    Change ATF twice - how many miles btw change?

    I have an '03 MDX Touring. Because of Honda/Acura's miserable history with its trannies I do a 3 quart change every-other oil change. This is about twice per year. Keeps relatively clean fluid in the tranny, keeps costs down, and is relatively easy to do while I'm under it changing the oil. No...

    SRT 8 - 6.1 Hemi

    I've been interested in this vehicle and I'm wondering what your rear world MPG experience is. I know, it's the last thing I should be considering when getting this engine but I wanna know. Thanks in advance.

    Pablo - This is for you!

    I don't understand why you would not change the oil filter after going to the trouble of changing the oil. Are you just trying to save $5 or so? Seems like a false economy to me, like only changing half the spark plugs at a time. While you are doing the job why don't you do a complete job? Just...

    Barn finds....

    From another site but I thought I'd pass it along.... A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner and wife both had died, and there...

    Engine oil bypass kit

    This is a neat site for those not familiar with it. This new bypass kit will save you countless oil changes, plus lots of moola, given the cost of synthetics. They also have exhaust bearings and headlight fluids for both halogen and normal lights. If you get their Butt Dyno watch out! Some have...

    Interesting site...

    Just thought I'd pass along this interesting site, Jay Leno's garage. Some neat videos (I've highlighted the one on the "tank car"). Each video is preceeded by a commercial but once yu get thru that it gets good. Nice one on the McLaren F-1, but see them all. Enjoy...

    Federal Hydra Shok handgun round. Anything more powerful?

    I like the Hydra Shoks. Two in the chest and one in the forehead should stop almost anyone. If that doesn't stop him I'm headin' for the hills!!

    Attn: Pacifica owners

    Good luck with your purchase. For others still in the market today I saw two Saturn Outlooks on the highway. Nice looking. Same as Buick's model but a lot cheaper. If I drive one I'll pass on my observations but from the exterior they look nice. JMO

    CV boot question 95 Camry

    If you're planning on keeping the car a while longer I would recommend the re-built shafts with new boots. The CV joints will have been taken apart and overhauled, in addition to NEW grease and the new boots. They'll be good for about another 100K miles. Cheap preventive maintenance insurance...

    Any thoughts on Pontiac's 3.6L v-6 engine?

    Tonight my son's looking at an '05 Pontiac Montana with the 3.6L V-6. This car is NEW, with only 30 miles on it. Dealer has 3 of them in stock. The other two have the 3.4L engine. Anyone have any experience with the 3.6, or know of any inherent problems with it? would appreciate your comments. I...

    iphone?

    I'd wait on buying one of these things. 1. 1st generation. 2. 2-4 gigs. Will increase..no doubt. 3. $600? Remember when the Razr phone came out? $500. Now you can get them for $50! 4. Can't change the battery? Like the IPODs, in general. 5. 2 year contract? 6. Glass screen? things will change.

    Medevac Helicopters....

    A few of you think that the medical costs for saving a life are too high. To that I say check the obits of your daily papers. I'm sure the folks described there would pay ANYTHING to be able to read the paper with you. You probably also complain about the cost of gas while drinking an 8 ounce...

    "I think most hospitals are now owned by for profit entities" ;... on a building that's been paid for for over 70 years."

    Medevac Helicopters....

    My final statement on this subject is if you or your family are ever unfortunate enought to be involved in a life-threatening situation you will NOT be thinking about how much it is going to cost you to save your life. Your attending physician won't either. Neither will the other 8-10...
