    Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 UHP summer tires

    I just bought a set of these for my 2.0 Accord. I have read and seen good things about these tires as a budget summer tire. I have never run summer before and I will be waiting until mid-May before installing running them. Anybody have experience and / or an opinion on these Firestone summer tires?

    New Kia K5 GT first oil change

    Sweet new sled you're rocking. Man I love me a shiny black car even though they are a b!tch to keep looking clean. I've been using Armor Shield DIY ceramic coating on my car and you can usually catch a sale to get a decent price.

Now she has money for any unexpected maintenance or repairs that may crop up. My son bought his own first car as well. His first job was at Car Max and...
