Two different articles that seemed to just go together. The tires especially, though I know the idea has been around for some time, still just look weird to me. The carbon fiber wheels are very interesting! Mustang GT350R's carbon wheels use space shuttle tech Hankook's high-speed tests...

My wife had been putting mostly highway miles on the Fusion in my sig and, using syn oils, I was changing the oil about every 6 months/6 to 7 thousand miles using syn oils, mostly PP but also some QSUD. The last year though she's changed jobs and now there's a lot of short tripping. Her work is...

I have suggested in other posts that Microsoft was planning to move to a subscription model with Windows. The following article seems to be saying the same thing, notwithstanding any previous denials on Microsoft's part. Why Microsoft Won’t Produce New Windows “Versions” "Jerry Nixon, a...

I'm picking up a new Autocraft Gold for the F150 from AAP today. I've read several threads on this site referencing freshness but am unsure what is considered fresh and what is not. What should I look for? What is acceptable or unacceptable? How old is still considered fresh? How old is too old...

So, I was just looking at Advance Auto's site and came across the Blitz RhinoRamps. I've seen them many times of course but never really considered them for oil changes. I thought the car needed to be on a level surface in order to drain the oil properly/completely. If you use just one set of...
