    Hubcaps?

    I've been looking for replacment 15 inch wheel covers for a '02 Protege for a while now (I've got a few cracked ones). Are there any places in Montreal that sell them? I tried one of the big "junkyards" but came up empty... Any Internet sites out there that carry them? I'd prefer new ones if the...

    Snow storm and tires

    I've got Pirelli Icesports on my 2002 LX. They are tremendous on ice, slush and hard-packed snow. They grip the road very well. I've driven here for nearly 14 years, but the condition of the roads in and around Montreal were the WORST I have ever seen them this past week. Aside from the ice...

    Canada: automatic headlights??

    We've had daytime running lights on all new cars in Canada since 1990 if I'm not mistaken.

    Rust Proofing on a new car.

    Another thing, they give you a big bottle full of grease to take home with you. Supposedly, once a month during the winter, you are supposed to brush some of it on the chrome and the divider on the sides of the body, and that will help prevent any rust in those areas. I figure it can't hurt to...

    Rust Proofing on a new car.

    A place called Barry's. It's right next to the airport. It's about the most low-tech place you've ever seen, in fact, when I went there, they only took cash. But, they've got a tremendus reputation, and their long-time customers swear that the system they use works great. So far, so good.

    It cost me $300. I didn't do it at the dealer.

    Rate the Montreal Mazda Area Dealers

    I e-mailed Spinelli a few times and got some quotes before I bought my car, but I ended up buying my '02 Protege LX at Gabriel, mostly because it isn't far from my home. I can't complain about the service, they have been pretty good to me. On the evening that I picked up my car, the salesman...

    Rust Proofing on a new car.

    I had mine done by method number two (some kind of grease) a few weeks after I got my car. It comes with a 7 year guarantee and touch ups needed after two or three years. They didn't make any holes, rather, they removed the panels and so on. It takes a lot more time, and money, but it's worth it.
