    Do factory Porsche Cayenne wheels come with TPMS?

    If it wasn't standard how could I determine if there are TPMS sensors in the set of Cayenne wheels I do have?

    Will Porsche Cayenne wheels fit on other, non-SUV Porsche cars?

    My friend has a set of OEM Porsche 19"s from a guy he worked for that had a Cayenne that we are trying to sell as neither of us have a Cayenne of our own, let alone any Porsche. We are trying to sell these but if they work on any or some Porsche cars as well, not just the Cayenne there would be...

    Buick Lacrosse and Lexus ES?

    Its deliberate, Buick wants to make a name for itself besides being the #1 brand of car for drivers 70 and older. I think they should have aimed their sights higher and tried to outfeature the Lexus, and have a real luxury car, with RWD. If the Chinese market Buicks come as RWD, how come the US...

    I recently bought new tires and when i left, there was black glue/tar all...

    First off I would like to point out this is what happens when you go to a department store more famous for ugly clothes and Craftsman tools and expect them to be good at servicing tires. Lesson learned, but what kind of finish do you have on your rims? Are they polished, or chromed, are they...

    How long would it take a mechanic to replace the ball joints on a Mercedes 190E?

    I left my car at the Benz shop yesterday evening to have the ball joints replaced. My mechanic quoted me at $160 for each installed, so I am guessing the labor is not too long on this operation. Do you think the car will be ready when I get to the garage after work? They will have the entire day...

    The Lexus HS 250, is it just a Prius in a tuxedo?

    They are both hybrids, same 'bean' shape, same parent company. Does Toyota think anyone will be fooled into thinking this is a fresh new Lexus model. I bet anything there is little differentiation to the HS versus the Prius. All they did was probably upholster the insides in leather and stuck...

    Why do southern state issued license plates list the county along with the state?

    What difference does it make if the tabs are good and the plate matches the registration? Does it really matter what county you are from anyway? Why do they do this, is it so the local sheriff can see an out of county plated car and have an automatic reason to pull them over, or is it a way to...

    Was LaserDisc any good in its' time?

    A couple of my friends' homes had LD players but none of us really watched them much since movies were either rare or very spendy. I heard you had to flip them at some point unless you had a super primo model that cost way more than a usual player. That and those discs were as big as a record...

    Fluctuating oil pressure in '92 Mercedes 190E 2.6 while driving: Normal?

    I have a '92 Mercedes 190E I bought used and for the first few weeks the oil pressure gauge would work for the first minute after turning on the car and then drop to 0, which I knew was bogus because the car would read full oil at the dipstick. I took it to a Benz garage and sure enough the oil...

    Does anyone else see the farce of public school kids going door to door w/ sales

    drives/fundraisers? For the longest time throughout the school year, some time over the weekend, I will get some grade school kid at my front steps trying to either sell me some lousy product to raise money for their school or just straight up ask for donations for some group or club at their...

    Does Safeway hide sale products willfully so you can't get a deal and resort to

    buying a costlier alternative Whenever I am at Safeway, it seems there is always at least one thing I had in mind to buy that seems to be intentionally hidden or obscured so that its price advantage cannot be reaped. Case in point: when I moved into my current house I also went to a nearby...
