I think that is so great! You should teach them. My dad taught me how to change tires on my car, but if I ever had to actually do it on my own, I'm still not sure if I would be able to do it. I learn things by lots of practice. So to see it done once or to help do it once, won't help me to...

My husband got rid of his truck a few years back because he couldn't afford the cost of gas each week. I can't imagine how people can afford to pay for big cars today, especially in this economy with so many lost jobs and gas prices higher than ever.

I don't crate my pets in the car (unless I'm traveling with anything that isn't a dog) because I find that it stresses the dogs out even more to be in a crate in a car. I like to use a seat belt for dogs to keep them safe in the car. I think that makes them feel a lot better and it is safe for...

Yes I find it so annoying! There have been a few times where I nearly side-swiped a person because they were in my blind spot even though I was looking to make sure no one was there. I think a lot of times it is people just being jerks and not wanting you to get in front of them so they speed...

I would not take it to a mechanic! They will over charge you on that. It does sound like a loose wire or something. I would take it to a place that sells car radios (like Best Buy) because they often will have an area behind the store where they help customers install new radios and they won't...

Ha! Yea that was a huge mistake!! I have a Civic and I love it. I get great gas milage, it looks smart, drives easy, and even though it isn't a huge car it still is very roomy inside with a decent sized trunk.

I agree with flatbed. It will not cost anyone their jobs, but help police focus on other criminals that tend to get past the system because there are not enough cops to do the job. I think this is a great idea! We need to find ways to keep people off the road if they have been drinking. If...

Yep .... there is another Toyota recall involving those floor mats and stuck gas pedals. I will never buy another Toyota; seriously this should not even be a problem in the year 2011. Cars have been made for so many years now and this seems to be an "amateur" kind of mistake to have this...

My husband changes the oil in the all the cars as well as the filters. I love that he knows how to do that. It saves so much money and it is a big relief because I don't trust most mechanics. We hire a mobile mechanic that we like a lot to change the breaks and do other stuff that is too hard...

Ha! I would never trust a car made by Toyota to park itself. They can't even make the floor mats correctly so that they don't make the gas pedal stuck. If they can't do that right, then no way would I want one of their cars parking itself; that is disaster just waiting to happen. Can you imagine...

Does anyone know how often one should change the power steering wheel fluids and brake fluids? Every time I have gone to get my oil changed by the dealership they want me to change it all and make it seem like I am a bad car owner if I don't. I feel like they are just trying to get the most...

Just don't do what my husband did once, he used the windshield wiping sponge at the gas station and wiped the dust off with all that dirty water! It was so gross! I was so mad at him for that (good thing it wasn't my car). Sometimes men just don't think when they "clean."

I find it odd how gas prices can sky rocket in a city like San Diego (where we are close to the ocean and can get shipments of oil easily here), and then you drive inland to Big Bear Mountain (where it is hard to get trucks up those steep winding one lane roads) and the price of gas is cheaper...

I agree! There are too many people on the road still texting and talking on their phones while driving. If you have to talk while you drive, then put the phone down and hit the speaker button so that both hands are on the wheel. I can't tell you how many times someone did not see me crossing a...

No, I would not detail a car before selling it. Unless you own a shop and can do it yourself, I just don't think it is worth the cost. If someone is buying a used car, they know the paint job isn't going to look like new.

I would take that 5 hour energy drink. I took that once when I had to drive home from Disneyland and it kept me awake the whole drive home! :)

I try to keep up with the maintenance of my car. Although I know there are some things I really need to get done that I haven't, like changing the steering fluid and all of the other fluids that typically don't get changed with an oil change. I really need to get all of that done. It is well...

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that the car companies cannot think of any original designs for cars (unless you are the super super rich). I loved how the cars looked in the 50s. It just seemed like a lot more quality work was put into the shape of cars that the average person could...

I agree! The colors we have are so boring. Even the classic 50s cars had more variety than we do now. When I see a car that is not a regular old boring color, I can't help but stop and stare at it as it drives down the street.

Since I am a woman, no I would never pick up a hitchhiker. It is just too dangerous. People are crazy nowadays. However, the only person I would pick up would be a very young teenager who is a girl. I wouldn't want a young girl to be picked up by a weirdo and I don't think someone that young...
