    Anyone try Grassmilk yet?

    So I kinda gave up on the vegan thing. sure I felt good and all for a while, but I started getting sick of taking pills to supplement my body all the stuff it needs. So I slowly started adding small amounts of dairy and eggs to my diet. So far it's going awesome! Anyway, recently I read the...

    Leasing a cheap new car vs. buying an old car

    As some of you know, I am currently considering a newer car to replace my 25 yo daily driver. I love it for sentimental reasons, but it's not fuel efficient at all, and the clutch is a killer in stop and go traffic. After scouring the classifieds for the last few weeks and considering my...

    Bosch QuietCast brake pads...anyone use em?

Most recently the car had the a/c switched over the R134, and a new set of Michelin MXV4's installed. The car is sublime, and the...

    Is it just me, or does Nissan not care anymore?

    Their flagship cars all rank so poorly. Even those being pushed heavily in the media with advertising, really rank terribly. Cars like the Maxima, Cube, Juke, Murano, Rogue, Sentra, and Versa all have lukewarm reviews (at best). Seems like a sheer fluke that the NV rated higher. I guess that's...

    Anyone drive the new Volvo S60 sedan?

    I have a rental coming up and one of the options is the new 2013 S60 with AWD and T6 engine. It's up the Rockies, and the weather is particularly bad this time of year. The drive is a good 4 hours each way Just wondering if this is worth paying the premuim over an Impala etc.

    Garmin....replace or update?

    I have a nuvi 255 that has been relatively trouble-free. Problem is, that it's about 5 or 6 years old and obviously the maps are out of date. Is it better to simply replace it or should I update it online? I have heard that the newer ones are no better, as they take longer to find locations...

    Nissan Juke...please school me on them

    Done a fair bit of internet reading on them. Most complain of MPG's not as good as quoted from mfr. Aside from that I really like the look, esp what others have said about their driving dynamics. I am not interested in the CVT or the AWD models, just the manual FWD variant. I have no kids or...

    On my recent road trip from Van city to Regina Sask, after some hard driving my steering and suspension became loose after a few hard stops.
