Toyo Proxies are actually supposed to be good tires, especially the proxies 4. The higher performance a tire you get (in general), the lower treadlife you'll get. I think its sort of ok, though, because I consider it somewhat of a safety issue - high performance tires will ensure your tires are...

Even 303 and Optimum Protectant Plus leave a soft, "sophisticated" sheen. I'm assuming you're looking for a soft sheen?

It's probably just the regular Meg's QD with another label and scent added.

I agree, its a pretty nice wax! Only downside is that at least on MY car (Scion tC), it seems to definitely "mute" the flake. I suppose that it is an acceptable trade-off if you need the durability, but I do like my flake in the Florida summer! :D Regardless, its an excellent wax I never...

Not to get off-topic, but the cherry tree story is a farce they used to teach kids back in "our day" ;) Anyway, I'm finding it strange how people are speaking of this guy as if he's some punk kid or criminal? How so? He simply used his talents to help the tech and mobile device enthusiast...

Smart kid. Another group came up with a software solution, but unfortunately was hasseled by ATT lawyers. It sucks, but now instead of them selling it, they'll just probably "leak" it onto the web so everyone will have it for free :) Nice to see the iPhone set free, even if I'm not going to...

Meguiar's NXT Speed Detailer... I didn't think Meguiar's was capable of making such a poor product

Very nice. :cheers: Is it just me, or does anyone else find the amount of orange peel BMW allows on a 7-series to be VERY disturbing? :(

It was a good movie, indeed. I don't know why people think its "communist"? It has nothing to do with communism... Anyway, nice message to the movie as well, although overall, it did lack a little "something." It seems the more intellectual crowd was less than impressed with the movie. However...

For wheels I use this Rubbermaid wheel brush I got. I like it, although I wish the bristles were a bit longer...

yup. If its sitting more than six months then you might want to think about changing it. Otherwise, there's really no reason to change before 5,000. 3,000 miles is the Jiffy Lube scam. Don't fall for it :p. In fact, here's an interesting article: The Truth About Cars | Peek Oil? Modern...

I like the meg's tire brush myself :). I bought it from here, actually. Hasn't let me down yet.

Consumer Reports? LOL. No offense man but there is a reason it is referred to as "CRap" for many people :). Also, I wouldn't look at their wax rating. They're one of the people who expect wax to "clean," remove swirls, and make their dinner. They really don't know anything. It'd sort of be...

yup, I did some research on the DG site and was very happy to find that there were carquests near me. I picked up a 64 oz (1/2 gal) of DG CWC (the shampoo) for just under $14!! Just used it the other day, too - that stuff is GREAT!

If you're pumping past the "click" off, then any gas you pump just goes back into the gas station's pumps but you get charged anyway :( Indeed, was quite a shocker for me as well when I visited NJ. In the South we pump our own gas Im the MAN
