good tire. She has 13k on them now.
