    Debating getting a Passport Card

    It's crazy, isn't it? It looks like a picture from the 1850s. And this is despite their warnings on their website that all photos have to meet their very strict standards, so be sure to go to a professional.... I'm assuming they have the real high-res version scanned in somewhere if they need...

    Oil Change Stickers: Display Last Service or Next Service Due?

    Are you here for any reason other than to mock us? It's just like if you were on a cooking and baking forum, mocking the members because they don't go to restaurants.

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    Would you prefer "CUV's are eating the sedan's lunch"?

    Uninspired Auto design

    I don't know if its the same issue or not, but I remember one article in CR being extremely harsh about the Yugo, as opposed to the two or three other cars they were comparing it to. They wrote in great detail about how the hot/cold slider on the dash, for example, which had a return spring...

    If you could change one thing on your daily driver what would it be?

    It's never been my daily driver, but my WRX could use better brakes. I understand now why some owners spend $$$$ to get the STI calipers and rotors. I think even my Fiero has better brakes than my WRX.

    If you could change one thing on your daily driver what would it be?

    My winter beater Honda Fit could use a bigger gas tank. It gets great gas mileage.... But that is tempered by its tiny tank. Could also use a heated steering wheel on days like this.

    You don't? Really? We never would have guessed.

    Subaru Filters Upside down harmful on Starts?

    +2 The little O-ring on the bottom (on the GMs at least) seal the housing and unscrewing the cap lifts the filter enough to "pop the cork".

    Nissan Alzheimer???

    My dad always mispronounced that other big GM brand as "Chevellay".

    Post milestone or just plain fun odometer pics!

    It is! It's nice to have because the Honda Fit has no temp gauge.... No other auxiliary gauges either so I use the scangauge to monitor coolant temp and volts. Plus whatever else I feel like watching like spark advance and catalyst temp LOL.

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    In this thread? I must've missed it. About 2/3 of the posts are about full-size pickups and most of the rest are about CVTs.

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    Civic and Corolla are bouncing back from a couple really low years after the pandemic, but even at +21% and +22% they are both way, way WAY behind where the sales numbers were a decade or so ago. I tend to think all those CUVs have taken away a lot of sedan sales.

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    The Nissan Rogue (#8 on the list) still being on it's way down? It's a CVT.

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    Exactly. They know it's an "Automatic", but beyond that, most people have no idea. Try describing the differences between a regular automatic and, say, a CVT and a Ford "Powershift". Watch their eyes glaze over after about two sentences.

    Heated windshield: A Midwesterner's dream!

    Or they lived in a condo in Florida. Jerry's parents on "Seinfeld", for example.

    What is the silliest reason you got a ticket for?

    I got one of those one night in Eau Claire Wisconsin; the cop pulled me over after following me for a number of miles and he said my license plate light was out. I was suspicious, because not fifteen minutes earlier I was out of the car at a gas station, filling my window washer reservoir (this...

    RAV4 dethrones F150 as best selling car (vehicle) in the U.S.

    A war we've had on this forum many times before. "Chevy+GMC" vs. "F-series". We'll never agree which side is more correct.

    What is the silliest reason you got a ticket for?

    When I was about 18 or 19, I got a bunch of tickets-by-mail from the city of Chicago, for various parking infractions. Parking in a tow zone, parking in a loading zone, parking by a fire hydrant, etc, etc. However, I'd not been to Chicago on any of the dates shown on the tickets (and...

    2025 Compass - rental review

    It is a non-unattractive vehicle. Between this car, the FWD Cherokee, and the Grand Cherokee, Jeep's stylists are doing a lot of things right. I wouldn't actually buy one, mind you, but I would welcome one as a rental. I have a couple rentals coming up so maybe I'll get my chance.

    What is the silliest reason you got a ticket for?

    Not a ticket, but I got a written warning for using a cell phone while driving. In reality, my phone was at home the whole time and the cop saw me looking down at the radio display to see the name of the song that was on. I didn't realize immediately that that must've been what he saw, because...
