If you have ever drove this road any day of the week it can be a *****. It is enough to keep me from simply going down to Santa Cruz for a weekend day.

I looked at a 2018 Fusion before buying the Mazda 3 for my wife. I would only consider the 2.5L as I am not an ecoboost type of guy. However, the Ford dealer was like who are you who is looking for a basic Fusion. So I went to Mazda for a basic Mazda 3 and found one of the lot that passed my...

Simply stocking oil for several cars. All run in temps between 40-90F 10 1/2 months of the year with only a few weeks higher than 90F and a few between 34-40F. Fuel mileage negligible to me. Ends me having 5 gal. containers with 0.5 qts. of different oils left so I can now combine into one...

2018 Mazda 3 @ 107,000 miles. Initially 0W-20 while under warranty but switched to 5W-20 after expiration. Always use Motorcraft filters in all my cars Ford or not except my AMC. What went in is the same as what came out.

Sounds to me like a carb problem. I have six cars with carbs although they are all Autolite and I know their in's and out's. Don't know Rockchester but the guy in the video below does. I get all my carb parts from Mike's.

This weekend which is now over for me: 1) New front struts in the 2004 Focus with Motorcraft parts, 2) Oil change and car wash of my wife's 2018 Mazda 3. Not so easy when it takes an hour to vacuum as last time was two weeks ago, 3) Replace valve covers and especially leaky worthless gaskets...

No the 626 transformed into the 6 in 2002.

The 4th Gen Mazda 626 from 87-92 and Volvo 240 from 88-93. Not going further back as I would get carried away.

Last Wednesday, after waiting seven months, I finally got all the weatherstrips for my 72 Ambassador wagon. The originals were falling apart.

I see chains can be quite handy for a lot of things. Surprised I didn't see any zip ties or maybe I missed them.

I used AAA to tow me three times in 2024. Cougar with dead coil, 626 with slashed gas tank, and AMC that blew off the lower radiator hose. All three guys between 30-55 were very professional.

Yes, he who is going to break in a Mercury 410 as soon as my camshaft arrives.

My pet peeve? Drivers simply not paying attention which describes many.

Obviously like the 93 240 I can see. I'm jealous!

Mazda 626 wouldn't start last Saturday. There was a click so think starter first. Got one ordered and today it went in. I definitely prefer changing out a starter on my V8's. Even my Focus is easy since the starter is front and center. Piece of cake. The 626 has an intake support bracket in the...

Next to one every Saturday

One of my favorites along with the F-8 and F-14. Below is the very last carrier launched F-4S Phantom II.
