    Ouch! Arm rest not padded enough for manual car.

    I have a 2011 Jetta 6 speed. When I use my arm rest while shifting my elbow hurts since it presses down on the thinly padded arm rest. Figured out that I need to take it off and add grey foam padding used in bicycle handle bars but flat. Then reattach the vinyl and reinstall it. Any other ideas?

    Delvac1 VS Amsoil Synthetic

    I changed my oil from Amsoil synthetic to DelVac1. Usually, my temperature gauge moves when I get to the expressway about 3 blocks away. (I know this since I want to flip on my cooking oil.) Now, I have DelVac1 5w-40 and my temperature gauge does not move, until double approximately the...

    Cheap Body Side Molding Repair Tool

    My front driver side molding keeps coming off. I guess, I haven't got enough adhesive to hold it good enough. As a temporary fix, I found a black bobby pin holds the molding in place and prevents it from flappy in the wind and coming further off.
