jack pad slot height by
micky
What good is a jackpad with a slot if the slot is not deeper than the
thing it holds? Isn't the idea that the weld area fits completely in
the slot and the car is supported on either side of the slot?
I accidentally came across a jack pad with a slot in it, so the weld
line on unibody cars...

Antifreeze brown sludge by
Tom Del Rosso[_5_]
What's the story with this brown stuff that, I was told, must be used

reason, which clog the cap and stick to the sides of the overflow tank.
When I needed to fill it, Autozone only had the green stuff, which seems
to have a...

Do the Toyota Camry headlight polishers actually work well? by
Danny D.[_4_]
Overall, do those yellowed polycarbonate headlight deoxidizing chemicals or
1600-grit polishing solutions actually work well enough to be
indistinguishable from new?
We bought for a college kid an older Toyota Camry of the early 2002-2006

in town?
When you go out of town?

Junk/salvage question by
Michael[_23_]
The used car dealer tells me that the 4 junk/salvage notes in the car's records are because it went through an insurance auction.
Could this be the case, or should I run from this deal as fast as possible?
Thanks,
Mike
