    The green glow like no other, the classic Alpine car stereo

    Growing up, there wasn't anything more high end than an Alpine car stereo. They were considered top of the line for their era, and their staple green glow set them apart from all the others. I have so many fond memories of them.

    Changing your power steering fluid

    I sure miss having my Dad around for this stuff, but I think I am going to take on the task of changing my power steering fluid in both Hondas. I have been watching YouTube videos the last couple of days, and it doesn't seem to be too hard. I think I will use video #3 to make it a little bit...

    Parking far away

    You know it never fails, I am out of town and no matter how far away I park from everyone else when I come outside vehicles are around me. I can’t even make it up. I literally make my family walk a mile to get in the store so that no one will park around me and door ding my car, but it never...

    WeatherTech products

    I must say I have always been impressed with this quality. I first bought a pair of their wildly renowned floor mats back in 2010 for a vehicle. They held up nicely and kept the dirt/snow for the floor. I tried a knock off brand in another vehicle years ago and they just weren’t the same. They...

    New vehicle shopping

    I have been new vehicle shopping for about the last month. I read something interesting lately about car dealerships refusing to sell vehicles to buyers who want to pay cash. Apparently, they make money as a kickback from the bank on interest rates from financing. If you walk in with cash, it's...

    Running out of motor oil for vehicles in the near future?

    I have been reading about this slowly the last couple of days. You want to talk about bringing a country to it's knees.

    The ultimate off road vehicle, the Ford Model T

    I have been wanting to post this for awhile. The model T is even better than modern 4x4s. I have seen old photos of pioneers driving them through the hills and always wondered how they got up there on such thin tires.

    Retro looking vehicles

    I have been wanting to make this thread for a while. A thread where we can post modern retro looking vehicles.

    Aftermarket oil dipstick

    I saw a post about people complaining about how hard it is to read some factor oil dipsticks. I have to agree, even mine you have to hit directly in a flashlight or sunlight, especially when your oil is fresh and translucent. I saw this photo of a knurled design and I thought it was a great idea...

    2026 Subaru Uncharted

    Looks like Subaru is releasing a new model of vehicle. It's a new electric EV (*yawn). https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65415561/2026-subaru-uncharted-ev-revealed/

    2026 Toyota RAV4

    Looks like the new Rav from Toyota now only come in a hybrid wether you like it or not. Not a smart move if you ask me, not everyone is wanting to be forced to hybrid or electric technology. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64704544/2026-toyota-rav4-revealed/

    Mistubshi Outlander

    So we currently have a rental car while our Subaru that got ran into is getting fixed. My wife picked it out and she had a few options to choose from and this was the only third row that they had. At first I thought it was ugly, reminded me of the new KIA looks. Honestly I didn't even know...

    2026 Subaru Outback

    Images just came out of the new design. Very boxy! What do you think? https://www.caranddriver.com/photos/g64477840/2026-subaru-outback-exterior-gallery/

    Subaru’s pedestrian airbag

    I had no clue that most modern Subaru’s have an airbag for pedestrians. I guess this is cool and all, but why should I be protecting someone walking in front of me? Like I said I appreciate the concern, but I am sure that this is worked into the vehicle cost as well. Strange part is I can’t tell...

    I hate roundabouts!

    I don't know why this is the new trend but I absolutely hate roundabouts. The single lanes were hard enough, but the dual lanes ones are on another level. Shoot what's next, 3-4 lanes? It's not really me going around them, but other people I worry about. I wish they would just go back to stop...

    Automobile prices and the upcoming tariffs

    So with Trumps new announcement on the automobile tariffs, how do you think this will affect the current prices? I believe it is 25% and will remain in effect until his presidency is over. I understand why he is wanting to do it, but it will take years for plants to be built in the United...

    Automated vehicle floor vacuums

    I had a dream about these the other night. Basically on 3 sides of the driver's seat and three sides of the passenger's seat, along with the rear seat's entire bottom length and sides, you would have some thin meshed slots. These would be tied into duct work that runs down the center column...

    A modern vehicle without all the modern tech

    I felt like creating this post since in the last few days I have had two different people talk about this. Why can't a modern-day automobile company produce a truck that has no computer technology to it? While modern day comforts are nice such as adaptive cruise control, heated seats, power...
