Those of you using higher than 87 for no reason other than you think "it's better" could actually be causing problems. Since higher octane gas is MORE resistant to combustion, you may not be burning your fuel as efficiently as possible. And as rich as our cars run, using a higher octane fuel...

I'll beg to differ on that. My P5 will be 3 years old next month. I just replaced my first blown headlight bulb about 6 weeks ago. That's well over 2.5 years. And the other stock bulb is still fine. Truth is, the only bulb issues I have EVER heard of are about aftermarket bulbs. I've...

I didn't use any primer at all. I just sanded the parts very lightly with 220 grit to remove any oils, etc. Then wiped them with alcohol to get all the dust and impurities off, then sprayed away. The only part I DID really sand was the e-brake trim (see the first pic I posted). It's...

Thanks to Witchdoktor for pointing me to this thread. As far as I'm concerned, there is NO better paint than SEM Bumper Coater for interior plastic. I painted my gauge cluster, along with all the "champagne" colored trim inside (door handles included) and it still looks like the day I...

The toothbrush one is the same one with Kramer adopting mile 114 on the highway - my little reference a few posts up ^ I always like the Kenny Rogers Roasters episode, where Jerry moves into Kramer's apartment and starts to "become" the K-man. The scene where Kramer pours tomato juice on...

Like I haven't seen every single episode at least 200 times already..... I'd never buy those DVDs. But I will keep watching on TV.....strange. Okay - gotta go clean up mile 114 now.........luxury lanes. ~HH

Sheesh, dude - is this really the best place to try to get this info? Why not try here: http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/ ~HH

What separates it from the Vibe/Matrix is the same thing that sets the P5 apart - it's NOT 12 FEET TALL!! Seriously - next time you pull alongside a Matrix or Vibe (hopefully at a red light), compare your window ledge to theirs. Compare your hoodline to theirs. Compare the seating positions...

Babylon. Just got done digging the car out a little while ago. Gonna head up to Belmont Park with the wife's Cherokee in a few hours. We're taking the neighborhood kids, and we'll be tying a sled to the rear bumper of her truck and pulling them around the parking lot :):) Where are you from...

Ouch man. The BQE just plain sucks - even in dry weather when you're NOT spinning out....... My 5 hasn't moved since it started snowing. With the amount of snow and the drifts, it looks like a Honda Element in the driveway covered in snow ;). At least you're okay, and aren't hurt. ~HH

Except the center spoke is stamped MazdaSpeed also. Not just a swapped horn button. ~HH

My Ericsson T68i is the biggest piece of s*** I've ever owned. I hate this phone. It's slow, the reception sucks, it locks up, and one (I have two of them - one for the wife) is slowly losing pixels on the screen. I can't WAIT to get new phones for us. As soon as I figure out who has the...

My thoughts exactly. Sheesh.:rolleyes: ~HH

The CF-looking side pieces are not separate, so there is no way to "take them out". ~HH

This must be totally false. It is illegal to have ANY auxilliary driving light on when the high beams are on. That's why the stock foglights shut off when the high beams are engaged or flashed. The law is that you get 2 sets of driving lights. That's it. And high beams count as 2...

I would ask the dealer about the mileage thing. I keep hearing how it's stored in the cluster, and can't be rolled forward - but my scooby-sense tells me that's just too easy - and that there has to be a way of protecting against odo fraud. And BTW - you need a steering wheel puller to get the...

The blue tape could have been something normally removed during dealer prep before delivery, and they just forgot to pull it off. ~HH

I'll tick 54,000 this coming week. ~HH

My car looks like that - dirty wheels and all. Who the hell cares. It IS just a car. And I put so many miles on it, I'd have to wash it every other day. Sorry - don't have time for that, and I don't care enough. And those who are so concerned about other's automobile cleanliness ought to...

Most HID kits are illegal, and those that aren't are insanely expensive. In order to be legal, HIDs on a car must have a self-levelling system. HIDs - as we know - are extremely bright, and can cause some damn nasty glare and blind other drivers if aimed right at them. The self-levelling...
