Raising the hood on the car only allowed the heat to escape into the garage more rapidly, which in turn raised the garage temperature. The hybrid...
As a general principle, I prefer to buy a 5 year old car (private party) and drive it for 10 years. I'll have a 15 year old car by the time I part...
As for Troy's last question, the Prius cannot operate at all with a dead traction battery; NiMh or Li-ion. Some hybrids such as the gen1 Insight...
The problem is that MG1 doesn't start the engine when in neutral. MG1 and MG2 speeds have a linear relationship with the vehicle speed when...
I'd be upset if I ever had to spend more than $100 in repairs on any car with 200,000 or fewer miles. I owned a 1996 Subaru Legacy until 2010 and...
Usually the poor kind. Less common is the frugal kind.
The locals in Kauai don't use stolen credit cards to purchase gas; they take it directly from the fuel tank leaving you with fumes to get to the...
