There are plenty of tuned cars running around, but I'm more interested in long-term data than dyno numbers. If you were maintaining a reliability log, what wou…
I am financing most of the purchase and depreciation could be steep early on. How do you decide whether GAP is worthwhile versus a larger down payment or buyin…
I want smaller winter wheels for more sidewall. Overall tire diameter can stay close, but I am worried about caliper and spoke clearance. What measurements sho…
Noticed this on the ES: cabin fan works normally on certain settings and then cuts out or changes speed unpredictably on others. Before replacing the blower mo…
Looking for a sanity check. 2022 Honda Accord. Car only has 32k miles but the coolant is several years old. Would you change it based on age alone? I'm trying…
Tundra when does GAP actually make sense. It's at 82,500 miles.
After repeated pulls the car softens as intake temperatures rise. Would you prioritize cooling before increasing boost, even if the current setup is otherwise…
The car has crossed 100k and still drives well. I want to stay ahead of age-related failures instead of waiting for roadside problems. What systems started nee…
The inexpensive cable listing does not match the required equipment. My goal is a setup I can maintain consistently. What would you check before deciding what…
Car is used in a dusty environment and has pets in it regularly. I've read about battery cooling fans getting dirty. Is inspecting/cleaning it a reasonable pre…
Getting a repetitive click from around the roof/header area on rough pavement. Top seals look okay and it doesn't leak. Has anyone isolated a trim/latch/felt c…
In Long Island, there is a light ticking sound that follows engine speed for the first few minutes and then becomes hard to hear. Oil level is correct. How wou…
Same size and pressure, but the new tires create noticeably more highway hum. Is this usually tread pattern/compound, or should I verify balance and alignment…
Most of my driving is short trips with a lot of idling, but the factory interval is pretty long. I'd rather not waste oil, but I also plan to keep the car past…
System is clean with the engine off, but as soon as it starts I get a high-pitched whine that follows RPM. I already checked the obvious grounds.
Quick one about the Mitsubishi. The engine shut off at a stop once, restarted right away, and has been normal since. No warning stayed on. What data or checks…
The A/C works well with road speed but gets noticeably warmer at long lights, then cools again almost immediately once moving. Does that point more toward airf…
I want something I enjoy on back roads but still need to commute, carry luggage and survive bad weather. Trying to avoid buying a car that only makes sense on…
The car has dealer records early in life, then a long blank period, then records again. Seller says maintenance was done independently. Is the gap itself a con…
I have been thinking about the practical side of this. The dealership can inspect the car but has not confirmed it can accept the return. I have not changed an…
