return of the classic saab from C.1975-1992? by
Saab C900 Viggenist
I hear a lot of rumours that GM execs are pondering this as a way to
'rescue' Saab. That's crap of course since it's GM that needs rescuing as
Saab if let go would get back to being it's old self and producing good
quality safe cars.
The problem is that GM has asset-stripped Saab so badly and has...

automatic transmission failure question by
[email protected]
I have a 97 Honda Accord with 280K. Recently, I pulled over from
driving to check a map and when I put my car back in D, the engine
just raced like it was in neutral when I gave it gas. The reverse gear
worked for a bit in the parking lot, eventually no shifter position
resulted in movement of the...

0W-40 in 1970 Cadillac Eldorado by
The Derfer[_2_]
I've got a great old 1970 Cadillac Eldorado.
The 500 CI motor at its highest-rated-ever 400 HP.
Living in the Northeast, it's cold here a lot of the year, especially
in the morning. Though I hardly ever start it up on a cold morning,
I wonder about the overall stress and strain to the engine when...

radiator caps, cooling system pressure by
Ashton Crusher[_2_]
I was thinking of putting a higher pressure cap on one of my cars to
increase the factor of safety against boiling. Looking thru the web
for info on the likelihood of changing from 7 psi to 13 psi causing
leaks I found little on that issue but did find a couple references to
the pressures created...

Well - apparently NOBODY! While Fords is thinking about thinking about

execs sit around yanking their puds with an extremely STUPID expression on
their faces. The Japanese RIGHT NOW - which means to the non-retarded,...

Paying for new parts that aren't used by
Darryl Minard
Hi All,
I just brought my 92 tercel into the shop because it was severely
misfiring. The mechanic installed new wires and a rotor...and only then
did he discover that the engine is toast (no compression in 1 cylinder
and little in another). The additional repair isn't worth it. The car
is...

Older BMW 328is or Newer Chevy Impala? by
[email protected]
I drive back & forth to work each day (60 miles a day round trip) and
have a budget of $15,000. I've narrowed down my decision to 2

I can buy a 1998 BMW 328is with 80,000 miles for $15,000.
Or I can buy a 2005 Chevy Impala with 18,000 miles for...

How does towing work? by
gnubee
If I have a AAA membership, and my car breaks down at night, I can have them
tow my car to a shop or my dealer. I've never needed to have my car towed, so
I don't know how this works. If my car breaks down at night, and I have it
towed to a shop/dealer who has already closed, do I just leave my...

Why Citi Group, but not GM by
C. E. White[_1_]
Seems the Republicans are more than willing to give Citi Group as much
money as they want, but won't lend GM a dime....where is the fairness
in that?
Having dealt with Citi credit cards, I can assure you anything bad you
can say about GM is a drop in the pocket compared to Citi Group's...
