    How can you tell when a tranny is about to go?

    Have you hunted down where the leak's coming from? It might just be the gasket around the pan, and it might also be coming from around the driveshaft. It might also be leaking from the hoses that head towards the radiator for transmission fluid cooling. So the leak doesn't tell whether it's...

    Whats your ride?

    I live in a cracked-out world with insurance companies that look at accident rates for a particular model, regardless of who's driving it. If more Jettas per thousand registered are crashed than Passats per thousand registered, then the insurance company will consider it less risky to insure a...

    Whats your ride?

    I'm not surprised the insurance is lower. How many teens do you see driving Passats, expecially compared to the number you see driving Jettas? That's a big factor in accident rates, which I'm betting are lower for the Passat because it's usually owned and driven by older, more experienced...

    Quick, what do you see?

    I'm wondering if that's what a smilie face looks like if you try to open the .gif file in notepad. For example, here's the "throwing a tomato" smilie according to notepad: GIF89a  ÷ 3 f ™ Ì ÿ 3 33 f3 ™3 Ì3 ÿ3 f 3f ff ™f Ìf ÿf ™ 3™ f™ ™™ Ì™ ÿ™ Ì 3Ì fÌ ™Ì ÌÌ ÿÌ ÿ 3ÿ fÿ ™ÿ Ìÿ...

    Noite: Chrysler axed the Eagle Brand after 1997. Greenie: So, no Jetta after all, huh? What prompted you to step up a size?

    Getting ready to move back to Paso Robles in order to improve my job prospects. Cleaning and packing is a certified bitch.

    ...although the Taurus/Sable had a different ignition switch than everything else Ford put out, so they weren't so likely to catch fire.

    Putting the motive in automotive

    I asked about VW because they're owned by the same company as Audi. So it would be like the dad of a friend in high school who swore he would never buy another Ford after their Aerostar caught fire. He then bought a Mercury Sable.

    Sure, I'll send you a check for $1,200. American dollars, too. I just hope you don't plan on cashing it. :D

    Putting the motive in automotive

    I, for one, would rather put a 528 Hemi crate engine into that 'Cuda. It makes only 10 less HP and the same amount of torque with 43 less cubic inches. Plus, it's a Hemi. You just don't put Chevy motors where Hemis should go. It might also be fun to take the new 57L "hemi" and stick it in a...
