So my wife was going to use my 2011 Kia Optima (bought new in 2011) and when she tried the key in the ignition she said the horn and alarm went crazy and the car wouldn’t turn on. She called me and I heard it going crazy. I come back from out of town and I start to look at the car. I was...

I've started to hear a high-pitched whistle at between 2k-3k RPMs or so on my 2012 Optima Hybrid. Been trying to troubleshoot before I head to the dealer. 1) Tone is generally the same pitch, does tail off a bit when it decides to go away 2) Unaffected by AC being on/off 3) Seems to occur...

I was cleaning out my Catch Can today and was thinking. With a clean can, would it make sense to put some Seafoam or Techron Cleaner in the bottom. Then as the engine heats up and the hot gases enter the can, wouldn't it vaporize the Seafoam which would then pass into the intake manifold and...

So... Big debate and many things to learn. I want to thank MCM for actually making me think about it. So I have a KOH. Bought it for awesome mileage while still having a sexy looking car. I know its not a race car because of the hybrid powertrain, but my idea is this. Is it possible to...

So lately I've been thinking of downsizing in the car department. We will be moving hopefully sooner than later, and once we leave DC, the reason for having a hybrid (the traffic around here) goes away. I have been really thinking about a certified used Fiat 500. Its a nice, small, 40mpg car...
