2022 Anniversary Camaro Not Happening: Is 2021 The Last Year? by Miguel Tomar Nogueira
Today we can report that Chevy has no plans for the 55th anniversary of the Camaro in 2022. Chevy always does some sort of anniversary special Camaro every few years. What’s so different about the 55th? Why is the 2022 55th anniversary Camaro not happening? Could it be that 2021 is the last year...

On Topic? Cars, anyway: 55 MPH speed limit... by Hachiroku $B%O%A%m%/(B[_2_]
It's interesting to see how many people in this group and others support the 55 MPH speed limit. The question is, where the hell are you on the highway?!?!?! If 55 MPH is supposed to save fuel, and the speed limit is currently 65 MPH in most places, then why, when I'm doing my usual 68-70 MPH, am...

Frugal auto transportation: theories? by Jonathan Grobe
My traditional view of frugal auto transportation has been to have two beaters: (a small car I use most of the time and a larger vehicle for hauling larger cargoes and for backup). I've given up on my small car (a 1984 Chrysler Laser with 265,000 miles and am considering what I should buy next (I...

Tire Pressure Monitor by Luke
I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (w/ Corvette Z06 LS-6 engine). Recently, I had my tires rotated, and now the display for the tire pressure is wrong. It reports the pressure for the back tires as the front tires. The Cadillac dealer wants $15 to "recalibate" the system, but I'd like to do myself....

Oil and Filter Change by Built_Well
I'm going to follow BadGolferMan's lead, and start changing my own oil. There's a great CD-ROM that comes with the book "Auto Upkeep - Basic Car Care" by Michael E. Gray. On the CD is a great checklist of things to do when changing your car's oil. Here it is: --

Alcohol as a fuel by JP White
I went on business trip the Brasil last week. Pretty much all the gas stations sold alcohol as a fuel and at most if not all pumps. (I didn't know enough Portuguese to be able to ascertain if it's 100% alcohol or a mix with gas). The price was about 1/2 that of gas, tho at $3.50 a gallon that's no...
