I was previously looking specifically for a Mazda 3, but the selection isn't very good. I think I'm going to have to expand my search to other makes/models. My must haves are as follows: Must be reliable Must be able to tow a trailer weighing 1000 lbs (loaded) Must not have a CVT, or a manual...

I'm interested in a used Mazda 3 hatchback model. I have about $10K to spend (give or take a grand or two). I'd like to have the 2.5 for the extra power, but I wouldn't totally rule out the smaller engines if they aren't a complete dog. My biggest pet peeve with the 3 looks like it's going to be...

Have you seen any of the brand's model lineups recently? The industry is going through some major uglies right now in the styling departments. Just about every model from every major company has gone extremely ugly. HD seems to be about the same as they always have been as far as looks, but just...

I don't get it. This epidemic seems to be taking over the entire country, and getting worse by the day, and yet LEOs basically let people off with a slap on the wrist. Drivers fleeing from police also seem to be getting out of control. I think penalties need to be much more harsh on these...

Most of the smaller (24" to about 30") two stage units seem to be about the same from brand to brand. Most seem to have engines built in some other country, most seem to have multiple speeds, and most seem to be about 5-10 HP. I've been looking at Craftsman, Toro, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, etc., and...

I've been looking at trailers to use for hauling my motorcycles (mainly just one of them). I'll be hauling it with my Corolla, so I'm looking at very light weight trailers. The car is only rated for towing a max weight of 1000 lbs. I have towed bikes behind this vehicle before (bikes weighing up...

For those of you who have one, did you move on to the Spyder from a two wheeled MC? I'm contemplating doing this for several reasons. I currently own a 2018 Gold Wing. My wife won't ride with me because she's never been comfortable on two wheelers, but she said she'd consider riding on a Spyder...

Considering the ever increasing number of dangerous, unlicensed, unregistered, and uninsured drivers in my area, I've decided to install dash cams in both my, and my wife's vehicles. Problem is, I know nothing about them. I did a quick search on Amazon and there seems to be a lot of choices in...

I remember having the windshield in my '66 Bel Air replaced. That thing was heavy and thick, like about 1/2" thick. Windshields today are maybe 1/8" thick. That thing isn't going to stop much. I don't know how these windshields can even be considered as safe...when did windshields get to be so...

Let's talk about some of today's ugly automotive styling trends. Over sized grills. Grills have gotten way to big on many of today's vehicles, to the point of being hideous looking. Black plastic body panels that go all the way around the bottom of the vehicle. Most, if not all modern SUVs have...

Remember when you could buy a stripped version of a Mustang, Camaro, or even a turbo Regal with all of the go fast goodies? I had an '87 T-Type that was every bit as quick as a Grand National, but it cost much less because it didn't have all the options of the GN. GM did this with the LT1...

My BIL just bought one and he let me put a few rounds through it. It worked flawlessly. The price is definitely right, though availability may still be not so great, I have been seeing some listed at MSRP ($199). I know they have been marked up because demand was so high, but now I think they've...

Does anyone here have any knowledge about this whole life plan? I read what they post in their ad, but I'm sure they, like every other insurance company, don't disclose any of the bad aspects. Most of the time us consumers have to find that info on our, and it's usually finding out the hard way...

I did see the other thread titled "Insurance Shopping", but it's a bit old, and things may have changed by now, so I decided to start a new one. I have two autos and my home owner's through USAA, and my motorcycles through Progressive. I have noticed my USAA premiums have been increasing almost...

I've seen these things for as much as $40 for ONE blade. That would be a lot for a pair, let alone for just one blade. If there is such a thing as gouge checkers, this is where they need to be looking...

I have an HP 3755 printer connected to a desktop running windows 7. The printer is printing everything in landscape, and there is no option provided to change it to portrait. It also appears to be printing documents at 200-300% size, as the font comes out so big that only 1/2 to 2/3 of the...

The MI Wolverines for winning their first solo national championship since 1948!

For three years in a row now, my motorcycle insurance premiums have gone up come policy renewal time. The reason given is always the same; rates have increased in your area due to inflation, and the resulting higher cost of replacement parts, labor, and everything else associated with vehicle...

Considering the age (19 Years), and mileage (438,XXX) of my current Corolla, I've started the replacement trek, and I've narrowed my choices to these two. This car still runs and drives fine, so I'm in no hurry to replace it. Probably the worst I'll have to deal with is no AC this coming summer...

Way to go Blue! Excellent game by two very good teams. I love watching games like this, back and forth, until one team eventually triumphs. I'm glad it was MI. Threepeat baby!
