    Canceling GAP insurance

    I had gap insurance on my Verano that I totaled last year. It was a small additional monthly fee. When it got totaled I received a pro-rated check. This was all through GM Financial and it happened automatically, I didn't have to do anything to get it.

    What small business pays for oil

    I bet that is a cool store hallstevenson. My place takes credit cards, but it's a very old school place. I'd try to go to that place sometimes. Probably full of neat stuff and some cool old guys.

    What small business pays for oil

    I frequent a small town auto parts store because it's convenient and the owner is extremely resourceful at keeping my Citroens and Ladas going. Anyway, I was talking to him about motor oil. He said he pays $14.50 a gallon for 15-40 Rotella and obviously cannot compete with the Wal-Mart and TSC...

    Keep with Conventional for 2001 Buick?

    I put 252,000 miles on my 2002 Grand Prix before the transmission gave out using nothing but the cheapest 10-30 I could find. The only thing I would suggest is watch coolant level and if the intake gasket goes this is still an affordable repair to an otherwise solid car. I suspect this car will...

    Just Upgraded to 100Mbps Broadband @ 24.95/mo

    When you consider than I pay about $100 a month for about 15 MBPS with a data cap on satellite it's astounding. Most of the country does not have cable TV or Internet. Yet, I bet most of the population doesn't know that.

    Autozone misinformation?

    Makes me really appreciate my local Auto Value where the owner is a wealth of information and knows everything about everything. OIl? He recommends following the manual and sells more Wolf's Head than anything. I've run tons of that stuff without issue.

    Did I mess up getting a civic that sat?

    I'm going to be blunt, I live in the same state as you. You will find no value buying these 20 year old Japanese cars here. This is Michigan, this is the rust belt. You would have been far ahead having bought something like a Cavalier. Yes, they are crude, they'll have their problems. But, you...

    New TourX

    After 3 years and 100k of trouble free Verano driving I got hit by a minivan and had to buy a new car. We ended up with a 2019 Buick Regal TourX Essence with sunroof. So far, it's quite an amazing car compared to what I've had previously rides amazing and is very comfortable.

    Buick Verano Turbo

    I just totaled my 2.4 Verano and had no trouble in 100,000 miles. They only made about 5,000 Turbo Veranos and I know only 212 were manuals. They are good cars. BTW: I just bough a TourX on Saturday
