I’m not certain that I’ve ever put that much thought into the purchase of a vehicle.


That was the condensed version. I could go on for hours. I don't think you understand how obsessed I am with ...

It will be interesting to see if you end up bored with this...


It won't likely be a matter of if I become bored, rather a question of how soon something else catches my attention. I am wondering ...

I present to you the modern equivalent of the Grand Marquis. In the old days when reaching the age at which life had finally crushed anything remotely ...

On 3/31 (exactly one year after purchase), the Passport went in for its second oil change at 15,937. I had the dealer rotate the tires, too. Their multi-point inspection didn't identify any issues.

On 3/31 at about 49,600 miles, I switched back to the 'summer' tires and wheels. They really are about done, but that will be someone else's problem now. This was the first time I used the jack on my ...

The Passport mileage jumped up dramatically since January's oil change at 8792 miles. Right now, the odometer reads 15859, a gain of over 7000 miles in just a couple months. Our first road trip was a ...

The Jaguar is no longer my highest mileage car. The VW surpassed it today.

Were you paid to do this ad for Swisstrax?


Yeah, they should pay me, but I was just documenting the reasons I bought into this significantly different and expensive flooring paradigm. As ...

I probably should have started a thread for my garage(s) when I bought the place. Our work and storage locations are almost as important as our cars. My main garage is a really nice size, 24X24. This ...

The Honda had its first service yesterday with 8792 on the odometer. The first oil change and tire rotation was free. They talked me into doing the first differential fluid change which was $180 ...

It was over 60 degrees today and sunny, so I decided to cruise my favorite high-speed one-hour loop on Christmas Eve. That took the car over the 49,000 mile mark. The car has no immediate problems, so ...

Yowza, that's an analog beast. There's no way I would ever turn traction/stability control off in a car like that, but I am not even sure yours has such features. Congrats on fulfilling a dream.
