This Moderator/Admin, "PJSaturn", had a personal vendetta on me.
I recently proposed moving "Neutral" from between Reverse & Drive on Automatic transaxle
vehicles, a good conversation ensued, no name calling, no insulte, and next thing you know
the thread is closed and I'm suspended for ten...

Steve W.[_4_]

posed to me by a neighbor.
How did PRNDL become the standard nomenclature for automatic transmissions?
P- Park - Makes sense because that it what it does.
R- Reverse - Same as above.
N- Neutral - Ditto
D- Drive, Well you do...

Had it for about 2 1/2 years now, and it has 36,000km on it.
Lately I've noticed that when I gear down from second to first, the
synchro-mesh occasionally seems to let me into 1st before the rpms have
synched up properly - it results in a bit of a thud, or...

Over speed indicator? by
Paul in Houston TX
Many US cars from the 1960's had a buzzer that
you could set for any speed.
Go over that speed and the buzzer would go off.
It looks like no US made cars have that now.
Anyone know of an aftermarket one?

Gasoline, not all the same by

After talking with several drivers of gasoline delivery trucks I found
some interesting opinions:
1. They all agree that each brand is unique as to additives and number
