Just wondering. Do you eat heavy or light? Some use lunch time to work out at the gym and they gulp a bottle full of protein/meal replacement. I eat the same sandwich everyday: Turkey, Wheat bread, lettuce, green peppers, bag of mixed nuts, bottled water, yogurt. Majority of the workers...

After wasting hundreds of dollars, and many stupid mechanics, the suspension noise and wobble was not from premature ball joints. One mechanic said I need a new whole lower control arm for my Elantra. I looked it up on the internet and it doesn't say anything about people changing the lower...

I just watched a French Police Special Forces movie called "The Assault". It's a true story about the 1994 Air France 8969 hijacking that was suppose to crash in the Eiffel Tower. Many of the them used French revolver called the Manurhin MR-73 and as a backup they used semi-automatic pistols...

There's a man from South America on BITOG that restores cars and he has an excellent website on all of his projects. I bought a new hard drive and I lost his website address. Anyone else doing any restoration projects and have a detailed website on it? I am on my 4th of July vacation and have...

The car's previous ball joints went bad after 2,000 miles of driving. I went to the Hyundai dealer to have them installed so I'm guessing it was Hyundai OEM. This time, I bought MOOG ball joints and had a local mechanic fix it. The MOOG only lasted 300 miles! Furthermore, the same local mechanic...

We Americans are programmed to change our oil at 3,000 miles thanks to oil companies. However, as manufacturers recommend extended intervals, more car owners are listening to car manufacturers. Some folks get paranoid if the oil has already been used over 3,000 miles. How many of you still...

I'm on a waiting list for a low-income apartment. These apartments are very popular because it is in a low crime area, it's very clean, zero tolerance on trouble-makers. All of the appliances up-to-date. Super-duper low priced!!! The only problem is: I want a one-bedroom apartment and only 2-3...

Why do powerful dragsters, big bore motorcycles, and hot rods have hesitant, uneven, dying-like idles? I've always wondered that. I tried to find an answer on Google but I couldn't find anything.

POST DATES TOO! Post the old part then the new part!

Just wondering. What was it and how did you recover? I never had any life-threatening illnesses. I want to hear your story.

I doubt I am. I have an Elantra, Made in 1996. Who here drive the oldest car that is used as an everyday driver? A car you put MAJORITY of your miles on? I wanna know. I think someone on here was driving a 1990 Honda Accord.

I won a $40 gift card from a store and they use budget gasoline(I will not say the name because I know the manager and he is my friend). $40 gave me near-full tank of gas. Within 100 miles, I've noticed my Elantra had a feeling equivalent to bad turbo lag at low RPMs. After 2,800 RPM, the...

Sorry, I don't know where to put this question. I've seen a lot of industrial machinery that says it is sealed and the oil, grease, any lube, never have to be changed. Some, however, like the rear end of a RWD car, need to be changed out. If it is a sealed system where contaminants are...

I mentioned long ago if Anti-virus programs were obsolete. I've noticed less and less people are using them because they take up start-up time and overall performance. I have been scanning with Malwarebytes once a week and cleaning my HD with CCleaner. My computer is running nice and clean. So...

Recently I have been reading books about people's rags-to-riches stories. I've done the college thing and I'm still working at a factory. I feel like my life is at its best. However, there are so many success stories of people who were worst than I am and now successful or very successful...

I talked to a Dutch, Spaniard, and a German at a local coffee shop last afternoon. We talked about our favorite cars. All three said that the manual transmission is dying, Europeans never liked the Automatic and that Europeans love the semi-automatic "paddle-shift" transmission. Honestly, I...

I'm talking about old WWII Willy's Jeep. They were heavy 4-cylinder 60 HP but they could still drive through deep mud with 6 or more people on it. Plus, it did this in 4wd. How come modern cars with more HP can't do it? I'm watching a WWII documentary and it seems like the little 60 hp was...

1. How much profit do you make after paying fuel, maintenance and wear and tear on the truck? 2. Big 3 or foreign brands? Why? 3. Do you prefer Diesel or Gas? Why? 4. Manual or Automatic? Why? I've always wondered about this. Bonus Question: What kind of oil and tranny fluid/oil? Thanks.

All of my life, I've been sleeping and awaken at very irregular times. I know this is very harmful for my body and mind. Because of this, I awaken easily. I tried to sleep at a normal time but noise just keep waking me up like my neighbor's noisy cars. Sometimes I would get just 2 hours of...

This song made me cry of happiness and sadness: Made in America Made In America Lyrics my old man's that old man, spent his life livin' off the land, dirty hands, and a clean soul. breaks his heart seein' foreign cars, filled with fuel that isn't ours and wearin' cotton he didn't grow he's...
