Kinda reminds me of the story about the lawyer in a small town . . when he was the only lawyer, he could charge what he wanted and his advice was “the word”. Another lawyer moved into town and the charges got more reasonable, the advice got better, and a second point of view was helpful for the townspeople. Hope this makes both sites a good resource for folks and their car problems. Rocketman ---

You know, I find it odd (well, not really) but none of the Car Talk lackeys have come by to yell, scream, or remove this thread yet… Oh well. Guess they’re busy making the animations to fill the red borders… how much does anyone want to bet that the animations will cause everyone’s machines to slow down to a Yugo-like crawl? ---

Hey Old Wrench, Didja see the deal on yahoo today from Consumer Reports about best and worst cars to maintain??? Where do they get the numbers? I went to CR’s website and can’t see how it costs that much to keep any car… I do all my own maintenance and so my costs are low…but I still don’t get it.
