    Explanation and Cost

    As many know, I'm a computer guy not a mechanic. So, as I had my car up the lift getting its tranny fluid drained I did a walk around of the suspension. Seems the rubber is worn and torn around the horizontal arms by the wheels as well as the vertical arms rubber that run up toward the air...

    Mileage dropped 1.5 mpg

    I've noticed that my mileage has dropped from 18 mpg city to 16.8 mpg city over the last 6 months. I have recently had the fuel filter changed with no difference in mpg. The car idles fine, drives fine, takes off fine. Just wondering what may be causing this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Strange Shift out of First

    Should I send my dog to the pound??

    If our dogs (4 great danes) chewed my car like they did our couches, rugs, recliners, etc. all that would be left is the tranny -- I think. White vinegar works too.
