Thanks to all for the advice. I am going to get it (new compressor) done. Watched a video on ACs yesterday. The shop seems to know what it is doing; it assures me it will replace all seals and vacuum out the lines. The repair will give us to time to consider and not rush into what we will...

I know I know I know; I gave you the quick version. He is in therapy.

I try explaining this to the Mrs., but she doesn't get it.

My son is 28, lives with us part-time, was using the car to go to work before he lost his job, and is now struggling to find another job. We live on Long Island in New York.

So we have a 2007 Saab 9-5 that has been in the family since new. Started out as my wife's car, and is now my son's. Low mileage--101,000 miles. The compressor blew out-there's yellow dye all over it, and son insists he wants AC in the car. (I wasn't a good BITOG dad-neither of my sons has any...

Just bought a TORO Model no 21472 which is branded as a 22 inch walk behind self-propelled super recycler with a Briggs and Stratton engine. They don't tell you which Briggs and Stratton engine, and I am having a hard time figuring out which one it is, but from what I can find online it has the...

Good luck with your car. I rented one of those in March and was amazed by how well it rode after being convinced for years that GM had lost its way.

I understand leasing costs more than buying --- but my wife's employer pays for the monthly lease so it is not so bad

I watched the tach as my wife drove home last night from a visit to a relative about thirty miles from home. Most of the time, the car is running purely on electric, so 9k OCI isn't as ridiculously long as one would think. It actually is a very good car, at least the one we were lucky enough to...

Thank you for the suggestion. It does sound kind of crazy to do extra changes on a leased car. I should say that the car rarely runs entirely electric. It needs to start the ICE engine when accelerating onto a highway. You can set it to run entirely electric but we never do that , just leave it...

So the Mrs. drives an Alfa Romeo Tonale, which is a hybrid with a very small (1.3L) ICE engine driving the front wheels when the battery is low. It's actually been a pleasure to lease, comfortable ride, quiet, and very good on gas. The Plug in feature with 120 volts allows us to get about 31...

Optimum car wash from Autogeek you can get a gallon that will last you several years for $32. Works great- leaves a nice shine.

Half a tank of regular just went in today. Seemed to be just as peppy, but no big hills. will compare.

Sympathize with you, I've been there. Change the PCV or clean it often, switch to 5W-40 and pray.
