    Keep or sell Subaru

    If I was in that position I would keep the Grand Marquis. I had several of them and put between 200-300K miles on all of them. I do not fly so drive everywhere. No major work on any of them. Only issues were water pump and a/c work and that was around 150K miles. It is the perfect long...

    Why Recommend High Octane Gas In GDI (non - turbo) Engine ?

    I have never used high octane gas in any vehicle. None in the Caddies,Caprice,Impala,Town Car or Crown Vic. All V8's. Put between 200-300K miles on all of them. All ran perfectly fine on 87 Octane. I still get good gas mileage on my DI 5.3 Tahoe at 100K miles and my other half has a 2015 6.2 DI...

    Your Major Annoyances on Your Car!??

    Fasten your seat belt chimes comes on for 10 minutes once a month for no reason. Rear defroster and rear a/c come on by themselves several times a week. The automatic headlights come on at least 10 times a day every time I go under a underpass for a few short seconds. I get pounded by birds that...

    Am i the only one really disliking SUVs?

    I never thought much of owning a SUV. After renting several Suburbans for long trips I changed my mind and ended up buying a Tahoe. I just feel a lot safer out there on the highway surrounded by tractor trailers in the pouring rain plus less worry driving through flooded streets which happens...

    2019/20 Tahoes

    My 2016 Tahoe LT has 98K miles. Bought it brand new. Besides the A/C Condenser [which GM covered] nothing but plain old regular service every 5K miles. Still have the original brakes but was told by next service it will definitely need rear brakes. Leather is still perfect.

    What is the mileage you normally run an OCI?

    5K miles for me on my 2016 Tahoe. Do not want to go over that much because of the Active Fuel Management.

    Anyone still use 10w30 oil?

    Have not used 10w30 since the 80's. The dealer [Town Motors in Englewood New Jersey] used it in my 88 Town Car with the 302. Then they changed it to 5w30 a year later. Engine seemed quieter on those cold mornings in New Jersey on 5w30. Never used oil on either grade between changes. No issues...

    03 lesabre for hwy cruiser?

    Everyone I know has also. A friend has a 120 mile round trip everyday for work. He bought a 2014 PPV Tahoe with 140K miles from a dealer in N.J. who sells them. Was a supervisor vehicle from down south. He now has over 200K miles with zero issues with no plans on selling it.

    Think im gonna make the switch to high mileage.. which one?

    Have no clue why so many people think they need to switch High Mileage Oil. Put 300K miles on my 4.6 Fords and 5..3 Chevrolet's without ever going to High Mileage Oil. None ever used oil between changes and only used what was written on the oil cap.

    Subaru Quality Strikes Again!!!

    Here in Miami Beach A/C is needed 12 months a year. Even in the winter it is a burning hot sun and jungle humidity the bulk of the time. Winters used to be very low humidity but now it is even humid in the winter months unfortunately. It is impossible to sell a vehicle without ice cold air here...

    The most reliable car I have ever owned was my.......

    2005 4.6 Ford Crown Victoria. Was a former rental. Bought it with 25K miles and sold it with 300K miles. Only needed Water pump and Accumulator for the a/c. All the rest was plain old regular maintenance. There will never be a low maintenance vehicle like that ever again. It took the pounding...

    Altima Cop Car

    NYC had tons of them. Saw them breaking down and being towed often. The best vehicles the NYPD ever had was the V8 92-96 Caprice. Now it is mostly Explorers.
