it turns out that Silicon Valley bonuses make it much easier to have an expensive car, so I've downsized to a much cheaper daily, a 19 GT with performance pack 1 and the tech package. Wanted magneride but the build time on those is insane currently and I want my car before xmas. I got an "ok"...

Thoughts? They useful or snake oil? Ghetto rigged one for my LS2 for $40. Been researching them and can't tell if they are useless junk or if they are effective at limiting carbon deposits for DI engines. LS engines apparently have more of an issue so figured I'd give it a try.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to trucks. I've been doing research but still can't settle on anything yet. I looking for a truck around $30-35k. I'm gonna be using it for work and as a daily driver. In terms of wants/needs I'd rank: 1. Reliability 2. Gas Mileage 3. Interior ...

Have always wanted a 2nd gen Chrysler 300 SRT8 but they aren’t made anymore, few were made so hard to find a well taken care of one. What are some more options that also have tuned suspensions. 45k or less. I remember looking at a Lexus IS-F, plain looking, not full size sedan but still...

Year doesnt matter, or model, just a truck that works for under $2,000 Any recommendations? Is it even possible :confused:

I’ve been looking at the Maxima Platinum as a potential next car and have noticed several people here disparaging them. I had an Altima a few years ago and it was reliable and I enjoyed it. I always thought the Maxima was a good looking car and that Nissans were gtg. I am not a “car guy” so...

Making a decision soon. Already have a C6 z06 as my "weekend" toy so I will be using this car for daily commutes. I have an Audi dealership willing to give me invoice pricing on a 18 RS3 (roughly 4k off) and the Hellcat would be slightly cheaper as Dodge will deal more on them. Still looking at...

(Not sure if you need the "srs" tag in this section, but wanted to put nonetheless haha) With that said, i've always been interested in classic ('66-'69) Mustangs and have been looking at the restomod route for a few months now. I've been looking on EbayMotors and other classic car websites, but...

What's your poison? I've owned all 3 in the past few years, so from 2017+. For me personally the RAM wins followed by the GMC. The RAM just feel more defined and the interior trumps them all. The Ford seem to feel the cheapest outta the bunch, not power terrain wise, but just interior and...

I've been wanting a 350 ever since they first came out, but I took a job overseas right after they launched so I had to wait. I just got back to the states and I cross-shopped the C7 Z06 with the GT350R. I went and looked at the Z06 first, they're nice but I had a C6 ZR1 and I couldn't see how...

Recently picked up OEM 513m wheels and just installed KW street comfort coilovers. IMO these are the best looking factory BMW wheels there are. If you have IG follow me @royceisaware #ruaware

This is a list of general maintenance tips for new cars or nice cars. 1. Avoid rain. Water is one of the most damaging substance in the world because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent. We tend to overlook that fact. When you drive in rain, dirt carried by water will stick to...

Thinking about buying one of these slightly used 2016/2017 (sub 20k miles). How's the long term reliability been? I've never owned a BMW and a twin turbo 8 sounds like a mechanical nightmare. Can you drive this thing hard to 100k and not be replacing turbos, transfer-case, half-shafts?

Look in any rich person's garage, look at any music symbol, or look at Instagram, all you will see is foreign I haven't driven many cars and I may be ignorant on the subject, but America is just now catching up with quality vehicles. Years back America has practically been left behind in...

Title ^ I recently got hired by National Tire and Battery as an automotive technician. It’s entry level and they went over what a typical work day would consist of. I also went on Glassdoor and checked out employee reviews of the position at NTB. I just want to hear more perspectives so I...

Has anyone here done this, or does it as a side business? My area is severely lacking in options and reasonably priced rentals compared to say LA or San Francisco. Considering picking up a popular car specifically to rent it out. Initial investment is low and it only needs to be rented out 8 days a...

Anyone rocking limo tints? I have my appt on Friday, doing limo all around (not windshield tho). I guess just curious for personal experiences. Cops hassle you alot? Any problems seeing at night?

Thinking of getting a Disco or RR Sport

I've wanted this car ever since I drove one like 8 years ago, probably one of the most fun cars I've ever had the pleasure of driving What do you think the future of the car is? Future Classic? Forgotten? If any s2k owners can chime in

My wife has an '09 Journey. 3.5L out of the blue it starts throws a misfire code on cylinder #1. I change all spark plugs. problem is still there. THE WEIRD PART: It only misfires/throws a code if the is warm when it was turned on. Is this just a worn ignition wire to that cylinder...
