    Dead battery again? Oh noes!!

    Well, what do you know? My car starts and works again. Strange. I was just gonna take my battery to go get it checked, and I decided to see if it'll start. Hmmm, can anyone narrow it down to about a 10,000ft view now? :) Any suggestions welcomed, as its gonna be a cold weekend to be working on...

    Battery or Alternator?

    I'm pretty sure its the battery. It happened to me twice, last winter, and once last month, and today, somethings wrong with my car and I can't figure it out. Same symptoms as you. Lights come on. Windows work. Air...etc. I even tested the battery with a voltmeter and it read somewhere around...

    Dead battery again? Oh noes!!

    Well, I believe I posted a month back about having bad luck with Autolite batteries in this MN winter. Anyways, I got my fourth Autolite battery, under warranty, about a month ago, because my third one died. :) Well, seeing as its been on average -20 here in MN the last couple of nights, I knew...

But then recently when it warmed up, the clicking stopped, but now it's super hard to make right turns. So finally today, my engine started making...

    Well...we bought a CR-V.

    As the title says, we bought a CR-V. We got a AWD EX trim for 25077 OTD. I probably sounded like a cheap *ss bastard in my other posts, but that wasn't my intent. I was just trying to get the best deal possible and all these salesman wanted me to pay MSRP. I finally got one dealer to go down...

    5AT in Mazda5

    Thanks for the info guys. Well, the thing is, I don't really care for the Touring trim either. In our 03 protege, I've never used the moonroof. I've replaced the stock speakers too. So a moonroof, upgraded sound, doesn't matter to me. Although I think the 5 looks much better with the spoiler...

    5AT in Mazda5

    Hello, will the 5AT really make a difference in the 08 5's? As far as mpg and better power output to the butt dyno. I know that we have to wait and see to actually know, but maybe some of you have driven 5AT equipped cars and know a little more than I do. Besides that feature, I could care less...
