    Sleeping while husband is driving

    I try to stay awake when anyone is driving but there are times when I do doze off. When I'm supposed to be staying awake and reading directions is usually when I doze. When he does not need my help is when I'm wide awake!

    All the commercials

    Did you see all the vehicle commercials they had on during the Superbowl last night? My gosh! There were a lot of them. To be honest, I can’t even list one of the cars that I saw – guess they were not that impressive to me. Commercials cost a lot of money during the Superbowl.

    False Odometer Readings in Used Cars?

    Holy cow that is scary! I heard about this before when I was younger (people flipping the odometers so it looked like the vehicles had less miles). You really have to be super careful when purchasing any used vehicle these days!

    Law on seatbelts

    Yeah I wondered the same thing, we have to wear them in our own vehicles but they don't have them or make you wear them in a public bus. I know my kids school buses have seatbelts but the kids are not made to wear them?

    Vintage Cars

    Nope, not very often do I see these older cars. I don't think that people own them or drive them like they used to anymore. I see them in parades in all the local towns but not just out driving.

    Tinted windows

    Do you have dark tinted windows? For the life of me I cannot figure out how some people get away with driving their vehicles. Some of the windows that I see are so dark that you can’t even see inside the car, not even a little bit. Isn’t there some legal darkness you can tint your windows? I...

    Brake pads uneven wearing

    What would cause your brake pads to wear unevenly and so quickly? I swear I am having my pads changed a lot lately and every time they say they are uneven? Is there something seriously wrong with the car for them to be uneven? I don’t notice anything different when stopping the car.

    Test drivers

    Oh my I would love that too! Of course I wouldn't want to go as fast as they go but to be in the race car would be awesome. I don't think my stomach could handle it though! I'd be puking probably!

    In public transport?

    I don't fall asleep easily when I'm on the road (never when I'm driving) and not usually when I'm a rider either. I like to be alert at all times. I don't know why but I have always been this way!

    Miles or Kilometers

    I know all the vehicles I have owned or driven have both mph and km in the speedometer. I laughed when I went to Canada and they had km speed limit signs, I was confused at first. Good thing our vehicles come equipped.

    Automatic car washes

    I didn't know that they damaged the paint on people's cars. I just don't like them because they make me sick. I know most now say they are safe and touchless? So that would mean they would not ruin the paint right?

    Buying a Second Hand Car

    I would probably only buy a used car from a dealership and not from an individual. There are too many people trying to just get rid of their cars and you don't know what is wrong with them. You can always take it somewhere to have a mechanic look at it before you buy it.

    If cars can float on air . . .

    Wouldn't that be so cool! I know I would love a flying car. I also want a programmable car too. I want to put in the destination and close my eyes and be there! Can you imagine the speed we would have if we had flying cars?

    Daytona car racing events

    I have never been to Daytona but I have been to Watkins Glenn. That one was a lot of fun! I love Nascar and so does the family. My son wants to drive a race car. Someday I might get to Daytona.

    Automatic car washes

    There is something about those automatic car washes that makes me sick to my stomach! I don’t know if it is because you are just sitting there and there is all sorts of water spraying all over or what it is, but I don’t like the feeling. My daughter always wants to go through them but I never...

    Gas mileage and how to figure

    Awesome! Thanks a ton ~ I knew it was something simple I just could not remember exactly what it was. Now you would get different mileage for different types of driving too right?

    10% Ethanol??

    What does the “contains 10% ethanol” mean when you get gas these days? I don’t remember seeing it prior and now it’s on almost every single pumping station. Does this mean that the gas we are buying now is less potent (less miles per gallon) than it was prior to these signs being placed up...

    Gas mileage and how to figure

    I’m trying to figure out my gas mileage for each tank of gas that I buy. I have been switching gas stations a lot and I think that some gas is just better than others. I am not 100% sure how to figure this out. I think I need to write down the mileage when I fill up, but then what else?

    Maintenance Required Light

    I think you need to go back and have them reset it. I know I had to have them reset mine a couple of times before. One time it was my gas cap that was making the light come on!

    Ice and snow build up

    I was thinking of going to the car wash. I bet if I sprayed water at that high pressure the build up will come off. Last time I went to a car wash in the winter I ended up soaked though!
