    Good ride tires

    FYI - the Goodride website says "the tires are made China and sold in 40 foot containers." and "meets all the safety requirements for Canada." But they sell worldwide, but only mention meeting Canada's safety requirements. I looked into this recently, because we got a new (2001) car at...

    "Dust to Glory" Great film about off-road racing

    I can second this recommendation. Always love to see a well done movie that costs something like a few hundred bucks to make. Truly a labor of love for the filmmakers.

    Acura Factory Fill?

    I go to several dealerships a year, under the guise of thinking about buying a new car, to test drive new models. I continually amazed at the complete lack of knowledge these guys have about the product they're selling. Most of them are new, having worked at a variety of dealerships in their...

    Good News; GC: Its back on the AZ shelves.

    Yes yes yes, it's back. But for how long, considered its still rated SL, when the industry norm for oil is SM?

    Good News; GC: Its back on the AZ shelves.

    But how long will it last being "merely" API SL rated, instead on the now industry norm SM?

    GC IN CA

    OK, here's a question: Why is this new 07 GC API-rated SL? Instead of the current SM standard? And how long could we expect this apparent resurection of API-rated SL GC to last?

    GC IN CA

    Yes it is! Picked up 6 quarts (coded 07011) last night in the tiny town of Delano. Behind them on the rack, tho, were two very dusty bottles of '04 vintage. Score!

    Suggestions - Mazdaspeed 3 First Oil Change

    If it were mine, it'd would be my 5th Mazda. I agree with your decision to change the oil now to rid it of the metal particulates that are present in factory oil, regarless of what the manual states. UOA after UOA shows significant metals in the oil after only several hundred miles on new cars...

    Biggest POS engine

    Mazda Millenia S with the Miller-cycle variant. Never owned one, but have had 4 other Madzas and keep in touch with other Mazda owners and Mazda mechanics. Not quite a supercharger, not quite a turbo, but a different type of 'boost' the Mazda engineers bolted on their V-6's on this premium car...

    Old Movies

    Huge film buff myself. Positively a fan of the classics. Been known to drive down to Hollywood and see them on the big screen -- as they were meant to be seen -- for kicks. There's even a theater that shows only silent films near the Farmer's Market (favorite silents: The General, The Gold Rush...

    Am I a wimp? (no yes/no answers please)

    But do you get all the oil out with the front of the car on ramps? With the incline and all? There's a photo somewhere on one of those internet ghoul sites of a guy who was 'slowly' asphyxiated by his car while under it (not enough to crush him, only to depress his diaphragm where he couldn't...

    "Katrina" Mobil 1

    What grade and what store was this?
  16. T

    Mobil 1 and grp III continued.

    Nice civil thread here. I say label the product with what it actually is (like Motul)and let the consumer decide if the Mobil 1 EP is worth $6.49 - $7.19 a quart.

    2006 HONDA ODY Kid hauler needs winter tires

    Bridgestone has updated the venerable WS-50 with the newer Revo 1, supposedly a new and improved model. I think this tire is designed for some serious snow and ice when you can't or won't do studs. On dry roads, you feel the sacrifices in handling. But the Revo 1 makes a better go of it than the...

    Oil for 2006 Grand Prix 3.8L series lll

    Is this the supercharged variant? Either way, heckuva engine, I loved mine SC version in a 99 Buick Regal GS. Wish I'd never traded it. Iron heads! Old School! The general opinion is that this is one bullet proof engine and judging from the UOA's Ive seen, I concur. Someone will probably reply...
