My husband is into cars. Nice cars, fast cars, new cars… He talks about drifting and racing but also just the cars that we pass by on the street. Their stats and price and whatever else.

I’d like to be able to impress him with some additional info, mostly on the nice cars we may be passing by on the road.

What are good webistes or forums to keep me up to date with new, nice cars so I can add to the conversation?

Eric B asked:


I bought a car from a lady I work with (it’s a 1999 Chevy Lumina), and I bought a carfax report after I bought it for fun to just see it’s history, and it turns out it was a rental car in Greensboro, NC for a year. Now, I will say this car is an excellent car, with no problems whatsoever, and it never has anything major (just the usual things car have like batteries or tires). In my opinion it is as dependable as a new car, and one of the best cars I’ve owned. For fun, (I’m really into the history of my cars), is there any possible way to see the history of my car when it was a rental? All I know was that it was in Greensboro, NC, but I dont know which company owned it. It says it was a major company is all….. Is there some type of way I can see it’s history? The carfax report doesn’t help me, because I want to know about it WHEN it was a rental.

Thanks!

KenlKoff asked:


I have a ‘65 Mustang (for over 15 years) that is driven occassionally when necessary. When it comes time for yearly inspection I get a free ride from the emmisions test that most other cars are subjected to. Can a catalytic converter be installed or is there something about it that affects the overall operability of older car engines.
