Stay away. It's a sucker's bet.

Originally Posted By: FL-400S Anyone else feel apprehensive about giving out the VIN through email when selling a car? Like someone emails, wants to see your car, and ask for the VIN to run carfax first? Is it like a SSN for a car? Can someone use the VIN to file a fake insurance claim or get a...

When pondering any company's meaningless "pledge" remember that it is just a marketing ploy. Walmart is a soulless corporation pretending to care so they can get more of your money. Don't be duped by the dollar amount or the sentiment. As for Walmart demanding lower prices from their suppliers...

That article is an absolutely useless piece of you know what. I wonder what iseecars.com paid USAToday.com to run the "article." The website is a joke, too.

I am not a computer expert at all, but anytime you're diagnosing anything you need to eliminate the simple stuff first. So like dparm said check the cables first. I'd take them off and look at the connectors carefully and reinstall. Then I would check the graphics card, if it has one, and make...

Restrictor plate racing is completely unpredictable and the winner could literally be anyone of the 43 drivers. But, Hamlin is a good choice, he's hot right now, or The Little E, he's won before and has the genes. I'd like to see Carl Edwards get off to a good start for once so I'm pulling for him.

Originally Posted By: mrdctaylor No, afa I know the hoses have never been replaced. I can sort of give the guy a pass on missing it. I took it in for an oil leak too. The valve cover gaskets were leaking pretty good. I know some of that oil could have been obscuring the coolant leak and he...

Originally Posted By: mrdctaylor Ok. I think I see the leak, but I can't really see where it is coming from. I think I'll take it to the mechanic this week. Here is the first photo. You can't see the leak, but I put it in for reference. The leak is down deep when you look between the engine and...

Originally Posted By: turtlevette Originally Posted By: KB2008X You've received some good advice so far, and some not so good. OK then. Try all that stuff above. Do a UOA. Take it to a mechanic and spend 1000s diagnosing a $2500 car. Then pour in the Blue Devil. It may very well need Blue...

I have not driven on that tire, but I did have a few sets of the Ziex 512 a few years ago. I put them on Panthers (Crown Vics, Grand Marquis' and Town Cars) and by itself that tire greatly improved the way they handled. They made those 4000 lb. cars stick in the twisties. They were great in the...

You've received some good advice so far, and some not so good. Adding anything to a cooling system, like a "car-repair-in-a-bottle" is a really bad idea, especially at this point. It is way too early to add any crud to your cooling system. Adding that stuff should be a desperate, last chance...

Originally Posted By: Doog Check it first thing in the morning after it has been sitting all night. ^^^ That's good advice. That's what I do, too. I don't even have to wipe and stick it again. Any hot oil on the stick when the car is parked drains off and in the a.m. it's ready to check. Just...

Very cool, The Red Giant rules.

Originally Posted By: Bottom_Feeder Tire Rack is usually a good resource as long as you can filter out the bull. So many of those 'reviews' are ridiculous. Some are hysterically dumb while many are just a complete waste of time. This won't help a Falken shopper, of course... You are so right...

I used to buy a lot from Rock Auto and talked them up to everyone I knew, but this shipping nonsense will be the end of them if they don't wise up. I hope someone with some sense at Rock Auto reads these kinds of threads from the last few months.

Originally Posted By: GutsyGecko No need to flush. Use whatever you want. A conventional oil would be fine, as would synthetic. I use his method with the oil on my track cars. It ensures the oil is changed very early. That engine will probably be spotless. Good response. ^^^ To the OP, you...

Being limited to whatever spring they decided to include that day is just one reason that a quick strut may not be right for you. A quick strut is designed to appeal to the buyer that is looking for the convenience of having it all assembled and a "quick" installation. The quality of the...

Congratulations on getting married and the best of luck to you ! Slow down a bit and take a deep breath. Weddings are stressful.
