Went on a really nice trip with Stan and John D. Drive about 70 plus miles without issue. Then coming home I am literally .5 miles from the house. I put my left blinker on and am sitting in the intersection turn left. My turn to go. I hit the gas and all it does is rev. I thought it came out of driv...

Is this possible to change the code from say a 8966 to a 8985 on an old gm ignition cylinder? No locksmiths here in town that I can call. Seems to me that I recall you can take the cylinder apart and do something to change the code; but not sure. Thanks

Today was absolutely gorgeous, and finally a good day for a cruise! Tina and I drove to Fleet Farm in Lakeville this afternoon for some non-oxy, and a guy pulls up to the pump in an orange '70 Boss 302 Mustang that had 60K original miles. It was a 4 speed car, and numbers matching. We got to talking as he...

I replaced my wife's Honda (which I installed a remote start) with a used Lexus and she really liked the remote start, since she could warm up the car. I don't feel like trying to figure it again to do the install. I am looking for someone who knows what there doing, preferably in the NW to N metro. Thank...

Just for giggles I have been looking at the G force instruments like the GTECH SS. Anybody have/use one and are they as reliable and accurate as advertised? Since mine is not a race car I don't know what I would do with one after doing a few runs and seeing what mine is capable of with street tires etc., m...

I like the looks of the new Silverado's and decided to do the on-line "build". To replace my current 2000 K1500 comparably equipped would be $40,000..

I'll wait until they are 4-5 years old and buy one used.

The verts black belts are faded from the sun, so wondering if you can put them in a bucket of t shirt dye and let them soak? Not sure what that would do to the buckles, so would need to wrap them in plastic or something?
