For what it's worth, I contacted Steve and expressed an interest in buying it last week. He responded that he has a bid for $18,000 and basically wanted to know if I wanted to increase it. I didn't.

While that's true for dino oils, it's not true for good synthetic oils. The synthetic oils don't have VI improvers added as their oil molecule is designed to provide the multi-viscosity qualities without any additive. Here's a chart of a couple of Mobil 1 oils. The viscosities are in cSt's...

These oil threads are always a hoot!!! :banana: When you combine old wive's tales with the internet, it's really humorous. :rofl: First, some old wive's tales have (had) a grain of truth like the one about seal compatibility. Thirty plus years ago, the very first synthetic oils did attack...

For those interested in a good deal on an MM, I thought I would post as I was the original owner. It was my "company" car and I used it to drive 65 miles (one way) to work and back on a 4 lane divided highway (65 mph speed limit). There were a total of 4 stop signs and 2 traffic lights in...

If you're running winter tires on 16" rims, they will cause a little more "squarming". Tire pressures over 28 psi won't help the harshness either. Do get the alignment to the tighter specs.

You said the alignment and air pressure are OK, but what are they? If the dealer/alignment shop has them "in spec", they could be a long way from ideal. I had mine re-aligned to the much tighter specs that have been posted here, and it felt like a different car. By the way the alignment guy...

A forum member bought them. It's up to him to speak up if he wants. Miss my DTR MM so I'll just have to look at this picture again to remember why I sold it :) . [/IMG]

The blizzaks are sold.

I'll take them to the FedEx Ground or UPS (whichever is cheapest) to ship. I'm shipping from zip 55906 and would need your zip code to get accurate price. My guess is about $20 per wheel/tire to Ohio.

I sold my burgandy beauty, but it went to a warmer climate. As a result, the winter wheels (16") and tires are for sale in the classified section. We're leaving for Mexico on March 7th, so buy quickly, or I'll wait for next fall. They're priced to sell at $300. Thanks,

Now that's what I call toast :eek: !! Glad you're OK. I watched a car end up like this one day outside a quick-change oil place. I was next door at a Burger King eating lunch. Smoke started rolling out from under it and through the hood seams. They came with some fire extingishers from the...

You haved a PM

I'm getting "heat" from my wife about her Explorer sitting outside in the "cold"----so I've reduced the price. This is a very good car (especially at this price) that has been carefully driven and maintained. As I indicated in the ad, we're headed for warmer weather in 20 days, and I want to...

It's a great service to most members. I've gotten 10 times the hits and contacts with my ad here vs the ad I spent $ on at Carsoup.

Her rearend is more like the Honda S2000's (shapely but trim) that we were looking at before the 2003 Vette came along. Her shock absorbers are still in good shape too :censor: !!
