    I saw a car I've never seen before - Alfa 164

    Was it close to GA? I just came back from italian car day in GA, there was one Alfa like that, and many other "Rare" italian animals. Was nice to see Lambo Avendator in person and Diablos and so on.

    96 camry v6 rear valve cover seal....

    Fix it youself, and take a peek under covers. It's time consuming, about 4 hours on this car if you never done it, maybe longer,but it is pretty straight forward. Also change O ring gaskets in valve cover, they get old and oil drips into spatk plug wells. Posibly good idea po change plugs and...

    neglected Malibu

    Just drive it and change proper fluids at proper interval. If you/him want to risk and clean up engine faster - kreen and bigger oil filters + short ocis. Otherwise PYB and HM oils are your friends.

    Anyone a CCNA?

    I've completed all CCNA courses,but never took actual exam, don't really need certificate at the moment. My main concern about in course tests and final exam is lack of time, and they make questions somewhat confusing sometimes. I used to be a captan of the team from our college on international...

    Oil Recommendation 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo

    I use m1 0w-40 right now. I will use PU 0w-40 (SRT) next. Then, who knows, prob. Synpower 5w-40. I have various 0/5/10w-40 oils, and don't loose my sleep because of some holy grail Chrysler/Fiat spec. If oil speced for Bimmers and Porsches it will handle Fiat for sure.

    Flew on the 787

    Yeah I liked 787 too. I would not say that it has more leg room than others, but again it is spec. per Flight carrier. I expected Emirates to have much better planes than others, especially A380-800. Don't know about business and first class, but economy look almost the same as Air New Zealand's...

    Most boring topics here

    Most boring are threads made by people whom do not know how to use search and google. Same things over and over again. That's why I don't participate that much anymore.( my prev username had much more posts).

    If it's stock, you don't track it and manual says use 5w-30, there should be no problem.

    2013 Fiat 500 Pop?

    People say that auto would be quicker on non turbo models. I love mine, yes it's bumpy(mine is lowered now also), yes it is noisy. It's a city car which meant to be zippy and park in tight spots. It's good on gas, even if floor it and drive with "sport mode" and my MM piggy back set on "Race...
