The default recommendation is every 5,000-6,000 miles, but they say you should do it sooner if you notice any uneven wear. That said, I haven't rotated mine in ages. I probably ought to do that.

I can't really list what I take for snacks, because it varies so widely. It just depends on what I'm in the mood for at the time. I like places like Dollar Tree because I can get a good variety of just a little of this and a little of that.

My son is added to my policy. He is 18. He is currently paying around $75/month for his part of the car insurance bill, which is about $850 a year.

Sorry you're dealing with that. I hope that you can find a way to fix that and save the tires. Do you suppose switching them (left to right and vice versa) would help any?

How much snow did you get? and, November is early? Where I live now we don't usually see snow before January, but where I grew up, it was normal to see snow in early October - sometimes late September!

I only have AM in the van (which I use most often), but the other day I turned it on and there was a decent music station playing. That was very nice to discover!

I haven't done anything yet, but the main thing I want to put into both vehicles is a decent CD player/radio. My big van still only has an AM radio in it!

That's diabolical. Did you ever get caught? Seems like after the first two or three times it happened, they would start trying to find out who was at fault.

Sometimes brand new tires are the best way to go. I have a place I use that does pull-offs and most of the time they are good tires. Even then, sometimes they just are old.

I personally doubt that the octane measurably affects the miles per gallon. I have heard there are adjustments that can be made to increase mpg, but I don't know what they are.

It seems to me that it should be covered under insurance, somehow. Although, that might depend on what sort of policy you hold on the vehicle.

Yes, RacecaR is correct. It involves driving a car (rear-wheel drive) on snow, then yanking the wheel while hitting the gas. This throws the car into a slide which takes it a full circle. It can be done with a front-wheel drive, but you have to go in reverse.

General Motors is recalling some Pontiac G8s due to an airbag issue. If you have one of these, you might want to check to see if yours is part of the recall.

I honestly can not recall once when I did this on purpose. I have, however, done donuts, but that was on snow (never really tried on gravel, though I've heard it can be done).

It seems to me that if people are selling their cars... then an equal amount of people are *buying* cars, else how could they sell them? I think it ends up a wash.

Yeah, Coke is one of the worst liquids in the world to have poured on your car. I hope your touch-up goes smoothly. What color is your car?

That really stinks, FB. I hope they make it right for you, because it's wrong for places like that to get by with charging incorrectly. Good thing you have paperwork to prove your price!

Wow, what a predicament! It is frustrating when you end up hemmed in, in a parking spot. I hope you didn't have to go in and have the guy paged. That's probably what I would have done in a similar situation.

This car lot was nicknamed "Taliban Toyota" by a car lot nearby. They sued for slander and WON! I'm not sure what sort of judges we have running the courts these days.

Wow, maybe you need to find a different route! Do you think your insurance will raise your rates? It isn't like you can control the deer... that should fall under "Acts of God" or something!
