    Healthy weight

    What diet are you using? I recommend you just change your lifestyle for healthy foods all the time. I find that diets never work because you just gain the weight back.

    What are some common upgrades?

    Do you think changing the cold air intake makes a big difference to you? I've never done it but I have heard good things from some friends of mine who have changed their cold air intakes.

    Hyundai and Kia

    Ford had some big layoffs about a year or so ago I believe. I would never buy a foreign car. I have bought American for the past 30 years now. It is better for our economy if we buy American. To explain it simply, when these foreign cars are made overseas, they are using foreign workers. That...

    What are some common upgrades?

    A muffler upgrade is a key one. That will increase mileage. You could also consider supercharging, though that is going to change the cosmetic appearance a lot.

    Who uses the "plus" level gas?

    Welcome to the site, smartauto. What do you think of the different gas levels? I basically think as long as your engine isn't knocking, it doesn't matter what level you use.

    Best insurance company?

    Progressive appears to be great also in terms of money off. Do any of your insurance companies offer auto buying services too? I love mine.

    Healthy weight

    Yeah, I hear that vroombaby. I used to eat like a pig 10 years ago, because I could handle it. Now for me, I have to watch what I eat or else I will gain weight. I am at a good weight now though and I Think I will be ok.

    Smart cars

    I really think you guys are exaggerating the safety concerns. We have already seen numerous tests done on these cars and they have been proven to be very safe. Is that not enough?

    Sidecars?

    Does anyone actually use these? I've only seen a sidecar once my entire life and it was two guys. I think they may be illegal in some place.

    Neighbors.....

    That's stupid of them. If I were you, and they were nice people, I would have just given them my car for the trip. I lend my neighbors my car a lot since they only have a motorbike as well. THey are kind unlike yours it appears.

    Time to get a new car

    I buy new all the time. After the 100 mark on newer cars (1980+) it's time to get rid of it. Pass it on to a teenager in the family or something for a reduced price.

    I am an idiot

    I have mine linked to my bank, so I actually end up being extra extra careful when my bank balance is at 0/negative. If we get charged for something then, we get hit by a 35 dollar fee at my bank since it's PAYPAL and not a credit card.

    Muffler upgrade

    That's good for you. What make/model is it? I think I am going to do it myself. Does anyone have any muffler install tips?

    Best insurance company?

    In my view, it's USAA. I've had them since 1980, and I've had nothing but great results. They are sending someone to my work, free of charge Monday, just to fix my windshield crack. They also have a car buying program where we get a discounted price on cars. I love them.

    Windshield Cracks

    You really need to address it ASAP. That crack will get bigger, and eventually the whole windshield will crack on you. You should call your insurance. Thanks for the tips by the way. I called USAA earlier and they are sending someone to my work to inject it for me. Great company!

    Muffler upgrade

    Anyone consider a muffler upgrade? I'm thinking of replacing mine to increase MPG... even though gas prices came back down I really don't know what's going to happen if they are going to go up/down again, so I'd like to have a crutch.

    Who uses the "plus" level gas?

    That's really not true. It doesn't do anything to increase performance even if you do it every time. Would it idle smoother? Probably not. Even if it did, that's really negligible for the price.

    Performance and MPG

    Unless you're replacing your engine with a V12, you really don't have to worry about upgrades ruining your MPG that much. You could consider supercharging your car, but it should be accompanied by a muffler upgrade or an air intake upgrade to make up for the lost MPG.

    Don't use the A/C!

    Is it really that much of an effect on your MPG if you turn the AC off/on or use windows instead? I don't think it can be that much... and as for my AC usage, I use mine all the time. From April to November pretty much. I have allergies so opening the window distracts me when I drive.
