I am too afraid to fully test mine out. I know I can get at least 20 miles though in my Ford Focus. I've pushed it too much a couple times but I really try not to.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I am going to have it checked out because I bought it used and have no idea if anybody changed the belt. Probably not because I owned it since it had 50k on it. I've owned a van where the timing belt went out and I was in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. Not...

I think some people get it in their minds that the little things just aren't important and focus on the big picture instead. Of course the outcome isn't good if you don't fix the little things too. They often lead to bigger issues.

I didn't know that drinking coffee was such a huge danger while driving. I wonder how many accidents have been caused by hot coffee? Honestly I don't think anybody is going to do anything about eating and drinking while driving for a few reasons. The fast food industry would suffer so they...

How often do you think the timing belt needs to be replaced? I have a Ford Focus that has over 100k miles on it and I've never replaced the timing belt. It's not giving me any problems but I feel like it should have been changed by now. I'm lagging a bit, I know.

It sounds like somebody is in a pickle! I've heard of people using hair dryers to heat up the pinstripes and then they peel off. You do have to be careful about overheating the paint though.

I have an XM radio too and it's great. It's basically the same as Sirius radio, if you've heard of that. It's a subscription based satellite radio system.

I went with my sister to get a rear window wiper for her Scion and they wanted $100 for it! I thought that price was ridiculous so I told her we should try to go somewhere else tomorrow. Is there a reason those back wipers are so expensive?

I don't know if it's just me but I rarely drive in a car with stick shift. Is it scarier if somebody can't even drive an automatic? I would be scared out of my mind to ride with some of these people in a stick shift.

Apparently keeping your car waxed helps to keep them off but once they are there, that's a different story. I hear they sell special sponges and sprays for cleaning off the bugs.

Wow, I don't think I could handle opera in my car. I listen to music some might say is unconventional - mostly French music. I've had friends bring music I'm just not into so now I have a rule - I'm driving, I choose the music.

Our firework show has free parking but that's because there is ample parking at the marina. Trying to get out of the parking lot is a pain. It seems like once people get in those cars they become rude. All that patriotism goes out the window when somebody squeezes in front of you I guess.

I've heard about this happening and I can see why auto parts would be an easy way to do it. It's a shame though. Hopefully you can get your money back. If you used Paypal you can file a dispute for not getting your item.

I'm mostly into music that would be classified as alternative rock. Anything they play on the Alt Nation station on XM radio pretty much. Pop music is alright but I'm not into hip hop or rap.

There's no 3 day weekend for me but hopefully work lets up here soon. There's just always so much to do and so little time to do it around here. I need a break desperately!

My aunt is the worst driver I know but it's aided by the fact that she is always on too many pain pills. As a kid we were banned from driving with her and now I avoid her altogether (not just because of her driving). She has been in 6 accidents that I can remember. She really should not be...

Sharky, I do that too. When I actually do buy them I forget them somewhere in the house. The other thing is that I forget what battery I need at the store and of course I left the dead remote at the house so I have to guess.

I've seen sidecars on a few motorcycles but not many. I have never been in one and hopefully it stays that way. They are kind of funny looking and I would imagine not very safe.

Do you take your car to garage chains? I find that the repair chains are just so expensive. I also feel like they expect their customers to be clueless and treat them as such. They are conveniently located though.

That sounds scary! I just heard that my friend's mom hit a cow on her way home from work one morning. Her car is trashed now and she has some injuries.
