Chattanooga, Tennessee: Ruby Falls, Rock City, & Hickory Pit Bar-B-Que 02 January, 2017We picked this place as our next road trip in a semi-random way.

Fixing a Broken Wheel Stud on a 5th Gen Honda Prelude 02 May, 2015Muscles don’t mesh with nuts and bolts. I had the displeasure of having to replace a front stud on my 5th gen Prelude last weekend. I overtorqued it, and when it came time to take the lug off, it was too tight and snapped right off. Tons of lessons here, but number one is this: use a torque wrench…

Camshaft Position Sensor - Car Won't Start, 2004 Suzuki Forenza 01 March, 2015A while back I was diagnosing an issue on my 2004 Suzuki Forenza and pulled code P0342, part of what was causing my check engine light to turn on.

In fact, if I can figure out how to do something on my own, I’ll take the time to read up on it, get some advice, and then do it myself. The reason? It’s hard to find someone you can trust to work on your car. And friends, I’ve proven myself right. So in all my…
