  1. Don't let a non car person borrow your DCT equipped car!

    As has been said, not everyone cares about lap times or the 'best' transmission types. I've had a couple friends over the years go out and learn to drive a manual and then purchase a manual vehicle. Every one of them said it felt more fun to drive a manual. Yeah, fun while driving means...
  2. How much did you guys pay for your tints?

    I just paid $175 for sides and rear windshield a week ago. I went legal for the front windows (50% here) and 35% on the rear three. I never wanted to own a silver car but the tint makes it look a bit better and I can usually pick it out in the sea of silver cars in a lot/garage.
  3. High Mileage Volkswagen Passat

    I can chime in on this one! About 4.5 years ago I bought a '96 VW Passat GLX 5sp with 133k on the clock for $1250. It's about to turn 183k and it's been a blast. I've had to do tires, tires, tie rods, wheel bearings, ball joints and exhaust work but to me those are wear items that are bound to...
  4. JCH13 - Turbo Miata Rehab Thread

    Basically I can change my oil and swap my summer and winter wheel sets. I'd have a blast just watching you completely take a car apart and put it back together like this! Excellent job!!
  5. 2013 Ford Fusion

    Most CDs these days come with the album and track information embedded in the cd itself. I think it's called CD TEXT or something like that. If you burn a mix album from, say, iTunes, there is an option to include the text info in the burn. Any CD I burn always includes track info now. I don't...
  6. 2013 Ford Fusion

    I know this isn't helpful but… I wish I had your problems! I got an aftermarket deck for my '96 when I bought it because I wanted to leave an iPod in the console. When it doesn't work I have to decide if its the iPod or yet another VW electrical Gremlin. MFT (or similar) is a big deal to...
  7. I love anti-motorcycle people.

    Personally, I don't mind bikes. I'm sure I'd enjoy the hell out of riding one. However, I am completely sure I would kill MYSELF. Not a car or any other factor that isn't me. When I got my drivers license, I'd already been riding snowmobiles for 4 years I wrecked both sleds I bought - a few...
  8. 2013 Ford Fusion

    I had to go to a Ford dealership today for work and as I pulled up, I noticed I'd parked next to a brand new Fusion Hybrid. It was red like the one posted earlier and looked really sharp.
  9. 2013 Ford Fusion

    That's interesting. I'm in and out of cars all day and have never seen the point of push button start. I suppose if my car wasn't a dinosaur and I didnt have to unlock the doors with the key, I may feel differently. I'm never sure what I'm supposed to do with the keys after I start a push button...
  10. 2013 Ford Fusion

    Not sure what you're talking about… I detail cars for a living and there's something special about a car that beads properly! And those new Fusions are good looking to begin with!
  11. Fog lamps

    I know for certain they have to be taken out. To get to the adjustment screw on the top of the housing. Because I personally drilled out the completely rusted out screws that hold them in place. Haha. It's a VW - if there isn't an at least a 3 step process to do even the simplest things, you...
  12. Fog lamps

    Thanks for the tips. I'll have to suck it up and remove them to see if can figure it out. I had to do my own wiring and everything when I put them in. I guess I'm just tired of taking them out and putting them back in - I must've done 50 times already! Thanks again!
  13. Fog lamps

    I appreciate my fog lights when I drive back home to northern MN. There are tons of deer and no street lights for 100s of miles at a time. For me, the fog lights help light up the ditches and highlight the deer. Side question: when I bought my current car, the fog lights didn't work so I...
  14. So, I ignored everyones advice....

    Hahaha! You nailed it. I've never heard anything like my '96 VW locking/unlocking. Neither have most of my friends but when I proceed to roll down all the windows with my key, curiosity turns to amazement! Lol.
  15. So, I ignored everyones advice....

    I have never heard of that kind of door lock but it total sense. I hate the locks on my old VW! Oh, and the fantastic door handles.…
  16. Oil Change Reminder

    I would imagine your car has sun visors, yes? If said sun visors have mirror on the back side, do what I do and move the sticker there. I never had a problem with sight restriction but I work at a place with a shop and my lube-buddies seem to have a list of unsavory things they can put in the...
  17. How to take care of the clutch

    In 10 years of owning vehicles, I've had two and they were both manuals. I've always kept the clutch pushed in at a red light with the transmission in gear because, well, that's what I was taught in drivers ed. Something about being rear ended and having the car fly off a cliff in neutral. I...
  18. Has anyone ever hear of a company called Arbitron?

    Hah! This is MN, not Canada! There is a lot of google up here but I was pretty shocked when the dollars dropped into my lap. Just thought I'd bounce it off the peanut gallery first!
  19. Has anyone ever hear of a company called Arbitron?

    I just got a piece of mail from them that caught my eye for sure. I opened what I knew was junk mail and two dollar bills dropped into my lap. I looked at the letter and it seems to be a TV/radio ratings company. You do this survey and they send you 5 more dollars. I'm pretty sure they got...
  20. how to remove another car's paint from my car?

    Looks really good! It's nice to see someone who really looks after their car catch a break like this. Wish I would've seen the pic earlier, looks like a slam dunk fix.
  21. how to remove another car's paint from my car?

    I've been thinking about your OP. If you have what you estimate as a 20" rub on your car, are you completely sure there's no paint damage under all of it?? I just can't imagine something having even enough pressure to not damage at least some CC or actual paint. What do you think did it? Pics...
  22. how to remove another car's paint from my car?

    Non-Acetone nail polish remover. Works like a dream. I love customers that come in for scrape removal. Easiest money there is in my job!
  23. Roommate Wears Shoes in the House

    I'm shocked this thread has gotten as much attention as it has. Christ. Who cares?!? I take my shoes off when I get home. I ask my guests to do the same when they come over. I like being barefoot.
  24. How long would you expect a $3500.00 car to last?

    Well said, sir.
  25. Do you drive stick or auto?

    In The Dude's words, "That's just, like, your opinion, man." If you want to drive an auto, do it. It's all good with me. I drive home from work tired everyday too. For me, right now, I like driving a manual. I look forward to the drive home if I stayed late and know traffic is going to be...
  26. Do you drive stick or auto?

    I think you could put a rocket engine in a Yaris and it'd still suck! Lol. What's the Audi in the shop for?
  27. Do you drive stick or auto?

    No kidding. I cry every time I get in a Corvette that has been cursed with an auto. Every time.
  28. Do you drive stick or auto?

    I've only owned manuals. Granted, I've driven autos for work/when I was in HS (parents cars) so I'm pretty confident in my auto driving skillz! Autos are boring to me. I sat in traffic for 45 minutes to drive 10 miles to work this morning. Even so, I wouldn't trade my manual for the world. I...
  29. How long would you expect a $3500.00 car to last?

    Depends on the car obviously. I paid 1K for my '96 VW Passatt three years ago now. Still running like a champ 40,000 miles later. Police Interceptors are legendary for a reason though. Spec'd for heavy duty use with gobs of spare parts available. Stick with it if you like it!
  30. Recommend a good driving shoe?

    Thanks for all the great suggestions! I've been mulling this decision for a while and I knew AT would have the answer! Lots of shoes to consider now! Thanks again!
  31. white paint discolored by bird poop

    This. When you clay bar, you're trying to pick up little bits of sand and whatever else that has embedded in the CC. Your CC is no longer as thick where the stains are so you can't really do anything. That's why you're going to need a compound and polish to sort of even the clear coat out...
  32. Recommend a good driving shoe?

    Thanks throk! That was exactly the type of suggestion I was looking for!
  33. Recommend a good driving shoe?

    I know it sounds ridiculous but it's really hard for me to find a shoe with a thin enough sole. I drive a standard and the feel is so much better with a thing soled shoe. Granted, I hate shopping so I generally look online, get frustrated and give up. I've had Puma Speedcats in the past but they...
  34. white paint discolored by bird poop

    Bird poo is very acidic and that causes the stains you're seeing. The problem is when it sits for too long, the acid actually etches the clear coat and sometimes even the base away. I've had limited success using compound and then polish to remove some of the contaminated surface. Good luck...
  35. Is taking human life the Holy Grail of a gunowner?

    Oh come on. I grew up with a .22LR and have been shooting since I was 8. Believe it or not, some people just like shooting. I grew up in a hunting family and still enjoy plinking with a .22LR. I still hunt. You're kidding, right?
  36. DUI/DWI = No Entry to Canada??

    You're probably right. My home town isn't exactly NYC. One school (k-12) and no stoplights in the entire county. To this day! Point is, it's not that hard to swipe an ID and see what comes up. Granted, maaaybe 100 cars a day can't compare to a major crossing…
  37. DUI/DWI = No Entry to Canada??

    I know it's Canada and everything but they can access your driving record... I grew up in a border town where you pretty much knew anyone working either border. 2 of them were my teachers in school! They've been refusing DUI entrance for as long as I can remember. After 9/11 I'm still...
  38. Wax that lasts 3 months?

    It is nice. Thanks. I charge by the job for and estimate out additional costs. Since the OP stated he has neither a high speed or a randomal orbital, recommending a high speed is basically clearcoat suicide. But hey, whatever turns your pads...
  39. Wax that lasts 3 months?

    Im pretty confident I'm not a dumbass and I still prefer a random orbital to a high speed rotary.
  40. Wax that lasts 3 months?

    Dont let a random orbital scare you. I run a detailing shop and enjoying my Cyclos a lot. People assume you have to put tons of pressure into it when really all you need is the weight of the tool itself. With that in mind, it's super easy (even on small cars) to let the tool almost float over...
