For years, I have been buying tires from TireRack, opting to mount them and static balance them myself at home. This week, I called TireRack, to order a set of four passenger tires, where I picked a traction A, temperature A, and treadwear 400 tire, with load range 99 and speed W, where the price,...

Came to a screeching halt at a Honda dealer today. Now, they had quite a selection of $32-36,000 Crosstours there, but what caught my eye was http://www.cargurus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/honda-cr-z-21.jpg The Honda CR-Z. Only available as a Hybrid, but the electrics can be turned off...

The EPA is considering 15% ethanol in gasoline up from 10% ethanol for car years 2007 and newer... Well, ethanol is corrosive, has less octane than gasoline, gets less fuel mileage than gasoline, and likely would only be an efficient fuel in an engine with a different operating temperature than...

Is it okay to use the general Armor All spray on the door frame weatherstrips of a 2006 Camry? I've used the product on the dashboard and plastic pieces, but never on the weatherstripping, which is that black rubber-looking stuff tracing the edges of the doors so rain doesn't get in. Is...

Just an observation. When I use gasolines listed as being 'Top Tier' gas, the mileage goes DOWN in my Supra, Scion tC and a Chrysler LHS I had a year ago. I usually use Gulf oil ,since they are local and usually less $$$ than the others in my area. I have always gotten decent MPG with Gulf. The...

I decided to do some touch-up painting on my car where the road pebbles had dinged the paint on the hood in the front near the headlight. I ordered the correct touch-up paint based on the paint color number. I guess I got a little overzealous in my usage, because now I have a pretty funny looking...

Hi We have an Honda Odyssey minivan with an Aluminum engine. My spouse had an animal hit that caused some front end damage (bumper etc). It also damaged the radiator to leak and she drove the vehicle (normal town driving 30-50 mphs speeds) for about another 150 miles over 3-4 days. When I came...

Hello, I just found out that a local fuelling station sells methanol. Is it possible to use a 10 to 15% mix of methanol in 1997 850 Volvos without any problems to the fuel systems? I had hoped that ethanol would be sold at my local fuelling station (along with the biodiesel they already sell); as...

Less than one month ago, I replaced pads and rotors on all four wheels. I've noticed that the front rotors already have lots of grooves. I was careful not letting the new pads get dirt or grit on them when installing, and everything was nice and clean, as far as I can tell. These grooves are not...

My father had a '51 Dodge with Fluid Drive.Reading a '41 sales pamphlet when this transmission came out you get the impression of an ultimate transmission.The span of its production was from'41 to '53-'54.What was the reason for its demise?Was it made obsolete by the state of the art by the other...

I am thinking about buying a Prius. I know that it doesn't pencil out dollarwise, but it would be nice to be able to use the carpool lane (I am in CA). Anyone want to save me from bad decision? Another question: Are HID headlights worth it the bux, compared to modern halogens? I am middle aged...

HI, I thought I would ask the knowing if there is a decent 12 volt heater/defroster that I can get for my Escort. The heater core went and they did the bypass thing as I couldn't afford the heater core replacement, whew, like $700. So, I have been checking into this alternative but most reviewers...

have an 85' chevy S10, with V-6 2.8L...when i run down the highway for a while, after some time, the temp gauge sometimes starts to creep higher and higher eventually leveling off near the high temp zone, and sometimes it just stays right in the middle... perhaps intermittent thermostat? is it OK...

Hello. I've been up and down different info resources online and even to a mech or two. So, here's what I need to know: Let's say the mech has checked everything in the brake system and had found nothing wrong. BUT, the brakes are spongy and the pedal needs to be depressed all the way for a...

My 1991 Plymouth Sundance RS 2.5 TBI w/ 198,000 miles on it had a blown head gasket since this past summer. After it was comfirmed that it was blown, I continued to drive the car. At first, the only symptoms I had was bubbles/foaming in the radiator and overflow bottle. The car was also running hot...
