Just saw an ad for the Caddy ATS on TV late last night. Supposedly it's a really nice little car; I don't know, I haven't driven one. But all the reviews I've read/watched position it as a legitimate competitor to the BMW 3-series. The specific ad that I saw made a big deal out of the...

Been a while since I did one of these...5 years? Been a while since I posted on Usenet. But, here goes! Fluid Film. I bought some of this stuff because it is illegal in Mass to spray your car with hydraulic oil, although that has never stopped me before. But I did buy some and sprayed the Scion...
