Well, Saturday was the last time I'll ever drive my '04 LS. I traded it off for a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT. The Magnum just fits my needs better right now while still allowing me to have some horsepower and style (at least in my eyes...). Plus, my LS was a pile. Constantly in the shop. So while...

This has happened to me twice now. During a cold start (+/- 10 degrees or less) it sounds like there's a troll under my hood pounding on something with a hammer. Loud banging noises in rythm with the usual sound of someone driving home a nail. It happens maybe 5-10 times then goes away. I...

I understand that every car will have it's common problems. This one has the climate control and coils. Those I learned about after buying the car and expected that to happen. That's what warranties are for. But on top of that I've had tranny solenoid, tranny leak, dead battery (tested OK)...

So I put these wheels on earlier this year but it's not really the look I was going for. So what's missing? Are my wheels too small (17")? Are the wheels ok but it needs to be lowered?

There's something rattling near the seat belt on the b pillar on the driver's side of my interior. How do I remove those interior panels? Just grab and pull or is there a method to the madness?

It's almost like the transmission is confused sometimes. I'll be driving down the freeway and let off the gas for a second then when I get back on the gas I can feel it re-engage. I've never felt that sensation when driving any other car. Also, sometimes I'll back out of my parking stall...

Does anyone have experience with this brand of exhaust? Pros? Cons? http://www.heartthrobexhaustinc.com/

I was in the process of changing my rotors/pads today and I snapped off one of the rear wheel studs. Just by looking at it, in order to replace that stud, I'll have to remove the hub. How do I do that? Is it as simple as backing off the nut in the center of the hub or will I be elbow deep in...

When I bought my car 1.5 years ago I opted for the factory extended warranty. The best money I've spent on this car to date!! The only thing is, it's set to run out in about 1 year. I'm at 61,000 miles and the warranty covers up to 75,000 miles. So what happens after that? Will I get the...

I'm not a golfer, in fact I don't even own any clubs. However, in 2 weeks I'm golfing with some coworkers and I might end up driving. Will I be able to fit 3 sets of clubs into my trunk?

My wife's car, black '03 325i, used to have a bra on it. I can tell because I can see exactly where it was! We took it to a body shop recently to have some damaged clear coat fixed up (apparently it was egged years ago and ate through the clear). Anyway, the body shop told us if we wanted to...

On full throttle acceleration my car slips into Failsafe mode near the top of the RPM range. I can only assume that it must be sucking air somewhere along the way. It didn't ever do that with the stock intake system. Someone here told me to use a little hairspray to help keep the fittings...

After a winter of cruising on Blizzaks I'm back to my summer tires now. There's a noticeable difference in ride quality and handling. With the summer tires the handling is sharper but I get more road noise and the car seems to track along any seam in the pavement. If I get onto an older...

Monday morning on my way to work the car suddenly went into failsafe mode while driving down the freeway. Thankfully I was close to an off ramp so I headed for the parking lot. Ford's Roadside Assistance hauled the car to a dealership where it was determined that my throttle body needed to be...

I was sitting and a red arrow waiting to make a left turn onto the freeway ramp. There was another vehicle sitting in the right left hand turn lane. The arrow turned green and as I rounded the corner I noticed the other vehicle coming hard. I dropped the hammer and the other vehicle kept...

My car is an ex-California car. It now resides in MN where the ambient temp is now 7 degrees. Needless to say, I have a brick of blue washer fluid and a very dirty windshield!! If I can get that stuff melted is there an easy way to get that out so I can put in the stuff that won't freeze? Or...

I got pulled over last weekend for my tint being too dark. Yeah, that's the only reason he pulled me over...on the freeway... Anyway the front doors are 30% and the rear doors/back window are 3%. That's how I bought the car. honestly, it can be too dark while driving sometimes, too. For...

While it is annoying that I don't know what the outside temp actually is, are there any systems that rely on that sensor? I mean, is the air/fuel mixture adjusted as the air temp changes? Is anything with the climate control adjusted by the outside temp? IIRC, the AC won't kick in if it gets...

I found a good deal, locally, on some brand new Incubus Banshee wheels. +/-$160 per wheel. But I don't know anything about this brand and can't seem to find much in the way of online reviews. Does anyone know anything about these wheels?

This being a car forum, there has to be some people on here that know their tools. I recently inherited a tool chest that used to be my grandpa's. It has many many years of grease built up inside the drawers, etc but is still in great working condition. I'd like to get it cleaned up real nice...
