American auto makers can take apart and study in detail the competitions' cars. They know exactly how the top sellers and reliable cars are built, right down to the screws. They know how they perform on their test tracks. They know what look is selling. So why do they keep screwing up? GM makes...

I am confused by tire classifications like passenger, touring, performance, etc. Which one is 'best' for a 'normal' person---let us say someone like me? :-) (1) I drive about equally in city and highway. (2) I live in an apt, with no room to store winter tires, so I do need all-weathers. (3) I...

I just bought a used VW Jetta without a warranty. My bad. I go to get a state inspection and the dealer tells me the OBD system isn't responding. Maybe he can fix it, maybe he can't. My question is if he can't fix it, does anyone know if New York State has any leeway to allow tailpipe testing...

All of a sudden google is only showing a few posts for each day at RAD and whole threads have disappeared though they still exist on usenet. Google is run by a bunch of car-psychos who think using highway vehicles to kill and maim innocent people is cool and they won't tolerate anyone slamming the...
