    Winter Wheels and Tires

    My Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires have been amazing thus far but I doubt that after 40k miles they will be adequate for this winter. I'm looking at preparing my LS for the winter and ran across a pretty good deal on Craigslist. But wanted to double check with you guys if it would work. The...

    Left Upper Control Arm - Advice needed in removing bolt

    So, I'm replacing the Left Upper Control Arm and was able to remove the bolt next to the air filter but the bolt on the other side is impossible to get to (both attach to the body of the car). I've removed the canister purge valve but that has not added that much space. I'm about to remove the...

    popped of the fuel connector tabs on fuel pump

    f*** I really tried to be gentle but those suckers just broke off when I tried to pull up. I still have not been able to disconnect the lines but I am wondering if anyone has any ideas how to fix this or what to do now. (sarcasm is welcome) I'm thinking of using a blow torch on them?

    3rd time going in for coils to dealer - what should I say?

    So two weeks ago I had my car at the dealer for a bad coil. Just today another one seems to have gone bad as well, this will be my third trip to the dealer for them. I have ESP w/a deductible of $100 so the hit isn't that bad, but still, this is kind of ridiculous. I'm going to call to schedule...
