Amazon is the online Walmart now. They do books, movies, grocery items, everything.

Best to use an analog version. My digital did not pick up on the multiple faulty spots on my TPS that was causing rough/random shifting and acceleration "glitches". I knew it was the TPS as it was directly related to throttle angles. Replaced it, all was perfect again. Tested my old TPS on an...

Well I think you are somewhat right. The smaller the displacement of the engine, the more rpms it generally needs to make decent power. But the 4.6L in the CVPIs and the 5.0 in the mustangs are commonly run at high rpms and there arent an abnormal amount of wear issues. Especially with the...

I know my car seems to run better fresh after a highspeed high RPM run. I am not hitting my rev limiter but its getting high in its range. Used to notice it when I had to do a long haul run to a highschool class I was teaching. They were 30 miles out of town all empty highway. Car ran better...

I used to use it until I got the side effects listed above. Now I spray my windows with Eagle 1 Nano Wax Spray and its WAY longer lasting and no side effects when it wears down.

My fav is collinite 845. Very tough, even againest our road salt. It still shines.

I dont believe it does, only inhibits oxidation I think.

Progressive cut my rates this last 6 month renewal as well. Likely because I just turned the magic age, 25. I gotta say their rates had always been fair to me. They increased slightly(50.00 over 6mths) when I picked up my Crown Vic to replace my old daytona though. I carry liability and...

Reminds me of last spring. I killed myself one weekend making my car shine again from the salty crud filled grip of winter. Then kept it detailed every few days, my gf at the time said, "I am starting to think you love the car more than me". Well, its almost December and I still have the car.

I use 5w30 with the MC 820 filter. Have used it now on 2 OCI. Doesn't seem sluggish even in the coldest temps here, then again we are like Alaska cold either. No odd sounds starting in cold temps either. I just keep to 5w30 because I know thats what its had for its service life. The guy I...

Maybe drain the rest of the oil out and take a look at it before firing it up. If it looks ok(no 'glitter' or chunks of anything odd), refill it will clean cheapo oil and fire her up. I really fail to see how THAT much oil could have gotten out through the cap opening to spray enough oil out to...

My insurance just got majorly rate cut! On my 98 CVPI, I used to pay 420.00 for 6 months of coverage with progressive. I have liability(15,000 is state min, I carry 25K), and comprehensive(I live in the highest area of deer collisions). This upcoming 6 month period my rates got cut to 294.00...

This reminds me, I have badly forgotten mine lately. I last changed my oil Nov 17, 2007....4200 miles ago. School is killing me slowly.

I gotta admit I used to LOVE their double CBs. Of course, I also weighed 225lbs at 5'8. When I stopped eating there and buying other snacks I started losing tons of weight. I am now 145lbs. I only go there maybe once a year at most now. Its still tasty to me, but I just avoid it. I don't want...

I wouldnt think so. Not in the concentrations you would likely expose them to. Keep in mind, gas is around 15% toluene - which is of course a pretty strong solvent. Also, most states have you using 10% ethanol. Gasoline itself is a pretty good solvent overall as well. Seals and gaskets used...

I am guessing, MMO as an upper cylinder lube additive.

The wax should pour out easily, sorta like syrup. Just shake the bottle back and forth very fast for about 30 seconds. It will have a very slippery feel then as you apply it. I use 845 on my CVPI and it makes it look like glass. And with temps getting colder, it makes the wax hard as glass as...
