The issue with octane boosters is that they don't really do much and - aside from Torco - there is almost no way to "boost" your gas from 87 to 91. The numbers touted on the bottles "raise your octane by 8 points" really means that it raises your octane by .8 This means that if you use a bottle...

I read the original article in Gizmondo that had the LC front and center.

And from the article, it becomes clear that the vehicles with those encryption systems aren't sold in North America. And does the LC in the picture actually have the fob-less entry?

Use new fluid

What's this "barlywine"? Y'all sure you don't mean "Brandywine" - which is an actual LC color? That said, maybe the OP should change cars to get a color that he can remember - "white" - even if it makes little fiscal sense.

Correct. Semi funny (or sad) story. I had pre paid maintenance (for ALL factory required services up to 60k miles) on my Acura. At 28k (roughly), the dealer said "there is a required tranny flush with this service". The car was an Acura that actually popped up the required services on the dash...

All of the "recommended services" offered by the dealer are absolutely required to make their boat payment and completely unnecessary. If any of those "cleaning" things actually worked, then they would be listed in your owner's manual. That said, brake fluid needs to be replaced every two to...

If there is no physical damage inside (i.e. no broken bits) in the interior, then I'd enlist the help of an audio installer to put everything back together - and put your CarPlay device back in. I wonder how they knew you had that.

Neither did anybody else apparently. I am a great fan of wagons of all sorts, but after having owned two new Jags I decided I'm not a glutton for punishment anymore.

One problem in the US is the negative connotations of public transport - that ridiculous belief that public transport brings higher crime to the 'burbs. This makes perfect sense because the bad guys always break into your house and drag your flat screen away on the bus or subway. Outside of...

Sometimes you have to add oil every day in a RR/LR/Jag/anything English or Italian

With the LC you can get there and back. With the LR you can get partway there - albeit in slightly greater comfort. When I was in the UK the running joke was "how do you know that your Range Rover is on fire?" "All your gauges start working" and "why do Brits drink warm beer?" "they have Lucas...

If you do get new tires in the deal, make sure that they are highly rated and not the cheap Chinese crap like Linglong or similar.

Thanks. That's what I thought.
