    Skip Shift Explanation, Please

    I've spent the last hour doing a search so sorry if I'm wasting everyones time but I tried to find out on my own. I know all about the skip shift on my car and how to get around it. What I don't know is the theory behind how that makes for effective emissions control. Common sense tells me that...

    Door Hinge Grease

    About a year ago I saw a very nice yellow '01 at the dealership I use for service. A spring in the door hinge (curved metal piece) had broken and the tech said that hinge and spring must be greased to keep from wearing out. That tech is no longer there so here is my question: Does anyone know...

    Paint and Body Experts??

    (Just spent 30 minutes with the search function).......I finally bit the bullet and tried some touch-up paint on some rock chips on the hood. Just now finished and it looks better, but you can still see the chips (of course) they're just the same color as the car now instead of white (primer)...

    Burping Bummer

    My '00 GTS seems to be running hotter and hotter (still below 225 or red mark right of the three in the middle and left of the 250) It used to stay in the three in the middle and only creep to the third when idling in high temps and traffic. So I pulled the burping instructions from this site...

    Hate those ugly sunvisor stickers?

    I just switched mine: left to the right side and the right to the left. Takes about 5 minutes and a screwdriver. Then the only time you see the sticker is if you fold the visor down (which I rarely do since I'm tall and all the visor really does is restrict my vision). Hope this helps

    Despite my goofy posts lately, this is for real. When I picked up my daughter tonight, she wanted some fast food since Mom/Wife wasn't home.
