All brake rotors rust. It's not possible to coat the actual surface of the disc (where the pad makes contact) because that's where the friction is... if you were able to somehow coat it with something then the pad's friction would be compromised. The surface rust that you see on the rotor...

Hey all, Hope it's ok for me to post this on here. I've been waiting and waiting for a 2015 Spark EV with the dark pewter interior only to find out it's delayed availability so last weekend I relented and got myself a Prius C to get around until I get the Spark. I figured I need a spare ICE...

Just a thought here - I'm sure the engineers at Chevy put a lot of thought into designing the stock wheels. Maybe part of it is cost, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, traction, range. It's certainly possible in some situations to yield some gains by replacing the wheels/tires. Say if you had a...

I make the trip a couple times a month and I've considered the Surfliner. Only problem with that is there's no connections on the LA side, and my destination is actually in the Inland Empire nowhere close to any decent public transport. The trip takes about 6 hrs total according to google maps...

That's the dilemma I'm facing... there isn't any real data on whether the 2015 will offer any improvements. Also I think the EPA range is based on 55mph "freeway" which doesn't translate to the real world 80+mph freeway speeds. Just a guess, but I get the feeling that the GM engineers figured...

Hoping someone who knows the math can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting a Spark EV but I occasionally have to drive from SD to LA (100 miles each way) all freeway, with a quick charge before I head back. Should I get a 2014 now or wait for the 2015? Which one would be better for an...

Hey all, Been considering a Spark EV for a while but I'm not sure about whether I'll actually like it enough to keep it for the whole 36 months. Range and charging times are a concern also. I'm wondering if anyone has ever come across a short-term lease for one? Maybe like a 12-month lease or...
