    Had a scary moment tonight. No throttle

    thats right folks after cruising for more than a hour at PA turnpike speeds (roughly 70+), I change lanes and start to peel off for my exit. I tap the cruise control and then the shifter twice to get settled into the right gear for the ramp. BUT, when I press my foot on the accelerator all I...

    I thought I was going to go blind.

    As many of you know, I don't go much for big fancy add-ons on any car. Simple and tasteful is usually what I go for, not a lot of flash just to say you have bling on the car. Anyway I pull in to this parking lot and spot this corvette. It was so hideous that I had to take a couple of...

    Ball joints,, aka stupid questions

    I just replaced my steering knuckles in September because the ball joints were bad. It really pissed me off that a pressed in ball joint failling resulted in replacement of the en(furkiing)tire knuckle. The rest of the knuckle shows zero wear. Is there any source for replacement lower ball...

    What the next LS should be based on!

    See its not that ford worldwide cannot descent sedans, it is only the US where Ford Motor Corp keep screwing up. Ford could bring us this car with some higher line trim and it would sell like hotcakes. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-fpv-gt-cobra/434696/ I know that I would buy at...

When she got out of the car to hand it off to me so I can take the boys to class, she tells me the low fuel light has been on since last night. Great...

    front suspension creaking like old door

    I noticed it about 3.5 weeks ago. Right before we went on vacation. It was only doing it occasionally then but it is creaking every time the front of the car moves up or down. I went searching for the noise and as best as I can figure the problem is the spring insulators on the bottoms of...

    dash lighting cutting out.

    I noticed this the other night and thought that it was my hand hitting the dimmer, but it is not. The dash lights started going on and off tonight. Everytime I tried to accelerate at a moderate rate away from a trafic light tonight, the dash lighting would cut out. As soon as I let off the...

    not a happy camper.

    I just feel like I can't fix it fast enough. I just got the shocks for the ls and ordered the DCCV to stop the heat from comming on, so of course the damn factory stereo has to start acting up. The six disc changer has decided that it doesn't want to eject a cd. It selects the cd and...

    Rear tire is shredding.

    Its alarming how fast this tire is giving out. It all started last night. I'm cruising across the bridge with my two sons in the back and all of a sudden this fwap-fwap slapping noise starts at the back of the car. I nudged the cruise off and started to coast down from the top of the bridge...

    I'm cursed I swear.

    Yesterday I get the info that GMS is really starting development on the COP's. Its a good minute in my day and a positive thought on day of my wedding anniversary. Then my wife calls and says she has my dad coming to pick her up at work and take her home because she is too sick to drive...

    Finally I see some trimmings I want for the LS!

    Hey, I do go for most body kits because they try too hard to be noticeable even when they are supposed to blend with original body style. So when I found Aserrano's LS with a Mach 1 spoiler, It just totally popped at me. Now I want that for my current LS and the next one too (looked at an...

    Measuring the springs in an LS

    Does anyone here know the rates and diameters of the springs in our LS's? If we did then perhaps we could source some higher rate pieces from a race shop. I'm checking with eibach and the other company (can't remeber the name right now) to see if they list the data.
