    Bikers

    As long as they PASS you, I guess there's nothing to worry about, right? The only group I can recall hearing about that is dangerous is the group "Hell's Angels." As far as I know, we don't have any of them around here.

    Cars and built-in media

    If you thought cell phones and GPSs were distracting, you'll hate what's coming next. Toyota, for one, has cars coming out that will automatically connect to media such as Facebook, Bing, places to buy tickets, and more.

    Tires - good and bad

    I'm glad it drove well, but sometimes stopping is more important than moving. On the other hand, snow and slush MEAN that you have to start stopping sooner; the best tires in the world don't change that fact.

    SUV's are making a comeback!

    Yeah, I'm with DMan. If I had to choose between a minivan and an SUV, I would go with SUV. They are also cooler than minivans, too.

    What Was Your First Car

    I had a 1980 Ford Pinto Pony. It was a five-speed. The exterior was white and I got it for $200, but of course getting it running well took a bit more than that!

    Under Dash Lights

    Some cars have a light up top that can be activated by pressing on it, which would probably take care of that issue. It does seem silly not to have some kind of light available!

    Tinted license plate covers

    I did a little looking and it seems that they are illegal in most states, but some allow them as long as the plate is still visible. Definitely check your state law before purchasing one.

    Reliability of auctions

    I haven't been to one, but I have a brother-in-law who buys cars from them regularly, and usually is able to sell them in a month or two at a nice profit.

    Stupid rear view mirror!

    Good luck, Bentley! Although you won't really need luck. If they can't fix your current one, I'm pretty sure they can replace it without too much problem.

    Seriously serpentine belt?

    Yes, and it probably is nothing you're doing. The most likely problems causing this are: a loose bolt, allowing the belt to become too loose; a leak, causing the belt to get slippery; or a faulty belt.

    Driving music

    I prefer upbeat things, but I don't care much for rock and roll. I usually listen to Southern Gospel or some of the less rocky contemporary Christian music.

    Broken stud

    Yes, I've had that happen before. I don't remember for sure how much it cost to fix it, but I think it was under $100. Generally, if only one is broken, you will be ok for a little while.

    Detailing My Son's MX Bike

    If nothing else, you can probably find it online, but if it's usually a truck product then you can probably find it at truck stops. Sounds like something good to look for!

    Headlights Are So Clean

    I found that cleaning solution by accident when I was looking for something else last week. It really is amazing stuff! Light is so much better when the lenses are clean!

    Keyless ignition

    I like the idea, but at the same time, there are a lot of things about newer cars that I don't care for, and I'm not sure the remote ignition would make up for those.

    friends boat

    Seems like the water would be hard on the paint no matter how water-resistant it is. There are few things that are truly waterproof, with enough exposure to water. And, I have to agree it would be nice to have a big garage like that!

    Replacing a dashboard

    I found a page on how to remove the dashboard. I would expect that putting a new (to the car) one in would be a reverse of that, most likely. Good luck!

    Preventing Damage To My Grille

    You could always park in the back 40 to keep people from parking too close to your truck. Seriously, though, I haven't heard of it but did you check their site to see if they have installation instructions?

    Cold air under steering wheel

    That is odd! I recommend checking out the things Alexus and Lamboguy mentioned first, and if that isn't the case, you might ask a good mechanic.

    Using an Ipod in the car

    If your iPod has a headphone jack, you can get an FM transmitter that will allow you to choose from twenty or so stations to send it to. I picked mine up at Walmart, but I'm not sure they still sell them. If they do, it's in the automotive section where the car radios are.
