    Mid-size SUV tire recommendations

    My wifes tires on her CX-5 are shot and it's about time for snow to start flying in Indiana. Tires are a 225/55/19 and I'm looking for a decent tire to put on there that doesn't break the bank. I don't want to go cheap, but it's not like there needs to be some sort of performance tire on...

    Helping my Dad out with new ride

    Hey guys. My dad just retired and for his gift to himself he bought a brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock. He loves it and wants to keep it looking nice so he asked me what would be best. I know the basics, 2 bucket wash and leaf blower dry will be the main thing to avoid swirls. But...

    Hey Guys, This is actually for my mom's Jeep she has. Some of the exterior plastic is starting to fade and I'd like to find a product that would help bring back the original dark black look. The easier the application the better, like I mentioned, this is for my mom's vehicle. I saw in...

    Napa Valley Trip Suggestions

    Hey guys, the wife and I are trying to plan a trip to Napa Valley for her birthday in April. I like wine, but in general this trip isn't my normal cup of tea so I need suggestions on what to do there if anyone has gone before. We are younger (29) and still like going out from time to time, but...

    NEW - Tokico HP (Blues) Shocks & Struts

    I bought these last year around 7/1/14 for my 02 GT but never got around to putting them on before trading the car in on a truck. They have sat untouched in the boxes, I’ve never gotten them out. The struts I bought new from JC Whitney and the shocks I bought from a member here. They were used...

    Inspiration from "Lone Survivor"

    If you’re looking for any sort of motivation, this short clip has it. This is the REAL Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell that was portrayed in the movie “Lone Survivor” and his speech to the Alabama football team before they played No. 1 Mississippi State. Pretty remarkable. Sorry, I don't think...

    Anyone replace their convertible top?

    Like the title says, anyone tackled this before and what was your experience like? I'm sure a few have, just haven't found a good write up on "how to" so i'm a little unsure if it's something I want to tackle. Everything I hear sounds like it's a real PITA but can be done. I have a regular GT...

    Anyone ever sell their home themselves?

    I am looking to sell my first house in about a month. I hate the thought of paying a realitor 6% of my sale price because they pulled together some papers and was at my house for a few open houses. Advertising the house, is no problem. Advertising is the industry I work in. Holding open...

    Would you hesitate to buy a car that was stollen at one point?

    Found a nice used car at a dealership with under 40K miles and it looks great. Only downside I can see right now (haven't got to see it in person yet) is that the carfax reported that the car was stollen in 2008. A police report was issued and now the carfax calls it a "accident" on the...
