    Needed tires and stumbled across a killer deal today...

    I took my car in for an inspection, and they told me what I already knew. My tires were shot. Kuhmo Ecsta ASTs that have only been on the car for maybe 6 months, and they had even been rotated. It turns out my p5 was in serious need of an alignment, which explained the extreme tire wear. The...

    Strange clunking noise

    Well, I took it to the dealership and it turned out to be a problem with the steering system. I'm not sure exactly what, but fortunately it was covered by the warranty, so no cost to me, thankfully.

    Strange clunking noise

    My wife has an 06 Mazda5 and recently its started making this weird clunking noise when she drives around, especially over bumps and whatnot. It sounds like its some sort of loose suspension component, but everything seems to be in order. I jacked it up and checked everything out and nothing...

    Just went to my first autocross...

    Yeah, no kidding. As soon as it was over, I was thinking to myself, "with a few more laps, I could totally get into the 80's..." I think I had no problem maintaining a very respectable speed. I just need to work on reading the cones farther ahead.

    Pics of wrecked MSP #2

    I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me back in october in my old Civic. I was sitting at a light and this lady with an 80's model Grand Marquis slammed on her brakes, ran into the back of me, and knocked me into an Isuzu Trooper. My car was totalled and that's when I ended up buying...

    Custom P5 Trailer

    I don't know about a trailer, but I'd really like to get one of those roof-mounted cargo boxes like someone mentioned earlier and have it paint-matched yellow on the top and black on the bottom. I think that'd look awesome.

    P5 Stereo Questions...

    Hey guys... I'm interested in replacing my stock head unit. I'm looking for a CD/mp3 player and I would prefer a double DIN unit because I don't want to end up with that crappy looking cubby hole above/below the head unit that you get with single DIN install kits. Will pretty much any double...
