    Radio doesn't work?

    Sounds like buying a new radio would be your best option. When it comes to accessories like that, I've found replacements are the best way to go.

    Feels Like Broken Shock

    I would, at the very least, replace 1 whole set. Kind of like how you don't want to change just one tire. Either both front or both back at the same time.

    What do you have in your basic toolkit?

    My toolkit is in my trunk. Jacks, spare, jumper cables, ratchet set, screwdrivers, etc... I live in a small country town with no services, so car maintenance is priority #1.

    Window stickers

    I wouldn't go so far as to call it vandalism, but it is very annoying. I even think bumper stickers are now kind of juvenile.

    How not to ride a motorcyle

    That's just the problem,he wasn't. He was doing kind of what we used to do on bicycles when we were kids, the whole, "look ma, no hands!!" thing.

    Painting

    How difficult would it be to paint your own car. I know there's special equipment you have to buy, and have a well ventilated space, but really, how hard could it be?

    Who works on your vehicle?

    All the basics I can take care of myself, if it's something specialized, someone in this small, country town can do it for me at a much lower price than an ASE man.

    bumper stickers

    Two of my favorites so far: "Be nice to America, or we'll bring Democracy to your country", "If money is the root of all evil, why do churches beg for it?"

    Dodge Serpentine Belt

    I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with a recurring problem. Whenever it rains and there's standing water on the roads, my serpentine belt slips off. I can put it back on just fine, but is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? I'm getting kind of tired of re-stringing my belt back...

    Do you like old or new cars?

    Older cars, without question. They are sturdier, easier to work on and last longer. I don't care too much about the looks, as long as it runs good.

    Speed Or Looks

    The speed indicates engine performance. What's under the hood will always take priority with me over what the car looks like. I'd rather work good than look pretty.

    How long.

    Yeah,it's kind of hard to keep a car up when you buy it after that many miles. You don't know the exact maintenance history on it.

    How long.

    What is the longest time that you, or someone you directly knew, has kept their car and kept it in good running condition? I've had mine for 12 years now and it has 239,000 miles on it.

    Ever use Oil Additives?

    I never saw the need for it if you change your oil out when you're supposed to. Then again, I never had a high performance type car.

    GM's latest money-making plan

    Sounds like a good deal if you've got the money. It's actually a good idea, because the consumer know more than anyone exactly what they want.

    Registration

    It's a big annoyance, I agree, but I just chalk it up to the cost of living. The bad part is, I don't even know WHY it costs so much.

    Cigarette Smell

    Tell her to quit smoking so the smell goes away. LOL. Seriously, a good shampoo, vacuum, and a healthy dose of baking soda should do the trick.

    Low Power

    If it only does this at certain speeds, then you'll want to look at your transmission also. Flush it and change out the fluids. How many miles are on the tranny alone? Is it the original?

    What would be your next car?

    Another Oldsmobile, pre 1998. Preferably a Delta 88. The engines in those last forever. I've had the one I have now for 10 years with no major problems.

    Rear view mirror

    I have a '96 Olds Delta 88 with the rear view mirror on the drivers side broken off where it connects to the body. I've tried several different glues with no luck. Any suggestions?
