I always thought ceramic meant like pottery, plates, etc. I guess when I was a kid the big thing was carnuba wax or something. :(

I agree about the saftey issue but I think the manufacturer should take it unto themselves to make sure the DRL are easy to use. The auto function should be designed in a way to avoid this driving with only DRL , without any tailights, whatever issues caused by the confusion between dash lights...

I figure Halloween-Thanksgiving range is good, you get fresh oil for the winter ahead.

I understand that Mobil 1 can be considered a fairly stout oil, maybe that helps reduce consumption. Does it smoke when you restart the engine after it has been warmed up?

I have noticed this type of behavior with mp3 media, but I don't remember the exact details, I think it might have been a CD burned w/mp3s, and it didn't want to get all the way into the folder structure, mostly the 'top layer'. I'm a little disappointed the sirius too, but it works great out...

Yeah that could be just natural sealing somehow, of course I really have no idea. Have you tried a "high mileage' oil, I believe they add seal conditioners and that might help. Is is under warranty?

I did exactly the same thing. I keep them on a shelf in the garage.

I think Edmaz hired a shop to re-do his with memory foam, especially the side bolsters. It is true that seating can affect the geometry of peoples bones, etc and that can cause hip pain. I've read that flat bench seating is better for this aspect, not bucket seats. So they should have a flat...

I think I might get some fog lights but wire them for independant operation.

Could it need some kind of lubrication?

One thing I've found in situations like this where you really cant do anything is to just wait it out for an extra 10 or 20 minutes and enjoy the slow boring ride. It can actually be a bit relaxing if you want because it's so easy to drive that slow. Grab something out of the cooler, bring up...

Yep, I think a lot of cars these days have accessories or whatever that tend to use juice and can slowly run a battery down. Rule of thumb it takes three times as long to recharge a battery as it took to discharge it, which is why short drives never really get the battery fully charged...

I 've got the 17 wheels and I like them ok. I always figure the OEM wheels should work well partly just because they were designed for it. Oh, you might want to look at the threads on seat cushions. CX 5s seem to have firmer foam than some people prefer. Memory foam's what I use. It's a...

I think this is true of any size of wheel, and how stiff the sidewall is, how many/ what kind of belts, etc. Some tires seem to be designed for light SUVs and crossovers and I wonder if they have slightly stiffer sidewalls. The LX25 for example. Would looking at the load number be any...

All of the strange things happening does seem like it is very likely a battery problem. New or not it could be discharged somehow and it doesnt' matter if the battery is new when something could be running the battery down after a period of time. The only way to tell is find out the battery...

Driving up Pikes Peak a car can only corner so fast. unless they have the road blocked off for the road race it could be a real problem if somebody going down Pikes Peak was also racing around corners at the same time :(

I kind of wonder how does carbon gunk get baked onto the throttle body? Does it come through the air flow system somehow?

yes, it can be replaced and there are lots of links on this forum, plus in the resources the manuals on p2.

That's supposed to be really good stuff, some people might say too good for only 5k miles but I would keep your intervals if you think that is best. Lately I've been trying to use a oil pan heater to get a head start on getting the oil temp up. I remember reading years ago it could take 4-5...

If the water pump has leakage it can throw coolant around from the belt and it's on the passenger side. Is your's a turbo?
