My most fun car? My first, primarily because it was my first. (A mid-80s Volvo wagon with three pedals.) All it did was take me places I wanted to...
Doesn't the C use essentially the same engine as my 2G? (1NZ-FXE?) If so, I expect you can do lift-free oil changes since I have been doing them for...
Tell her that you are thinking about seeing other people, or perhaps that you already are. Works every time. (Sorry, I tried to stop myself but...
I have always had a soft spot for the P1800ES. It's just a great looking car.
For whatever it's worth, I roughed-out a TCO advantage of about $2,000 in favor of the Volvo over 5 years assuming a couple of significant repairs...
It's hard to say what I would have done. If money were truly no object, saving fuel is still something that I care about enough to have seriously...
Having experienced the rack, I suggest that you skip it (except perhaps for a bike rack, which seems to work fine for most people) and go straight...
It didn't work well. All that weight hanging off the back (probably 120lb in our case including the rack itself) made for some really scary...
The first time I changed the oil in my Prius was a disaster. The oil filter had been tightened so much at the factory that I couldn't get it off. The...
Hey, I had forgotten all about this! (Isn't digging through your old posts weird?) Your description of the noise sounds a lot like what I remember....
Me? Yes. I don't have access to anything else.
Good info, thanks. I have to believe that a material designed to be compatible with gasoline can handle detergents. We'll see how it goes. I should...
What's the issue with tank additives and the bladder? I can't think of anything offhand that would be harmful, except maybe a little higher...
I'm trying tank additives first, so if that doesn't work I think it only makes sense to go for the hot soak with seafoam. It'll probably be a few...
I did my plugs over the weekend and they turned out to be OK. Other than a touch of gray soot all over they were in fine shape. I went up a step in...
Nevermind...double post.
If the problem is back pain, that may be true. But the Gen II issues are more than just a lack of lumbar support or overly firm (to some people)...
When I did the PCV valve on my wife's car it looked like nothing more than a metal housing with a ball bearing rattling around inside. That left me...
That's odd. My G2 started pinging this year (filling with 93 octane at half-tank seems to have "fixed" it) but it has 91,000 miles on it and it never...
I do my fluid every ~45k, and both times it has come out quite dark. The darkness is at least partially attributable to steel fines. I fixed a...
