I've got a question for you. My 2000 Honda Odyssey keeps draining the battery. I was in Michigan for work, the radio started doing strange things, and I open the hood and saw a mound of blue powder on the positive terminal. Cleaned it off and everything was okay. About 6 months later, the battery was drained. The Autozone guy said the battery has a bad cell. So I bought a new one. 14 months later, same thing again, blue powder, cleaned it off. Couple months later, drained again, cable in bad shape. The positive terminal on an Odyssey has 3 cables attached. I replaced the cables last week because they were so corroded. Will that solve the problem?

my dad currently owns a 2008 tahoe which is great but its 2wd and we need to use for a bit of off roading on sand to get to fishing spots, and its an ls with some lt/ltz parts but id rather have one with all the options from the factory and a 2010-2014 escalade seems good its nice got a nice voice and enough power to get through, and the fuel economy is fine and its got space so its pretty good, but is there anything that i should look out for? and are there any common problems in em that would make ya wanna change your mind if you wanted to get one?

Scotty, my '94 manual Sentra drove like a dream until I took it to a new garage for inspection. The car passed, but as I drove away, the Engine light came on for the first time in the car's history and when I pressed the gas, it was as if something hadn't been re-connected after the inspection. It would make noise as I pressed the gas, but wouldn't go over 30mph. What on earth did they do to my car!

When I went to buy a new F-250 they didn't have much of a selection! But they had plenty of f150s and I asked why and was told under government regulations they had to sell 10 F-150 s for every f250 they sell so I ordered my truck and got what I wanted! Also as far as classic and collector cars I read there will never be a Honda or Toyota in this category!

I hear you about collector edition model cars, etc. I collect model cars and I do so at my leisure. I really don't care about mint in box or anything like that. I purchase cars for their emotional connection. They will all be displayed someday. I don't stress out about any of the cars. If the price is too high, I walk.

Last year I bought a 2016 Honda Accord Ex certified pre-owned with about 40, 000 miles and today I found a certified pre-owned 2015 Tlx acura for just about the same price I payed for my accord last year with about the same amount of miles, should I make the switch considering deprecation and taxes?

My girlfriend has an 99 Acura RL has 300, 000 miles! Head gaskets are good. Just need to take the intake manifold off to clean the EGR clog. Yes, it s much more expensive than a Toyota/Lexus, but worth the effort. BTW: Replace ALL the rear suspension parts and the steering bushings. Rubber is rubber!
