Don't know what year that one was, but the one we are getting test rode very well.

And as for off road, that will be what the Escape does, and it has already proven itself, going up the Mtn in virgin snow with street tires!

Some of you may not realize that I also drive the Mustang all winter, with the correct tires.

When you can go off road in the snow (with the Escape), driving on pavement seems tame.
 
Don't know, but it should not need it for the 2 dogs in the back! It is a 2011.

Re: Ride Quality. Her 2009 328 with the handling pkg rode like the wheels were made out of rocks when we first got it. We replaced the "run flat" tires with non run flats (Coopers) and it rode & handled like a true performance luxury car after that.
 
Cut up about 4-5 cord of wood that a Landscaper dropped off for me (at a friends house), then we loaded the rounds in my trailer and brought them around back where we split & stack them.

He did not want the Landscapers truck going across the lawn.

Most of it was Black Birch, and I believe the rest was Silver Maple. The saws fly through the Maple!

Made lots of trips, as I did not want to load up the trailer, as it had just stopped raining this morning.

Also picked up the BMW X-3 with my wife in the AM. Was just over an hour away. Was very impressed, on the way home, mostly doing between 70-80 MPH, except that we got stuck in bumper to bumper on the Tappan Zee Bridge for about 15 minutes, and the darn thing did 28 MPG!!! That is way better than our Escape would have done at that speed.
 
Why doesnt poulan step up their game just a LITTLE and get with the program. They made good saws at one time. They could do it again...
Sigh....agree. And Homelite and McCulloch too. Three brands that all had class leading saws now produce absolute garbage.
 
I'd like to hear the story on Homelite. I heard years ago that John Deere bought out their commercial saw division, then sold it. Then I heard a private citizen, who loved Homelites, bought that, but didn't have any money left to go into production. The guy that owns a local small engine shop told me that 15 or more years ago. He may have been pulling my leg, dunno, Joe.
