This car eats headlights. For those of you not familiar, this car has a 4 bulb system. It burns out probably 3-4 low-beams in a year. This ain't cheap at $25/pop for these 4351 sealed beam units. Can anyone recommend a cheaper, possibly higher performance conversion option? Thanks in...

Even the mirrors are spotty in the morning. The rear and side windows are fine. When I was driving the neighbor's...

The other day when I bought the 5-quart jug of Pennzoil Platinum at Walmart, I happened to see the manager of the automotive department, so I asked him if their Walmart store sells any 0w-30 oil. He said they don't make 0w-30! (He also said they don't make 0w-40. Zero, apparently, is beyond...
