Been meaning to post this for a long time...For those of us that lose our car keys and/or stuff!!! Have you ever hear of "Tile" (a really neat retrieve anything device) NO I DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN THEM EITHER!!!! Here is a link to their intro page...

Well It has been a couple of days since I traded my 2015 CX-5 GT in favor or an older Lexus RX350 (2013)...so far pretty painless sans a couple of "small" CONVENIENCE ITEMS! 1st annoyance is that I find myself walking away from the Lexus, waiting for the reassuring locking beep that the CX-5...

Well, I could not take it any more and I Will miss the ZOOM ZOOM BUT...(Not getting any younger) The CX-5 was killing my back sooo. I bit the bullet and traded for a used (2013) Lexus Rx350 Premium. While definately not fun like the CX-5, This SUV is so comfortable and the options....Like air...

Just hit the wire...new Nissan HVAV is hackable

While looking up an airbag recall (NOT FOUND).. I did come across this one:Anyone hear about this? NHTSA Recall Number: opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 16V-064 Recall Date: February 1, 2016 Manufacturer Recall Number: 9216B SUMMARY: The fuel filler pipe could rupture...

Ever wonder what the little gas pump symbol just to the left of the gas pump symbol is on the dash? Well, if you happen to own more than one car that has the fuel filler cap on the Passenger side (as in Subarus), and have always forgotten which side to pull in on when filling up...Just look at...

This is the worst El Nino Weather season that I can remember (ain't no youngster either). Twas a sunny 72 d,f yesterday and we have about 8-10" od crapola today!...Can't wait for spring:(

WEATHER THE PAST FEW WEEKS HAS BEEN POOR, BUT THIS IS WINTER! Figured 1 "monster" wasalways in the cards...BUT...PEOPLE GET READY!!! Another one is forming off the CA coast...very high winds, lots of rain, (snow beginning in the mtns). Getting colder and fast! At least my CX-5 AWD, which is...

Sorry Denverish! No Spring just yet...Round 3, heavy snow on the way tonight through tomorrow. This time we will get a little in the Reno Valleys, which will make driving a mess again. TG for AWD...I usually need AWD just to get up my driveway and into my garage when it snows down here. OH...

Right now, the high Sierra (Lake Tahoe) is getting pounded by yet another storm...2-3 ft of snow expected for this one; with high winds; and a stormy pattern is expected right through Christmas! For us, this is a welcome way to soften a 4 yr drought! Driving is not recommended in the Mtns!

Apparently there is a possibility of the transmission being able to be shifted WITHOUT the brake pedal being depressed! That's right, the report I saw said ALL 2015 Rogues! An ugly one if true! And to think the Rogue was on my short list last year! That CVT dissuaded me from considering it further.

Get ready for the next one(s) due to BEGIN in the Reno area this Thursday. Last one only produced about a foot in the Sierras and just wind in the Reno valleys. Early forecast is;'calling for a 4 day "event". CX-5 had an oil change, etc. I am going to find out how good this CUV is WITHOUT...

Guess I will turn into a forum weather man. A NEW Snow storm is entering the Reno/Lake Tahoe area right now! Getting really windy (MTN PASS's expect 100 mph winds!) and a foot of snow...get those CX-5's ready if you are east of me!(wow)

I see by the Denver/New England game on the tube, that it is snowing in Denver...I imagine that this is the storm that passed thru Reno over the weekend. If so it a cold and windy one promised. I mean like COLD for this time of year! Drive safe...

AND SNOWED, AND SNOWED......... THE CX-5 WILL COME IN HANDY, SINCE WE HAD ABOUT A FOOT OVER NIGHT!! 1700 people without power. A foot is unheard of at this time of the year and worst of all...Snowblower is not ready either, but at least I have gas for the UPS!!! (nailbyt)

Been reading a bit on the SCBS in my own 2015 GT w/ tech and I must say the amount of information on Mazda's entry into collision avoidance systems appears to be VERY entry level, if one is to judge by the amount of information released. I have seen a bunch of Youtube vids which show "backyard"...

from CBS News...NA Honda will stop using Takata Airbags, in favor of a Honda part!. I believe they announced testing of a Honda Airbag a few months ago. They are all so predictable;W

For those living in leave infested areas...reminder to check your cabin filter. My street and yard are getting covered and the leaves are finding their way into my cabin filter! Since I replaced it during the summer, I vacuumed out the leaves this time and will replace it after the season is...

I know there is a Nav hack (turn off the safety lockout) for the 2016 Infotainment ctr, But is there anything available for the 2015 model?? Have searched the net but to no avail. TIA.

Any information on which IF ANY Mazdas may be involved in the great AIRBAG RECALL? We all want to know, but not by inference, rumor and the like,3. VOLKSWAGON recently stated that a front side airbag DID NOT employ FULLY when called upon to..A potential new deadly flaw...
