I think a lot of times they have hidden clips that release the dash, but like Hotrod said, you will probably need to check the manual to find out where they are and how to work them.

The most I've gotten is around 350,000. I can't remember for sure which car that was, though, but I know it was one from the 1980s. They just don't make cars like they used to!

According to an article on Fox, the car market is headed quickly toward more electric and less gasoline. Do you think you will be getting an electric vehicle within the next 5-10 years?

It has gone down quite a bit here, too, for which I am grateful. I hate that it will probably not get back down to a reasonable number (like $1.50 or less!) ever again.

I wouldn't worry about the year, either! Sounds like a great deal. Do check the Blue Book, and make sure you check stuff that degrades over time. I bought a van that was well kept, but even well kept vehicles have rubber things and hoses and tires that may need to be replaces.

It varies. If I'm driving on a highway, for instance, without cruise control, I am likely to look at my speedometer and realize I'm going 45mph. Basically, I'm one of those people you hate to drive behind, generally.

Lambo, maybe you should get it uninstalled, if possible. I have a lot of friends who call me when they're out and around; they figure I can help them as much as "onstar" could.

Well, I suppose you could sit in the car and turn it off and on until you get to 50 starts. It might be a little tedious, but if it works, it might be worth the time.

Wow! That's really awesome! I'm surprised they let him drive without a license, though, even if he is the son of someone famous. I guess they could because it was a closed track?

I would guess that they keep them small so that it would take less power to move the vehicle. If they were too large, the battery power needed to get it moving might be more than the car could hold.

I've never smoked, either. I couldn't if I wanted to, as I am allergic to tobacco smoke. Nevertheless, if I did, this would certainly make me think twice about continuing!

What a pain! You know, in today's information era, it sure seems like there should be less paperwork and more stuff handled electronically.

Yeah, while it sort of makes sense, as far as the safety of the children is concerned, I think it's overkill. As long as a teacher or guardian can see that the child's parents are there to pick up the child, the kid should be able to go get in the car.

I just read this article about OnStar. If you have it, be sure to read through the terms and conditions carefully, because apparently they have you *agree* that they are allowed to essentially spy on you.

Most of the time, it seems the basic colors are black, navy, white, silver, and red. Some also offer maroon, brown, and green, but they seem to be fewer, in my experience.

Squealing usually means the brake pad is getting thin. I don't know how long they are "supposed" to last, but I do know that how you use them will affect how they wear and how long they last. Mine usually need to be changed right about yearly.

I haven't given my email to any of them. If I did, though, I would give them a "throwaway" email address and not the one I use most often. Why add more spam?

My son played GameCube games in the car when he had a mobile monitor (they are sold for GameCubes; we got ours on eBay). I'm not sure if the TVs that are installed in vehicles have the inputs for gaming systems.

That is very nice! It looks like it may be secured with metal beams rather than wood, which would definitely add to its strength. You wouldn't be able to put a van in there, probably, though.

Additionally, if you can talk to the salesman about purchasing *before* you tell them you have a trade-in, you might be able to get a better dea.
