    $1,000 poorer

    Yeah, it always hurts. I wish things would change, but prices just keep going up and up. I just do not see that changing anytime soon.

    Business supporting electric cars

    Part of that is being used to something happening. Many of the older drivers won't want to use the electric, but the young folks, when faced with more and more electric and hybrids will use them more and it will become their norm. It'll take a long time, but that is the future.

    More Recalls

    Once again this week we have heard about more recalls from the major car manufacturers. Does this make you skeptical at all about the safety of your own vehicle?

    OTA - over the air TV

    A lot of people are beginning to return to over the air TV, or antenna TV, and giving up the expensive cable and satellite subscriptions. How about you?

    Gas Prices!!!

    It makes me glad I am not commuting. I really limit my driving these days. Gas here as leveled out a tad. It only went up a penny over the last few days at my favorite station.

    High winds

    Today was super windy here again as well. The wires were moving all over the place, but fortunately, we did not lose cable or power. I must admit I intentionally stayed home today. No need to be driving in winds like this.

    Gas Prices!!!

    The problem is that for decades, whoever was in office has ignored the situation. This is not the problem of one man, but many men over the years. Tough as it may be, the line has to be drawn. Oil is not the way to go.

    Road trips

    At the moment, gas prices are preventing me from even thinking about a road trip. I do like the sound of yours, though. One of my favorite things is just getting in the car and letting it take me who knows where!

    High winds

    It can be challenging. Of course, it can be worse. I remember a section of freeway we used to travel to go to my grandparents' home, and when it was windy, you were turning the wheel left to go right and such. It was dangerous and insanity.

    Gas Prices!!!

    We are up to an average above 4.30 in the region. Two days ago I went out and it was 4.15 at the cheapest of the stations and as high as 4.44. Every day it seems to jump up several cents.

    Door dings

    I know exactly what you mean. I have to admit, though, that I am pretty calm about it these days. Dings are just a part of a car's existence. You just can't keep it from happening.

    Watch out for that tree!

    It is amazing how often things like this happen. Of course, normally it's a blown over tree, but we've had a rash of people ending up in other people's houses via their cars.

    What happened to the rain?

    Is anyone experiencing a rather spring like winter? Last year, we had rain out of the gazoo, but this year, it's been scarce. We're having a string of 70-75 degree days. It is super nice, but I don't know what that will mean for the summer. It's just a good thing we had some stockpiled from...

    Dirty gas pump handle

    I have also heard this and it did not surprise me at all. They should put in wipes, like grocery stores have now for shopping carts.

    Business supporting electric cars

    I love this decision. Look, the truth is a real change is going to take time. We need businesses to step up like this and commit to a greener future.

    Motorcycle Noise Solutions?

    Do you think there is any solution to how loud motorcycles run? We have a neighbor a few houses down and across the street with a bike and as soon as he starts it up, believe me, we hear it no matter where we are inside are closed up house.

    Maintenance Schedule for New Cars

    I actually still have a very old car so the old rules apply to me, but I am just curious. Do you think your inclination to stick with the old is more having been raised that way or real skepticism that not doing so hurts the cars?

    Why is it?

    It's just human nature. People these days are less willing to accept responsibility for their actions. It is really quite sad to see this happen so often.

    Labor charges

    Labor charges need to be regulated. This happens to me all the time. It is a ten minute job and the part is two times less than the outrageous labor charge.

    Age to rent cars

    Have you ever watched Judge Judy? Seeing the under 25 age adults there would answer your question. Now I do not want to generalize. I, myself, was a very responsible and mature driver from the moment I got my license, but a lot of friends were not.
