    Orange county mechanics

    Hey there. I am going to be leaving to stay a few weeks with a friend in Orange County California. I will be driving out there and my car already needs work. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic there? I might need to get it worked on while I am there. Thanks.

    MOT Testing Centres Ripoff

    I am not from the UK but the way I understand it is that it is similar to emissions testing only far more in depth. It is required to have your car checked ever so often and they check everything from breaks and lights to steering and exhaust.

    Hay ride

    It is still a little early for us to take hay rides. I am looking forward to it but we will not start to do it until it is a little bit closer to Halloween. We hay ride when picking pumpkins.

    Chevy 1500 half ton pickup

    My first question is what type of noise is it? The second question is how often is it making the noise? Third question is how long has it been making the noise for?

    Incessant Squeeking!

    Sway bar Well if it sounds like the wheel then you may have an issue with the suspension being to tight. You might also want to take it to a mechanic and ask them to check the sway bar.

    When criminals do dumb things

    Wow, that guy has bad timing. I am gonna hope that this man takes this as one huge lesson from the world. You get what you give, his poor family must be horrified.

    Saab goes electric

    Oh very nice. I did not see anywhere in that article what the price was... I could have missed it. Does anyone know what the price tag on the electric Saab will be.

    Canoe racks, where are they?

    I am looking for the very simple canoe racks. I used to have a set. They were basically two metal bars with foam protectorate and you could clamp them to the car. Has anyone seen these around?

    Even Fans Affect Performance...

    Hi performance fan If you want to see even better performance out of your car you can always pick up a high performance fan. There are quite a few on sale right now. You can get them from $40 to -$300 dollars depending on how much improvement you need.

    Automotive X Prize Winner Gets 102.5 MPG

    Haha, I do not think we will have cars that look quite like that. It should do a world tour though driving everywhere. It really would bring a great deal of awareness!

    Seat belt repair

    Wow, I wish I had known that years ago. I payed a guy an arm and a leg to fix a seat belt in a Honda that I used to own. Too late to get my money back now!

    Snow driving

    How many people here mentally prepare themselves for winter time. I always try to remember that when the snows hit it is time to slow down. I know some who get in accidents because they do not think about the change until it is too late.

    Electric cars make a comeback

    I would buy an electric car if it could go about 150 miles on a trip. I will be looking forward to seeing how much one like that is going to cost. I remember when they were 40 miles per trip and that would barley get me to work.

    GPS accuracy

    Redwing, that is a really neat game you play with your son! That is such a great age to start teaching something like that. By the time he is ready to learn to drive he will have quite a bit of road knowledge under his belt. All I hear from my kids is, "Are we there yet?" like the car is some...

    Finally!

    Congratulations. I need to clean out my car but I have been so busy that I just have not had the time! I want to get it done before winter because there is nothing worse then cleaning out your car in the cold.
