How tough is this engine? Are they long life engines? I'm thinking of getting a cheap station wagon with this engine with close to 160,000 miles. Any comments?

OK, looks like the toll will be 13,000 direct and multiples indirect from suppliers etc.

What the domestic makers have been doing is this. OK boys we can only make big pants for whatever reason. So go out there and promote that big is in and is hip. Everybody gets overweight to fit in those pants and the whole population wants to get overweight. Then suddenly the doctors order...

I'm not surprised and the upper management and sales and marketing are totally to blame here. With rising gas costs and severe environment concerns to come anyone and anybody holding a huge portfolio of hemis and big vehicles and nothing small and efficient and GOOD in the chain RIGHT NOW is in...

What has been the experience of users when they switched to GC with higher mileage engines? Since it is on the heavy side of a 30, I would expect less consumption. But what is the real world experience?

Rarely have I been "hit" with a car that seems so nice to have. The new European Honda Civic 5 Door looks stunning and the performance of the diesel option beats the 1.8 liter gasoline Vtec to boot with 55 mpg! Why bother with hybrids? when a hybrid battery goes bad won't there be a serious...

I'm shocked at the tardy reaction of the rescue and aid efforts. I thought this happened in the USA. In third world countries people are more "accustomed" to surviving on the minimum of requirements. When you grow up in a city, once the infrastructure breaks down, it's a different ball game...

If you can't see a gas SHORTAGE on the horizon.....

So I used some today to clean the kettle, then I got thinking............. Why can't I use this stuff to clean radiators and cooling passages... in the car??? Anyone ever try this?

To be blunt, you need a better dealer. Make sure you have issues documented and contact Acura Head Office.

What you should note is that both pass the caliper min thickness test. The right one is made by Wagner, the one on the left I don't know but is the one that garages mostly order as "new" rotors and about $10 cheaper. When you pick up the rotors you notice the difference in weight. Learnt my...

BTW, above is for same car. Guess which one can survive a "shave on the lathe"?
