Have a car, 18k miles on it. just past warranty (6 years) Transmission went and got it replaced. After about 100 miles, the cv shaft broke. First reply from guy who did transmission was the cv shaft is a consumable and probably unrelated. Wants $400 to look at it. (dealing with...

So I’ve been interested in this car ever since I heard one, seriously one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard, that 5cyl hnnggg!!! It seems it’s got a really stout motor, many people getting tons of HP w/ little mods and a tune. None are on dealer lots, I’m guessing demand is high. This would...

End of an era... Bentley has become synonymous with its powerful W12 engine but will end production of the mill in April 2024 by which time more than 105,000 units will have been produced during the engine’s life span. ...

What do you guys think about these cars? Been looking for a commuter for my 90 mile a day commute. Seem to have good warranties. We have one at my work I can get a deal on. Gonna go test drive it on lunch.

Just placed the order for this blacked out F-150. Got it fully loaded, and with the v8 engine.

All jokes aside, I've been meaning to buy a new daily to handle Wyoming winters and get decent fuel economy. I built a 2023 Colorado for under 45k, not including my GM partner discount. ...

Dropped the car off last month. Took apart what I could in my garage and trailered it up for the rest of the disassembly. Had it put on a rotisseries and totally sandblasted and primered, now it's going to get a rust repaired and dents/dings straightened out. Thankfully there was only some rust...

From what I understand getting pre approved and walking in with a blank check is the best and Credit Unions offer the best rates. Should I find a good credit union and apply for a auto loan then go to dealer? At the dealer, is there a way to haggle down or are those days gone?

Anyone ever buy a car from across the country ? Nothing local for me Do you buy it sight unseen ? Is it an arm and a leg for dealer to ship it ?

Toyota is upping production due to demand. I read the mags and it’s not doing performance wise what Toyota is saying. It’s a 5 sec car 0-60, 13 sec 1/4@103-5ish. Not bad but not great either. You can spec out a decent one for 40k. Has anyone tested the limits of the motor? It’s already at 25psi...

I was thinking of getting a bike and enjoy the ride! I was privileged to ride with a body of mine and enjoyed the experience. It’s a lot of wind - and power but it felt awesome. Any advice for a first time motorcycle rider? Anything I should know before getting started? Anyone love to teach… say...

Finally got around to getting this fat chick to the 1320 a few weeks ago to air her out after the last round of mods and snagged my first 10 second slip. Only change from street trim was dropping the PSI on the tires, didn't even take my son's car seat out the back. Left Lane: In the...

If you’re finding car design lumpy, bland and timid these days, stand back and take notice of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. It’s so innovative even architects like it. The creases and angles reference origami. Shadows and contrasting paint colors create illusions and play tricks with dimension and...

I'm digging the new gen Sequioa, but man the ADM on the TRD Pros are stupid.

It has 170k miles alot of them have been city miles. its my beater car so I don't care too much about it. can not replacing them lead to a bigger issue? the car drives like it's on water goes up and down sometimes the front lip hits the pavement if roads are bumpy. oither than that great...

The market for cars, especially used is crazy right now. I was in the market for a car but now thinking of waiting it out until next year to see if prices back down to earth. Anyone waiting or have an idea when prices will return to the norm?

I came GALLONS. https://youtu.be/gz2SQ_1ZfzM gz2SQ_1ZfzM

I may need another vehicle for work purposes. This one would see a good amount of miles put on, and I would want something that is not going to break the bank with use. So low cost of ownership overall, fuel, maintenance, depreciation, etc. I need AWD because of the northeast and a hatch because...

Was just watching Tokyo Drift and started thinking about my future car purchase. I'm a complete car noob but liked the idea of buying a Panamera some day, but then started wondering if I became more knowledgeable, is building a car from scratch more expensive and if it isn't, is it even practical?...

Das Gorilla Glue Hashish von 420 Fams ist einer der stärksten verfügbaren Cannabis-Hasch-Typen. Die Gorilla Glue Spezies wurde einst versehentlich durch unbeabsichtigte Fremdbestäubung verursacht. Daraus entstand Gorilla Glue #1. Dies wurde im Gorilla Glue #4 weiterentwickelt. Der Gorilla...

To the miscer who suggested this instead of a ceramic coating... you the real hero. $50 and my cars hydrophobic properties are insane, just rinse and dry in minutes now for car washes. Its so slick, I've lost grip shutting my trunk closed a few times. It's getting rave reviews from car...

Hey misc, what's your advice on whether I should get a full size spare. Say I take a lot of road trips. Will it reduce mpg significantly because of weight? It's for a sedan.

Would anyone be able to share a recent APR rate, through whom, for an 800+ credit score? Thanks.
