    Rear shocks questions

    Quick backstory I've been tracking down a noise coming from the passenger side rear of my car for almost since I've had it. It's a weird almost popping, hollowish tapping sound.. (good description huh?) and it happens over bumps & undulations...the quick rapid type... It's worse on cold days...

    Motorweek Upcoming Test of Sonic RS

    They'll air it next week. I've been watching Motorweek for years.. Upcoming/Past Shows | MotorWeek They tested a regular LTZ and liked it a lot, but noticed the high clutch release point (which I hate) and the limited power...quick, but only to a point. Should be interesting.

    The Heart She Holler

    Anyone watching this on Cartoon Network? On Adult Swim OMG it sucks horribly, yet is so cleverly written... We like Patton Oswalt, so we're watching this for him..loyal fans. It's like a twisted Twin Peaks/Nightmarish country bumpkin sitcom... I can't explain it better than that

    Anyone leaking oil?

    I think it's my tranny fluid. There's a small smear on the tranny, and a thin film has been blown back against the rear of the front subframe. Minor, no drips in the driveway. I'm going to take it back next weekend I suppose. Just thought if anyone has a 6 speed, do you see any think film of...

    XM on Mylink

    JDM Sonic's

    Thinking, what if you bought a European or JDM driver's seat (since they're right hand drive) and put it in the passenger side? So both sides would have an armrest... Wonder if their airbag regs are the same? While I was looking, I looked at GM Japan and noticed they have a customization site...

    Blizzard in KCMO 2-21-2013

    I live 23.5 miles from my job...left early...about an hour'ish to get home ...but the scariest drive EVER! Whiteout...you "guess" where the road is. The Sonic got me home without too many problems. Big drifts or ridges are a show stopper, especially from a stop light or turn.. Nice you can turn...
