			<description>&#60;p&#62;I bought a camaro in September. Trash from the road hits the side of car causing paint damage. GM will not do anything about this problem, but tell you they are sorry. It&#38;#39;s not covered. So if you own a 2010 Camaro you might want to invest in splash guards to keep your car from damage. They might help, however my car looks pretty bad from this. Has anyone else had this problem that you know of?

&#60;p&#62;If so, how long do they hold their value?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Remember Oldsmobile? yeah the name sucked but they had some good cars... specifically, the Aurora. That was the sweetest &#34;stealth&#34; car in the 90's. I remember my neighbor had one growing up and I always wanted it. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Of course now I could buy a used one, but there are so many newer more exciting cars now :p

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I happened to be combing through some of the archives of The-Grayline blog and was saddened by what is no longer relevant.  For example, located in the categories section of the blog there are 2 names that jump out at me that will probably never receive another post.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://the-grayline.com/category/saturn&#34;&#62;Saturn&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://the-grayline.com/category/pontiac&#34;&#62;Pontiac&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I wonder if we will be seeing any other manufacturers disappearing after the first of the year?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;The 2007 Ford Mustang &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.kustomatic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gt-convertible-mustang.jpg&#34;&#62;GT Convertible&#60;/a&#62; is the most solid, best handling and most refined open-air version yet of this American legend.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And because the convertible was designed alongside the coupe and not as an afterthought, it is much more solid than coupe-derived convertibles of the past. Better still, it retains all of the personality that has made the Ford Mustang one of the most-loved automotive nameplates in history.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Mustang GT Convertible was designed from the ground up to deliver a more rigid body structure without adding burdensome weight. This was accomplished by engineering it in tandem with the coupe. An added benefit of this process - one that helped meet a goal set for the convertible&#38;#39;s exterior design - was that it provided the car with a cohesive, integrated look. It does not look like a coupe that has undergone reconstructive surgery to become a convertible.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Aside from the top, the 2007 Mustang GT Convertible shares the look of a legend with its coupe sibling. The signature long hood, short deck and classic design cues may be found on both. There&#38;#39;s an unmistakable hint of Mustang notchbacks of yesteryear in the convertible&#38;#39;s profile and stance - with the same athletic proportions, save for today&#38;#39;s bigger, wider wheels and tires, that make it look as good at rest as it does at speed.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;If theres an iconic hot rod its &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.dragdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/ford-deuce-roadster.jpg&#34;&#62;Ford Deuce&#60;/a&#62; Coupe and Roadster, and to commemorate 75 years of blue-oval devotion starting next year, the Dearborn, Michigan based automaker has commissioned Hot Rods &#38;amp; Horsepower LLC of Branford, Connecticut to build one hundred versions of the classic rod.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The first Dearborn Deuce (Serial No. 7532001) has been autographed by Edsel B. Ford II, grandson of Edsel Ford, who was the designer of the original 1932 Ford, to be sold to the highest bidder at the annual Barrett-Jackson auction in January, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;One could only hope that along with the regular roundup of celebs that show up for the event, like Jay Leno who might even bring along his own 32 roadster, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys will drop by and sing “Little Deuce Coupe” before buying his own, and Paul Le Mat (John Milner) from American Graffiti fame will rev the engine before adding his signature.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I’m not a complainer. I’m not generally particularly vocal. In fact, I guess most people would say I’m a rather quiet and conservative sort respecting most things. All of that notwithstanding, I am really ‘ticked’ right now and I need to get it off my chest. It has to do with my recent experience buying a new car.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I provided a deposit on a Lexus HS 250H hybrid in June with anticipated delivery in September. In doing so I was expressing my intent to buy a car based on nothing more than information supplied in small part by the dealer and gleaned primarily via the Internet. The Canadian Lexus site was kind of stingy with information, until just recently providing a brief general description only, with additional information and pricing added in the last couple of weeks. But there was a lot of press respecting the introduction of the car in Japan. And the American site! WOW! Significant information has been available on the US site since the Detroit Auto show in January (&#60;a href=&#34;http://jalopnik.com/5128655/lexus-hs-250h-a-prius-for-the-country-club)&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://jalopnik.com/5128655/lexus-hs-250h-a-prius-for-the-country-club)&#60;/a&#62;, and that has been eclipsed lately by multimedia everything and a television campaign built around the idea that ‘SOMEDAY JUST MIGHT BE NOW’. They are using four main ads, all expounding the marvellous technology inherent in the HS 250H; radar, infrared, satellite and sonar.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I looked at the brief list of features on the super-duper Ultra-Premium HS 250H I had ordered in June and wondered why the Canadian description didn’t list all of the functionality I had read about on the web. But an HS 250H is an HS 250H isn’t it? The market is apparently limited to Japan and North America. This isn’t being marketed as a world car with changes nation to nation. Surely the relatively minuscule number of Canadian cars would be essentially the same as the much larger numbers of US cars delivered to these shores. I mean, I ordered the Ultra-Premium HS 250H and was told it had everything included. So I put it down to just a lack of information, a conservative marketing approach consistent with the very limited information on the Lexus Canada website. The difference was just with the ‘juiced-up’ American hype generated by a good marketing campaign. I mean, what else could it be?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And then, after almost four months of waiting I got the dealer invite to drive one of these marvellous high-tech cars. I was ecstatic. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My sales person at the Lexus dealership did a superb job and in fact has performed in exemplary fashion at all times. As the demo concluded, I asked questions. If the demo car was the Ultra-Premium HS 250H with all the options just like the car I ordered, why was the heads up display button plugged with plastic? The demo didn’t include info on the pre-collision system and the TV camera mounted up by the mirror. What about the parking assist? And how do I turn on the wide-view front monitor? What about the dynamic radar cruise control? Where was the lane keep assist and departure system? And why was there no mention of Lexus ‘Enform’?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was told that this is the Ultra-Premium CANADIAN model of the HS 250H and it doesn’t have those features. Oh, I think to myself. I thought this was an HS 250H like the other people in the world were getting. But now I find out that the technology, relative to what was expected, apart from the very good hybrid system and a few neat but largely inconsequential innovations, consists of a bunch of commands via a very nice and intuitive interface that allows me to operate things like picking the radio station. HMMM! This isn’t the car I have been reading about in the Google reports delivered automatically to my e-mail account every single day for almost four months. This, in my personal opinion, I think to myself, is an emaciated hollow insipid shell of an HS 250H. But how could that be. Was it just my imagination that led me to believe that my car would come with all the ‘bells and whistles’? A July 15 (&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.canada.com/news/Full+details+Hybrid+&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.canada.com/news/Full+details+Hybrid+&#60;/a&#62; Lexus+250h/1793756/story.html) Internet article on “Driving.ca” seems to infer that the Canadian car is the same as the US car because it is a Canadian publication and they include a full description of the technology features. Surely, I think to myself, an organization the size of Toyota Canada has a public relations department capable of ensuring the rather small and contained Canadian automotive press has the correct information.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But no, I decide that couldn’t possibly be the problem – or at least not the only problem. Why? Because Toyota Canada issued an official Toyota press release on the Canadian model of the HS 250H that stated in part: “An available wide-view front monitor helps the driver to check hard-to-see areas. Using a camera mounted in the front grille, the monitor provides a 190-degree front view on the Navigation screen with the push of a button on the steering wheel.” (&#60;a href=&#34;http://media.toyota.ca/pr/tci/en/lexus/2010-HS250-release.aspx?link_page_rss=81267&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://media.toyota.ca/pr/tci/en/lexus/2010-HS250-release.aspx?link_page_rss=81267&#60;/a&#62;) Well, the super-duper Ultra-Premium Lexus HS 250H I was shown didn’t have a front camera and I was told it wasn’t available.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And even in the city where the official Canadian HS 250H launch took place, the September 17th Winnipeg Sun apparently was also a bit confused given they had to print a retraction saying; “The 2010 Lexus Canadian HS 250h does not feature a wide-view front monitor and lane-keep assist. Incorrect information appeared in a story in yesterday&#38;#39;s paper.” (&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.winnipegsun.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.winnipegsun.com/&#60;/a&#62; news/canada/2009/09/17/10948136-sun.html) So what gives? Does Toyota Canada know what they are selling? Do they communicate with the public media? Is it any wonder that people like me who have been waiting with baited breath for several months for their car to arrive feel they have been oversold, led astray, and/or under informed?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So here it is at 3 AM and I can’t sleep and I’m writing this trying to get my head around my disappointment because I have to make a decision. Do I buy what I can only consider to be a ‘husk’ of a car relative to what is available outside of Canada, a car that perhaps I should still consider because, (1) it is probably well made based on JD Powers info on Lexus in general, (2) has a neat mouse-like interface, (3) still has at least a few really neat high tech features not removed, and (4) uses only 5.7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres? Or do I buy what is arguably a better driving car like the BMW, or what some might consider a better looking car like the Infiniti?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But wait! My dissatisfaction has been communicated and has resulted in at least an attempted explanation by someone who should have the answer. I’m told that all of the technology that has been removed from the Canadian version of the super-duper Ultra-Premium HS 250H is on a common wiring harness and that at least one of the several systems removed relies on the availability of the Lexus ‘Enform’ type communications system, and that because Toyota Canada has not found it economically viable, or not had the time just yet to develop such a system, or buy the technology from the Americans, or perhaps piggyback on the US system, everything on the associated wiring harness had to be removed. OK. The explanation seems reasonable. Lexus Canada has not yet developed facilities comparable to the US Lexus ‘Enform’ operation or even the “OnStar” system used by GMC and others since 1976, so many of the HS 250H features need to be removed. Leaving them on the car in anticipation of Toyota Canada eventually within the life of the car implementing an ‘Enform’ type of system was apparently not an option. Just maybe the number of Lexus cars sold in Canada does not warrant the investment in the computer systems necessary to support the technology inherent with an unadulterated HS 250H. Relative to the USA we are a small country and even with the many advantages we enjoy as Canadians, perhaps our relatively small numbers can work to our disadvantage sometimes. So I have my explanation – or at least one I can sort of push myself to accept and now I should be able to just enjoy the car, albeit without some of the significant safety and convenience features I had really looked forward to. Well – yes and no. There is still a small problem, at least insofar as I am concerned. It has to do with ‘getting what is paid for’.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If I spec out the most expensive HS 250H possible in the USA the total comes to $46,575 US, or $50,313 Canadian. I paid $51,689 Canadian, excluding GST. I‘m OK with it costing somewhat more than the same car sold south of the border. We have higher taxes occasionally, perhaps higher wages in some instances and we operate with smaller orders, and cars like everything else, are cheaper by the gross than by the dozen. Aren’t they?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;However, the US Lexus site lists the technology package and park assist at $4,400 US or $4,753 Canadian. Given the package is not available on the Canadian car, it seems reasonable, at least to me, to reduce the price accordingly. Instead, I paid what the Americans pay for their fully configured car, plus an additional $1,376. Or to put it another way, a comparable car costs $6,129 more in Canada than in the USA. Seems just a bit on the heavy side doesn’t it?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Well, time to conclude. I’m a bit of a computer geek. I like the mouse-like interface. I figure if I buy a non-hybrid, gas will probably jump to $3.50/litre this time next month. So I decided to do the Canadian thing. I bought the car. However, although I’m retired and past it in a lot of ways, I don’t feel the kick of satisfaction I really expected, knowing I had opted for a high technology car, because relative to what is available elsewhere, in many respects it isn’t really very high tech at all. So I’m not parting with my money willingly for the car I thought I was going to get. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Instead, I have accepted what seems to be the Canadian experience of not quite getting what is wanted, what is expected, and what is felt is deserved for hard earned dollars. Why do I keep bringing up the Canadian bit? What choice do I have? And the ‘Powers That Be’ know it. For me it is goodbye to the WOW factor and hello to ambivalence. And as a Canadian, I don’t like that one bit!
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I recently posted an article on driving safely during the Fall, due to the amount of &#60;a href=&#34;http://the-grayline.com/2009/10/14/fall-driving-watch-for-deer/&#34;&#62;deer on our highways.  One option on the market is a Deer Whistle, but does it really work?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.ibmwr.org/otech/deerw.html&#34;&#62;According to IBMWR No&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;According to &#60;a href=&#34;http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060928210606AAMEB53&#34;&#62;Yahoo Answers&#60;/a&#62; Deer Whistles do not work.  And finally, even a bioaccoustics professional states that &#60;a href=&#34;http://advance.uconn.edu/2002/021118/02111812.htm&#34;&#62;deer cannot hear the high pitched noise&#60;/a&#62; produced by deer whistle product.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Now with the development of automobile charges a technology, the characteristics of car failures also will be changed. It is far from the demand of test the cause of failures exactly which is only based on a simple fault code to analyse car failures. Sometimes even leads to wrong judgement and replace the wrong parts that results unnecessary economic losses.When severely leading to repeated rework, which causes a loss to the enterprise reputation. Here's some examples of common failuresâ€™ judge myths. Please all fraternities pay attention.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Failure phenomenon: engine failure light on after cool engine driving up 30~35km, speed up weaknessly, unstable idle speed and stalling sometimes. After hot car starting drive up 15~20km with opening heater, the engine fault light on. If transfer air vent to the bottom, after hot car starts driving up 35~40km with opening the air-condition(A/C), the engine failure light on.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Repair Record: After the engine failure light on for the first time, being sent to factory for repair. Maintenance technicians test it with engine tester as follows: â€œBad for distributor change internal signal to embolic signal.â€ According to maintenance manuals for fault analysis requires, technicians conducted a line inspection with good results; Checking the JDX and the output signal of distributor are also no problem. Later, suspected the heated distributor performance is unstabe. Then technicians replaced the distributor assy. Test the cars after clearing fault codes, when cars drive to 40km, failure phenomenon appears again. At this point, the technicians began to suspect that the ECM is faulty. The reason is the air condition cooled down the engine computer(the computer is located in the middle of the floor). Then replaced a computer and made driving tests, but failure emerged once again when reached 30km. By this, technicians began to doubt their technical capacity and request technical staff to help.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;After technical staffs research the cars with technicians, all agreed the failure for three reasons: first is distributor poor; second is a computer bad and the third is bad line. The first two techniques have been completed, the third should be replaced by the engine wiring harness. Technical staff guide technicians remove the engine wiring harness and exam paragraph by paragraph, found no damage and the joints is good, non-corrosion and loose. The plug connectors are in place and well-connected. In order to accurately determine whetheris a wiring harness problem, replaced the wiring harness for a new trial, but still be trouble. Helpless, technical staff will report the failure. Hondaâ€™s professional technicians drive thousands of miles for testing and verification. Finally concluded that mechanical parts of engine is failure, which results in poor signal of distributor. On examination, after mechanical support and correct breco, deciding to make a concludion of replaced engine.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Troubleshooting: After strict examination and replacing a new generator, the failure eliminated.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Misunderstanding analysis:&#60;br /&#62;
1, It can not only based on fault codes to analyse the failure cause of distributorâ€™s poor signal, we should adopt waveform analysis to find out the true signal waveform( Preferably adopt from the computer input terminals department) and the waveform changes when the failure occurred.&#60;br /&#62;
2, We often consider poor signal is just sensor signalsâ€™ good or bad, but always neglected some interference signals with synchronization signals. Such as high-voltage ignition failure and generator failure.&#60;br /&#62;
3, Computer fault is miscarriage of justice for varies with temperatureblowing straight through the air after cooling, this vehicle mileage extended faults.&#60;br /&#62;
4, Timing breco failure can result in ASYNC signal, but not appear time to change failure along with computerâ€™s temperature.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Failure Analysis:&#60;br /&#62;
The technician checked the charge voltage after this vehicle is failure. When idling, the voltage is 12.8~13.2V. When voltage is 13.2~13.8V, rotating speed is 1500r/min. They are all in standard range. But does not test the full-load generators. That is open all using electrical appliances in the vehicle, such as headlights, small lights, defroster, air condition and blower and so on. Because a group of generator-rectifier diode is damaged and the output waveform generator changes have taken place in discrimination, which resulting in severe peak voltage and current ripple. So that the both ends of battery voltage is generated pulse interference, the computer ground (batter negative) is also generated pulse interference. When the interference pulse amplitude is greater than Â± 0.7V, the computer mistakenly believe that distributor signal is lost. Lit trouble light, memory fault code, enter the backup process, thus causing the engine to accelerate bad and idle instable failures. &#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I am shopping for a Boxster but with the chap 11 I'm tempted to go into the Chrysler dealer and make a ridiculous lowball offer. I'm talking like 50% off the MSRP of a 2009 (not the 2010). Think it could work?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;There is a limited edition Boxster that has a red interior. It was made a few years ago. Does anyone have pics? Or better yet know where I can buy one? I've look at hundreds of Boxsters online the last few weeks and haven't seen a single one for sale.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I am a reporter with the Detroit Free Press looking for people with very good credit, who have recently been rejected for reasons that seem unreasonable. I'm hearing from industry execs and dealers that banks haven't eased at all. In fact it may be getting worse. I'm looking for people whose experience supports that notion.
