    Where to take a Mercedes for an oil change when no MB dealer is nearby?

    So, a few more days yet? Shipping doesn't take forever.

    Oh, you've seen a few Hondas too!

    What in tarnation?! - Ford Ranger 3.0L Vulcan PCV

    We have (or used to have) a small fleet of 3.0 Rangers for our service technicians. I would get the call 6-8 times a year that so-and-so was stranded somewhere with a Ranger that would not start. Invariably, it was because of this hose. Our mechanic started keeping a couple spares on-hand...

    Dealer add on prices.

    There was one by me listed for $25K. I didn't note the mileage but I did notice the entire underframe and frame rails were sprayed with bedliner, which had then been painted over, probably hiding a LOT of rust. This was at a corner used-car lot..... I wonder what kind of crazy interest rate...

    Someone explain the EZ Pass toll program to me

    Some states have an annual fee, or other hidden costs. I once read an article listing the various advantages of each state's system (within the EZ Pass network), and recommended a couple specific states which have the most advantageous "deal". In other words, no, you don't have to be a...

    $2.50 for pump air?

    That's what I do too. Functioning air hoses (free or otherwise) have gotten super rare around here.

    Stellantis names new CEO: Antonio Filosa

    The cynic in me believes the Ram split happened only as a means to keep the successful truck brand within the corporate umbrella, in the event that some unforseen event (bankruptcy, government mandate, new ownership direction, or whatever) meant they had to spin off Dodge.

    Good Source for One Off Sockets, Wrenches ?

    If I need it right now, like RIGHT NOW TODAY, I'll just go grab one at Home Depot. Obviously it wasn't a must-have tool if I didn't have it already, so buying one from a big box store will suffice until I have time to get a better one elsewhere.

    Stellantis names new CEO: Antonio Filosa

    What's next, making Wrangler a standalone brand too? Tundra? Mustang? Camry? Ram as a standalone brand is basically Geo or Scion, except with trucks.

    Do you replace oil drain plug washer...

    The Jiffy Lubes and their 300-ft/lbs installers probably are the only things that can make them leak. The seal probably deforms eventually.

    Do you replace oil drain plug washer...

    The GMs with the built-in hard plastic (or is it rubber?) seal is the best design.

    Do you replace oil drain plug washer...

    It's good to start a new poll each year. People may have changed their vote!

    As recommended by the Department of Redundancy Department.

    Daughter thinking about a WRX

    I'll take an '04-'05 (or whatever the "Blobeye" generation was) in blue, while you're at it!

    2024 Subaru WRX TR

    Cladding which ironically wasn't present back in the heyday of their rally racing program. I guess what works on the Crosstrek is going to have to go on everything else too.

    Will Apple air tag stop misuse of cars in for service?

    I bought a used car a few years ago that had a tracker in it..... It apparently had been there for years. Maybe the dealer was using it to track the P.O.?

    Will Apple air tag stop misuse of cars in for service?

    I took a car to an independent shop where they broke that rule. It reeked when I picked it up!

    2025 Jeep Wrangler Rental

    I wanted to pick a Wrangler last month when I was in Las Vegas but they were in a different pricing tier, substantially higher than the "standard SUV" category my Hyundai Santa Fe came from. It was something like double the price. I think popularity and demand drive the rates to a large...
