| I live in the Caribbean and I am interested in a five-seater Japanese SUV with paddle shifters and a nice sound system.

| '17 Corolla paint peeling bad! What can be done? | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | stos | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello, My mother in SC bought her 2017 Toyota Corolla SE in Blue Crush Metallic brand new, now with 95k miles, and when I went to visit recently, I noticed it has some pretty bad paint issues! I did a quick Google search which shows many others with the same problem and almost identical peeling. It also shows that Toyota will likely not do anything! Several photos here. Any suggestions, Scotty? PS: Judging by the severity it's likely been going on for the last few years, and I wish it was caught sooner (almost 7 years is a long time and 95k miles is a lo ... | |||||

| Hi Scotty,Our 2008 Cadillac DTS, with 108,000 miles, automatic, has occasional hiccups/misfires. The Blue Driver scanner shows U0100, C0895 and U0140 codes. The Blue Driver scanner says these are fairly common codes for Cadillacs.As the car seemed to be braking un-evenly, I took it to a local mechanic. He said the brake pads and rotors needed to be changed. He didn't find a misfire in his scanner driving it around. He said that the communication/low voltage codes were pretty much impossible to fix until something actually broke.The car had new plugs, and 1 n ... | |||||
| RE: Poured wrong coolant into newly-purchased car | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If it was Blue I’d say you have a better chance of being ok doing nothing. Since Honda/Acura usually use the Blue. But since it is yellow, I recommend at least draining the reservoir and filling it up with the Asian Blue coolant for Honda. Often times, in manuals, it will say if you are in a bind, you can use water or almost any coolant. But make sure to drain and fill it ASAP. TBH, I don’t think you need to drain and flush, unless it was a totally incompatible coolant. (Super Tech seems universal, but you’d have to compare the labels of Super Tech am ... | |||||

| Energy Secretary’s Not-So-Excellent EV Adventure It’s rather amusing when promoting electric vehicles goes spectacularly wrong. EMMY GRIFFIN MORE BY THIS AUTHOR Summer road trips are always an experience, as Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm just found out. Granholm set off on a four-day excursion in an attempt to promote the ease, convenience, and necessity of electric vehicles (EVs). She had an entire entourage of EVs with her, including the Cadillac Lyriq, a Ford F-150, and a Chevy Bolt. What she didn’t quite account for was all the extra planning and thinking she had to do to make this trip feasible. Even with all the help she had at her fingertips, the trip wasn’t exactly a model vacation. NPR sent a correspondent on the trip with Granholm to detail the journey. While documenting the trip, Camila Domonoske couldn’t help giving away important details that immediately undermined the purpose of the road trip — to be an EV advertisement. What was alluded to but not explicitly mentioned is that, along with their entourage of electric vehicles, there was also an advanced team of gas-powered cars used to ensure rescue and assuage other logistical concerns they had with their EVs. But even with NPR’s guaranteed leftist slant, it was hard to gloss over what happened next. Granholm’s biggest hiccup happened just as she was traveling through Grovetown near Augusta, Georgia. Granholm and her team needed to stop for a fast charge, and her gas-powered advanced team encountered a major problem. The charging stations were almost full, so one of the team members used their non-electric vehicle to save the last free charging station for the energy secretary. Along came a family on a road trip who also had planned a stop at this station. They noticed the gas car in the only free electric charging station. It was a hot day, they had an infant in the car, and their car was quickly losing charge. The injustice of being edged out of a station because of a gas car was deeply frustrating. So frustrating, in fact, that the family called the cops. Unfortunately for the family, there was nothing the police could do, so they were forced to wait. Granholm’s team eventually did some juggling, including sending the other EVs in the entourage to other, slower charging stations so that the family could charge their EV. This ironic situation and very bad PR for the energy secretary was the icing on the cake of a frustrating road trip. The planning that goes into a road trip with an EV is ridiculous. In spite of apps that should help locate a charging station on the fly, there is a lot more thought needed when picking one. You need to make sure there is a charging station within the EV’s driving radius. Then you need to make sure it’s the speed-charging station you need: 20-30 mins (fast) or 3-5 hours (slow). Then you have to make sure the location is compatible with your needs. Fast charging is preferable near a restaurant, and slow charging is preferable near a hotel. This is going backwards vis-à-vis all the advances that we have made in road-tripping with gas vehicles — you plug in your destination and there are easy gas stops all along the way. Moreover, we don’t really have the infrastructure to support a high volume of EVs on the road. There aren’t enough charging stations or units at the stations. EV owners occasionally report encountering a charger that won’t work, causing more delays, frustrations, and anxieties. Then there’s the impracticality of having to make long stops for recharging. Even having to stop 30 minutes for a fast charge is slow when compared to stopping at a gas pump. Not only that, but charging an EV is still more expensive than pumping gas. According to Business Insider: “Charging any of these vehicles at home will run about $12.62 per 100 miles while fueling one at a gas station may run about $11.08. That difference, while not incredibly substantial, may add up — and when these drivers go to a public charging station, they’re likely to pay about $16.10 per 100 miles.” Perhaps the biggest hiccup of all for the “green” electric vehicles is that, ultimately, they aren’t cutting carbon emissions. Those charging stations are run by electricity, and electricity is primarily produced by carbon-emitting plants (mostly because ecofascists are against carbon-free nuclear power). The more electric needs there are, the more electric plants are going to be needed to provide enough electricity. The “green technology” of electric vehicles doesn’t match the hype of climate activist politicians like Secretary Granholm. It is not close to where it needs to be to present a positive, practical, and energy-efficient means of transportation. If having the cops called on Granholm didn’t illustrate that fact, the other inconveniences of the trip should have. Another point that should indicate to the “green energy”-pushing politicians that they’re doing it wrong is that they feel like they have to sell it to the American people. If the tech were practical and improved the lives of everyday Americans, they would buy it unsolicited. That’s how cars gained prevalence in the first place over horses and buggies. | |||||

| Hi, I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna, my car overheated and when I took it to the mechanic he told me I have a blown head gasket, so he recommended I do Blue Devil for head gasket sealer, which I did, since then it's driving okay, but 1, I'm worried because when accelerating on the highway the temperature gauge starts going slightly down towards "cold", 2, the coolant in the reservoir which is supposed to be pink is a more brownish color now ( you can still see pink in it) are these 2 things anything to worry about and if yes how do I go about it thanks Scotty! | |||||

| Grab a test light and clip its alligator clip onto the Negative battery post clamp. Pull off the Red/Lt Blue wire connector from the starter relay. Hold the test light's probe on the metal terminal in that wiring connector and have somebody hold the ignition key in the Start position. The test light will light up if it's getting power like it's supposed to when the key is in the Start position. If it isn't getting Power, put the connector back on and go under the dash to access the ignition switch. Bring a straight pin and the test light with you. ... | |||||
