1k to fix bad compressor on a unit under warranty. I tried to upload a video of it making the grinding and hissing noise, but we cannot upload .mov files. Any thoughts on this being something other than the compressor?

I am thinking about acknowledging my midlife crisis and buying a Corvette. I downloaded a 2008 owners manual and noticed this: Except Z06: Be sure to check the oil level often during racing or other competitive driving and keep the level at or near 1 quart (1 L) above the upper mark that shows...

2007 M-B E350-80k miles. Runs great although with the cold snap 10F ambient air temp, the car temp will not rise above 70C~150F. As I slow down the temp gauge will actually drop closer to 60C. The thermostat is a 100C- OEM replacement, and in the summer the water temp is over the 80C mark. The...

I just picked up a 2007 BMW 328xi with GA6L45R (General Motors)automatic transmission. Just under 70k are on the odometer and I want to drop the pan and replace the fluid and filter, as there was no record of that being done previously. Any opinions on the Redline ATF? I am not very familiar...

My M-B chromed plastic trim is in need of a polishing as it has a not so nice haze on it that the car washes do not help with. I have Mothers California gold chrome polish, but is this the correct product?

Looking at (2)4-Runners for my son's first vehicle. 2004 v8 w 95k on the ODO. The second is a 2006 v6 w 110k, both are similar asking price. Any experiences with which one is more desirable? Does the engine in this truck make a big difference?

Any recommendations? In regards to quality-or any to avoid?

I am saving up for a potential purchase of a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the next year or so. I have read the Consumer Reports review and they are not stellar when compared to some of the Asian Mid-Size SUV's. I really like this era of the Grand Cherokee however. This would be my son's first car, as...

I need to replace the aluminum wheels on my '01 Mercedes E-320, as I have 2 with bends from pothole damage this past winter. I can get a set of non-oem from Tire Rack for around $130 a wheel which is the same as a reconditioned OEM Mercedes wheel. Not sure what is a smarter play-any opinions...

Need to replace my Walmart purchased creeper. It was the $25 special of course. Any recommendations? Are the 'Bone' ones any good? I can maybe stretch my budget to around $100 +/- Thanks.

For my '01 M-B E320. Just wondering if anyone has any observations of one being better quality than the other. Both are within a couple of dollars of each other. Thanks.
