OK, so lets say I have a friend who has a car in the garage and doesn't get it out on the road as often as he should. What's the best way to keep a battery from draining over time? Its been suggested that a trickle charger might be a good idea, and it has also been suggested to me that the...

Just posted about maybe getting snows for my 01 Grand Marquis and I was wondering where one might get a set of steel rims? Tire rack did not have any, neither did discount tire. Anywhere else? There are so many of there Crown Vics and Grand Mqs out there I'm surprised they don't carry any. Thanks!

Out of the 20 years I've been driving, this is the first year I'll be in a RWD. An 01 Grand Marquis. I don't know what to expect regarding snow, but in my mind a set of snows makes some sense. Right now, it has an almost new set of Michelin LX4 Energy, all season tires. Some say they should be...

OK, so I have this Grand Marquis done up "Old Man style" with the full vinyl roof. Thankfully, it's the same color as the car! Anyway, is there a product that might help protect it from sun damage and getting as dirty? Thanks!

OK guys, looking for some advice here and help with making a decision. I have 2 cars and need to sell one. By "need to sell" I just mean I'm having a hard time justifying having 2 cars. Both cars combined are worth maybe $10G, so even if I sold both I would have to lay out $ to get something...

Hi! OK, so this is the first time this car has failes the NJ emissions test! Just wanted to see what people think as to why, and maybe what I can do to fix. Its a 92 Nissan Sentra with 189,000 on it. Failed NOx (standard is 1242, Nissan was 1788) Failed HC (standard is 159, Nissan was 187)...

It seems that almost any topic on this board solicits some good advice, so I thought I'd put this out there to see what happens! In a nutshell, for space reasons, I am going to install an 18" dishwasher in the kitchen. There aren't many to choose from in this size, but I was wondering if anyone...

I have a 92 Nissan Sentra SE-R with an odd brake issue that maybe someone can help me with. For some time now, when I brake from speeds of say, 30MPH or less (think slowing to a stop sign or red light) the car "pulses" almost like when you have warped rotors. There is no pulsing in the pedal...

Hi everybody. Looking to start a A-RX program for leaking gaskets. Its a 92 Nissan with 185K on it, and I thought this might work. Problem is the car only takes about 3.5 qt, so I need 7 OZ of A-RX from the 12oz bottle. What are you guys using to measure your A-RX doses? It would be cool if...

Would like some opinions regarding what oil to use in my Wife's '04 Subaru Forester. I'm changing it out next week, so I though I'd ask for some opinions! I've used M1 5-30 since I changed out the factory fill, and have also been using the OEM oil filter which is supposedly pretty good. The...

Based on what people are saying about Auto-RX, I thought I'd try it on a '91 MB 300 SE I'm trying to get back on the road after sitting for 3+ years. The oil in it is new as I dumped the old oil out before I started it for the first time. New NAPA Gold filter as well. Before I found theis...

Looking for some opinions from the board regarding "oldish" tires that are seemingly in very good condition. I recently revived a '91 MB 300SE (and got some oil advice here too!) The car has a set of BFG Touring t/a with less than 10K miles on them. Problem is that they were installed in '97...

Hi, I just want to say my brain hurts when I go through all of the info here! I just acquired a '91 MB300SE that has been sitting for a few years. Its got about 57K on it, and for now it is going to be driven less than 5 or 7K miles mixed city/hwy per year. It's kinda my project car I guess. I...
