Are there any reliable wagon that has some oophm? I dont remember if the Caddy is still in production but are there other sleeper option? As much as I love to own a European machine, I cannot responsibly do it. I don’t even think my handy mechanic works on them. I see the Cadillac CTS Wagon...

Are carparts and partsgeek still good place to buy parts? My 2002 Accord just failed inspection today for all brake pads and rotors. I can see the rear need replacement but the front still look very good. The vehicle sat for 30+ days while I was on extended vacation so the rotors showed rust...

I am on vacation in Canada and my 2012 Fit (185/55R16) just got a flat. I visually checked the tires before heading out to the train station this morning and the front tires look slightly low but I figured it was due to the wheel being turned causing them to look low. They drove fine to the...

They have good price on Honda coolants and I want to pick up two jugs. I can't tell how much Honda dealership charges but I want to change the coolant at the same time as the next oil change scheduled for this week before my big trip to Alaska...

We saw a 2024 Santa Fe this weekend while at the car wash and had to go to the dealership to check it out. My newest car is 13 years old belove Honda Fit Sport so I am not accustomed to all the latest features and doodads. If I wasn't so frugal and the sticker price wasn't so high before the...

I am still hunting road warrior vehicle and went to several dealerships and came away with total disgust with the prices. The only vehicle I think is of a reasonable deal is the F350 crew cab gasoline (four full-size door and 4x4). It is a XL model and I did a quick comparison against a...

I have a small solar charger and it comes with two connector types. The first is the alligator clips so I know I can just clip those in the battery and know that I get at least 4 decent hours of sunlight on my backup battery. The second type is the 12 volt cigarette lighter male connector and...

Their prices seem a lot higher now comparing to before. Not just higher because of manufactured inflation but just higher prior. Some of their 2-year old models cost more than MSRP of brand new current model. Just wonder if there are hidden benefit of buying at Carmax.

A few days ago, my wife said the car made beeping sound while she was driving back home. I drove it for about 100 miles the next day and didn’t hear anything. But it rained some today and high humidity and I noticed the following while driving home: 1) Headlights flickered a few times. 2)...

Is there any decent used Bimmer models out there or should I just go find a used Lexus IS 350? Is it that painful to even change oil since there is no dipstick? Sometimes I wonder if I should just get a Bimmer key so the wait staffs in Old Town know what time it is when I flopped it on the table.

I don’t drive my cars much anymore with working from home and parts of the year we’re busy with work even on weekend. But I notice that I enjoy driving this vehicle even more now and given it a little extra acceleration more than usual. It is an automatic and had been living on M1 0W20 the...

I really like to purchase a vehicle to have as a joyriding, weekend, family vehicle, and possibly other non-ordinary activities. Whenever I look for new vehicles, I always tend to head toward Honda because they are generally very easy to maintain and very reliable with basic maintenance. I...

AAP and AutoZone both indicate they sell about 1 every 6-9 months if they are lucky. The last time I got a 151R was at Auto Sine for almost $160 abut 8+ years ago and that was because the factory battery kept dying and I needed one for the wife. Not sure how much Wally charge at the time but...

Once a year or longer, the 02 Accord sputters a bit at start up as if it wants to shut off. The last time it did it is probably over 18 months ago but it did it last night when my kid drove. My kid has always been to give the engine a little gas and that seem to solve the problem. I am going...

Very frustrated that they don’t carry this. They have Platium but not Ultra Platium. M1 EP is $2 more than regular FS but rated for 20k instead of 10k miles. Does anyone use EP and have OCI at 15k and beyond?

Uninformed question: do they sell fuel efficient ICE in Germany or they just sell high performance machines or at least VW that can do 140 mph. And can we Americans handle having an Autobahn? We copied their interstate highway system from WWII for our interstate, why not adopt higher speed...

Anyone has pictures of your timing belt upon replacement? My 02 Accord V6 looked great when changed at 125k miles. Vehicle has about 220k miles now and the whole kit is under $200 from Gate. I am thinking about having it done in 10k miles at the same time as serpentine belt and apart plugs...

They list several 2023 Challenger SXT and Ram 1500 Big Horm for more than $6k below MSRP but when I got to the stealership, those were marked above MSRP. I asked if there were any promotion sales and they said ‘No’ so Inshowed then the internet listing and they said they just sold all of those...

For those no longer required to drive a lot for work and not enough opportunities to drive for leisure, is there a faster way to achieve high mileage trophy? I want to have a vehicle with 300k+ and I have two vehicle that can get there but not anytime soon. My 2002 Accord V6 is at 220k and is...
