I loved my Titan, but, and it saddens me to say it, but mine was clearly not a very reliable vehicle...

Tom says my wagon is actually a hatch - but I disagree
No way do I consider the Fit a wagon, sorry...

Please someone stage an intervention for her. If she cant find a buyer for the bling wheels, she wants to powdercoat them Suzuka and put them on the car. Me thinks that will make it blingier in a hello kitty way

all courtesy of Ferrari's dramatic response to the Ford's silent legal challenge.

Inspite of all that hoopla, the commentators continue to pronounce it as the Ferrari F150 and not the Ferrari F150th

You may be on to something there. Maybe someone will powdercoat one set (out of the unlimited set of AP1 wheels they possess) in Spa.

Yes, please someone buy my freaking wheels hey dude, would they work on my Fit Word!

Someone go warn the Fit community. Having failed at selling them to the Civic guys, she is now targeting the Fit community

Maybe this guy will trade with her.

Need Advice: Driveway sealing. Must it be done every year? I've been inundated with offers to seal the driveway from contractors who are working in the neighborhood. I did not do it at all last year.

Is this:
A) Something I can do as it will require very little skill akin to lawn mowing
OR
B) Is this something that is best contracted out to a pro so it will be done the right and correct way
OR
C) Don't bother doing it. Repair cracks if any as and when they appear.

I'd stay away from contractors trolling the neighborhood to reseal driveways. While they may be reputable, many of those companies have been shady, and basically "paint" the driveway.

You can apply some driveway sealer yourself (messy task wear coveralls), or you can repair as you go.

Lots may depend on how much asphalt was originally put down, and what kind of condition your driveway is in.

Thanks Lainey. Driveway is fine. No big cracks that I can think of. However it is not glossy black like the others. I may just do it myself and take the wife out to dinner with money saved
