People that look into buying a hybrid on the sole notion of saving money at the gas pump have missed the point.
From a Toyota advertisement in American Scientific for their Hybrid technology:

Perhaps that's the origin of the "Mount a microwave magnatron to your bumber" myth for jamming radar.
That would be false, or none of the Radar Detectors with laser sensors would work -- and GoL, Roy, and Speedlabs have all shown they do.
Automative glass is engineered to reduce Infrared and...

YHBT.
I did not start this thread to talk about what's currently available, but what might be nice to see on future units.
The reference to the 20th century was tongue-in-cheek, and my apologies of I...
And while I'm thinking of of features, this one isn't so much a unit feature as it is a manufacturer feature.
I'd like to have the manufacturers publish their tests results so that independents...

Actually, the best thing to do IMHO, is just mount the MFR retail units to the same cars, and make multiple runs with each unit and report the results. Repeat for each gun. (EDIT: basically I'm...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a popular mod was to stuff a Chevy SB 350cid (5.7L) V8 or 262cid (4.3L) V6 into the 944's? The latter being preferred because it kept closer to the...
Do yourself a favor and get a nice big (10-12 inch diameter) orbital polisher.
While I agree with the notion that AT fuild isn't goin to bring back 19MPH, at 60K miles, it's hardly fresh. I believe Mazda recommends that it get changed @ 30K and 90K miles. Perhaps they use a...

While the AL vs. DS threads, with a bowl of popcorn, are pretty good entertainment, they don't venture too far beyond that. However, what they have done is occasionally bring out some nice feature...
I know nothing about China, but in my area we can often visit a local auto-parts shop and get a OBD-II/VAG-COM fault read out on our vehicles for free.
