Ex-Girlfriend Strikes Back on Acura TL

Fat Friday: Car Forum Advertiser Spotlight #1

Here at Speedvine we have decided to start “Fat Friday”. Why the name? Every Friday we’ll spotlight advertisers and benefactors that keep the wallet’s of car forum owners “fat”. Let’s face it, without those banner ads, Google Adsense text links and pop-up’s, some forum owners could not afford to foot the expensive hosting bills. With that said, off we go.
- HRE Wheels - This wheel company sponsors forums such as 6speedonline. If you’re in the market for top-shelf rims, these are some good guys to go to.
- Cars Direct - This car friendly website helps you buy, sell or trade your ride. They can be seen all over Acurazine.
- Tire Rack - One of the best places on the internet to find tires, this company can be found pretty much on any car enthusiast forum. They even advertise right here on Speedvine.
5 Crash Resistant Volvo Forums

Volvo Cars was founded in 1927 in the town of Gothenburg, Sweden. Since then, their focus has been directed towards creating safe, comfortable cars. From 1944 to 2007, Volvo has led safety initiatives for passenger cars by setting milestones ranging from 3–point front safety belts to front fog lamps. It’s safe to say that these 5 Volvo forums will be around for quite some time.

Question: Is JTuned in Hibernation?

One of our favorite sites/forums is JTuned.com, the Japanese car bible. Since September 9th of 2007 they have been working behind the scenes on a redesign of their already superbad home on the web. But when are they coming out of hibernation? Come on guys, if you keep this up we’ll need to get a JDM IV-drip installed to keep one of our addictions under control.
Happy New Year from Speedvine
