  1. NAPA gold filters are okay. Better than that crap at the other stores.
  2. I don't think the filter is your problem, but what the hey - it's $7. Get the Delco replacement, not Autozone special. They don't filter or flow well. Get that 160 out of there. It's completely unnecessary and probably causing you gas mileage. Autozone carries a 180 for less than $10, it takes three minutes to replace. Too bad you're a little far out for me, I'd stop and figure it out but time is not on my side.

    Thanks, Iraq

    Prices that high will continue to force new technology so we're not reliant on a limited supply, fossil fuel that we don't control and have to buy from people that hate us.
  4. A leak that small probably isn't the cause, but you know it's a problem so I would start there. There is an o-ring in the fuel line but I've never replaced it - I assume you can just fish it out and put in a new one. The lines are (really) cheap from Ed and terminate at the firewall just under the engine so it's easy to replace the whole thing. I think you have a vacuum leak and it could be internal. Where is this car, Vince?

    He's right. I think $80 is a very reasonable price.
  6. Nope, 8" waterproof zip. Sweet. I just bought a shower head from Overstock for $10.
  7. I picked up a pair of boots. Youngstown has awesome work wear outfitters.
  8. I want a netbook. Not gonna get it tomorrow, though.
  9. Apparently I'm smarter than I thought: http://seekingalpha.com/article/108284-saab-may-be-gm-s-best-hope-for-the-future
  10. I was actually pondering this on a long drive yesterday, how weird. I decided that while I like Pontiac, it should be killed and consolidated with Chevy and Saturn. They really only offer two unique vehicles, the G8 and the Vibe. G8 should turn into the Impala and the Vibe should either be moved to Chevy or killed in favor of the Saturn Astra. The rest of the lineup should be axed, and the most popular Pontiac-only options on the G6 should be offered in it's Chevy and Saturn counterparts (I.E. convertible, three panel sunroof). Hummer should be killed, and the new H3 truck hybrid thingie offered in GMC (with different sheet metal). Don't kill the GMT-360 (Trailblazer/Envoy), update it and offer a model in either Chevrolet or GMC but kill it's unibody brand mate (Acadia or Traverse). Kill Buick in the U.S.A. and move it's most popular model to the Chevrolet or Cadillac brand. Chevy and GMC need some differentiation in their truck and SUV lineups. More exotic vehicles like the Avalanche should be GMC-only, make GMC the cool truck professional during the week, play on the weekend 'foreman's' brand. Chevy should sell the vanilla 'workin' man trucks. Kill GMC vans, Chevy only. Saab, IMO, is GM's most exciting brand - but only because of recent major changes. The public hasn't caught on yet. Keep running it more as a separate entity and don't mess with it, let it ride a few more years and see if they take off. Saab could very well be the new Buick, but a more exciting Buick that still engages old people but also draws the young urban professional.
