Just thought I would share this with anyone having this problem. Everytime
this fall when I used the heater, I get this smell like something is
burning. It kinda comes and goes. I openned the hood to check things out and
there were a bunch of half burned maple tree seeds trapped ...

How the hell did they pull that off?  Those came from the factory!

Over the past few weeks I had noticed a rattling sound that seemed to
be coming from the area of the a/c compressor which I thought might be
a bearing getting ready to fail.  It seemed to be most noticeable at
startup.  I couldn't or didn't hear it when I drove the vehicle.  I

I just purchased an '87 Toyota Van that is missing the middle and rear
seats.  This is a cargo van that has holes for seat and seatbelt
hardware.  It also has leaf springs, so the floor is flat where coil
springs would normally be located.  A previous owner pulled the seats

We have a 93 corolla wagon and are looking for a better, and easier jack
to put in the car, than the crummy hard to use one that came with it.
Where can we get something better and easier to use, that won't cost a
lot?

I have a 2001 Corolla LE which has 68K miles on it. I change the engine
oil regularly every 3K miles as recommended. Recently I have noticed
that within 2K miles my engine oil mark comes to the low level on the
dip stick.

My aftermarket rear right alloy wheel is dented on the lip and is
leaking air.  Actually, it's dented in two places - one the visible and
one on the non-visible side (viewing from the street), and both places
are leaking.  This was "fixed" by a metalworking wheel shop last year

My driver's window was a little stiff and then the  mechanism
eventually broken (I had to press down on the window while turning the
handle to open the window after that).  This will result in a fail on
the car's NCT (National Car Test) which I have to take in a few weeks,

I am ordering a new RAV4 now, with full map NAVI,
and I wonder:
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the navi screen for a backup
camera or for a DVD player (only when parked of course),

For my 2004 Celica GT---when should I change the hypoid gear oil?  How
often?  After how many miles?

Just bought a 2003 Matrix - now water is collecting in the rear
passenger side floor pan
Anyone have this experience? - and what was the fix?
Because it was in the rear, I suspected the door gasket, but it

Oddest thing happened to me yesterday: I went to the car, unlocked the
drivers door and the handle snapped in two as I lifted it!  The piece
that came off is about 3/4 of the entire handle.  Has anybody ever had
this happen and is the replacement difficult?

My wife and I need a new car. Requirements: 4wd, ac, 4 person, towing
capacity, preferably manual trans. and reliable. Don't want the fluff.
No leather, roof racks etc. just basic, good design. I've always had
good fortune with Hondas, Subarus and other Japanese vehicles so that's
