VooDoo aside....the correct answer to most automobile oil questions is usually "Mobil 1".

Automotive lubrication is probably the most overthought and pointlessly-argued subject on the internet.

2010 doesn't have an oil cooler, but I do agree that overheating issues in normal driving are a highly exaggerated problem, if it's a problem at all. If you're going to run the car on a track, the...

I am sympathetic to the aversion to modding, speaking from experience. It's fine if modding your car is a hobby that you enjoy, but if you don't truly enjoy auto mechanics, it's a pretty certain...

Your right to drive an internal combustion engine-powered car?

Junkman rules the world of paint care and correction. You can also look at the video series put out by Adam's Polishes. They show pretty much the same concepts, but with maybe a little less charisma....

The point being that the residual value on my 2011 370Z was $23,000. The residual value on my 2014 is $22,500. The residual value on a 2017 is $15,945. It's a dying car line. They can't afford to...

Likely true. Sports cars are a niche market that is increasingly technology dependent, therefore increasingly expensive. Your choices will be between the $70,000 BMWs and the $30,000 Miatas.

That is readily apparent, if for no other reason it is exactly the same car that it was in 2009. I'm sure that the only reason it's still in the sales brochure is that the assembly line is paid for...
