Does anybody here actually know anything about cars? 7M-GE Supra by
Hachiroku $B%O%A%m%/(B[_2_]

and have put 10-15,000 miles a year on it for 5 years. So we're looking at
~230,000 miles.

getting lower and lower. It's a...

Electrronic keys- a rant by
Don Stauffer
Ah, for the good old days when all my keys would fit in a keycase. I
had found that leaving keys loose in my pocket wore holes in the
pockets, so long used a key case.
The keys for my last two cars are electronic, and WAY to big to fit in a
key case. My Prius key is all-electronic (no...

Wheel alignment - how do I know they really fixed it? by
[email protected]
My question is pretty much summarized in the subject line.
So, you drop off your car at a tire shop for wheel alignment. How do
you know they really performed the service? They may have not even
touched your car, then gave you some bogus alignment reading printout.
1-2 weeks later the tires are...

Problem with clutch - bad smell.....Any ideas? by

Hi -
I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two
years). Recently, it has started to emit a really bad burning smell

My car NEVER did this before and just starting...

Mazda 2 (2011) front brake replacement by
Jc Maxwell
So this weekend some friends and I are going to attempt replacement of front rotors and pads on a 2011 Mazda 2 Sport.
I took the car to a mechanic a while back. He reported that there was a lot of rust on the rotors, and the pads had very little (perhaps 5%) material left. The rust is likely the...

Ulf
Hello,
I'm in the market for a used car and today I looked at a very nice '92
BMW 535. However, when the owner showed me the papers from the last

Hard downshift 94 Chrysler T&C auto trans by

the other gears down shift, it is not that noticable...very smooth.
