    Recalls annoy me

    I can't tell you how annoying it is to see all these recalls on the television. Aren't these cars checked before they leave the plant and delivered to the car dealerships? It's not just with cars it's with almost everything. Not to get off topic but toy and baby item recalls disturb me too! Why...

    After the accident

    I've been rear ended twice and now I hate having people right behind me. One was a hit and run (the person who hit me took off) and the other one I was sitting at a stop sign waiting to turn and the kid behind me hit me. I wonder how some of these people ever got a license to start with.

    Mistaking the gas for the brake

    I really don't know how this is possible, unless you are completely insane, but how does one mistake the gas for the brake? I see news reports where an older person jumps the curb and runs into the side of the building because they did just that. If that were my parent, I would be taking away...

    Driving Barefoot

    I've only ever driven with sneakers on. Driving barefoot just doesn't seem practical to me. Plus your shoes give you some sort of protection if you were to get in an accident.

    Used Cars Owned By Ladies Sell Higher?

    I guess if the lady was a good enough sales person and she could talk you into the price she wants. As far as buying a used car on a lot that was owned by a woman, I don't think it makes any difference.

    Trading In Your Old Car

    I usually trade my old cars in before the miles get too high. Usually it's around 80,000 miles. I never want to hit 100,000 because I hear that's when everything start failing.

    Color of your car and cops

    Is it true that if you have a certain color car cops are more likely to pay attention to you? I've heard this for years and don't know if it's a myth or fact. I've owned several different colors of cars over the years and haven't noticed a difference.

    Are MTV show to risque?

    Beavis & Butthead were mild compared to what MTV has for programming now. I've only seen clips of Skins and it's not something that interests me. Another show that popped into my head as bad is The Real World. All it is watching a bunch of kids in a house having sex and drinking. I don't know...

    Won't stay running

    The first thought in my mind is that it sounds like it's not getting enough fuel. Has it been really cold? How low was the tank before he filled up? He could have gotten moisture in the gas tank if he ran it real low before filling up.

    Portable DVD Players

    Maybe I'll check and see what Sony has. I know they are a pretty good brand. My car unfortunately doesn't have a built in DVD system so I have to go can get a portable one.

    Removing car registration stickers

    Using a small dab of olive oil or baby oil will work too. Don't use a lot though and be sure to clean the windows after getting the stickers off. Also, don't get it on your paint, the baby oil that is, because it will leave a mark.

    Front End Alignments

    I've been told that you should have it done every time you get your tires rotated. I forget how many miles before you rotate your tires. Maybe someone else would have that answer.

    Wiper fluids

    I don't really worry about what kind it is. I just worry about at what temperatures do they work. I don't want to buy one in the winter time that won't work under 20 degrees because sometimes the weather goes below zero.

    Portable DVD Players

    What is the best over the headrest DVD player? I want to get a set of them for when I go on road trips. It will keep the people in the back seat occupied so they won't get bored. I want some that won't skip or freeze when I hit a bump in the road.

    Muffler Cover

    I'm not really sure what it's called but it's the metal cover that fits over the muffler system. Well, I noticed that it was hanging off my car and finally it fell off. Is that something that is important or can I let it slide?

    The world's fastest car

    I don't get why they make cars that go over 75 miles per hour since that's the highest speed limit I've ever seen. It seems like the car makers focus to much on power rather than practicality.

    Car salesmen tricks and secrets

    I remember when I purchased my car the payments they suggested was about $450 and I kept telling them $350. We went back and forth for about 4 hours til they finally stopped at $352. They try to up the price so they can get a bigger commission on the sale. Don't let them push you around. Go in...

    Spring Break

    I would say anywhere warm is pretty good. Disney is probably a good family trip or if you are simply looking for a beach vacation, Virginia Beach or Myrtle Beach is good. I would look into the beach locations today though because the hotels tend to book fast.

    Valentine's Day

    Anyone have any special plans for tomorrow? I'm doing the same thing I do every year....nothing! With all these holiday's coming back to back, I'm getting sick of it all.

    Way to ruin a paintjob, Kid

    Yep if that was my kid I'd be kicking him in the butt. Although, my dad, when he was MUCH younger than he is now, painted his car with a paintbrush! Someone thought is was an abandoned vehicle and decided to paint the windows too!! I guess that will teach him. :happy:
