    Chevy Colorado Truck of year

    I thought the advantage of aluminum was that it would not rust?? If you're in the north east, that is a huge selling point. I like that the F-150 is almost 700lbs lighter. I'm failing to see the disadvantage in an all aluminum body?

    Amazon package lost.

    As a general reminder to everyone: Tis the season, be careful as a lot of thieves simply follow the UPS drivers watch them drop off the package then swoop in and grab it...

    Japanese industry ethics slipping?

    A few years back I remember Toyota being voted the most deceptive company by some watchdog company. Why? Toyota announces how earth friendly they are (the Prius is the 2nd coming of Jesus...yada yada yada). Yet had more lobbyist fighting pollution control in Washington than any other car...

    Hmmm. I prefer to be outnumbered by animals.

    used car shopping, looking for opinions

    Going Used? You should be looking at the previous owner. I'd take a popular opinion "Less" reliable car that has a full service history OVER a Corolla or Civic that has an unknown. Yup, I'd take a chevy cruze or Malibu with a good solid history over a civic that may or may NOT have had...

    Which tires for 2014 Mustang GT?

    Originally Posted By: ddtmoto I have the Cooper RS3-A on my '11 Brembo 19" package GT.

I sure would like to try Michelins...

    Oil change or wait??

    I would change the air filter first since changing the air filter tends to let a little dirt into the oil, THEN change the oil in day or two. I could be wrong but I don't think your fuel additive will affect your new oil. Just drive till your tank is almost empty to get the most cleaner...

    Elio Motors. Would you buy one?

    Pep Boys is their national service center. Smart move, probably eases the fear of not being able to get service/parts.

    Surprised but not really..........

    I've had several Honda dipsticks read low after changing the oil and filling to what the manual calls for- Actually, I wouldn't call it low it was smack dap in the middle of the dipstick readings -therefore safe. So it must be a safe zone. (1 qt )

    Cooper Zeon RS3-A Long Term Impressions

    The Made in China badge is the one thing that has me angry. Love the Zeon's otherwise. The Tire shop told me the Zeons were made in the USA (I do think the summer tires are: RS3-S) Having said that, made in China doesn't mean inferior quality- The iPhone and most Apple products are made in...
