I just have a quick question. Somebody asked me if they could use painter's tape as an alternative to a front bra for a few days. I honestly did not see a problem but told him I'll get back to him. He said he'll be driving a total of just a 1000 miles and the car will be outside for about...

So with the introduction of the new G37 I can't help but wonder if that same engine will find it's way into the G35 sedan. The new VQ 3.5L in the G35 already makes 306bhp while the G37 is projected to make 330. Just wondering if someone who's interested in purchasing a G35S in the nearby...

I went yesterday and it was a pretty fun experience. Last time I went was in 2005 and the time before that was way back in 1997. Here's some pictures; I tried my best to take full pics of the vehicles but with so many people that went, it was very hard. Pardon my sub par photo skills...

I've posted this car a few times in the past but this was the first detail I did at our new house. The car belongs to my mom, purchased as I entered my freshman year (9/18/04 to be exact). Currently has about 16,200 miles on it. My mom asked me to detail it for her when I had the time. The...

Hey all, we're in the process of finding a bigger house and we came across a couple of towns in Northern Jersey that we've heard of in the past but really don't know how things such as the school district, crime, etc. So perhaps there are members that live in Morris and Somerset County and can...

For those who dunno, I'm a young'un here and I just turned 16 a week and a half ago. I went with a local driving school and today I started my mandatory 6 hours for a permit... I freakin loved it :D We were rolling around in circles in a parking lot so that was pretty easy but I started...

Some of you might remember that I'm just a sophmore in highschool and I was recently asked to do a project for math class where I need to find something that has any lines of symmetry and is outside of the math world. One thing that was suggested was car manufacturer logos. However, this is...

Alright somebody correct me if I'm wrong; For those who don't know, the Society of Automotive Engineering or SAE has presented a new set of stricter regulations for auto manufacturers regarding automotive horsepower and torque ratings. Auto manufacturers have to back up their claim of the...

Guess what? My parent's 10 year old Camry just failed emissions testing for the state of New Jersey. No idea of what the problem is. According to the sheet from the garage, we have until August 31st, 2005 to pass inspection or else something about registration being suspended. We have 45 days...

I did this on Memorial Day. Never got the chance to post it. Soon it's gonna be mine so I'm taking care of it as much as possible. Currently 73,834 miles and it's 10 years old, exactly. Made on June 1995. Usual wash and an all-hand application of ColorX and NXT x2 applied 24 hours apart. I...

I was stuck in traffic with my family on the way to the Holland Tunnel leaving NY. I was on the right most lane next to the parked cars. At a light, I turn and see a girl in here early 20s squeezing her bike car between my car and the parked car. Then I see her side handle bars touch my car...

I was undecided what was going to be my present for me mom even until Saturday evening. So I thought, great, I could detail my mom's car. 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited, Blue Mirage Metallic. There was not a lot of swirls but there were some on the hood. Gold...
