Was chilling in Coronado on this beautiful day and saw this VW Karmann Ghia for sale on the side of the road. Obviously I had to stop and take a look. I believe it was a 1971 Karmann Ghia...pretty…Continue

At 10:56pm on December 1, 2010, Melissa Curtin said…: I like that car! Minus the pot hole dips...well that was kindof Fun! And you'll always have to b prepared w a blanket ;)

At 12:29pm on December 16, 2010, PJC said…: Yeah, maybe. Sorry, I saw it at Costco and didn't stop to think there might actually be more than one of these types of gizmos.

At 8:18am on December 17, 2010, PJC said…: Going to buy it today. I have a feeling the light has gone on again due to a loose gas cap, which is a pretty cheezy item on the "check engine" list in my opinion. Wonder how many visits to the dealer that has generated during which the dealer just happened to find something else wrong with the car...

At 11:01am on December 31, 2010, PJC said…: Well, turns out it WAS the gas cap, which I found out AFTER I bought the dohicky at Costco. Now I need to figure out how bad I need the $80 and decide if I want to take it back for a refund - still in original package, but like usual, I can't find the receipt.

At 11:49am on December 31, 2010, Steve said…: Might still be useful gearhead gadget.

So it gave you the gascap as a possible code? Or something indecipherable?

But Costco will take it back without receipt....they have a record of when you bought it on your costco membership. Worst case they give you store credit...and there is ALWAYS something you can buy at Costco!

At 8:19am on January 3, 2011, PJC said…: Well, that's good news, cause I need the refund. As for what it told me - I never used it. I just filled up my wife's car and made sure I screwed the cap on tightly and, lo and behold, the light went off. yeesh.

At 9:41pm on April 26, 2011, Ed said…: I tried and the email was returned as undelivered. My baby is black/tan 1989 328gts; my dream car since I was a boy. Got her two years ago, just 30k mikes. Already put over 7k on her! She loves to be driven.

The Top 10 Most-Stolen Cars

Curious which cars are among the most stolen out there? It might just change your purchasing behavior, or at least get you to buy full coverage insurance!!

The first time since 2002 SIX of the top ten most stolen vehicles were domestic brands. Yikes, not good! Ford was the winner at taking three top spots, then Dodge then Chevy.

But for those of you who are 100% American made fans, don't worry - the top spot is still foreign...and that is the 1994 Honda…

How to Pass the California Emissions Test

So you are just about ready to go get your California Emissions test done? If you are nervous, don't be...in the unlikely event that you don't pass the test, most of the time any problems can be fixed.

Keep in mind that it isn't just the emissions that your car will be graded on. There is Emissions inspection, Visual inspection and Functional inspection.

I will give just a few bullet points on what each test consists of, as well as some simple yet…

Thai Tuk Tuk Ride! Just an average ride

So, I just got back from Thailand (went many places around there) - and Bangkok is one CRAZY city. Tuk Tuk's are one of the main forms of transportation for tourists. These guys are CRAZY drivers. In fact, most of Bangkok is filled with crazy drivers. Lots of motorbikes (whereas we call them mopeds) that weave in and out. The Tuk Tuk ride was so crazy that I took film and some pictures of the rides.

If you are traveling to Bangkok - every Tuk Tuk driver will…

Mercedes of San Diego - My New C300!

I was inspired to write a review about Mckenna BMW after helping a friend aquire a new BMW...and now, it was my turn for a new ride!

I can't say enough great things about Mercedes Benz of San Diego. First of all, I have had a Mercedes before and loved the brand. I find them sleek, 'regal' and incredibly well built. I had driven a used 2008 model and wasn't that impressed though. Then, I drove the 2011 and was SOLD.

I was helped out by Kambiz…
