Because the C30 looks too much like a Gremlin to me. Saw one of these on the road for the first time today and had to do a double-take.

My rich friend had been asking me about motor oil and I always declined to express an opinion because most of it is just that: opinion. Eventually he just asked point blank: What is the best oil I can buy for my cars? He has classic Corvettes, a Ferrari, a Bentley, and a few "normal" daily...

I've been told by a few people that on modern cars with ceramic brake pads, there's really no benefit to using drilled or slotted rotors any more. The reasoning is that ceramic pads don't outgas or dust up like semi-metallic or organic pads did, so the slots/holes aren't removing any gases or...

First things first: I have never used AutoRX and I don't think I need to. This is just a question to satisfy my curiosity and try to understand how this stuff works. OK, so I've read here many times that when you use AutoRX, you should use a conventional motor oil because synthetics have a...

A few years ago, barely a thread would go by without mentioning AutoRX clean and rinse phases, the mythic qualities of German Castrol, and the cheerleading for conventional Havoline motor oil. But I never remember seeing any threads about how or why these products fell out of favor. Is this just...

I put one of these on my Honda Pilot and now I get 100 MPG and it goes 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds uphill towing the camper. Also my memory is much better now and I don't have ring around the collar any more. This thing is amazing! Not promoting this device, just thought it was interesting. Note the...

I have an 06 Honda Pilot EX-L with AWD. The transfer case oil spec says to use hypoid gear oil SAE 90 above 0 degrees F and 80W-90 below 0 F. I can't seem to find any 90 weight oils anywhere. There are plenty of 80W-90's, but the Pilot will spend only a few days a year below zero. So the...

I will be towing with my Honda Pilot this summer, at times up and down the mountains, at other times in high heat, and with a trailer that's right at the limit of the Pilot's rated towing capacity. I want to make sure the ATF is going to survive all this stuff. I do have an ATF cooler that...

I'm getting a jump on New Year's Resolutions to have some time to think them over before champagne and revelry blur the situation. Beginning in 2006, I will no longer take money for granted. I will not spend more money than I have to. I will take off my rose-colored financial glasses and put on...

My 96 Seville has the 4.6 Cadillac Northstar and I've run it on mostly M1 10W-30 and either PureONE, Bosch, or AC-Delco filters. It's at 96,xxx miles now. I probably only put 8-10k miles/year on it these days. When I didn't use M1, I used Pennzoil or Valvoline dino 10W-30's. Well, I've come to...
