OK. 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP. $35,000. Has the Northstar V8. And THIS is what the interior looks like: AAGGGGHHHHH! Who the hell designed that!? Why do Pontiac interiors suck so much worse that any other car company? I wouldn't buy the car anyway, but seriously, who looks at that and say...

So there is a kid (maybe 19-20) who lives down the street. He has a piece of s*** Honda del Sol with a absurd body kit, HUGE fartcan exhaust - and the car is spray painted blue. EVERY TIME he leaves the neighborhood, he speeds like crazy, revs the engine, etc. This is a quiet, small suburban...

So I get in my car last night and drive off. I have the A/C on full blast. The car is really hot, so I put the sunroof on tilt to maybe vent some of the hot air. When I tilt the roof, the A/C turns off. Huh, never noticed that before. Maybe it's deisigned that way, since it sort of makes sense...

Took my 2002.5 P5 into Sentry West Mazda in Shrewsbury last week. I had gone through 2 sets of rear brake pads in 34,000 miles, while my front pads and rotors look basically new still. I thought there might be a problem, since that seems pretty strange to me, even if there is a slight rear bias...

I just had to replace my rear brake pads on my 2002.5 P5 at about 23K miles. The strange part is that the rear wore out before the front. Also strange, the outside pads were down to the metal, while the inside pads had about 1/3 left. But that's a different issue. I know this car has EBD, but...

I'd like to upgrade the speakers in my P5. Just something modest, not looking to spend much money. So here are my dumb questions: - Is there a huge advantage to component speakers? - If I just get some new 5x7s for the front, what do I do with the tweeters up by the mirrors? Anything? Like I...

It's almost time to put the snow tires back on the P5. They are mounted on plain black steel wheels. I'd like to find a decent set of wheel covers (hubcaps), but everything I see looks like ass. Anyone have a decent looking set?

I read a couple news items about the upcoming Saab 9-2. Basically it's going to be an Impreza with a Saab skin and interior. GM owns Saab and GM owns part of Fuji Heavy Industries (who makes Subaru) so they are going to make this new "small" car for Saab. Apparently the "Aero" version will...

I happened across the window sticker from my 2002.5 Protege5 last night. I noticed that "Loaner Car Program" was listed as one of the standard features of the car. Does everyone else have this on their window sticker? I feel like some other people here have said they did not get a loaner car...

Anyone here install aftermarket hood struts? These would be to hold the hood up, instead of the metal rod. Thanks.

I'm sure other people have thought of this, but has anyone SERIOUSLY thought about it (Corksport maybe)? What would it take to get the engine from a 88-89 323 GTX into a Protege? All I know is I got to drive a 250hp GTX once and it was one of the greatest drives I have ever had. Insane.

Ok, the options pricing they have on MazdaUSA.com is insane! Example: To get side impact/curtain air bags ($450), you MUST get the Sport Package ($860) _AND_ the BOSE Audio package ($635) _AND_ the Power Moonroof ($700). So, if you don't want to get killed in a side collision, it will cost you...

Has anyone here put headlight protection film (i.e. 3M ScotchCal, xPel, etc) on their lights? I'd like to, but am not sure there if anyone makes a "pre-cut" kit, or I should just buy in bulk and cut it. Thanks.
