I am interested to see how my Michelins store in the corner of my garage this winter. I was planning to spray them with the 303 Aerospace Protectant when I take them off my car next week. I do 35k a year so tires usually don't last long for me.

I have always staunchly supported Michelins on everything and dedicated snows on steel wheels for winter. That's the pricey route, though. Personally, I'd go with the Forteras. I've been driving a 2010 Honda Pilot with them and they are a very good tire. I had Mastercraft Courser STRs on my TB...

I tinted the windows today. They are the darkest they can get and still be legal in Massachusetts.

Hey guess what, my intake came yesterday. Labeled so badly, even I laughed.

Or like any 7 year old with a lisp.

The CarID rep sent me a follow up email that said "Seph"

I've heard some serious stories.

Now see, I made a drastic mistake. I ordered it from CarID. Who has the worst customer service on the planet.

I just drove from MA to PA last week, at 71mph average I was at 45mpg average. When I got home, and did the math it was closer to 50 over the 600+ mile round trip.

The TB was a high-miler I picked up for $288 from Copart with a clean title and a pile of records sitting on the seat. It had a rebuilt 4L60E, and it was crap. The sunroof was duct taped shut and that was it. It was cheap 4x4 and a platform I was familiar with. It's just a pile, and not worth...

Yep. I did it again. I bought another car. A 2014 Chevy Cruze....with the 2.0 Turbo Diesel, as a Daily Driver. The "FailBlazer" as it has been affectionately named by my co-workers, is being retired to bad weather and towing duty. It is after all, a massive hunk of shit. So, here it is.

The CR-V is a gem of a vehicle in it's segment. I highly recommend you go drive the new Accord 2.0T (which finally landed at dealers just a week ago). It makes the outgoing V6 powered accord look pathetic, I'm not kidding. My next vehicle will be a Pilot. In fact, if they didn't hold their...

No codes, and no warranty. It was one of those f**k the customer over kind of rebuilds.

So my 4L60E is a recent rebuild. It has around 2,500 miles on it. I am not sure what to do here. It began to shift funny on Friday night. So yesterday a friend and myself put a new 1-2 solenoid in it, which fixed it enough for me to drive home and to Dunkin' Donuts this morning without having to...
