Hey everyone, I love when sellers provide enough information to actually start making deductions on issues with a car they're trying to get rid of. Here's the description in the ad. '98 Taurus, 85,000 miles, selling for $700 because they're tired of dinking with it. Love to hear your thoughts. I...

I would definitely shop around, that seems excessive.

I haven't touched one of these since I rode with a co-worker to air up the low tires on her car and it removed air from the right front. Last resort only, as they can make a bad situation worse.

Jammed a razor blade carpet cutter into the skin between my thumb and hand while installing new carpet in the Shadow. 4 stitches.

For me, it's this or nothing. I've got a whole range of sizes and types from the Rag Company and I love every one of them.

Day in and day out, it was VERY needy. Iron Duke (anchor). It got me through high school, and I was D.O.N.E.

I rented one when I was in Florida last year. Really enjoyed the way it drove, can't imagine what the 3.3T must be like. That 2.5 very much enjoyed using the passing lane on all those little county roads weaving through the Florida backwoods. Don't remember the issue with the unlock button, but...

I'm probably not the right one to ask. I've got Android Auto in the Kia and I really don't see the big deal with it. It duplicates a few of my phone features on the screen and that's really all I see. But folks far younger than I care very much about that stuff so I don't know why they wouldn't...

It's too bad their EV aspirations (and their ability to sell them profitably ) can't support another division, like a new "Saturn" where those folks can concentrate on making world-class EVS, and the ICE folks at Chevy, Buick and GMC can concentrate on making engines that don't self-destruct...

Been fighting this battle for 2 years. Shop #1: My manual transmission was allegedly rebuilt, and appears to have been put back together with no new RTV or seals. Including the input shaft seal, which was putting a tablespoon of oil on my garage floor every night. Shop #2: took the transmission...

I was a Castrol GTX 5W-30 loyalist throughout the '90s.

Too close to, and similarly-elevated to the water for my comfort. And whenever a price seems too good, research research research.

Guilty on that point, but speaking for myself, only for the purposes of flushing out the alleged manufacturing residue that Hyundai has been accused of leaving in their engines, which have allegedly led to failures.

I'm skeptical myself. Half the things I've read said that Honda had a special oil they installed at the factory, the other half said it was just all of the high-moly assembly lube mixed in the oil and that Honda, on that merit alone, wanted you to leave it in until the oci.

Some of the finest car manufacturers in the world put readily available synthetics in the engines on the assembly line. I don't think break-in oils are necessary with the manufacturing technologies in place now. It used to be a forbidden practice to put synthetic oil in a new engine, due to...

Since it's more resistant to heat and oxidation, I don't know why it wouldn't be the better choice in an air-cooled engine. Mine's been getting Mobil 15w50 since it was new in 2004. Running like a champ.

Something definitely amiss at that store. If she demanded "exact change" you weren't going to get that from an ATM. Either her boss threatened her job to not take $100 bills, or they keep nothing in the register. Unfortunately, they'll stay in business because most people use credit cards these...

I use Target bags to cover my alternator and the under hood fuse box, and I wash it. I like to use the foam cannon with the pressure washer, then a couple of buckets of scalding hot soapy water poured over everything, Wash the underneath and non-sensitive parts with the pressure washer, then...

Beauty and the beast.
