What is the most common name in your dating history...?
By Kern Dog
I was thinking about past girlfriends a few days ago and wondered if other guys had the same thing happen. Michelle. That name seemed to be very common for me.

Since then, no more Michelles. Okay, maybe one...? I've dated women with variations of the name Kristy, Crystal, Chris, Christine, Christina... Have you ever... Read more

How would I clean out the cabin air intake?
By AGraham
I was upside down in the driver's side foot-well with a brake pedal in my right eye socket and a flashlight between my teeth yesterday going to war with the heater control valve when, who'd of guessed it, fall came early! Leaves, needles, grass clippings, detritus galore. The entire central tunnel under the blower and exchangers was PACKED; there was a fair amount of moisture under the driver's side carpet as well; thankfully, no rust. How does one clean out the intake under the windshield... Read more

Still here, just found a new form of Motorsports
By 68 HEMI GTS
Haven’t been around here much. Still got the mopars but I don’t play with them a whole lot at this time. I got the kid into racing in 2024. We started off with one quarter midget running rookie classes. In 2025 I added a 2nd car and he got his first championship at club level in his heavy 160 car. This year I have a garage full of cars. We typically run 3 classes but sometimes 4. He secured the championships in the 3 classes he ran at club this year. Looking to go after the regional stuff... Read more

The information is split up over several posts: - Overview and What to... Read more
How to reset the i-stop system (eg after battery replacement)
By 151614
On CX5s and other Mazda's with the i-stop system, i-stop may not activate after the battery has been replaced or was disconnected during some servicing. In this case you will either need to ask your dealer to reset it, which they can by connecting up to the diagnostic system, or you can do it yourself. I found some instructions for a MZR 2.0, but it worked very similarly, as below, on my CX5 2.2 diesel. 1. Warm up the engine. Turn everything electrical off that you can - radio, A/C etc... Read more
