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...

Why do cars with automatic transmissions have tachometers? by TLittle
Curious as hell about this. Was taught by the parents to drive in general on a 65 Chevy with an auto tranny. Then the parents taught me to drive a stick on a 67 Dodge 3-on-the-tree Dart. None of them had a tach.

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...

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...

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...
