Archived Autos & Motorsports Reviews

Pros: great looking shiny car!
Cons: Takes awhile!

First, clean the inside of your car, this way you don't track in water and mud from cleaning the outside. Use basic items such a Windex on windows and Armor All on your dashboard and vinyl. Start cleaning from top to bottom. If you have leather...

Pros: Build from ground up, excellent conceptional work
Cons: None so far

Introduction
After much consideration and research in the RV market we finally decided to buy a motorhome that could fit our individual needs. Since we can not afford a motorhome as a third vehicle due to all overhead costs and needed to have...

Pros: Price, usability
Cons: Excessive alarms in construction zones

When my daughter started to go to college about 350 miles from home, I realized that I would be driving a lot of highway miles. Now I don't speed, mind you, but I do press a little. I figured that I would have to pay for several tickets over a four...

Pros: This touch is soft and easy
Cons: Wash it or you'll get the stank

If you are chronically lazy – you are my people. Welcome.

Let me introduce you to The Absorber

The Absorber is a 27” by 17” piece of rubber-like material that will dry your car quickly and easily - without spots....

Pros: Great K Band Detection
Cons: Many False Alarms

I'm not sure of model, but I think it's 1590. I don't have the radar detector with me. Anyway, I bought the Whistler 1590 for $150 a few years ago. The radar detector gives average performance compared to Uniden, BEL, and Cobra. It has GREAT K band...

Pros: Low down torque, mid range wallop and that Sound!
Cons: Huh? Um, well she costs and you don't skip scheduled maintenance if you're smart - and tall people will have a hard time

Brought up on Norton and Triumph twins, I took the inevitable road to the land of the rising Yen when the British bike industry decided to go belly up. There followed a series of Japanese sportbikes which included such classics as the RD 350 LC, Z1, ZXR...

Pros: Very cheap, works very well
Cons: Need to go fast in a rainstorm for full effectiveness

This is a product that the manufacturer should be proud of.

What is it?
Rain-X is what I call a miracle product. By applying it to your windshield (on the outside), it essentially takes the place of wipers. No, it doesn't wipe...

Pros: Easy to apply, works great.
Cons: Doesn't come in a 50 gallon drum

Rain-X is one of those products that I can honestly say saved my life! I'm not joking either. I happened to have a bottle because I had defective windshield wipers. After I had the wipers fixed, I still had the bottle. Thankfully I saved it this one...

Pros: The only detector that tells you where and how many; Very sensitive; Well-designed and easy to use; Actually has resale value
Cons: Expensive; Theft target; High sensitivity means many false alarms

Although I am quite familiar with highway expedience, I never felt the need to have a radar detector in my car. But one fateful day, as it usually goes, I got nabbed by a well-hidden Smoky looking for a quota-satisfying hit. Suddenly, I found myself in...

Pros: craftsmanship, low center of gravity!
Cons: None

I have ridden motorcycles for many years. Mainly off road dirt bikes...starting when my boys were young and wanted to get into "Enduro Racing".

Recently, my husband purchased a Honda Shadow - American Classic Edition. Sad...but this...

Pros: Sleek & stylish, a real crusin' machine, chromed to the max, everything else!
Cons: Couldn't buy one for less than $5000, but who cares

I am the proud owner of a Kawasaki Vulcan 750, 2000. I have saved for a Vulcan motorcycle ever since I fell in love with one a few years ago, that my ex-boyfriend had.

I picked this baby up for $5300 cash and it is the new love of my life, and...

Pros: easy to use, cost effective, easy to move from car to car
Cons: movement of the bikes can result in nicks in your paint

***This epinion pertains to the older RhodeGear trunk-mounted bike racks as shown in the picture. RhodeGear also has a new line of racks that, while essentially the same, have slightly different adjustment controls***

When my wife and I travel...

Pros: detects cops fast and far
Cons: sometimes goes off for no reason where there are no cops around

I purchased this radar because I hate geting a ticked and being pulled over. It is your right to defend yourself and make sure you look like you are obiding the law at all times when scanned for it. You can speed all you want with this and it will detect...

Pros: Good coverage, Low rates, Excellent customer service
Cons: NONE!

I feel that auto insurance is a necessary tool by which we protect our vehicles. Without auto insurance, the most pointless and meaningless incident could end up costing one their entire savings. To buy insurance is the best precaution that a person...

Pros: easy to install
Cons: beeping every time you close your garage... Not doing what its supposed to

After getting over 250$ worth of speed tickets, I decided that this is it. If I can buy a legal machine that will tell me when I have to slow down so that the cop won't catch me driving over the limit, why shouldn't I?

I decided to go...
