Justifying an impact wrench for infrequent hobby use by AD[_2_]
I'm toying with an idea of spending $200 on a battery powered impact wrench (at sears.com or whatever). Aside from prying off the wheel bolts any other uses you could come up with to justyfy the purchase? I don't steal other people's rims for living hence I ponder if twice a year 30 something...

Anti-Lock Brakes by PolicySpy
Anti-lock brakes...and that's ABS...work mostly in the rain or snow. On dry pavement and with the wheels straight...a car will most often make a emergency stop without any wheel lock-up...and that's due to electronic-brake-balance along with modern tires. But check out your anti-lock brakes...

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.

People who claim 'they could build a 400mpg Hybrid' amuse me. by [email protected]
Not so much because of the statement, but because they don't have any math to back-up said statement. Might as well say, "If I flap my arms real hard, I could fly." Yeah. Sure. If it WERE possible to build a 400MPG civic or Prius, Honda or Toyota or Ford would would already be doing it (and...

2001 Jeep Cherokee Front Brake Rotors by TomO[_3_]
Hi group, Tonight I was foiled by either a pair of very stuck rotors or by some means of holding them to the hub that was not readily apparent to me. This is a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. The rotors look as if they should just pull off the hubs once the caliper is removed. But try as I may, I could not...

I hate my 92 F150 by Search4Lancer
I hate my 92 F150... so much. Here's the problem I'm most concerned with: My clutch engages right off the floor. Causes me to stall quite a bit when pulling out. Quite annoying. What do you folks think the problem might be, and is it anything I could do anything about myself? I'm quite broke and...

Did Rain-x ruin my windshield or is it normal (how to make it better)? by Slacker[_2_]
My windshield is fine except in the morning when the dew and sunshine combine to make it impossible to see due to this naughty spotty on/off film that I just can't windshield wipe off. Even the mirrors are spotty in the morning. The rear and side windows are fine. When I was driving the neighbor's...

Sent to NBC Nightly News: With all the reports on Toyota's stuck accelerator problem, no one has really said a lot about how to control the car if it does get away from you. These are common-sense rules for handling a Toyota recently on recall, and general rules for any car on which the...

Driveway road mirror (request ideas for a cheap workable mirror) by Chuck Banshee
My driveway angles at a sharp angle to an infrequently used road such that I almost never have to even look to see if there's traffic (because there's only traffic about once a month at the time I'm entering the road). Still, that's not a safety margin so I have to stop all the time (of...
