    Your next car?

    I think the danger of compressed air in these vehicles is overestimated. Scuba divers work around (and strap on) 300 bar air tanks all the time. In any case, is it more dangerous than a tank full of gasoline or gasoline fumes? It is an interesting concept, but I'm not sure about the...

    Getting rid of my VW 1.8T - What to buy?

    The best car the size of the 4-door Civic is a 4-door Civic. The perfect commuter imo.

    Yeah, but they throw in a quart of ATF to boost the add pack.

    How long on factory fill?

    I like to change by 1k with dino (because I'm going to dump it anyway), then at 3k with synthetic. But then when I trade or sell a car, I always think about all the money I could have saved using a combination of Supertech and FAR Maxlife. May be a wacky conspiracy theory, but I firmly believe...

    ATF experiences for DEX II/III application

    Did the Toyota dealer do a flush or did they do a drain and fill? I'd be hesitant to do a flush, especially for a trans with over 100k on it. Seems to me the best way to test the issue is to fill it with whatever Toyota spec'd for the car. DexVI is backwards compatible with DexIII, but this...

    How much is Overfilling?

    GM recommends overfilling by a quart because of oil starvation issues in high-G turns and braking. That's one of the reasons they cite for the dry sump on the C6 Z06. I overfill our Xterra by half a quart for peace of mind because it only has a 3.5 quart capacity. Half a quart is an extra 14%...

    Toughest, most durable wax/protectant

    Do the new Zaino products offer a deeper shine than the older generation of products? Zaino has always given a very shallow, "Mop-N-Glo" shine to me. And Zaino makes too many darn products! They should at least split them into professional and consumer lines. I want to feel like I'm buying a...

    Acetone Fuel Additive Update

    Just to be the devil's advocate here. If very small amounts of acetone dramatically increase fuel economy, why isn't it already blended into gasoline?

    What do you feed your dog?

    Our lab mix (Lucky) and lab pup (Daisy) both get Iams Large Breed. The Daisy gets the puppy formula. We tried Lucky on Pedigree once. Cost half as much but we had to feed him twice as much. Twice the feeding meant twice the lawn cleanup. Back to the Iams.

    What's up with the price of a Hair Cut

    Cut it yourself with clippers and some guards. It sounds as if you wear it very short, which makes it easy. I don't pay for oil changes and I don't pay for haircuts.

    Missing Alabama girl in Aruba.....

    I'm sorry the girl is missing, and I hope they determine the perpetrator and bring him to justice, but... Is she REALLY the only woman in or from the United States who was killed in the last month? I'm so tired of the media cherry-picking these stories for their trashy intrigue and wide...
