FWIW, here's my two cents for the grist mill: Last March-May I took a 45-day road trip from Connecticut to Oregon to Florida to Connecticut, for reasons that...
Correct - most cars will experience the same thing. Winter blended gasoline has a higher volitility and less BTU per gallon, therefore you will experience less...

3 hours to change the alternator? You must have been a long ways from a parts store. That's a 20 minute job that requires about 2 endwrenches. So far any...
Hey, thought I'd jump in from the side of the wrench turners! The cold has started to break here in PA, and I'm already pulling non-essential items off my '00...
SON OF A BITC-!!!! Twenty minutes?!?!? The dealer I brought it to charged me $250 and, like I said, took three hours. All I knew was that my car was buzzing,...
Lost my keys yesterday. I figured out how to disable the missing remote(program in the back up 4 times), now I need to take the lock to the locksmith to...
Well, umm.... Maybe it's harder on the 2000... Maybe there's three nuts to take off? (sorry man, couldn't resist) And maybe the alternator is more than the...

Woah holdonasecond! You don't need to take the door off to get new keys. Somewhere, maybe in the owners manual or on one of the car plackards with the VIN#...
Hello, No need to tear the car apart just yet. Take a look in your owner's manual. If your dealer is worth two bits, they recorded a key number in your...
Just got a letter from our Sub dealer, stating that Subaru has come out with a recall that says to put special Subaru antifreeze conditioner in radiator to...
I find it hard to believe the Dealer would send out a recall notice basically asking you to buy his "special" antifreeze. I would be very suspicious. steve d ...
That notice came from Subaru of America, not any dealer !! So I'd have to guess that it is legit. BTW, they also state that if this is done the warranty will...
Hi there, I'm due for new tires and am having trouble figuring best route to take. I've read good things about Bridgestone RE950's, but Sears consider them...
Hi Heather, The following is from http://www.tirerack.com. The conclusion is, as long as you don't routinely drive at speeds over 112 mph, you'd have no...
It is possible that you'd notice a little more flex in the tire. Usually the higher the speed rating the stiffer the tire which generally means better...
the RE950's are a very good tire in all conditions except snow, so if you live in the snow belt, you may have to buy a set of snow tires if you choose the...
Hi, We just put 4 new Michelin tires on a Subaru Impreza Outback 2003. The car has only 17 000 miles. Only our Subaru dealer has worked on that car. All...
What are the stock tires on your 2003? Are they RE92's? I f that's the case, I am not surprised at all. When we turned in our 01 Prius at the end of the lease,...
New cars often are equipped with OEM tires which don't usually last as long as regular retail tires that you'd buy. You're lucky if you get half the miles out...
Thanks for the responses. I believe I've always driven my car with H rated tires (I bought it used at 30k, and the stock tires had already been replaced), and...
Tomorrow my car goes in for its last scheduled maintenance before my warranty expires. This is my first new car, so I'm a bit nervous about the warranty...
