    Do you have another "non-family" car in the driveway? Looking at getting a second car

    Nobody said the original motor would be in there buddy! A crate LS7 with a supercharger will be going under the hood, and its a fine daily driver. Gets great milage until you put your foot in it. The wife and I have been discussing this car and we are actively searching for the car now...

    Chasing the clunk

    I had a bad clunk in the back, I replaced the rear struts, but the rear upper mount was rusted so bad it fell out after the bottom bolt was removed. Clunk gone.

    The 100K (Mile or Kilometer) Mazda5 Club

    Well, we are at 130,000 since my last post here. Everything is great with the 5 besides some rust coming out around the back fender edges. I am getting that fixed and the full car painted before summer. We need a roof rack and going to get the rhino rack for it.
