Was on the freeway stop and go of course late at night. Was creeping along with the HUD on (mph setting) reading 7mph. I came to a stop and shortly thereafter was bumped. The rear cover is scratched with little indentations that you really don't see until you get closer see the scratch and...

Some input Thanks for the response DRTH VTR. Here is what I do: I try to enter the corner at a reasonable speed. I try to accelerate smoothly through the curve with a smooth input on the steering wheel. If i encounter a bump or steel grate it seems the front end slides about the same width...

Go Goodyear! Emailed a note to Goodyear last week and got a call from Barbara this a.m. Very helpful person, I explained the problem about the tire. Her response: The tire can be patched (on the tread) and still retain it's rating. If the tire requires a second patch the rating is lowered and...

I had the great opportunity to drive Hwy 18 from San Bernardino to Running Springs yesterday to attend my niece's high school graduation. (My BLW is doing a great job with his family!) Anyway I wrote some time ago my concerns about the front end feel while aggressively cornering be it on/off...

Slacker Thanks for responding guys. I drive the car like an old man instead of a teenager out lookin' for some Touch---. Car has never been abused by me. Besides it's an automatic and I've just read how to do a proper burn-out in C&D (lifting off the clutch and onto the brake with the...

Have been noticing lately how much slack there is when I put the auto in Drive after traveling backward a bit. Has anyone a comment about this? My Dodge doesn't have this much.

Opps, car cover lock system scratched the rocker panel on drivers side. It's the anniversary color. Question: Does anyone know of a good painter of that color near Los Angeles, CA?

Well, what he and I meant was the accessorie function of the key switch. I like the one shot of a person with hand-held phone or simply sliding out of the car (while refueling) and causing/starting a static electricty fire. I usually smoke my stogie while refilling, gives me extra room at...

Accidents waiting to happen.... The 'Vette is very low to the ground, I've noticed that I'm not noticed in certain conditions. One that I can think of now is at a corner where hedges essentially hide my car and simply "they" don't see me. I keep this visibilitly thing in mind while driving...

and yes, here I am with a pulled hamstring and the car is in the driveway. The fires here in So Cal are sending out their ashes and some now rest on my car. What should I do? The wife's at work and I can't get her here to clean it up. ;) They are cool ashes and I don't think it'll hurt...

Tank was below 1/2 and decided to fill up before the next round of price increases. Since the filler is next to the drivers' window, I like to leave the key on and listen to the radio-- low volume of course. When I got out of the car, the radio did not stay on and I was puzzled but filled...
