    Last production day of the Ford Ranger, St.Paul

    Isn't GM coming out with an updated Colorado pickup design? I bought my '00 Nissan Frontier (4x2 with 4cyl) used in '03 with about 27k (now with 175k) on the clock. There is a market for a small pickup truck still. I do not need a large (F150 and up) sized p/u. Ford is giving away market share imho.

    150 brand-new 1997 Neons uncovered

    I was stationed in Singapore from July 1992 to October 1996. Singapore is unarguably the most expensive country(city-state) to own a passenger vehicle. There are several steps a person must take in order to purchase a vehicle. 1st step: bid on a "certificate of entitlement" that gives you...

    Do I need to run Auto-RX before using lubromoly?

    I was thinking about switching over to lubromoly synthetic motor oil or even Eneos motor oil in my '00 Nissan Frontier 4 cylinder with 173k on the clock. Do I need to run some Auto-RX for a flush or can I just switch over? The engine does not burn any oil, my main concern is that it switching to...

    New GM vs Old GM

    That is why I will not purchase another American made automobile with the possible exception of Ford since they did not take any bailout money. My wife and I just bought a certified pre-owned BMW X-3.

    Question about behavior in the military.

    Not only would that behavior would have gotten the offending individuals kicked off the range, the recruit(s) would be explaining his/her actions to the XO/CO as well. In other countries however, assault/battery upon a recruit could possibly be the norm. In a professional force such as in the...

    Entry level audiophile turntables. Looking- Help!

    Rega is an excellent turntable. Go with a MM cart, no step up amp needed. Also, go with a belt turntable, less rumble. Just my 2 cents.

    Passion for Nissan?

    My '00 Nissan Frontier with the 2.4 liter has been absolutely bullet proof. It has a bit over 170k miles on the clock and all I have done to it has been preventive maintenance it is on it's 3rd set of tires. An excellent work truck/commuter vehicle. Originally Posted By: stephen9666 My 1999...

    Castrol Edge 7X better than Mobil ! ?????????????

    One more thing, maybe Castrol could use Donnie Baker of "Bob and Tom" fame to plug their product, at least it would be funny.

    Castrol Edge 7X better than Mobil ! ?????????????

    I bet the commercials for Castrol in all flavors in Europe are a bit more "mature" than the "Think with your dipstick, Jimmy" routine here in the States.

    Motorweek and Motor Flushes

    Top Gear is entertainment first that is for sure, but the cinematography, camera angles and production values on the show are top notch. The three co-hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Rodger Hammond and James May do not take themselves to seriously. However, as an American, you got to listen to the light...
