Steam cars by
Don Stauffer
Were steam cars the only steam engines that were legal to operate
without a boiler operators license?
When and how did the steam car manufacturers get laws passed to exempt
steam cars?

What's the current recommend on batteries? by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
Who currently makes the best batteries for your car? I've finally kept
a car long enough to wear out a battery I think - the 944 was not happy
at all trying to start in the single digit weather we had yesterday

Which oil filters are best? by
J J
I have not found any independent tests regarding screw on oil filters.
Just from word of mouth I have heard that the NAPA gold or silver, and
the $5 Purolator are the best.
Any thoughts or independent tests on internet you can refer me to?

Hard starting Briggs & Stratton 3.0 hp lawnmower engine by
muzician21
Have a B&S on a 70's era Snapper 21" pusher with an aluminum deck. I
believe the engine is probably 10 years newer than the rest of the
mower.
Maybe 10 years ago I took it to a repair shop who installed a solid
state unit to replace the points. Even with the solid state ignition
it was never...

brake line rust by
George[_23_]
I was under our car ('04 Cavalier) recently, and noticed that the brake
lines are starting to rust. So far, it looks to be just on the surface,
but it will get worse.
Is there anything practical to do, to prevent further deterioration?
Thanks,
George

Hello,
Not into auto tech., but was wondering:
Are all nuts and bolts metric on cars that are made overseas ?

I did some Googling and came up with nothing. Hard to believe no one
