    Hitting the road to Carlisle

    Unfortunately, my MM is sitting outside in the rain today an tonight. It looks like the rain is ending now in Northern VA. I'll clean her up late tonight or very early in the morning. Even so, the roads are likely to still be wet in the morning so more cleaning will be needed in the quagmire...

    Hitting the road to Carlisle

    Just got mine from the Detailer last evening (in the rain!). I drove straight home and am leaving it there until Sat. morning. I'm hoping the drive up from DC won't be too messy. Jon

    Tried to set new Alignment, guy said NOGO...

    I had my local mechanic do the work - he does all my work that I don't do and he specializes in front end work. He saw the problem immediately and "carefully" torched off the flags because you cannot "take them off" in a normal fashion. Now I am at the improved specs though I can't tell about...

    Mopar and GM won't be seeing me

    Please don't do this. Saddling yourself with an Audi (that's not leased) will really become YOUR PROBLEM when it gets a couple of years old. The cost to repair these little gems is crazy. I've had a few family members go down the Audi route and if you don't dump them early you're in for a...

    110 mi comute. Whats the best Hybrid..

    I would also respectfully ask you to think hard about supporting Ford because of the current dire situation we face with Government take over of the US auto industry. We need to think about rewarding Ford for doing the right thing. You know the US Government will ultimately stack the deck...

    Scary, Debt will Equal Or Exceed GDP?

    Given where we are headed, I can't disagree! Wishing for Jimmy back is really a sad state of affairs.

    place weather effect on a car?

    I lived in MN for several years in the 80s and it is a chore to keep a car clean there. I never had the luxury of leaving a car in the garage - they were driven all winter. I do remember when I bought a new car in 1982 I could not stand to see it dirty and salty after the first snow in...

    Scary, Debt will Equal Or Exceed GDP?

    Which, of course, won't work because raising taxes severely does NOT increase tax revenue - proven time and time again. It's a sad situation.

    The O-ring fix did NOT work.

    I'm just starting to have that trouble. It won't always go back to vent from defrost or floor. I guess I better stay on top of this before my ESP runs out in October.

    I'm driving up from DC on Saturday morning. I'll leave about 6:30 and get in about 8:30. I go up US15 and then back roads.

    squeaky hood reprise

    In my case it has to be the main latch because the squeak goes completely away each time I attend to it.

    DC Beltway, west side, 5/13

    I first saw her a couple miles up into Maryland then across the bridge and on down past the 267 Toll Road where I take off to go west.

    squeaky hood reprise

    I just went through the dreaded squeak last week. It comes back every few months and drives me nuts. Each time I clean out the grease in and around the main hood latch and re-grease it well. That does it but it is a messy job to have to do 2 - 3 times a year. It is amazing how rapid the...

    DC Beltway, west side, 5/13

    I saw a black MM traveling on the DC Beltway from Maryland into Virginia at 4:15pm last evening. There was a lady driving but I did not signal since I was (oops) in my TBird SC. It seems lately that nearly every time I do see an MM I'm in my other car! I also saw a DTR in my neighborhood the...

    Does a thunderbird super coupe count as a kill?

    Same here. I'm lucky enough to have a 93 SC 5-speed and the 04 Marauder. The SC gets the garage but I drive it to work about once a week. Having the stick blows the Marauder automatic out the window. I almost didn't get the Marauder because of the dang automatic - I hate 'em.

    Has anyone bought Lidios pretuned SCT yet?Need 2 know before I purchase!

    I had a similar situation. I tried the 63 lock-up but it wasn't that convenient for me in the DC metro area so I asked Lidio to lower it. He's not keen on the idea but he did it for me. Also, the trans oil runs hotter on the highway when you are not locked up. I have lowered my highway trans...

    Pontiac really going?

    Exactly! This would be a slam dunk and no one would notice. Is there some other reason why this division exists? From a man-on-the-street consumer POV it makes no sense. If you want the fancier variants of the Chevy SUV, then get the Caddy.
