    What about electric cars?

    I agree that it`s a good idea for a sub forum. I can`t see myself driving one though. Aren`t they small? I wouldn`t want to be stuck in traffic with a dead battery either. And how fast can they go? Interesting topic you`ve got.

    Fear of tunnels

    I have only driven through a tunnel once in my life. It scared the daylights out me. All those lights and cars, I could hardly see anything else. After I got through that tunnel I pulled over shaking like a leaf and told my husband he could drive. I will never do that again.

    Witnessed an accident

    I think it all depends on how good of a driver the elder person is. My mom is 74 and is a great driver. I hope those two people you mentioned are ok. I also think that there should be stricter laws about renewing drivers licenses for people over 65.

    Have your kids ever fought over who sits by a window?

    When I was little my two brothers and my sister and I, used to fight over who got to sit by a window. Kind of hard when there are 4 kids and only two back seat windows lol. I had two boys and they fought over who got to sit in the front with me. Anyone ever been through this or have you done it...

    Friday the 13th

    I am not superstitious at all. Friday the 13th never bothers me. I always say it`s a good luck day. I think it`s so funny how people will find everything that goes wrong on that particular day and blame it on bad luck day.

    Worth it?

    I love having my car detailed professionally when I can afford it. I have done it myself but they do a much better job than me. It`s worth it if you can afford it.

    Lights under the car

    When I first saw a car with those lights underneath it, I was amazed. I really like it. I would love to do that to my car. Does it cost a lot? Anyone here have them ?

    Noisy AC unit

    It sounds like the A\C unit is getting ready to burn out. If you have never had it serviced after all these years you may need a new one. It could be costly too. Anything to do with A/C in a car can be expensive. In my state, Florida, they have strict rules for mechanics working on them.

    bed liner value

    My truck has a bed liner but it comes in different sections. I wanted to buy a new one because mine got ruined on on section. When I looked up the cost I found out that is didn`t come in one piece like I thought. I don`t remember the price sorry. I have never bought a bed liner so I wouldn`t...

    Easy method to clean off bugs

    That sounds like a great idea. I wonder if it would hurt your car though? I hate trying to clean off Love Bugs. I do remember hearing or reading something like what your talking about. I just don`t remember what it was lol. I`m going to google it and see if it really works. Thanks for the tip Pete.

    Bumper stickers: yay or nay?

    I don`t mind having one or two bumper stickers. I do agree that covering your car looks tacky. Like calvin I love to read them while I`m in traffic. I have read some pretty funny ones. Then again I have seen some that are just outright rude.

    Have you never had a brand new car?

    I have never in my life had a brand new car right off the lot. The closest I have come was when I was given my 2005 Ford Ranger by my Uncle in his will when he died. I kept it really nice too. But after my sons and husband and just about everyone else using it, it kind of got used lol. Anyone...

    CD getting stuck

    Personally I would rather have a tape deck. I have had no luck keeping CD players working in a car or in my house. I clean them and they still poop out to quick. I hope you can fix yours or find a good one to replace it.

    Selling my truck to my son. Should I?

    I did check the blue book but I don`t want to sell it to my son for that much. Even though I do have to pay the insurance, he is my son. Thank you for the advice though. He can afford $200 a month. Anything more than that and he wouldn`t be able to afford it plus the insurance. And he needs a...

    Selling my truck to my son. Should I?

    I am considering selling my 2005 Ford Ranger pick-up to my oldest son. He has been using it for almost a year now. I pay the insurance. I am going to ask him for $2000. He has been paying for all the repairs and upkeep. I only want $50 a week because he needs to be able to afford insurance too...

    Helmet law repealed

    I live in Florida and they don`t have to wear helmets here either. I`m not sure about the age though. I do know that when riding bicycles you have to wear a helmet until your 16 years old. You get a ticket and if you don`t pay it, it goes against your drivers license. It happened to my son. I...

    Vacuum Cleaners for Vehicle

    You have the right idea. I love Google. I can find everything there. And in this day and age I`m sure you will find a place to buy that type of vacuum. I would rather use the ones at the car washes because they have a lot of suction power. For the small spaces I like to use my own vacuum with...

    Most embarrassing moment

    Oh my. The first thing that comes to my mind is when I was 17. My boyfriend and I were in the back seat of my car having fun. All of a sudden lights lit up behind us. It was a cop! Now that was embarrassing!:shocked:

    Drive-in movies

    We used to have two drive-ins here, but they both have shut down. When we were teenagers we always went to the one closest to us. We had so much fun. We didn`t behave very well though lol. When my two boys got older I took them there also. They loved it. I wish our city would build another one...

    Female Mechanics

    I have used both men and women mechanics. I also used to work in an auto parts store that had a woman manager. Some women know more than a lot of the men. As long as they are good I don`t care which gender they are.
