just a second dude, you've forgotten all your high school chemistry. If you're gonna get all technical you should at least be correct. As you move across a period (row) on the periodic table, radii generally gets smaller. The simple explanation is the extra proton in the nucleus pulls all the...

You really think they flush your tires to remove residual air? The nitrogen filled tires racket is nothing but a total scam for the reasons everyone has already noted. I feel sorry for people who waste their money because they trust the clowns that peddle this s***.

Well I think I might be the winner for pumping the most gas into it at any single fillup. Last time I filled up I put 16.844 gallons into it. Well, actually I put about 12 in it and 4.844 on the ground. The automatic cutoff didn't automatically cutoff. Good thing I was just cleaning the...

thanks for the link. I'm in the USA for warranty. I was looking through the FWM for the first time. I've had to do nothing but change the oil so far but I was looking at some common maintenance items and came across one and let's say I almost shat myself..... POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION...

So I'm new here. I bought my wife a brand new 2007 5 a while back and haven't had to do anything but change the oil. So far so good. Tires need to be replaced and it's only got 27k miles on the odometer. I was surprised that a brand new small car could wear out tires so fast (and unevenly)...
