    Replacement struts

    This is anecdotal, but I am not a fan of KYB. I replaced the shocks on my Ford Bronco from the eighties back in the day (probably mid-nineties.) They hardly did any damping. And they were supposedly gas charged, but very lightly so compared to other brands. They didn't stay on for long. They...

    Sirius XM

    They seem to enjoy prolonging this Kabuki theater where every year I have to call up to cancel, then they give me the discount I was already getting the last five years. I need it for the traffic on my nav on my car, which saves me some time getting to work. Overall, I would say that their music...

    How old does my BMW look?

    Does styling even matter anymore? I remember thinking how hideous the new Lexus spindle grilles looked. Now after a few years, they don't bother me. Same with lots of weird styling--the high hoods mandated by European regs, the over the top Lexus SUV wrinkles and folds, the busy-ness of modern...

    Spotted; Early Karmann Ghia

    Obviously DrTyler knows more about KGs than I do. I based my opinion that the KGs had a pancake motor purely on their appearance. I remember while working at a gas station and checking the oil on one, the engine appeared to be much lower in the car than a Beetle did. I stand corrected and hope...

    I need help understanding if Redline or Amsoil is worth it.

    It's obviously not always a rational decision. Lots of us here love our cars. Sometimes there's just a nice zen feeling to using the best product and taking the extra step to keep your car happy.
