    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    I first became aware of servicing an automatic transmission in the early 1970's when one of my neighbors in an adjoining apartment had to have his transmission replaced after it had failed due to lack of maintenance, that is regular fluid and filter servicing. At that time I was driving a...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Gentlemen, I did a little research and found the BG Transmission Service explanation of what they do and the "benefits" of using this type of service on an automatic transmission. As we are all aware, when it comes to auto and truck care and maintenance there are a lot of choices, products and...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    That's exactly what happens Klasse Act with a BG Service. They do hook up the trans to a machine that drains all of the old fluid out of the trans. Then they cycle through a cleaner to the trans an finally refill the trans with new fluid. We recently had this same trans service done to my...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    It's kind of weird that Ford did not include a dip stick to check on the transmission fluid. The dealer told me that he checked it when he bought the car but nevertheless I took it to my local repair shop and had a complete BG Transmission Service done. The BG Transmission Service completely...

    In answer to your question Klasse Act, I have had the transmission serviced. Later I will also be getting a complete tune up from our Club President, an ASE Master Mechanic, who has a full garage behind his house. I will also be looking at at a Cold Air Intake System too. I'm not into racing...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Thank you Klasse Act! I've wanted a Mustang GT since they came out with the retro style back in 2005. I got back into Mustangs in 2008 after a serious medical event in which I had my Thyroid Gland removed. Since we had recently purchased a 2008 Mercury Mariner, I was limited to a late model...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    I like these wheels very much myself. There are no options on this car as everything comes standard. The Veloster offers an R Model with some minor interior and exterior appointments but both Sarah and I agree that the standard Veloster is sporty enough. She has a leather interior and the back...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Prior to her owning the Mini Cooper S she had a Toyota Rav 4 which she had driven the same way and never had any mechanical issues with that vehicle. The Service Dept. at the Mini dealership told her that driving the car like she was doing, driving it a mile or so and then shutting it off before...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Yes, the Veloster is the Turbocharged version. It is very quick especially when you need to merge into beltway traffic doing 60 mph. She actually enjoys driving this car more than the Mini. Because she drove the Mini a mile or so each way to the Metro Subway to go to work, the Mini developed all...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Reliability was a major concern for my daughter. While her Mini Cooper S only had 23,000 miles on it she had numerous mechanical and electrical issues with this car. Fortunately for her all of these issues were covered under her warranty but she never felt completely confident in driving this...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    My daughter recently traded in her 2010 Mini Cooper S for a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. We saw the Veloster at the Motor Trend Car show in Baltimore in February. She fell in love with this car and bought one in March. This is a sporty looking, economical pocket rocket! It has a turbocharged engine...

    In November 2013 I purchased this 2006 Mustang GT Premium. At the time the car had 146,400 miles on it and now it has 147, 700 miles. I have detailed it except for the engine compartment which will be done when we finally get out of this endless winter. Here are some photos I took during the St...

    Removing dried in egg from paint

    Thanks for the information guys! :dblthumb2: I want to be super careful because this is a new car and I don't want to cause any additional damage to the paint. The Acry-Solv is a pretreat bug and tar remover which is used in high end body shops. I used to be an independent rep for Crest...

    Removing dried in egg from paint

    I would clay the car first before even using the adhesive remover or the light paint solvent. I've always believed in using the least invasive methods first. The paint solvent I am using is called Acry-Solv and is used by body shops to remove wax, silicone, grease, tar, sealer, undercoating...

    Removing dried in egg from paint

    This happened at 9:30 PM after our club meeting. I'm the detail guy they all go to for advice or to have me work on their cars. I used Griot's One-Step which is a mild polish and paint sealant and also tube of scratch remover. Both products were applied by hand. I told my friend that I would...

    Removing dried in egg from paint

    One of the members of my Mustang Club was showing me his 2012 Mustang GT that recently had eggs thrown at it from kids in his neighborhood. While he doesn't know exactly who did this several other cars were also targeted and sustained paint damage from the eggs. As soon as he saw what happened...
